Emerald hack: Pokémon Saffron Version

[C7XL]

To be fair that was nearly a year ago, is there a more present update on progress?

Even so, it would be the same response from the creator.

Updates are posted from time to time on the Discord channel.

 

[Krakanous]

Yeah fair enough. Unbound so far is keeping me occupied, very impressive stuff!

 

[Jayagbusa_the great?]

[PokÈlf]

[Corveone]

Really looking forward to this one, it looks awesome so far.

 

[Fargusnoshawott]

I can't wait to play Saffron next year!! The scenery and battle backgrounds are just plain stellar, and the Aziran variants looks awesome!
I hope this and Unbound can help me kill time until GF announces Sinnoh remakes!

 

[Roni]

already played the 6 Gym beta a while ago, and i remember it being super cool already. the fact that there's gonna be even more improvements to this means it's gon be a nuts game. excited af :D :D

I was just thinking again about ultra beasts and how you are deciding not to include them. Now, I've been playing a lot of unbound and other ROMs that feature them and personally think that some, absolutely, should not be included. On the flip side, I think there is a place for a couple, especially with regards to the story about the great migration being influenced by mythical and legendary Pokémon. There are of course some legendaries that share characteristics with the UBs such as Cosmog, Necrozma and Eternatus, will they be in the game? And what about Meltan and the Gen 8 legends like the new Regis? Just wondered. Anyway, wishing you luck with with the ROM it looks...stunning. take care.

Welcome to the Azira Region

Azira is a dense region in South America that is home to many species of Pokémon while they migrate across the globe. Once every decade, a majority of the migration paths sync up and cause the region's Pokémon population to skyrocket! This event is known as the Great Migration. Trainers, gym leaders, professors, and adventurers come from far and wide to experience this grand event.

Your family is from the Hoenn region, where your brother ventured out to become a Pokémon master! Now it is your turn. You and your mother have moved to Haba island, a small landmass located just off the coast of the mainland. Upon arriving, Professor Oak recruits you to help him with his studies. He believes the migration paths are directly related to the behavior of legendary and mythical Pokémon, and needs your help to collect data for his research on this phenomena.

Explore Azira while you discover the secret to the migration routes, uncover Team Rocket's nefarious plan, and encounter some familiar faces along the way!

Pokémon Saffron Demo v2

Demo v2 is very outdated and does not include most of what is listed above.
I advise you wait for the next release before playing.

as far as i know it isn't complete yet, but perhaps sooner or later mattymann will be able to fully push through with the game completion.

as for recommendations, please go to the Fan Game Recommendations section to get better assistance.

No need to quote the entire OP and post 3 times...once is enough.

No rom hack seems to fulfill all those requirements so far, other than Saffron, but it's not completed yet. The creator advices to wait for the next release.

Unbound.

 

[Corveone]

Unbound.

Unbound doesn't have all Pokémon. It goes up to gen 7, and many moves/abilities are outdated.
Radical Red does have Gen 8 but doesn't have the new region.
Saffron has/will have everything updated to Gen 8 and new region. But it's not finished.

 

[kalarie]

@wipoon

Unbound is as updated as a Gen III ROM hack can get at this point in terms of moves and abilities.

Saffron won't have all pokemon either, but a selection of pokemon from different generations as far as I know. Saffron will use the same base as Pokemon Unbound, so I doubt that it will be more ''updated'' to newer Generation stuff than Unbound. Overworld graphics are definitely much better though.

Outdated? It's the most updated there is, haha.
Radical Red and Saffron both use the CFRU (the same engine as Unbound); but yes, both of the games manually added Gen VIII.

Actually, saffron will have all pokemon including gen 8. And yes i'm using the cfru, but not as a base but rather a supplemental piece that is being improved upon. So saffron actually will include moves/abilities and effects that are not included in the cfru.
