Emerald Z
a hack of Emerald by Z-nogyroP
A hack of Pokémon Emerald that contains, among other things, over 100 Fakemon with thoughtful designs and high-quality sprites, a carefully-curated Pokédex, shuffled Gym Leaders, buffs to weak Pokémon, some new maps, and a lot of love.
Features:
- A Pokédex of 500 Pokémon, chosen from generations 1-9, with a large variety of my own Fakemon added in.
- Many buffs to weak Pokémon, as well as customized learnsets.
- Your usual modern battle mechanics, which is to say the physical / special split, Fairy-type.
- 12-character Pokémon names and 16-character Ability and move names.
- New moves and Abilities.
- 99 TMs. TMs, for balance reasons, are single-use, but remain accessible.
- More interesting and useful replacements to the Battle Tents.
- All Gym Leaders and Elite Four members have been shuffled around, so your team will be tested in different ways.
- There is a Shiny Charm immediately accessible in your room, which can also be removed at any time.
- Difficulty was not a primary focus of this hack, so there are no level caps or competitive movesets.
- Almost no Pokémon are fully locked to lategame.
- The ruins that once held the Regis are now accessible from the start, and have all-new puzzles.
- Winning big at the Game Corner is much easier.
