Description:
Pokemon Sigma Emerald is a hack originally created by Tlachtli. It aims to be a game resembling a 3rd Gen remake de-make of the original Emerald, with an unchanged storyline and upgraded mechanics. After a hiatus from mid-2014 to 2015, the development of Sigma Emerald was handed over to me. This topic contains my continuation of Sigma Emerald, which picks up off Tlachtli’s last release (Alpha 3).

– Once all of the above is done, a tileset, sprite, and battle background overhaul (??)
Bugs/notes:
– Due to how the mechanics work behind Brick Break, Scrappy Pokemon that use it will still not damage Ghosts. However, it will still break screens (ie. Light Screen and Reflect)
– The animation for Draining Kiss may sometimes delay gameplay when used (possibly emulator dependent)
– The new moves don’t show animations in Contests due to a limiter somewhere in the ROM
– New moves cannot be bred onto Pokemon (yet???)
