Emerald hack: Pokémon Team Rocket Edition: Dragonsden Version - Kanto/Sevii/Johto | Next release: DLC (season 4)

Hey everyone! I'm a little confused about EVs. I don't really get it how it works. I just unlocked the training in deep base before going to challenge the League in Kanto. For example I have a lvl 60 Crobat with the following stats:
- HP 190
- Attack 146
- Defense 124 (which is blue)
- Sp. Attack 115 (which is red)
- Sp. Defense 108
- Speed 191
Can anyone explain it to me please?

EV are a hidden value, so you don't see them directly. When your pokemon level up, he gains somes stats (+1 Att, +3 Speed, etc..)
EV influence the amount of stats gained when you level up. The ratio is 4EV = +1 in the corresponding stat.
For example :
- without EV, your pokemon gains +2 att when he level up
- with 4EV in Att, your pokemon will gains +3 att on this level up.

You can have a maximum of 510 EV spread on every stat but it's more useful to specialised them.
There's also a limit of 252 EV per stats.

You gain EV when you win a fight, so a pokemon just caught doesn't have EV , but if you already fought with your pokemon, it's likely that he already had EV, maybe he's full and can't gain EV anymore.

The red and Blue number are related to the nature of your pokemon :
- Red : this stat gains 10% more when level up
- Blue : this stats gains 10% less when level up

Thanks a lot mate!
 
Note: Firstly done in Spanish, has been translated by a small work team and me (Dragonsden). "Fire Red: Rocket Edition" created by Colonelsalt is a different game.

The main goals of this ROM hack are:

  1. Covering the entire timeline from FireRed/LeafGreen to Gold/Silver (+3 years), experienced from the perspective of Team Rocket.
  2. Pushing the limits of what's considered canon.
  3. To fully develop and include the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and the Sevii Islands.

What's in the current download? Game projection for the coming months:

The current download includes the content of Kanto, Sevii and Johto arc. That's season 1, 2 and 3 of this game.

Today, there are five seasons in Spanish (DLC and Hoenn). So, next english release is the 'DLC arc'.
Main content of this DLC is living the transition from FR/LG events to HG/SS events (lavender radio tower, goldenrod-saffron railways, cinnabar eruption...) before entering Hoenn.

I'll try to do this release before 2025 ends.

Hope you enjoy Johto as Rocket Admin!

So your zubat can evolve into
Spoiler:
, but is it only for the starter zubat or is it available for all zubat ?
 
What is the best place to level at around lv20? I keep being under leveled every time I get to another boss fight. :/ I started playing this hack just yesterday.
Try battling every trainer available, and doing all sode quests, that helps a lot, specially when you're around levels 40~50, there's a very difficult battle when around those levels

Which part of the game are you at, specifically?

I don't deny that there's a difficulty spike in the early-midgame when it comes to boss and mini-boss trainers.
 
I downloaded the patched game, but empheris isn't working… anyone else have this issue or know the solution?? This is the best rom hack I've ever played and am really looking forward to Johto! Any help would be appreciated

Try downloading the .ups file from Dragonsden's YouTube link, and patching yourself, the patched game you downloaded is probably an old version, where the ephemeris mode didn't work

Sorry I wasn't clear, this is the process I followed. Downloaded the dragons den zip, patched trash man emerald with the dragons den ups and then opened that patched rom in delta.
 
Then It's strange that it's not working, I tested it on MyBoy and it worked just fine

I actually started the game all over, but still tested the ephemeris mode, to check of it was working
Yeah really strange. It's gotta be something with the file because it's the same thing on every gba emulator I try.

I mean I could try starting all over but I'm a little afraid of losing my save file and doing all of that if the file isn't correct and I can't continue to Johto. Thanks for replying I'll keep trying to figure it out
 
Where do I get an amulet coin, I've used emepheris to start I johto, but I can't buy the amulet coin in deep rocket base anymore and I can't battle the aid anymore, so where do I get it?
 
This game is incredibly hard. I'm not even sure how I"m supposed to be able to handle this. Opponents don't even seem to follow normal rules, like Red having his charizard use blast burn every single turn. When I barely scraped by against Red just to have Lance come battle me again with a level 70 team including legends... I would have thought it was hilarious if I hadn't worked so hard to get here.
 
Just started from the start of Kanto and have played through that, now completed Sevii Islands but am wondering how to start the next Johto part as Giovanni or Archer arent prompting me to do anything?
