A pokeemerald decomp ROM hack.
TL;DR
We're currently looking for pixel artists and spriters – ideally ones who can come on-board long term as our story continues to develop over the next couple of years. We have no (or extremely limited) plans for fakemon, so you'd be taking care of our human characters. In general, we want our front- and back-sprites to be in keeping with the Gen 3 style, with maybe more of a Gen 4 feel to the overworld sprites.
We'll also need a resident tilemap expert. In general, I'm pretty happy designing most of the tiles on my own, but crunching them down to two 16-colour layers and getting them into the game kinda makes my brain hurt.
We'll need many, many more roles filled as time goes on, but that's it for now.

The places may be familiar... but it's a whole new world.
It's been 18 months since Elio and Selene completed their island journeys and conquered the Alola League. But when it came to beating Team Rainbow Rocket, they just weren't up to the task.
In this globetrotting, alternate-universe adventure, the Pokémon world has fallen into the hands of the villainous teams – and it's up to you to reclaim it! Thanks to Professor Magnolia and Looker, you've been recruited into the ranks of the Unova region's Amnesty Institute. Under their tutelage, will you have what it takes to defeat Team Rainbow Rocket and restore order to the world?
- Revisit familiar locations from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, Paldea – and beyond! See how time and tyranny have affected the regions you know and love, and build a team of your all-time favourite Pokémon.
- Complete story-rich missions and face off against the villainous teams! Infiltrate, battle, and recruit operatives from Teams Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma, Flare, Skull, Yell, and Star. Uncover their true motives, and fight to win the citizenry's hearts and minds.
- Encounter the mythical Pokémon Hoopa! Discover the role it plays in the Amnesty Institute's plans – and the ReEngine system that's helping them stay hidden.
New features
Unlock the world with your Poké Pass
Checkpoints, curfews, and Poké Ball restrictions abound in this new world – and your Poké Pass is how you'll get around them! At first it'll give you access to Pokémon Centres and Battle Clubs, but you'll get regular upgrades as you rise through the Institute's ranks.
Easier to read and easier on the eyes
We've redrawn the classic Pokémon Emerald font to make it smoother and more readable. Where possible, we've replaced harsh shadows with faux-antialiasing. We also tweaked the spacing to fit more text on each line, and increased text speeds across the board.
A classic game with a modern attitude
We're leaving no stone unturned when it comes to quality-of-life improvements. That means a more streamlined introduction, optional reminders to save, and clearer language in menus. And you'll have the Running Shoes from the very start.
Know your Mould Breaker from your Motor Drive
Pokémon games don't always do a good job of explaining their mechanics. Turn on our new Trainer Explainers and, next time a Pokémon breaks the mould, shudders in anticipation, or lays a curse on your Pokémon – you'll know exactly what to expect.
Other features
- Expanded battle mechanics: We're taking full advantage of the pokeemerald Expansion. So you'll encounter Pokémon, moves, abilities, and items that didn't appear in the original game.
- British English: We're British developers, so we're writing in our native tongue! Hope you're ready to visit the "Pokémon Centre" with us – that's the building with the "red-coloured" roof.
- And many more features to be announced!
