Pokémon Blazing Emerald

Pokemon Blazing Emerald was originally released on the Pokemon Rom Hacks subreddit. Thanks to that wonderful community I was able to polish the game and get feedback that improved the experience tremendously. The Blazing Emerald release thread is now one of the highest voted posts on the subreddit.​

INTRODUCTION:​

Pokémon Blazing Emerald is a graphical and gameplay restlying of Pokémon Emerald designed around rebalancing and improving mechanics while still staying true to the original design and story. Many visual and quality of life improvements have been added to enhance the experience. You will start your journey with Clefairy, Eevee, or Pikachu, each of which provide a very unique gameplay experience thanks to their updated stats, abilities, and learnsets. The battles will be tough, but you've got a lot of tools at your disposal! Exciting and diverse new Pokemon are scattered throughout Hoenn to make every trainer's party feel truly unique! Discover hidden caves, mysterious groves, and more as you experience Pokémon Emerald in a fresh, new way!

EVENTS:​

Blazing Emerald offers a wide variety of fun and exciting events designed to fit in seamlessly with the Hoenn region. Rather than simply handing out legendaries like candy, Blazing Emerald will encourage you to explore the region to discover new locations with tough battles and interesting puzzles that leave you feeling like you earned that reward at the end.

Click here to see the full list of events and their locations!

Spoiler:

Burning Grotto and Shimmering Summit:

In the area outside of Rusturf Tunnel where you find the Blackglasses.

At the top you will encounter a shiny, event legendary. Upon defeat or capture,

you will get the gift of "incredible luck" meaning the next Pokemon you

encounter will be a guaranteed shiny Pokemon. This DOES work on Legendary

encounters like Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and any of the new encounters added.


**WARNING** The next Pokemon you encounter will 100% be shiny. This

means if you are caught by a trainer your shiny will be consumed by

them as they are sending out a Pokemon. Be extra careful if you want

to hunt a specific shiny!



Hidden Grove:

Past the Cut trees on the far right of Petalburg Woods is

the Hidden Grove. Inside you will find the Mew event, allowing earlier

access to the Pokemon if you want to use it on your team. Requires

Rock Smash.



Rusty Cellar and the Nightmare:

In Rustboro City you will find a new building. Once you have

obtained the Dream Orb from the Abandoned

Ship (requires HM08 Dive), you can return to the Rusty Cellar and use

the Dream Orb to begin the Darkrai Event.



Briny Trench and Verdant Enclave:

At the south end of Route 129

you will find a newly added Dive location. Entering will lead to a large

cave. After fighting through the cave you will reach the Verdant Enclave

where you can encounter Shaymin.



Manaphy:

Manaphy will be hiding in one of several underwater dive

locations in the Ocean near Sootopolis. It is not a random encounter

and has a sprite that you interact with to initiate the battle. There

is only ONE Manaphy so don't knock it out!



Seaspring Ruins and Wish Cave:

In the Ocean segment of Route 103 there

is a small cave you can enter. After defeating the Guardian inside,

you will be given access to the inner part of the cave. Within, you

will find Jirachi.



Crater Crag:

In the deepest part of Meteor Falls you will find an

incredibly powerful trainer. If you are able to defeat him, you will

be given access to a treasure room filled with extremely useful items

including a fully functioning Shiny Charm and a brand new TM to show

off!



Secret Tunnel and Trader's Den:

This is largely for fun playthroughs

and I would not recommend going here if you want to do a more serious

run. The Trader's Den is accessed via inspecting the tile behind the

plant in the Mauville Game Corner. After that, press the red button on

the far left wall in the Game Corner. A hole will open where the floor

tile was that will take you in to the Trader's Den. In the Trader's

Den you can pay 10,000 Pokémoney to be given a random Pokémon at

level 5. This can be ANY Pokémon at all, even a legendary, which is

why I'd recommend it only if you want to have a little fun and get

a potentially crazy or unique Pokémon on your team early on.



Specialty Cove:

A brand new location just below Mossdeep City on Route 127,

the Specialty Cove is the perfect spot to do some EV training! There are 6

separated, small caves that each contain Pokémon that will give 3 points of

their designated EV. There are signs located outside of each of the caves that

will tell you which room gives which EVs!



