Description:
Hello, Welcome back to Ducumon Website and I’m Pokemoner. Today, we will play Pokemon Wally Quest by Sofie. It’s a new GBA Hack ROM and based on Pokemon Emerald.

The Story is based on Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. You play as Wally so you will have new sidequests, post-games, and more thing with Mega Evolution, Z-moves, Fairy Type, and more… It’s complete in English. And now, Let’s play!

Hello, this is my first ROMhack attempt, a simple, plot-centric game based on RHH’s battle engine. The story is based on Emerald and ORAS, with additions into the main plotline, a new rival/antagonist, sidequests and post-game episodes. There is also a bit of a catch-them-all subtheme.
Play as Wally, go out and explore Hoenn, make friends and save the world!

Plot
This ROMhack is an alternate reality with Wally as the protagonist.
Longer pre-E4 plot up to lv85
Additional rival/antagonist
Delta and other post-game “episodes”
Additional side “quests”, mostly to unlock other Pokemon
Various adjusted NPC dialogue, e.g. daily egg and berry givers, Professors

Some interpretations based on questions from the mainstream games:
What if Maxie and Archie had used the correct Orbs?
What did Wally’s dad want to tell Wally after the 5th Gym?

Features
RHH’s Battle-Engine features, such as physical/special split, Mega Evolution, Z-Moves etc
All Pokemon, movesets, TMs and Move Tutors up to Gen VII, up to and including Melmetal
More double battles. Gym Leader and E4 rematches, as well as some boss fights will be doubles
All Pokemon have “perfect IVs”
NPC opponents have EVs
Gym Guides offer “battles” for fast leveling
EV-training NPCs: Unlockable through side events
EVs used as Contest conditions
Ability changer in Devon after 5th badge
Soft level cap
Other various QoL improvements

Removed/disabled features
Pokerus
Apprentices
Walda phrases
PokeNews and TV, Gabby and Ty interviews
Mail
Mauville Old Men and Lilycove Ladies
Big Seedot and Lotad
Game Corner gambling
Visiting trainer Game Corner
Pokeblocks (case removed. There should be no Pokeblock-berries)
Berry picking, berry crush, dodrio jump
Match Call (you can still call your contacts, but only for dialogue. For rematches, just go to the Gym Leaders and rematch indefinitely)
Safari Zone (intention is to re-enable for GenVIII pokemon)

Misc changes
Night starts at 1800, day starts at 0400
The “EXP gained” message in battle has been removed
Fainted Pokemon still gain EXP
Dewford Trend will not decrease in trendness

Additional information
The main Pokemon changes are regarding evolution. Was/am working on an alternate patch with type/stat/move/ability changes, but decided to keep it simple first.

This isn’t a difficulty hack, but there are attempts to raise the difficulty like NPCs having EVs, soft level cap, some AI changes, specifically-setup battles

Tested on mGBA-0.9.3 and VBA-M, only on Windows desktop.

Patches are in UPS format, for Trashman and “Pokemon – Emerald Version (U)” (SHA256 hash A9DEC84).

Warnings
This game has unkind re-interpretations of the antagonists (existing Pokemon characters).
While I believe I’ve avoided sensitive content, some antagonists’ dialogue are intended to irk/may be inappropriate to others
Some creepypasta are referenced.
The story is dark at times

Future plans
Gen VIII Pokemon
Alternate patch with type, stat and move changes
Difficulty improvements (please feedback)

General Changelog
*****************Version 1.0.1*****************
—-BUG FIXES—-
1. Fix party being lost if the player whited out during the EFF-Spiritomb battle
2. Fix S.S.Tidal being immediately boardable after the Delta Meteoroid due to an error in the ticket check
3. Fix Zekrom’s script being replaced by an embarrassing last-minute test leftover
4. Fix pokemon_locations.txt mistakes (Larvitar, Natu, Delibird, Taillow, Flabebe and Noibat)
5. Fix Oldale Town’s Mart being junk due to misalignment before the Pokedex is obtained

—-Other changes—-
1. Reduced/removed some sturdy-grunt fights after feedback that they were tedious. Those who remain have two sturdy Pokemon at most
2. Placed very explicit warnings to save before the Mt Pyre Summit fight
3. Replaced a fight in Victory Road that had a Shell Bell Aron (in case the player has absolutely no way to multi-hit due to playthrough rules)
4. Added explicit dialogue with Lance for directions after the Delta Episode
5. Ghetsis’ fight, even if lost, will continue (although during testing there appears to be no issue, just to be safe, and it’s indeed odd to re-run through the dialogue)
5. Removed leftover Memories (their existence will not harm the game, but Plates are used for RKS System and Multi-Attack). NPCs who gave Memories will give purchaseable Gems instead
6. Added the following items missing in 1.0: Charizardite-X, Absolite, Flyinium-Z, Lunalium-Z, Lycanium-Z and Tapunium-Z
7. Bug Maniac in Fortree City now gives rewards for every Vivillon shown, instead of only specific numbers
8. Added triggers to suggest where Cozmo ran to in Meteor Falls
9. Meltan’s base friendship has been boosted to 35 (note: this will still have a chance of disobedience)
10. Genesect has been moved to a one-time encounter in Altering Cave, with the normal wild encounters being replaced with Smeargles
11. Reshiram’s requirement now accepts Therian formes
12. Improved but incomplete documentation (incomplete item_locations, storypoints), hidden items in Buck’s sidequest, Vivillon locations etc

—-COMPATIBILITY—-
V1.0.1 is compatible with V1.0 saves, but please take note of the following:
-If you’re trapped in S.S.Tidal without the S.S. Tidal ticket, talk to the exit sailor who’ll drop you at Lilycove’s Cove Lily Motel
-If you’ve lost your party after exiting EFF’s location and saved after that, unfortunately they’ll be unrecoverable, apologies. Same if you saved after Mt Pyre’s fight
-If you’ve defeated Ghetsis but not already caught a Genesect, Genesect will now be unavailable, apologies
-If you’ve already shown the Bug Maniac Vivillons, some non-critical items will be missed, but the Buginium-Z and Insect Plate are still obtainable
