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

[Sloo]

Might be an unpopular opinion but I actually like Typhlosion only having the one type - apart from the interesting interaction of using Burn Up to go typeless, not enough fully evolved starters are monotype. Would make for a unique design having to come up with a powerful gimmick while retaining the monotype, I think.

True, it just has a dark-type look to it

Honestly, I don't think we need the gen 6 exp share. You can maybe just add a nurse joy in every pokemon center and add a chansey, blissey, or audino to their team. The gen 6 exp share overlevels you and when your overleveled fighting trainers across the game it will just be boring. So I think you should add a trainer in the game that has chansey's, blissey's, or audino's for people to help with their grinding and you can maybe have the trainer to ask you what level should the chansey, blissey, or audino be depending on your level. For example, If your pokemon are around level 25 and the level cap is 32 and you want your pokemon to get to that kind of level the trainer can ask you what level should his pokemon be when you battle him and you say level 30 team with chansey's, blissey's, or audino's then you will fight the nurse joy's team while her pokemon are all level 30. You can do any level like level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100. I think this might be easier. I hope I helped :)

Edit- Also, Is a hisuian typhlosion mega going to be added to the game? I really like the design that you made it look like a witch doctor and I liked it a lot. If this is going to be in the game then I will definitely use it. I am thinking of the shadow tag ability for it and for some reason i'm also thinking of contrary overheat.

How can I evolve rotom?

 

[Roger928]

Hey there, been playing this and it's been a great game so far. Just have one question, how do I evolve Yamask? Already at lv 49 and have taken 49+ damage in battles and nothing happens.

 

[Tyr 01]

I've just got the Kings Rock to evolve slowpoke and I'm wondering if you've changed it from slowpoke having to hold it while being traded or not

Nevermind found out it just needs to hold it and level up

 

[woodsiv]

I think there was an oversight in the endgame. There is no PC available from Route 27 all the way to victory road. I have to have a level 20 tentacool in my party for waterfall as i didnt choose the gator starter. So not only do I have to do a bunch of difficult fights with 5 mons, but also the fact that my other mon I will have to spend a good chunk of time grinding them up to level

Yeah I HATE how they changed the EXP share. They then made it worse in Lets Go and Sword and Shield in that you couldnt turn it off. The use of EXP candy was hardly a improvement to rectify the permenant EXP share.

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!

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.

If you are on an older patch, you should be able to keep your save file!
Make sure to keep your .sav file, and replace the .gba file with a new one that was patched to a clean emerald rom. Also make sure the new .gba file has the same name as the old one.
(re-uploaded 1.1 in case your save doesn't carry over)

v1.3 patch (in progress)
- Fix pokéflute - done
- Mime Jr. evolves to Galarian Mr. Mime with Ice Stone - done
- More tile fixes - done
- Reusable TMs and deletable HMs - done
- Some egg moves added to the Move Relearner for all pokémon - in progress
- Nature mints (Should be easier than an NPC) - in progress
- Bag expanded to 120 items (will not be able to keep old save files after this) - in progress
- Gen 6 Exp Share - will probably do this, but have to adjust all trainer and wild levels, so it will take a minute
- New mega forms for the Johto starters - in progress

v1.2 patch
- Raises wild pokémon levels for easier grinding and team building
- Nerfed 2nd gym leader some
- Add macho brace
- Fix bike shop glitch (if you don't have enough money)
- Makes first Lazulan cutscene unskippable

Do Chansey, Blissey, and Audino just give a lot more exp than other pokemon, or what?
One of the two Hisuian Typhlosions will be in the game. I'm going to have another poll after the current one for them. You can find the alternate sprite a few posts below the witch doctor.
I do like the idea of contrary overheat for the witch doctor. Shadow tag seems like a good one for the nightmare version lol.

How can I evolve rotom?

Check the open box that is in the same house you caught the rotom.

Hey there, been playing this and it's been a great game so far. Just have one question, how do I evolve Yamask? Already at lv 49 and have taken 49+ damage in battles and nothing happens.

