Emerald hack: Pokémon Emerald++

[Nanigans]

I'm not sure what a pull request is, but for May/Brendan, I'd go with these as their final teams:

And for Wally, I'd go with this:

Maybe for Brendan and May, you can use their more modern teams throughout the game as well. Their original Emerald teams are pretty dire. And adding in an additional final battle with them on route 103 would be great because they otherwise basically disappear from the story after Lilycove.

I noticed Sidney still has a Hariyama which seems odd when all of the other Elite 4 stick to their types. Maybe add a Crawdaunt or Sableye since Phoebe isn't using Sableye?

I also noticed Norman repeats Slaking a few times in rematches. I don't think any other gym leaders do that. Maybe swap some of the other Normal types he used in there.

This hack really is fantastic and I don't want to backseat driver you, truly. I think so much of the game is truly perfect that it just makes these tiny things stand out all the more.

Please keep doing what you're doing!

I'm having an issue where I cannot see my avatar, the movement buttons do nothing, and the orientation of the camera implies that I am in trees that I should not be able to reach. I think I'm between Petalburg and the route to Oldale.

Hi Bipearso!

Yes, there's a bug with follow pokemon where you sometimes turn invisible and the camera takes you off screen. The best way to get out of it for the time being is to open the debug menu (Start + R), navigate to "Utilities" and select "Fly to map". This will work no matter where you are stuck. Apologies for the bug! I've been dealing with it myself, no fun.

v10 is now available on the main post!

Bug fixes in this release are:

• Jirachi bug is now finally fixed
• Key Items that exceed the limit (30 in the bag) will now transfer to the PC automatically
• All Key Items can be placed in the PC as needed
• Many Key Items have now become regular items
• New NPC in Littleroot "The Fixer" who will add back key items and set flags that you may have missed due to bugs in previous versions. Use as a last resort or if you know you have already missed something.

Known Bugs:

• Bike sprite will have a few stray pixels above the player until the screen is updated (map transition, opening start menu) when follow Pokemon is active
• Some Berry Tree palettes are incorrect
• PP resets after every battle, but not upon reviving a fainted Pokemon
• Sometimes when your lead party member faints or is swapped out, the sprite will disappear and you may get stuck.
  • I'm aware of this bug, but I can't seem to replicate it on a consistent basis. In the meantime, when this occurs, use the debug menu (Start + R)->Utilities->Fly to Map to reset your position at the nearest town that you've unlocked.

Thanks for playing everyone!
