Pokémon Emerald 650 is a patch of Emerald that I have been working on for almost a year now, and I finally say that it is ready for a release! As the name implies, this is a patch with over 600+ Pokémon in it from the first 5 generations, and Sylveon, because it is a cross-gen evolutions. The reason there is no 6th generation is because there is a lack of sprites for them, and it will be quite a while before they are made. This is a resource patch, meaning that the main storyline has not been changed. It's just...everything else. This is meant to be the base for someone to make their own patch. Look below for the features in this hack.
Features:
650 Pokémon, along with stats, evolutions, movesets, Dex entries, sprites (Updated for Gen 1-3 as well), and cries
Fairy-type is its own type, included on the old and new Pokémon, old and new moves, and in the Pokédex
Evolutions has been expanded to 8 per Pokémon, for Eevee specifically
4 Evolutionary items have been added, specifically the Dawn Stone, Dusk Stone, and Shiny Stone from Gen IV, and the Link Cable from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
New Evolution Methods have been added, like Map Name Evolution, Move Name Evolution, etc.
All Pokémon that evolve through trade do not anymore
100+ new moves, along with some new move animations, new descriptions and move effects
Old moves have been updated, some with edited powers, accuracy, and/or effects
Reusable TMs, so no worrying about losing any
Eggs now hatch at Level 1
You can run in buildings
This patch is decapped, meaning the game doesn't CAP everything
When you capture a Pokémon, it will give you EXP for it


Firstly, I must say that this is one of the best patches I've ever seen.

Secondly, I'm sorry guys, I know I've already asked a couple of questions earlier regarding this & have no intention of spamming, but I don't seem to be getting any responses & I just can't seem to understand why no ones providing a workable download link.

Even in the original thread doesn't have any, so I was seriously starting to wonder if using the patch is legal or not, coz I don't believe that such a great patch doesn't have any download links.

I understand that the patch was redacted by the moderators due to some issues regarding PGE

But come on guys I'm sure if not many, at least some of you do have that patch. I already saw a hack made from it called Theta Emerald.

Can't someone who has downloaded the patch, just put the patched GBA ROM, along with the list of all Offset changes, up for download (without including PGE, so that there are no issues), so that its workable.

Is that possible? please!

It is not illegal to use, it was redacted because of PGE being included. Your workaround method, however, would be illegal, as distributing ROMs is not allowed.
Just look up "pokemon emerald 650 patch" or somethin like that. I was able to find it doing this~

Hey, thnx for that info BluRose, coz I had no idea that there was a rule against ROM distribution~_~
I did look up emerald 650 patch on google, but most of them results lead back to the main pokecommunity thread. The working one I found is in some wierd foreign language, so I couldn't figure out how to download the patch & even if it was the actual patch or not :(

Hmmm I wouldn't run the risk of downloading it from any odd website. Luckly for you though, I've had a copy in my downloads. Idk whether or not its up to date or not.

For posterity's sake, here's my response to LegendChu's VM asking me the same thing:

It was merely the redistribution of PGE which was illegal: the tool's license forbids it from being distributed by anyone other than the author, and so it being bundled with the patch violated that (and would have been grounds for legal action to be taken against The PokéCommunity as it was hosting it). The patch itself is fine, it's just the inclusion of PGE which is illegal.