Make sure you have the latest patch. It's still named 1.2, but it was a quick fix.

That's true, although it is how the original games work. It might be possible to add one to the old lady rest house at least.

Yeah I HATE how they changed the EXP share. They then made it worse in Lets Go and Sword and Shield in that you couldnt turn it off. The use of EXP candy was hardly a improvement to rectify the permenant EXP share.

Yeah, I might not do the exp share. 1.3 would definitely be released sooner without it.

Yeah Chansey, Blissey, and Audino are the top 3 pokemon that give you a lot of exp when you beat it lol. There is Mega Rayquaza, Eternatus Max, and Mega Mewtwo but those are way too powerful and it would be hard to take it down and Chansey, Blissey, and Audino is pretty easy to take down. Just give them Healing wish so it will make it very easy for pokemon that are level 1. You can do either one of them.

Thanks, I might do something like that.
I still have a pretty old school brain, and think grinding on wild mons while speeding up the emulator is normal lol.

Yeah I have been doing that when I would be playing your hack lol. But it would be much faster if you did what I asked you :)
Also, are you still going to be working on the gen 6 exp share then? and have you thought what stats will the johto mega starters have?

 

[sh4dowpik4chu]

I'm in a perdicament, the set i wanna use is screwed on shiinotic for miltank but i cant unlearn flash despite learning it naturally, the move deleter is later on, the other guy i have to toxic gets filtered as it's needed for the previous mon, these gym leaders are kinda insane but i guess i misjudged the kinda hack it was that's my bad.

Can you get the move deleter straight up in the first town if you're gonna naturally have mons that can learn flash early on, i even noticed there's a mechanic where you dont have to learn the HM's themselves so them not being unlearnable is entirely vestigial. (this is all hidden under undying rage that effect spore did not activate in probably 20 times, unless rollout is not a contact move as an oversight but it was in the original so??)

 

[Junjaki_77]

Depending on how Sloo set things up, a Pokemon that can have an item will have it at either a 5% chance or a 50% chance. (Some Pokemon have an available item in both slots.) Most will have the former, so the default odds are 1-in-20.

To increase these odds, I recommend getting a Pokemon with the Compound Eyes Ability. Butterfree, Venonat, and Yanma (and Nincada) can all have this Ability. Place them at the front of your party (fainted or not), and the odds that Pokemon that can hold items will hold an item will increase from 5% to 20% for the 5% slot and 50% to 60% for the 50% slot. 1-in-5 odds are a lot more favorable than 1-in-20, so it'll be a good investment in your time to have that Compound Eyes Pokemon at the ready.

Thanks for the tips. It's clear I'm not paying attention to miss out these game mechanics after all these years. I've found a metal coat from a wild magnemite. Now I feel better that there are something that I can do to increase the odds of finding something I want.

 

[Jay_5]

Is Mudkip just in the grass of route 46, and is there a way to increase the chance of finding it?

 

[cr_7caceres]

Where is Tepig found? Great game btw.

 

[woodsiv]

I have yet to see anyone post their champion team with a meganium so I'll be the first. Super fun game, I will probably start from the beginning for v1.3 :)
Heliolisk was the GOAT of my run, super cool mon

 

[Lucifer]

Can we please get a little improvement on the move sets?
I have a level 36 Breloom that still has Mega Drain and a level 37 Swampert with Water Gun and Mud Shot.

Additionally, can Stantler evolve into Wyrdeer and if so how?

Well, at least that will be fixed in 1.3 lol.
HM moves are now completely deletable like any other move, and TMs are reusable and infinite.

Is Mudkip just in the grass of route 46, and is there a way to increase the chance of finding it?

Just in the grass.
Doesn't help you now, but they can swarm later, after the E4.

Where is Tepig found? Great game btw.

Not in this game. Thanks

I'm actually doing exactly that right now! I'm adding some egg moves to the move relearner in Ecruteak, and have also added a few moves to other mons. The totodile line will now learn Aqua Jet and Liquidation for example.

And Stantler evolves into Wyrdeer at level 30.
