Description:
Hello, Welcome back to Ducumon.com, and I’m Pokemoner. We will preview Pokemon JKR by kakarrot! It’s a GBA Hack ROM and based on Pokemon Emerald. It’s still the alpha version…

Gone are those days of misdeeds being the shadow of the leader.
Over time, he was also not surprised by the failed goal of his organization.
At first, a thirst for revenge took hold of him, but he still couldn’t find answers to his questions; to the point that revenge turned into uncertainty.

Dark has been behind bars for so long that he has found an escape from reality in wisdom.
But after witnessing a Pokémon Tournament, due to his good behavior, he finds a pattern that repeats itself continuously … Why is he only noticing it?
From that moment on, Oscuro starts a plan: to get his questions answered at any price, developing a project that will test even your very reality …

WHAT IS POKéMON JKR ABOUT?
The project centers on an apparent reboot of Pokémon Emerald, with a drastic twist turning it into a totally original story.

With this, it is intended to give greater prominence to the different secondary characters of the franchise from the first generation to the third, intertwining them with those Internet theories in which we have grown up, forming a cocktail of nostalgia and fun.

CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THINGS
We are used to a particular battle engine. It evolves, adopting different mechanics in each generation to bring freshness to the franchise.

Personally, I think the default engine isn’t bad, but it’s a good idea to give it a facelift.
Now all the movements have been carefully reviewed to offer a different experience.
For example, Bubble is as important as Surf, since as the Pokémon gains experience, this attack becomes stronger; among other novelties.

A Magikarp, apparently weak Pokémon, using Tackle and knocking out Pikachu.
In addition, we will see mechanics of all kinds: Gameplay being a Pokémon, puzzles … in conjunction with the development of the plot.

THE ENVIRONMENT FACTOR
Many hacks give the feeling of becoming a fangame only to press (A) all the time. That leads to disinterest in her.

In this sense, the setting is a key factor.
Hoenn has been redesigned from the ground up to give a new region feel. The tiles have been changed but keeping in mind the appearance of the original tiles .

The sound section was not going to be less. Music is very important to me and one of the keys to getting into the plot. An exhaustive selection has been made of themes from the franchise from some generations and even from other games, which will be played in a more dynamic way.

FAQ:
– Do you have mega, regional forms, Pokemon from 4th to 8th gen?
No. It maintains the essence until the third generation, although some Pokémon will intervene in the plot indirectly; either with illustrations or names.

– Why Brendan as the main character? And May / Aura?
The plot is centered on Brendan as the protagonist, but it will have a strong female presence in addition to May / Aura having a cameo.

– Will the battle engine be updated?
I focus as I exposed to an improvement of the original on my own. Do not expect physical/special division, sharing experience of later generations … etc.

– What feelings will this hack give me?
The hack is slowly developing the plot. This means that, for example, it has a long intro and you don’t take control of the character until later. There is enough cinematics to explain all the points well.

This game is a GBA ROM. It’s Beta. Alpha in Spanish!
