Emerald hack: Pokémon Scorched Silver v1.3 [Complete]

[Score!]

Intro
Hey, it's been a while. I'm sure nobody expected to see me again.
In my typical fashion, I've kept the development of this game well hidden. Nevertheless, this is a complete game with 8 badges, and plenty of post game content. This is not a remake of Gold and Silver, but a sequel with an entirely new story.
Fair warning – The gym leaders use items and some setup moves making this game moderately difficult, but not impossible. If you defeat all available trainers before each gym, and use a little strategy, you should be fine.

Hope you all enjoy it!

Set 20 years after the events of Gold and Silver, you will meet many old and new characters along your journey, as well as unravel more secrets of the region. Discover a wide variety of pokémon and a brand new storyline, as your path becomes intertwined with a mysterious group calling themselves Team Phoenix, who seem hell-bent on capturing Celebi for some nefarious scheme.

Bugs
- Game freezes after falling down with Oliver in the Ruins of Alph: Fixed in v1.1 patch
- Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Voltorb currently don't evolve. Fixed in v1.1 patch
- Galarian Weezing (maybe others too?) seems to break double battles a little (the sprites will flip around some, not game breaking, but looks funny)
- Mega evolution symbol will stay on screen after the mega pokémon has fainted sometimes. Goes away after battle, or if you view your other pokémon
- In the multi double battles, if all of your teammate's pokémon faint, it may not let you switch
- Galarian Yamask can't currently evolve to Runerigus. Fixed and re-uploaded v1.2 patch 7/3/24 (Galarian Yamask just needs to sustain 49+ damage in battle, uses max HP - current HP formula).

Download
Current version attached below as a zipped UPS patch. Apply to a clean Pokémon Emerald rom, Emerald (U) (TrashMan) using NUPS patcher preferably.

hey !! just wondering but what's the rarity of karrablast holding a metal coat ? i've caught probably over 30 of them and not a single one is holding it :( or like where is the one in olivine alternatively ? i looked everywhere and couldn't find it

I haven't been able to find any!? The spread sheet says it's in the safari zone but I can't find any am I doing something wrong

You have to get surf first, then go to the desert, clockwise around the perimeter, and surf from the northeast side of the desert. Cross that water and youll arrive at the grass that has both karrablast and shelmet. The trades are in one of the houses in Olivine, with the 2 boys sitting at the tables and the mom pacing at the top of the house.

Found the debug screen I can still access! It's when you hit select from a pokemon summary screen.

Does anyone know how to check the clock? Trying to evolve my own tempo rockinruff

 

[Daenym]

Are the Latis available to catch? Or was that Latias just there to make us suffer?

Spoilers for after pokemon league.

Spoiler: Spoilers

i was fighting Whitney. She has a H-Zoroark, and it has the ability by which it transforms into the last pokemon of the party. In this case, this was Kangashkan. It then mega evolved into Mega Kangashkan. After zoroark was down, Whitney sent the real Kangashkan in, who also mega evolved. Is this correct? Two mega evolutions in a single fight? Or is it a weird mechanic with zoroark?

Amazing hack BTW. Having a lot of fun with the after league content.

 

[TheUltimateLuigi]

I have to ask but where exactly do you get Flash?

 

[Sloo]

Yup... That's more less the case. 😄 And double battle mechanics aren't doing me any favors for that purpose...
Plus I just don't enjoy them as much... I'm terrible at multitasking... 😂

Oh, by the way, regarding the E4...

Spoiler:

1. Why does Janine wear a mask?
2.How come a ghost of Agatha instead of Morty for example?
3.And why not go with a previously known Fire type trainer like Flannery or Flint?
Would have been interesting to see more familiar faces.

And I don't know if you intended it or not, but trades do work. Using MyBoy! and playing around with some save states etc I got all 3 Kanto starters, haha... Now I just need to do the same for Totodile and Chikorita and I'll have all the available starters.

Also, double battles force the switching mechanism to be "set" instead of "switch", so you aren't asked if you want to switch for another pokemon. This also makes them more difficult.
I did intend for trades to work, and made them available from the start.

Spoiler:

I feel like I'm almost ruining the mystery for you, but most of those are "just cuz".
I though Janine would look cooler with a mask, and thought it would be more interesting to have Agatha still so focused on pokemon battling that she returned from the grave.
As for the fire type trainer, his outfit at least is modeled after Benimaru from That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime.

 

[Sloo]

Is that really a completely locked up npc? That's hilarious.

Yup.

Does any one know how long it takes for eggs to hatch?

It depends on which pokemon is in the egg. They have different hatch rates.

Found the debug screen I can still access! It's when you hit select from a pokemon summary screen.

Oh, there's a second one?

Does anyone know how to check the clock? Trying to evolve my own tempo rockinruff

Currently, the only in game clock you can check is in your bedroom.
I would kind of like to add a sort of digital clock to your trainer card, or the options menu.

Are the Latis available to catch? Or was that Latias just there to make us suffer?

The latter.

That's weird, I've never had that happen to me lol. It usually just sets up a nasty plot.

Down in the Slowpoke Well.

is there any walkthrough avaliable for whirl islands? ive been around the caves for 2 hours and i just cant find lugia its so frustrating

 

[zolyoo]

Hey Sloo, I have 4 gym badges in this game so far and I am loving it so far. I just wanted to ask you if you can make the wild pokemon a higher level that are close to the level cap for the next gym. I have to do a lot of grinding because I just caught a level 25 sandile that I just put on my team and the level cap is 42 for me. If you could maybe put audino and chansey's in routes to help people with their grinding which could be very useful or if you just give us the gen 6 exp share. I also think you should add nature mints in the game because I really hate catching a pokemon with a bad nature and then just keep catching the same pokemon you want until you get a good nature. I would love that if you would do this in the game. You should also make the TM's reusable so we can have it on more pokemon instead of only one. You should also add more TM's so pokemon can have access to more moves. Also you should make the item bag's have infinite storage because we hate having to put other items in our pc. This is a really good game but if you would do this I would like it much better.

It's basically the same layout as HGSS, so a guide for that would work. There are just some extra maps added in after the entrance caves.

I raised the wild levels up in 1.2

 

[Tayu]

Is it possible to trade with a friend? If so, how? Any specific emulators you'd want to use for it?

 

[zolyoo]

Hey Sloo, there is something I also wanted to ask you. Can you make the TM's infinite use? I hate single use TM's and I have a Togetic that knows no attacking moves and I wanted to put Dazzling Gleam on it but I already put it on a different pokemon so I don't know any good fairy type moves to use on it. There is Draining Kiss but it's kinda weak and Dazzling Gleam is much better. I would like you to make TM's in this game infinite use because other people also want TM moves on their other Pokemon with not just one Pokemon.

 

[Jtrobles21]

Hey Sloo, noticed urshifu didn't learn wicked blow? Did I do something wrong or was the move not implemented?

 

[Bidoof_Slayer]

I'm really enjoying the hack but can you please make tms unlimited?

Also does the game have Bloodmoon ursaluna??

 

[Plus-Sized Scribe]

Walked into the Cianwood Gym...

@Sloo, you can't fool me. I know a cult when I see one.

 

[qazmachuck]

Hello, how to evolve Eevee to Espeon? Even though my Eevee doesn't know a Fairy type move, it always evolves to Sylveon. RTC is on and I'm trying on the day time (9 am).
