Pokemon Taco Emerald ROM

Pokemon Taco Emerald was made so that I could nuzlocke it at a higher difficulty than Base Pokémon Emerald, with some changes to spice it up.  It’s a difficulty hack, but I put a lot of love into it, and there are fun surprises too! (Fairy Type and Special/Physical split are in too). All gyms are double battles, and you get unlimited rare tacos.

Features

• All gyms are double battles
• Unlimited Rare Tacos in Littleroot town.
• Removed badge Boost
• Gen 4 Evolutions have been added!
• Added physical special split.
• Fixed trade evos + added Version exclusives.
• Added Fairy type.
• Changed some Pokémon types. (sometimes a sprite change to show this)
• I balanced the game by buffing weak Pokémon, rather than nerfing strong ones.
• The only Pokémon that was straight nerfed was Gyarados (no Dragon Dance), as he is a guaranteed encounter.
• I recommend trying any of the weaker Pokémon that were in base Hoenn, as that is where you will see the largest difference in this ROM.
• Evolution stone shop in Pacifidlog town.
• TM colors and descriptions may be incorrect on changed moves
• Hoenn Pokémon have been given the most love, but any Pokémon should be obtainable, probably with a better moveset. (minus legends).
• Shiny Stone has been added
• Level caps for all gyms and Elite Four

Changelog

V3.2.1

• As a reminder, the E4 and gym leaders are quite different. If you try this out you should have a unique and fun Emerald adventure.
• Gen 4 evos added

V3.2.0

• Re-vamped E4 + gym leaders.
• It’s a work-in progress with QOL changes yet to come. Glitches may happen so be warned.
• This should be the “canon” Taco Emerald gym leaders and e4 from now on, just needs a lot of polishing.

V3.1.4

• Fixed a flash cannon issue
• Moved the Johto Starters to Oldale
• Edited some early game movesets.
• Wattson’s Magneton now has Metal Sound instead of Flash Cannon (I want him to have less coverage).
• Barboach has been buffed, and is available by old rod on 111 and 117, so pick which route you decide to miss out on other Pokemon if you want Barboach.
• Edited some Pokemarts to sell EV items at a decent price
