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

Why does Cerulean City have the music from Celadon City? Feels weird to me, especially because the buildings have the music from Cerulean City.

Does Dragon Rage do something different in this game or is it glitched because it defintely doesn't only do 40 damage. It says it does 70 base attack so is that actually just a 70 base physical move or is it 70 HP?

Not for the moment, and not in near future, because I have a lot of plans to expand the history, and doing a female character would demand tons of time because of all the sprites, backsprites and minis for 6 different rocket ranks.

 

[cyberpeach]

aww thats a shame but i get it,im glad you havent completely written of the possibility looking forward to it to play <3

上面已经提到了这一点，但假设你使用的是PC，你大概需要做4件事。（我不熟悉移动设备，但情况类似；请查看教程了解每种设备的详细信息）。

1.) 火箭队版（以下简称 TRE）.ups 补丁文件：您可以从 Dragonsden 的 YouTube 频道预告片视频中获取，他之前在帖子中提供了该视频的链接（链接也应该在本文开头）。下载完成后，使用 WINRAR 或 7ZIP 等程序（或类似移动设备的程序）解压下载的文件，找到 .ups 文件。（如果您看不到文件扩展名，请查找适合您设备的教程，了解如何显示文件扩展名。）

2.) 你需要一份《宝可梦绿宝石》的 ROM。Dragonsden 在他上面的帖子里提到了具体的 ROM。你需要自己去下载。（谷歌，大多数情况下都会帮忙。）这步我能提供的帮助就这么多了。

3.) 获得 Pokemon Emerald ROM 和 TRE UPS 补丁后，请访问 Dragonsden 上述帖子中提到的网站。将每个文件放在该页面的相应部分，并在出现提示时下载新文件。这将是 TRE 游戏。

4.) 你需要一个 GBA 模拟器来玩这个游戏。对于 PC 来说，通常推荐使用 mGBA 模拟器。（其他模拟器要么过时，要么太简单，无法运行/不推荐。）再次，谷歌搜索"mGBA 模拟器"来找到它。（同样，我不确定每种移动设备都推荐哪个 GBA 模拟器，但你大概可以通过谷歌找到你所使用的设备的模拟器。Thank you for your help. Now it's working properly. QWQ

I just remembered the Johto update and can't wait to dig into it!
I chose my original six team in Ephemeral Johto, and greatly appreciate that majority of the tools to retrain them back to Sevii endgame status are provided.
A quick question- is there a Move Relearner at the start of Ephemeral Johto?

Iirc, it's somewhere in the Celadon Rocket Base

There is a private lounge for executives ,you can find a move relearner in that place it's in the deep base

It's not a move tutor, it's the egg move tutor.

There's one in SEVII, in Two Island. The other one is on Johto in the same city as Kurt (the bug-type leader). But the more accessible is the one in SEVII.

Thanks for the answer, y'all! The TinyMushroom salesman at the start of Johto was a great lifesaver in helping me reclaim my Sevii team.
I just stepped foot in Johto's HQ - will I be able to change my appearance at this point, or will it come further on?

It's possible; I don't remember when exactly this happens, but when you get your own office, there'll be a wardrobe or something similar in your office.

If I recall correctly, you get your office after the Johto arc, somebody correct if I'm wrong.

And yeah, the tiny mushroom vendor is really great!

yeah you are right you will get your office after the johto arc completes

This is one of the best romhacks I've ever played, maybe even THE best! I'm so excited for English DLC and Hoenn expansions :)

@-Dragonsden- do you have a Patreon or something?

Hello! What generation is the game based on? Is it Gen 6? Gen 7? I need to know so I can check which moves my Pokémon can learn—whether by level-up, TM, or by the egg move tutor—to build up teams. Also, I want to check if Hidden Power is treated like in Gen 3, where it could be either Special or Physical.

• Physical/Special split system from 4th gen.
• Replaceable HMs and unlimited TMs.
• Pokémon, moves, and items up to 8th gen (some from 9th).

Thanks! I hadn't checked the start of the thread in months 😂😂 Can't believe the answer was there the whole time! Thanks again!

Hello guys,
So i've just finished the whole adventure (so far) of Kanto, Sevii and Johto and first I wanted to thank you Dragonsden for this amazing romhack.
I tend to like the story's focused romhack and I've really enjoyed this one !
In the past i've played the ColonelSalt's version and even if some ideas where used again (like the whole "team rocket is actually helping the region in the shadows" plot) , this concept was nicelly pushed far enough to give more substance to the whole pokemon and making a true story.
As a personal note, I did prefer the Kanto arc, but by only a tiny margin as the Johto arc was using some fresh ideas like the concept of deep bond pokemon.
I think it's also a great idea to use the early version of pokemon who didn't make the finish line in the official game.
On the other side, i'm quite concerned about the power creep with the introduction of always more powerful pokemon, we'll see what's coming in the next arc..

