Emerald hack: Pokémon Theta Emerald

[LCCoolJ95]

Pokémon Theta Emerald
Hack of: Pokémon Emerald (US)
Made by: LCCoolJ95

[FONT=&quot]This is a project that I have been working on for almost a year, and now I can finally say that this game is ready for a release. This is completely different from the regular Emerald game you are used to. However, it is different, in a very fun and cool way :)[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

Features:[/FONT]

• [FONT=&quot]650 Pokémon:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] This may not be the first Emerald sideshow game to have more Pokémon than just 386, but, as of May 2015, this is the Emerald sideshow game with the most Pokémon to catch. Not only that, but every single one of them is catchable, either through an event, or in the wild. Not only that, but the Trainers, Gym Leaders, Evil Teams, Elite Four, and Champion have new Pokémon as well.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]100+ new moves:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] In order to compensate with the new Pokémon, there has been quite a few new moves added to game to add to everyone's movesets. Some with new animations, and some with new effects.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Physical/Special Split:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] To make the game more current, a proper Physical/Special Split has been implemented to the game, including icons to denote each move.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]"Have Specific Pokémon" Events:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] In order to encounter certain Pokémon, or more specifically, legendary Pokémon, you must have one to three Pokémon in your party in order for the event to work.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Fairy-type:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Yes, the Fairy-type that has been shown in Pokémon X & Y, has been added to the game.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Updated Stats:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Also, Pokémon that got their stats updated in X & Y now have them updated in this game.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]New Evolution Methods:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Pokémon that evolved through trade have a different means of evolving. Not only that, but because of the new Pokémon, completely new evolution methods have been added, like Map Name Evolution, Move Evolution, etc. That, and three new evolution items have been added. The Dawn Stone and Dusk Stone from Diamond and Pearl, and the Link Cable from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Running Shoes Update:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Like the newer generation games, you can use the running shoes to run inside of buildings.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Reusable TMs:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Introduced in Pokémon Black & White, TMs can be used as many times as you like.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Egg Hatching Level:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] The levels of eggs that hatch are now at Level 1, just like in the newer games.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Catch EXP:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] A mechanic introduced in X & Y, now when you capture a Pokémon, your Pokémon will gain EXP.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]De-capitalization:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] NO MORE OF THIS. Maybe a few spots, but I'll fix them as time goes on.[/FONT]

Bugs/Notes:

[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

• [FONT=&quot]For some reason, if you watch a TV that's on, there might be a chance that it will cause the game to have a text string that repeats forever, which makes the game unplayable, unless you reset the game. So, be careful with that.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Because of my very limited knowledge with adding new abilities, new Pokémon might not have the proper abilities, but instead have different abilities. (i.e. Reshiram having Flash Fire, Arceus having Color Change, etc.)[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]Even though this game has new Pokémo[FONT=&quot]n, form[FONT=&quot]s are not includ[FONT=&quot]e[FONT=&quot]d since they are impossible for[FONT=&quot] the moment. I honestly feel that this is better anyways.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Move tutors for the new Pokémon have not been done. I will probably update this to have more unique moves to learn (i.e. Dragon Pulse, Seed Bomb, etc.)[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Egg moves have not been updated. This, I will think about looking into.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]If you level up from EXP gained from catching a new Pokémon, when you go to its Pokédex entry, the entry will look glitched. It doesn't freeze the game, you can just press A or B to get out of it.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Once you beat the game, and get to the Hall of Fame part, some of the new Pokémon will show up as different Pokémon. That, and they don't show up at the end of the game within the credits. This might be because of a limiter somewhere in the game.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Some moves don't have the proper animation or effect, since it has not been made yet, or is in progress.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]For some reason, Nincada's evolution does not work. But, you can catch Shedinja separately.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]When [FONT=&quot]you do th[FONT=&quot]e fa[FONT=&quot]vor for Wattson, be sure that you have the Acro Bike on you. You'll see why ;)[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]Ca[FONT=&quot]stform[FONT=&quot]'s forms "do not exist[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot],[/FONT]" meaning th[FONT=&quot]at Castform change[FONT=&quot]s from it[FONT=&quot]s original sprite to pitch black.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT] But, the typing [FONT=&quot]still [FONT=&quot]e[FONT=&quot]xi[FONT=&quot]s[FONT=&quot]ts, so its form[FONT=&quot]s are "still there."[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

