Emerald hack: Pokemon Double Emerald

My name is Hackachu, and this game is Pokémon Double Emerald Version (as seen by the big green text above). The game is pretty much exactly what it sounds like-- all Pokémon have been doubled in level. That's the primary aspect.

Things to see in Beta 1:

• Edited the majority of trainers all the way from the first Rival battle to fighting Steven in Meteor Falls
• Majority of wild Pokémon are now doubled in level
• Changed sections of dialogue to meet trainer Pokémon (If a person had a Level 15 Magikarp, and it is now a Level 30 Gyrados, it would go from "Look at my MAGIKARP" to "Look at my GYRADOS")
• Changed (most) of the rematch Pokémon to double level
  

Things to be added in future releases:

• Finish editing the trainer Pokémon that have not been doubled
• Finish editing the Wild Pokémon that have not been doubled
• Edit event Pokémon
• De-capitalize text
• Bug fixes
• More obtainable Pokémon
• Ability to obtain event legendaries
• Map changes

I may also add additional things if a large portion of players want them.


Known Bugs

• As a female, talking to your mom sometimes restarts the game rather than healing your Pokémon (SAVE BEFORE HEALING WITH HER, DON'T RISK IT)
• Trainers sometimes do not have edited Pokémon

Please report any bugs.

How To Patch
If you don't already know this, here are the steps to apply an IPS patch.
1. Unzip the folder.

I have completed this. The time shown on my Hall of fame record was 62:43. My beta tester also finished, and the time shown on his Hall of Fame record was 54:31. I would highly recommend using the fast forward function. Unless you have the time and patience, of course.

Thank you for playing. Enjoy this Pokémon hack.

Update coming soon.

Well...this is interesting. Nice concept behind this hack.

Would this also mean that the Zigzagoon you face when saving Prof. Birch is doubled in its level, as well as your starter? Or are they still the same?

I've do not seen any sense of this hack? This is not even hack. Almost all things was keeped that same. So?

Zigzagoon is doubled, starters are the same.

It's in the side projects forum for a reason, it is simply a difficulty increase.

This is going to be one wild difficulty ramp... especially if you plan on doubling the levels of event Pokemon. Do you plan on making every Pokemon, from Gen I to Gen III, available in this, or will it just be the native Hoenn Pokemon? Either of those will still make an interesting grind game :p
Good luck!

Only those native to Hoenn at the moment, though I very well may update this in the future. The game is definitely difficult, and as I mentioned, it does take a very long time to not only grind but also get a team suitable to beat the elite four.

Updates coming soon, thank you for showing interest!