Find Vito, the fifth Winstrate, in Victory Road!

NEW POKEMON:

Spoiler:

• Shinx, Luxio, Luxray - Route 101 and 103

Latest patch: 1.0.4 - 8/16/2018
Instructions on how to apply the patch can be found within the .zip folder

Okay, so something in my game has glitched and gotten out of hand.
Suddenly after getting the exp share and the rare custom mon from the game corner my game has started spawning shiny wild pokemon 99/100 times. This is ridiculous, is this supposed to be happening in the game? My game practically has turned normal pokemon non-existent now and all I find are wild shiny; what is even happening?
Anyone else have this? There are literally more shiny pokemon than balls to catch them.

 

[spernica]

Can anyone tell me the purpose of the dream ball from the game corner?
its catch rate is basically trubbish, it seems to have no use, it costs 1000 coins [20,000poke], and it just is described as "can catch any pokemon you dream of".
What, if anything does this even do in this game?

Also, on a different note, using the exp share bought in the battle facility south of the desert increases shiny odds to about 8/10 due to a weird glitch; this even affects enemy trainer shiny odds. This glitch also affects the wonder trade machine, game corner gift pokemon, static encounters, and is permanently active till you deposit it in the PC. To activate the glitch, equip the exp share to a mon, place that mon in your party, then run till you find a shiny [takes literally 1-3 encounters], then effectively EVERYTHING is shiny.

My Duosion has max happiness but it won't evolve. My other happiness -based evolutions have all worked, but this one requires it be day time. My game does show day vs night and berry growth works fine. I just can't get a Reuniclus. Tried both 1.5.1 and 1.6 versions.

 

[Im just an average weeb]

ive only been playing for about a day but this rom is very good.

 

[Im just an average weeb]

i tried to use the moon stone on zangoose but it says no use

Can you please stop quoting the entire first post? You can report bugs or make your complaint without quoting the main post; this makes that page unreadable, really.

 

[Ragnar89]

Great game! Currently playing 1.6. Does golbat still evolve by happiness? Thanks!

 

[CorruptedJ22]

I Have to say genius idea making shiny kecleon purple.

 

[Abstergo]

I JUST downloaded this , and I would like to know, to evolve Eeeve into Espeon, do I need hapinnes on daytme, or use Sun Stone?

 

[Abstergo]

Ok kinda dumb question, I downloaded this version without knowing it wasnt the latest one, an while I did get Mew and Jirachi, how many of the Legendaries are not available on this version? And Is there a way to update my game without losing my save file?

 

[No-faced Wolf]

Which generation is this rom using? I'm trying to figure out just from moveset alone, but when I started, my Bagon didn't have the Gen 3 moveset. Just trying to make the best Salamence I can.

It's Gen 3 with some added moves or buffs if i recall correctly. Also, the version in this thread is over outdated. Join the discord for the latest update.

 

[abnormal_marxx]

how do i get the expanded starters option

 

[Inner Rhymes]

how do i get the expanded starters option

The patch hosted on this thread is outdated, if i recall correctly, the latest version is hosted on the official discord server. That has the expanded starter set.

 

[ZenonTheSlayer]

I downloaded the file and it turns out that it's the wrong format. I downloaded the .zip version btw

 

[Sith-Ryko]

Hey Dev, ive just found blazing emerald and im loving it!! Have come across some annoyingbugs tho... 1exp per battle and another where all music apart from pokemon cries is cut out. Any fixes??

 

[psych707]

It's a shame that this hack removed the ability to play as May. It might seem inconsequential to most, but I like to name myself after my daughter, so I was disappointed when I learned I couldn't do that for this hack.

 

[TonyBA]

i have tried for days to get this game to run and it refuses to even load. i get stuck on a white screen even tho the emulator is still running. idk what to do anymore

 

[Draconeel]

Can't rematch gym leaders. The pokenav tells me that they want a battle but when i talk to them they just say the same lines over and over i.e roxanne wants to be better or somethibg like that. Only Norman and Flannery are working for rematches.

However the game is pretty good.
