Description:
Hello, Welcome back to Pokemoner.com, and I’m Pokemoner. Today, we will play Pokemon Conversion Emerald by Ravendeth and his wife. It’s a GBA Hack ROM and based on Pokemon Emerald.

It’s released a long time and it’s a QoL hack ROM, Pokemon is balanced, type sanity, Day Night System, Special Evolution and more.. It’s beta but it’s playable in English. And now, Let’s play!

This hack was created over the course of one month by Ravendeth and Taelle, to prepare for a friend who was going to go through head surgery and would have nothing to do sitting around. Emerald version was chosen for its replayability features.

= PROJECT GOALS =
Make EVERY POKEMON balanced and OU viable: either through base stat changes or Type changes.
Make strong pokemon more readily available: by boosting weaker moves and making important items more accessible.
Quality of Life changes: making annoying texts shorter, TMs reusable, clearer and concise descriptions.
All 386 Pokemon catchable (75% done): the goal is to have 6 pokemon catchable in each area, to increase variety and teambuilding choices.
Type Sanity: Redundant types diversified. No more rat/bird/fishpocalypsemon. Many humanoid pokemon have been changed into Fairy types rather than the animal-based Normal type. Less psuedodragons and more Dragon types.

= UNLABELED FEATURES =
Day/Night System: Caves also use natural illumination to make your nature hike and evolutions more memorable.
Type Rebalancing: Ice type resists Normal and Flying attacks. Fairy type is weak to Bug attacks.
Improved Breeding: Any two pokemon can breed, like in many other monster games. Egg hatch times halved.
System Time: The Gamecube at your house can be used freely to change the system time.
Shiny Pokemon: Shiny rate is 0.5% (one in 200), making them uncommon instead of impossible to find during a casual playthrough. Many pokemon have new shiny colors.
Special Evolution: Pokemon who have trade or other special evolution methods can now also evolve through friendship.
Catch Rates: Pokemon have a flat 10% added to their catch rates. Similar feel, helps with sableye and legendary PTSD.
Surfing/Fishing: Surf encounter rates reduced. Fishing now finds non-magikarp and 1 new pokemon for each rod tier.
HM sanity: Pokemon with wings can use Fly, pokemon with claws can use Cut, etc.
Egg Move sanity: Many pokemon have improved learnsets with important moves such as Will-o-Wisp, Dragon Dance, Heal Bell, and Baton Pass.
Run anywhere: Able to use running shoes indoors.

= KNOWN ISSUES =
Some pokedex entries are missing, seems to be a vanilla emerald bug? This will get filled in for the final version.
Old legendaries and sea caves+victory road not yet finished.
Brandon rides a missingno in the intro (compressed graphics corruption). Not sure how to fix this.
Ocean Route 124 (Relic Reef) is filled with Pupitar (L1-50). Not sure how to fix this, seems to be a bug caused by the map editor.
The important unlabeled features should have NPCs or signs to explain them in the final release version.
Some attack descriptions don’t fit (bad linebreaks) due to the rushed nature of development.

Changelog:
Beta v176: Still only up to Lilycove. Ghost Rapidash, and more bugfixes. But you can use the Walkthrough Cheat code and continue to play the game!

This game is a GBA Hack ROM. It’s Beta but it’s playable in English. I will add this game to Completed Category!