About my gameplay, here's which pokemon I choose and when I choose them.
Generally speaking I tend to choose my pokemon by asking the question " if I really was in this world, which pokemon would I like to have ? ", so I mostly choose pokemon based on the looks, general style and utility they have in the team.
I tend to prefer to level one pokemon at a time. The downside is that they're generally overleveled, but as I tend to focused on the story and not on the battle, it's okay to me.
Some people might want to keep the surprise, so i'm using the spoiler tag :

Spoiler: the team

Zubat
Obviously the starter. I didn't really liked him at first but i kept using him anyway because i knew there was a "surprise" with this pokemon.
And i was right because at the end, Crobatbond was a massive asset of the team.
I used him with Lifeorb and the moves Gunk shot, Dual wingbeat, Leech life, Hypnosis.
Sometimes hypnosis was great to help me set up the other members and sometimes you just need to avenge the fallen comrade and just nuke thing with Gunkshot. And leech life was great to get back the life taken by the life Orb.

Gyarados
My first real member of the team with EV optimisation.
With the HA Moxie, this thing is a Beast !
The set is easy, Aquatail, Earthquake, Strengh, Dragon dance
Once it started rolling it's almost unstoppable.
Item wise, I used red scale which I stole from a trainer (I think It was Blue but I'm not sure)

Scizor
If I had to keep only one MVP, it would be him.
Since we have only one Link stone during the most part of the Kanto arc, I decided that he would be my candidate.
I hesitated with Weavile over him but in the end the Sword dance + (technician and STAB) bullet punch, the amazing attack stats even If learned later that mine had only 4 IV) and the Metal coat made him superior in my Eyes. Leech life was great to heal after taking a hit during my sword dance turn and Wing attack / Dual wingbeat was a good coverage option to use with technician.

Those three were the core of team, but I olso used :

Nidoking
I needed a Special Attacker and i also really liked the design of this pokemon. The lifeloss effect of the Life Orb being negated by Sheer Force justified in my eyes the use of this pokemon as a special sweeper. I went wis the classic BoltBeam, earth power and Sludge Bomb.

Houndoom
I wasn't using a mega stone, so I tried Houndoom as a special sweeper too. So he sort of replaced Nidoking in the roster. Nidoking has a better movepool but Houndoom is okay too, plus he can set up using NastyPlot, which is really great.

Porygon3
I tried this one but was not really convinced
I really like Porygon, thinking that he's cool, but as I tried to use him as a special sweeper, I thought that he was in the same line as Nidoking and Houdoom, so I was not really convinced.
Normal / Ghost is a really great typing and I like it a lot, but I think i would prefer it on a more bulky pokemon (which is the reason why I didn't use Hisuian Zoroark).

Togekiss
I tried to use him as flying type, replacing Crobat and abusing the Serene grace / Air slash / Body Slam (wanting thunder wave) but he was not as impactful as the other so even if I level him up to 100, I would not take him again if I had to restart over.

Lastly, a special mention to Butterfree
Used as a second pokemon at the start, before Gyarados, he was the stealer of the team and helped me capture a lot of pokemon by using CompoungEyes / SleepPowder
He was great !

I missed someone who can set up StealthRock or Spikes as Sturdy was really a nightmare to me, and by the end of the joght arc, some Multiscales pokemon put me in difficulty.
I'm debating over using pokemon like Steelix or Cloyster since the Stealth rock TM can not be obtained at the moment in these arcs.

So here's my 2 cents, thanks again for this great adventure, I was enjoying it in the past 3 months, and now i'm waiting for the next steps of the story !

 

[Lunasmeow]

Eevee apprears in the wild at Bill's Garden. If you can no longer go there, there's a Scientist at Cinnabar Lab that will ask you to retrieve some stolen Eevees. He's the guy right across the entrance. After talking to him, go to the Underground Path that connects Cerulean with Vermillion. There's a guy selling the stolen Eevees there. After defeating him, go back to the Lab and talk to the Scientist again; he will reward you with 5 Eevees.

Is there seriously no other way to get Eevee? I long ago got past Bill's Garden, and didn't see a single Eevee while there. There are more evolutions for Eevee than five, and the stupid rule about not being able to breed our own pokemon means we can't get more? This is crap... Team Rocket owns the fucking pokemon breeding zone but members can't use it? It's backwards as hell. Members should get benefits not punishments. At least from Team Rocket! We're already punished enough by the local government! So what, the only way is to restart the whole damn game? That's just shit!

Not your fault obviously, I'm just venting frustration, but this is just... fucking hell, talk about idiotic.

In hopes of saving other people from this problem, here's a list of every Pokemon I've found in Bill's Garden - adding Eevee to that list:

Smoochum
Mareep
Magby
Elekid
Tyrogue
Togepi
Teddiursa
Eevee
Larvitar
Horsea
Omanyte
Kabuto
Nidoran (Male)

Edit: I found a way back in!

If you hit R+Start you can open an in-game cheat menu!

You go under "Flags" then to Collision, and press a, then back out. Collision will be turned off. If you go back to Bill's house, you still can't enter... from the front! The front and ONLY the front, causes the message to appear. Walk through the walls and approach the door from the SIDE and you can go in! Then turn collision back on, and bam, you can go catch to your heart's delight!