This game is pretty much complete. If there are any problems, you can post them below. Also, if you want to know where a certain Pokémon is, or how it evolves, there is a document below, putting those things together. Just to let you know, this is a .UPS Patch. You must use the NUPS Patcher supplied with the game to patch it, to a US copy of Pokémon Emerald.

Have fun! ;)

Does Giratina,Shaymin,Kyurem etc. can change forme in this game?

 

[curiters]

AWESOME!!!

 

[unIQuE-_-SK]

So your hard work and time investment finaly paid off, this looks gorgeous, just a small question, did you also update frontier brains with new moves/pkmn/PSS ?

 

[Joexv]

Awesome to see it finally released! But in regards to the name.... You sure its a good idea to use a copyrighted name?

 

[blue]

Great to finally see the project complete!

It does not, and I prefer it that way.

Sorry, but they have not been done.

Awesome to see it finally released! But in regards to the name.... You sure its a good idea to use a copyrighted name?

You're thinking of Delta Emerald, a name that Nintendo took the rights of.

Oh it was Delta, my bad. Ignore me. I dont know anything.:)

 

[Percy]

So, Theta Emerald finally sees sunlight! Nice work so far! And, I saw the credits part, thanks for that, I suppose :D
Anyway, Chaos' EXP gain hack is no ASM, its just a battle script.

 

[Renton Thurston]

I have been waiting for an emerald remake like this for the longest time, thank you. I am so glad I didn't log off lol, I'll be sure to fill in any bug reports while I playthrough this :)

 

[zuu55]

Wow! Nice job!
The Battle Frontier use Physical/Special Split?
Legendary pokémon are allowed?
Sorry, i saw it now xD

Can we buy berries and items (like lucky egg, etc)?

 

[noidman123]

I love Emerald hacks, and this one seems awesome. Just one question though, not really important, but with the added legendaries, does it play the wild pokemon encounter theme? Or does it at least play the Gen 1-2 legendary themes? I only ask cause I played Blaze Black 2 (Or Volt White 2, whichever was the hack for White 2) and I lol'ed when I got into a battle with Dialga then Palkia and it played the wild pokemon theme. Again it's not a big deal either way, awesome hack

Everything seems good however you might want to consider moving the elemental moves to level 6 or 7 on the starters otherwise your first Rival battle is somewhat ridiculous without absurd grinding and RNG.

Haven't started playing yet, but is the difficulty increased? Might've missed it in the OP so sorry if I have. And what level do they learn the elemental moves?

 

[unIQuE-_-SK]

Not sure if bug or intention, but the gift riolu has speed boost ability.

Spoiler:

 

[jalil1m]

When a pokemon loves up off screen its there shiny spirte.Just a minor bug its not gamebreaking or anything.

 

[zuu55]

Not sure if bug or intention, but the gift riolu has speed boost ability.

Really? xD
My Riolu has inner focus

 

[jalil1m]

Brawly the Dewford gym leader has a riolu with speed boost,so that might be intentional

 

[Draco Meteora]

Lol nice work, could you change the sprites and music to a DS style ?

 

[noidman123]

Lol nice work, could you change the sprites and music to a DS style ?

The music would be difficult I'm sure. I'd like it, even only if for the legendaries. The only rom I've played with DS music was Emerald Omega. It only had The D/P/Pt Gym theme, HG/SS Red/Lance theme for Wallace and a few others.

The sprites I'm sure are all from B/W or at least the DS games
