Emerald hack: Pokemon Emerald Final v7.41 (updated January 18th 2023)

Cell2071 said:
OK, so, I applied that patch so I could attack again haha. So, after doing that, next I applied the "Add Gen 3 Ability Additions" patch and got into a wild encounter. Defeated the wild Pokemon, got Exp. Next I applied the "Add Gen VI Exp Share" patch, got into a wild encounter and defeated the wild Pokemon, and got no Exp. So it must be that patch that needs fixing I guess?

EDIT: Forgot to add that I applied the "Remove Gen VI Exp Share" patch, defeated a wild Pokemon, and got Exp again.

Alright, thanks for narrowing it down, I'll make sure to test that specifically when I make the next version! Must have made a typo or something cuz I verified it worked a ways back...

No problem. Hope it's an easy fix. Just FYI, I applied all the other patches I listed previously and I'm still gaining Exp like I should. So yeah, must just be that one I guess
 
Hi, I'm having a great time with the hack, the QoL improvements really make for a much more enjoyable experience. Are any tools you recommend for people (who aren't ROM hack experts) to make their own tweaks? I've seen that people have made tools to allow for easy item editing etc for gen 3 games and I was wondering if any of them would be compatible with Emerald Final.

The main tweak I personally want to make is to change the EXP Share so that it only gives 50% exp to non-participating pokemon. Currently it gives 100% to all and has caused a load of my pokemon to way overlevel before the next gym.

I'm using version 7.38

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it! All the premade tools like HexManiacAdvance and PGE are totally compatible with Final, however the Exp Share is a hex thing you have to do manually
 
I found a bug in the latest version, 7.4. I am using the Deluxe (with shared exp) patch. When Ralts starts evolving at level 20, the game resets back to the title screen. Leveling up by battling wild pokemon, trainers, or using rare candy always gave the same result. I evolved my Grovyle into Sceptile repeating the experiment, but the game didn't crash. Feel free to ask any questions to help clarify the issue. Thank you for your continued work and dedication to this awesome project!

BTW, does the Moemon patch contain the sprites from New Moemon Emerald instead of the older Mega Moemon Emerald?

Someone else has experienced that over on our Discord, it was the Moemon patch having an issue with the Kirlia sprite for them, were you using Moemon as well?

I'm glad you're otherwise enjoying Emerald Final :)

Yes, I was using the Moemon patch. I'll just give Ralts an everstone to keep her from evolving then. Thank you for the quick response!

It's just Kirlia that has the issue, you can evolve it to its final form on a non Moemon ROM and then reapply the Moemon patch if you want

I did more testing and found the Togekiss Moemon sprite also crashes the game.

That's odd, the 4th gen sprites weren't updated. Thanks for the heads up!

Just to clarify, it was at the instance when my Togetic was about to evolve into Togekiss that my game kept crashing. This was with the Moemon patch applied. I assumed this bug was of the same nature as with Kirlia.
 
Is Metal Coat super rare or just for some reason not on Magnemite and Magneton? I have a Venonat that has compound eyes and using Thief on them and I shit you not, I have about 20 magnets. Have not once found a Metal Coat.

The wild hold items have changed, documentation has been included! Magnemite now holds magnets (because honestly what else would have it lol)

How did I miss this?? I thought I read through every thing in that documentation on the changes made. Wasted so much time grinding those stupid floating magnets. Thank you for letting me know nonetheless! Love the Hack

At least you can say it was a POSITIVE and NEGATIVE experience 😂😂😂
Sorry, had to 😝

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it! Feel free to join us on the discord btw, I post tester versions and poll people about new features and such 😊
 
Loving this hack but I just ran into a bug I haven't seen anyone mention yet. Might just be a one-off but I thought I'd bring it to your attention:
Variant & Patches:
- Deluxe Variant
- Without Gen VI EXP Share
- Either Gen 4 Abilities + Hidden or Gen 4 Abillities + Stats, Hidden (I think it's the former, but I can't quite remember, sorry)
- Emerald with NO Dark Caves
- Lore Friendly Evos
- Gen 4 Move Stats With PSS
- Gen IV Movesets
- Poison Update
- New Wilds
Also I'm on a flash cart playing on official hardware

I lost all the TMs and HMs in my bag at some point (thankfully I hadn't saved so I was able to reload my save and they're back). I have narrowed down about when it was—last time I know I had all my TMs was after purchasing Thunderbolt from the Game Corner and using it on my Electrike. Around 30 minutes later I went into the bag again and all of the TMs & HMs were gone. I did redo the steps and my TMs are present and fine, so it was likely a freak incident, but just in case this was something worth noting I thought I would mention it.
That said, so far I've reached Mossdeep and apparently have 40:08 in this file and this is the only noteworthy bug I've encountered beyond the very minor things such as the occasional first letter missing (what I assume is the result of the Decaps) or the in-battle prompts displaying the wrong noun (which I believe you've already noted, and is very far from being a real issue), and I think that's incredible. Definitely the de facto best way to revisit Emerald. Absolutely plan on recommending this hack to friends once I finish it!
PS I'm just so glad Absol is finally semi-viable in Gen 3. Thank you.

That TM glitch has happened a few times, not entirely sure WHY it's happening but I have an idea of what the issue is and am working on a fix! Glad to hear you're enjoying it :)
 
Hello, while I love the intention of the hack, and I enjoyed playing it so far, all early Pokemon only know the struggle move? I downloaded the 7.4 legacy rom to keep things as original as could be. But I don't seem to remember this being in the original game? Every Pokemon from the start to gym 2 only or rarely use anything else then Struggle. Also a lot of the lower mon's I catch don't seem to have any basic attack moves? Like my lvl12 Houndour only knows a defense lowering move? Thanks for any help!
