Emerald hack: Pokemon Expert Emerald~ FINAL BETA RELEASED (Project Complete)

[Satoshi Ookami]

Oh man, this looks awesome!
I can't wait to play! Well, I would play it, but my R4's GBA Emulator doesn't support Emerald :o
Nice hack though!

Then you need to play on PC... not a bad alternative ;)

I have released the next Beta as the previous release had a few outdated errors that needed work on, this release doesn't just focus on fixing any existing bugs, I have also added a few new tidbits here and there. Some of these are minor changes such as type changes, attack changes etc and then some are more notable such as the replacement of the outdated RSE Sprites, Replacing Shuckle with Roserade and Inserting more OW sprites.

Beta 1.3 has been released which includes significant changes, all of which can be found below:

Changelog ​

- Individually inserted most of the Pokémon Black & White Sprites replacing the Pokémon Emerald Sprites, Pokemon look more fresh! (No Sinnoh/Unova Pokémon)

- Roserade has been inserted, she replaces Shuckle.

- Added Intro Text (At the beginning of the game to verify that the ROM has been patched)

- Updates/Changes to several boss teams including Gym Leaders, Rivals, E4 and Maxie & Archie giving a more
tactical approach to these battles

- Altered some movepools, i.e Chimechos now has eight additional moves

- Changed several abilities and types making things a little more even

- Edited a few Attacks regarding PP, Power and Accuracy. Example: Grasswhistle now has an Accuracy of 100

- Rebalaced the Base Stat Total distribution of Pokemon (Increased & Decreased) for more balance

- Updated Genders to suit respected Pokemon i.e Mr. Mime - Male, Luvdisc - Female

- Fixed some bugs including The Sky Pillar and Route 106 errors.

- Replaced some Ow's to match their species (Jirachi, Eevee, Bulbasaur, Charmander & Squirtle) - Thanks to Reverie_Aion for his Sprite Palletes​

Hi, I just started playing this Pokemon hack and found a bug in Rustboro City: After entering the Pokecenter I was trapped in a 1x1 black room and couldn't leave any more.
Youtube video of the bug:


PS: Despite of that the hack seems to be pretty awesome ;)

Thanks for pointing that out, I've fixed that error and I've re-uploaded the Beta. Strange for that to happen cause I tried it myself just now and the same thing happened, it was the Warp that had been moved onto a Black tile which I don't remember editing at any point.

I successfully patched the file but when I extract the file to my android the game is the original emerald and not expert emerald.

What I am doing wrong the the game ends up not being expert emerald though I patched it.

Will I be able to continue my old savegame when updating to the patched version?

In the 2nd Gym Battle, Heracross has a corrupted cry.

The title screen still says about original Emerald so don't worry. You can check whether you were successful by playing a bit and see the Poke encounters on Route 201

Yes you can still play with your old save but Suicune mentioned that it would be wise to start a fresh game.

 

[Dumpfacedrew]

I fixed the problem. I used the final version of the patch and it worked. I guess I was using the old one before and it didn't work.

So far I beat the first gym boss, so far it's clean no bugs/glitches.

I've also noticed that nuzleaf also has a corrupted cry.

On route 108, on the abandoned ship in the cabin room were you can dive there's, well this when you try to leave the room.

Now if I enter the Pokecenter I enter it on the left side of the door, not on the right as usual

I thought these missingno's were fixed in the latest patch. Are you updated?

 

[NostalgiaFreak]

I'm curious, how much harder is this compared to the original? Is this even beatable without cheats and hacks?

 

[Golden Snow™]

Yea go there yourself to check it out, if its not there then I know it me.

Yes definitely this game is beatable. Just use a good team as well a strategy to beat the hack.

Every game is beatable without cheats and hacks...

 

[Hayabusa-Kun]

Owh man i will surely play this game! For sure!!

Sire, the new patch's great!
Even though the new sprites're not animated at all, at least I could have a fresher look than the last patch.

Ps would it be possible if gen5 moves were added?
