Emerald hack: Pokémon Emerald: Double Edition v1.2 [Complete]

[Saiklex]

Pok?mon Emerald: Double Edition v1.2 [Complete]

Pok�mon Emerald, but every trainer battle is a double battle.

VERSION 1.2 is out now! Bug fixes, better legendary integration and more!

Yup, inspired by Colosseum and XD, every trainer battle will be changed to a double battle! There is also increased difficulty and level curve! Features:

• Double battles everywhere! Every trainer completely reworked, with interesting (but still theme-consistent) teams, using a much greater variety of Pok�mon!
• Double wild battles in almost every location! (Except the water. Oh.)
• A steeper level curve, to make the games a fresh challenge. Expect level 40s by the 4th Gym!
• Emerald Battle Engine Upgrade- Physical/Special split, Fairy type, up-to-date moves/abilities/learnsets and more
• Super tough main-character battles that challenge you with advanced moves and techniques, from Gym Leaders, your rival and Maxie/Archie!
• An extra starter, Eevee, with methods provided early on to evolve, including Umbreon and Espeon!
• TMs, especially double-centric moves, are now available early on in Pok�marts, and are now infinite use
• General avoidance of HM requirements except Surf, Dive and Waterfall (7.8 too much water), especially in the late game
• Rematches with Gym leaders have been enhanced for the post-game, and you can find Maxie and Archie... somewhere!
• 386 version, with every single Pok�mon available to obtain (breeding/evolving still required).
• Secret extras!

I really hope you enjoy this hack! Many thanks to the people who helped me test this on the Discord.

• Everyone involved in the Emerald Battle Engine Upgrade project

• Discord testers again, specifically Midbus and MrSwizzE for all the feedback (if you have accounts you'd rather be credited as, let me know!)
• The creator of Hopeless Trainer Editor, the star of the entire hack
• The creators of Advance Map, Pok�mon Game Editor, XSE, Advance Mart, VBA and VBA-M and NUPS for making this all possible

If there are any bugs, please send them my way and I'll fix them ASAP, if it's a trainer issue, please send me their name if possible (if not, then their location).

Also if anyone wants to try and edit the title screen to say Double Version I'll love you forever.

SECRETS:

Spoiler:

MAKE SURE TO SAVE BEFORE ANY ENCOUNTER, THEY DO NOT COME BACK.

All Eevee evolution methods can be found in Dewford Town in one of the houses.

Mew- Pyre Tower
Mewtwo- Scorched Slab (Route 120)
Entei- Place the meteor back at Mt. Chimney
Raikou- Turn on the generator at New Mauville
Suicune- Go get the Scanner on the Abandoned Ship
Lugia, , Ho-oh and all starters- A secret island around Route 129-131
Celebi- Petalburg Woods
Latias/Latios- Sky Pillar as random encounters.
Deoxys- Meteor Falls (Bagon room)
Jirachi- White Rock in Mossdeep City
Hoenn starters- Smeargle Cave.
Moltres Fiery Path
Articuno Shoal Cave
Zapdos Roof of Lillycove

Secret rematch with Maxie and Archie- Smeargle Cave.

Known bugs:

• U-turn does not work! To do with the battle engine, cannot fix. Please save often!
• When you enter a double battle with only one Pok�mon (in your party or not-fainted), the game will either clone your only Pok�mon or bring a fainted Pok�mon into the battle (who can't attack or gain EXP). Finishing the battle will enable normal progression
• The bag sprites are glitched permanently. Cosmetic only.
• When fighting a single trainer, if both you and your opponent lose a Mon, then when you put your replacement in, it says "enemy trainer sent out your Pok�mon."
• Not all normal rematches are in. Okay, not a bug, and something I might change one day, but not for now.

Spoiler: v1.2 Changelog

-Moved the legendary birds and Deoxys
-Added Hoenn starters
-Fixed desert shortcut bug
-Fixed Scald TM text
-National Dex aquisition

Here's a spreadsheet with all new Pok�mon locations (if it's not on there, it's in,
but it's a secret ;)

whetsel very kindly put the effort in to document the trainers in this romhack. Find the sheet here.

Download the patch, apply it with NUPS on a clean Emerald ROM! If there's any problems, make sure to tick 'Ignore' under "If file is invalid" and try that.

They are indeed partially implemented thanks to the Emerald Battle Engine Upgrade! Right now you may encounter one in regular grass, but not in caves or surfing yet- am looking into it! :D

Completely done, aside from any bugs that are now discovered by players! Thanks!

 

[Saiklex]

Just uploaded a 386 version! Hope you enjoy!

 

[Yashi_Production]

Hello Saiklex, I would like to know what the rom ini you used for pokemon altered emerald on YAPE or another pokemon editor software please.

 

[supanut2000]

So how can I evolve my Eevee in this game? I'm at the second gym and still haven't got a clue on how can I evolve my Eevee...

 

[Raven Valt]

Do you mind uploading the locations list not as an office file, some of us are cheap and can't afford it.

 

[Master_Z]

The 386 link page says download is no longer available.

That link must have gone down really soon after I downloaded it, was fine as of my last post.

 

[Master_Z]

Dang. Can someone upload the 386 patch? Would love to play it ASAP.

 

[Mirizi]

mate, when will you update the sprites?

 

[Sorinshuto]

I started playing this game a few days ago and I love it ??????
Two quick questions though, how do I re-fight legendaries I missed? I lost to Entei but when I came back to get him, he was gone. I figured it was one of those things where if you come back after defeating the Elite Four, he'd be there again, but it didn't happen. Is there some place I can rematch him at?
And I've been scouring the entire region looking for the Suicune, Latios, and the Hoenn starters, but I haven't been able to find any of them. Would you mind giving a hint or a general idea of where they are?

 

[supernib]

How do you evolve clamperl?

 

[Takeshi55]

Reminds me a lot of Colo and XD.

 

[Vanquisher Prime]

Any chance of re-uploading the 386 version?

 

[looneyman1]

just curious, how does the battle fronteir work? In the original version of the game double battle modes didnt give you the symbols.
