Emerald hack: Pokémon Emerald Genesis [Beta 2.1]

[Orion01]

You've attracted my attention with the absol, when I get my emulator compiled again I'll have to check this hack out.

Haven't played Emerald in over a decade and this hack seems to be the most interesting I've seen so far. Should I wait for 2.0 or start now ?

I just discovered this rom hack and want to know if 2.0 will be out in the next few weeks

The author hasn't replied to anything here in a long time. I wouldn't bother waiting.

I've actually just finished up work on Beta 2. I've still got some testing to do before I'll release it, but it's very close to a release at this point.

I haven't been active here of late as I haven't had much of a reason to be here. I've been steadily working on the next Beta, getting closer and closer to a release, with nothing more to say other than what I already have. Plus, 2 and a half months without a post really isn't a long time in this community.

Nice to hear that the beta 2 release is imminent, will definitely check back in when it is released.

Well crap, I just started a game and I don't wanna start over. I suppose it's not gonna be save compatible right ?

Due to some of the new features in Beta 2. I strongly recommend that you start over once I release it. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm not that far into the game so I guess I could just transfer all my pokemon to 2.0 (if that's possible) and speedrun to where I was. Any ETA and changelog ?

You should be able to use pkhex to duplicate your mons on a new save. ETA would be <10 days provided nothing goes horribly wrong in testing. A Changelog will be provided with the new release.

Didn't know about this, thanks for the tip. For those who want to know how to import their pokemons too here's what I did : load your old save, put all your party-battle box mons into your box, Tools -> Data -> Dump boxes, then go to SAV -> Trainer Info -> Copy your TID and SID. Load your new save, Tools -> Data -> Load Boxes and then make sure your TID/SID match those of your old save, otherwise your pokemons won't be considered yours, then export save. This is all your need to do AFAIK.

Is there changes to the main story? As i said in a previous comment i love emerald
but i always thought the story kind of lacked. Your rival doesnt really try, these two idiot teams fighting over water and land -_- ect. Also what i think would be a good idea is getting gym leaders involved in their home town issues. Never understand why theres a powerful gym leader that stays in the gym while the town is going through a crisis? Lol, or have players like lance or steven help you out during certain situations. More double battles. You know to keep it interesting.


Havent played yet. Still waiting on the next release, but im sure this will be one of my favorites. Best of luck :)

Does the game have Magmortar or Electivire ? Because I tried the Trade stone to evolve Magmar into Magmotar but it was not use.

So, there are a few extra rival battles to try and flesh out some characters a bit more, but the story at large remains pretty similar to vanilla Emerald. The only problem with adding more of those double battles like the one with Steven in Mossdeep, is that they're almost impossible to make. Otherwise, I think that would be a great idea to implement.

Yep! They evolve via the Fire Stone and Thunderstone respectively. I'll try to make up an evolution guide before releasing Beta 2. Hope you're enjoying the hack!

Great to see you active again, Hillsy13!

I'm now entertained playing the famous hack "Dark Violet" for the first time. I choosed to play Dark Violet while I was waiting for your hack. You know, Kanto and Hoenn are my top favorites, and that's why for the past months I was trying to find a hack that just make a right improvement in those games, and even if the Kanto region with Red, Green, Oak and everybody, has the most hacks, it's at the same time the most difficult to find a quality one that real do it justice... however with the Hoenn region, I did not need to try to find much, because your hack Emerald Genesis has a description and a presentation that has everything to do justice to Emerald, because I found it simple and focused, and that's the right way to do it!

Thank you, Hillsy13!
And sorry if I said anything wrong in any of my posts.
I will play your entire hack and I will also do a review at the end! I'm positive it will be one of the bests! o/
