Pokemon Emerald romhack

Primary LanguageC

Pokémon Tourmaline

This is a romhack of Pokémon Emerald, based off the disassembly by pret et al.

What's the idea here?

  • All trainer battles are double battles! To accomodate this, you also get a second starter when you
  • Better movesets, wider encounters, the physical/special split, infinite use TMs -- many of the quality of life improvements from later games are here.

Minor Details

  • The PC from the start contains one Master Ball. Use it well.
  • Move tutors are now infinite use.
  • Eggs hatch much faster, and some tutor moves are now egg moves. Egg moves can also be inherited by both parents: hurray, chain breeding!
  • The capslock fetish from the original game is gone.
  • Synchronise now always takes effect outside of battle.
  • Roserade is now a sun stone evolution. Espeon and Umbreon are also stone evolutions. Trade evolutions have been simplified.
  • Mirage Island actually shows up.
  • Berry trees are now to gen 7 standards.
  • Fishing no longer randomly fails to catch a fish.
  • Friendship raises faster.
  • Mystic Ticket is available.

Short Term Goals

  • Make available the events for Deoxys, the other Eon, and Mew.
  • Design events for the legendary birds and beasts.

Longer Term Goals

  • Fairy type.
  • More revamped sprites.
  • Remove the entire concept of HMs.
  • Modernise experience and rebalance levels.
  • Simplify map design.
