Description:

Formerly known as Pokemon Emerald 2. Since release, though, the game’s been almost completely overhauled from start to finish : )

What happens when you take (almost) every move and ability from gen 1 to 7, add some new ones to the mix, and then cram them into just 386 Pokémon?
You get a level of meta diversity the main games could only dream of. Over half the abilities are signature abilities, and moves are no different! You can catch all your favourites here, and you’ll find them stronger and more defined than ever before.

On top of that, I’ve rebalanced and re-teamed the trainers and gym leaders, then freshened up every route in Hoenn and added five new ones. And I love the puzzles: they’re optional, fair, and absolutely devilish.

On with the show!
Starring:
Dizzy Egg’s/Chacha Dinosaur’s emerald battle engine: most moves, many items, and all types, phys/spec split, abilities, capture xp, and all abilities (especially the cool ones) up to generation 7 are in the game
The palette has been made more vibrant All routes have been remodeled, some islands have been added in the sea, victory road is completely new and exciting, and 5 new (fully optional) routes have been added: a canyon, a haunted house, an extension to route 119’s river, a snowy mountain, and a mine.
So many quality of life changes!
Fly to routes
Access Pokémarts downstairs in all Pokémon Centres
Use Nature Power as a replacement for all of Strength, Rock Smash, Cut, Surf, Waterfall, and Dive, or just use the old HMs as usual
Evolve your team into all their later generation evolutions
Evolve trade evos that require items by just levelling them up while holding that item, and evolve all other trade evos at lv36 (or evolve gengar by happiness at night)
Reuse tms and move tutors as much as you want
Shiny rate doubled to match later generations
Run indoors
Delete all HMs
Use the updated repel system,
Access all the secret base items,
A few storyline rewrites (the Magma Base is now an enjoyable little sneaking mission where you have to avoid getting seen. )
An ability switcher in Mauville
An egg hatcher in verdanturf
An IV checker and perfecter in the Battle Frontier (with the option to give you 0 base speed of course)
Optional patch with cheesy joke dex entries
Optional patch with 20 more type changes
And even more QOL improvements!

The Hoenn dex mode has been fully reordered to roughly match the order in which mons can be obtained!
New typings!
Banette is ghost/normal,
Parasect is ghost/grass,
Marowak is Ground/Ghost
Masquerain is water/bug,
Celebi is grass/fairy,
Probopass is rock/elec
And an optional patch with 20 more, as per some requests
New Learnsets
New abilities

417 pokémon are available, all of which have been tinkered, polished, dusted off and enhanced. All of them are really cool to use, and I’ve tried them all. Highlights include:
Disguise Sudowoodo complete with a form change
Shields Down Golem complete with a form change
Ghost/Grass horror tank Parasect with 140 sDef, spore and nightmare
Spinda with Dancer and every “Dance” move in the game
Grass/Fight Grovyle and Sceptile with Defiant, Forest Curse, Mat Block, Low Sweep, and Sacred Sword
Corsola lowers Sp.Def but sharply raises Def when hit by Physical moves, and lowers Def but sharply raises Sp.Def when hit by Special moves. Or gets regenerator
Levitate Electrode as the only thing that learns Electro Ball
Porygon/Porygon2 that changes from one to the other every level
Ariados with a learnset based round toxic thread (now badly poisons and halves speed), baneful bunker, venom drench, and venoshock and access to electroweb and psychic fangs
Beedrill with Merciless and 40 (x2) base power Twineedle with 40% chance to poison each hit.
Innards Out Poliwag line (and drizzle for politoed of course)
Victory Star Starmie with Laser Focus and Prismatic Laser
Soul-Heart Luvdisc with huge defensive power
Pixilate/intimidate Snubbull (available on route 101)
Reckless Tauros with Head Charge
Tentacool line with Tangling Hair or water bubble
Moody Sunkern with seed bomb by lv19, gets Weather Ball, Synthesis and Solarbeam, and evolves into Drought Sunflora.
Hoppip line without offensive moves til it’s Jumpluff but with stunning support ones all along, and also symbiosis then Prankster (or Fluffy)
Queenly Majesty Nidoqueen and King’s Shield Nidoking, or if you don’t like that you can have them with Poison Touch
not to mention Flame Body now offering Typhlosion a 30% chance for its own contact moves to cause burns.
Schooling Exeggcute lmao
Feraligatr with bite moves causing critical hits every time
Pidgeotto has Delta Stream or No Guard
Girafarig turns every battle it’s involved in into an Inverse battle.
Lunatone sets Gravity on switching in,
And more. Loads more!
New difficulty curve! All wild encounters are at roughly the level your team should be at, so switching Pokémon in and out is really easy and rewarding. XP yields are slightly lower early on to compensate for this, which means Nuzlockes are hopefully relatively more challenging than usual.
New Trainer fights for many trainers (and all the important characters) especially later in the game. Expect to get danced over by Tate & Liza, sharked by Archie, rused by Sidney, and completely rinsed by Wallace, whose battle takes place in semi-permanent rain

