So, this is something that I should bring up, after a week of not really saying anything. It's great that I'm getting all of the feedback with the alpha release of Emerald 721. Don't worry guys, I'm getting your messages left and right lol, and I've been working on quite a couple of fixes, and adding in more things here and there. I'll be honest...it's getting boring. Yeah, it's really awesome that this is a things, and yeah, the idea of including current generation features into a past generation game is incredible. But, it's kind of stale now. However, I did find a really cool thing a few days ago that is being worked on, I'm hoping, as we speak. It's called the Emerald Battle Engine Upgrade. Here are some of the features of this:
- Damage Calculator written from scratch
- Physical/Status Split
- Fairy Type
- Triple Pokemon Types in Battle
- Dual Move Types
- Optimized and Updated Type Effectiveness Calculation
- Almost all Gen 4-6 Abilities
- Updated Abilities
- Almost all 4-6 Item Effects
- Updated Item Effects
- Triple and more Stat Changes
- Updated Critical Move Calculation
- Rewritten Battle Script Commands
- Entry Hazards
- New Battle Messages to support new Abilities, Moves and Item Effects
- Plenty of Gen 4-6 Move Effects
- Almost all gen4 move animations and some move animations from Gen5 and Gen6
- And much more!
This kind of sounds like the current patch, but this is more clean, and it is still being worked on, meaning that even more features are being added, like an improved Mega Evolution/Primal Reversion feature that will be better than the current one in Emerald 721, and forms/formes. That features not done yet, so I'll wait until that's finished. Hopefully soon. By people seeing this...this means the game is on an indefinite hiatus, and I have no idea when it will be picked up again. Though, tbh, it's fine. I guess I'll make videos other than Pokémon hacks and Brawl hacks. That's it for this short update. Possibly the last Pokémon hack video I will make for a long time will be uploaded sometime this week. Until then, later! :) - The LC