New items!
New battle engine, moves, and abilities!

What’s this Devon scope and where do I get it??
It’s given to you on a bridge on route 120.

What’s going on with this item ball in a tricky puzzle location!?
Check “Secret Stuff”

Why isn’t Grovyle a dragon!?
I mean while it’d make it “better” in the sense that it’ll be stronger, it is also weird as hell. if you have any type change requests please use pge, I gave you the .ini file to make it work

Team Recommendations:
If your team seems samey, flesh it out with one or two of these for some variety:

Baton Passer (Aipom, mawile, Ledian, Furret, Ninjask, plusle/minun) or Stat boost guy (Illumise, Volbeat, Omanyte, Clefable, Shedinja, Claydol)
Tank (Shroomish, Sudowoodo, Parasect, pain splitters like misdreavus, or anything with a huge defense stat like Torkoal or Chimecho)
Fast High Attack Thing just to beat wild mons easily (dodrio, fearow, mankey, electrike, vulpix)
Terrain/Weather User (Sandshrew, Larvitar, Swinub, Politoed/Pelipper, Sunflora/Torkoal, Chinchou/ Magneton, Chikorita, Stantler, Swablu) This game really rewards you for using weather, not just for rain and sun but for Hail and Sand too. Hail now boosts ice type defense by 1.5x.
Any aromatherapy user. There’s too many things with access to tm05 Aromatherapy to list, but also stuff with Milk drink or Softboiled (miltank, cacturne, Chansey) is really cool.

Really fun team: Aipom, Geodude, Pikachu, Sunkern, Illumise, Nidoqueen
You could also pick all 3 Pokémon with Dancer (grumpig, Spinda, Ludicolo)

Fun monotype runs:
Grass (parasect, treecko, sunkern, hoppip, Roselia, shroomish, Lileep, Cacnea, )
Normal (proygon granbull pidgeot togepi ratatta zigzagoon furret)
Psychic (grumpig girafarig lunatone claydol illumise and hypno)
Electric (chinchou core, Mareep, Pikachu, Static in general)
Ice (hail team with Swinub and Seel core)
Bug (Shuckle!! Altering cave mon, Spinarak, Ledyba, beedrill)
Poison (Nidorina core. Poison types now take 25% less damage from poisoned foes too, so toxic spikes in a poison monotype is great)

Known Bugs:
-latios roams forever
-Breeding is not updated to new mechanics. Everstone nature passing still works, and there is an IV perfecter and an ability switcher, but no destiny knot stuff
-Battle Pyramid currently unavailable

Lengthy fixes
-Contests are removed
-some moves have the same animations as others

Double edged sword of using an incredible yet complex battle engine:
-fan favourite: capture exp doesn’t trigger evolution
-Battle text boxes are inaccurate e.g. there is no message for Misty Terrain blocking sleep, playing on battle style Shift sometimes announces all pokémon as if they’re owned by the wrong people when sent out, defog and charge say the move name as their stat change.
-acid spray causes some of my favourite visual bugs in double battles
-Some status applying features (like synchronise or toxic orb) go through some immunities (fixed partially relative to the base engine)
-Steven appears as the player sprite for like 2 seconds when fighting Maxie in Mossdeep Space Centre
