Edited Pokemon Emerald

No, I didn't start editing a Pokemon Emerald ROM. I used the pokeemerald decompilation instead. What's the difference? In general, source code can be a lot more flexible to make additions with than romhacks, and have a lot of untapped potential. There's probably some great works in progress or released hacks that have gone under the radar, like the TPP trick or treat house Halloween puzzle hack.

Now I'm not a serious hacker, but I wanted to try playing around with this again over winter break now that I'm armed with a fresh laptop. Today I figured out how to add a proper cry, and put in goku screaming just to see if it would actually work. Here are the results:


So that's my edited Pokemon Emerald. Hope you enjoy and happy holidays.
 
i think you should add an arcade game to the mauville game corner in gen 3 that loads up a fully functioning version of gen 2
then, in the goldenrod game corner from gen 2, there should be a machine that loads up a fully functioning version of gen 1
then, in the celadon game corner from gen 1, there should be a machine that loads up DOOM
 
Hello everyone, I have returned to edit Pokemon Emerald again. My spirits are high, and during this holiday season I feel as if the sky is my limit. After mulling over the feedback in this thread, I figured out what the people of smogoff were demanding most and prepared my next modification. However adding Beavis and Butthead was actually quite a challenge, so instead I made all the text to be BEAVIS and/or BUTTHEAD. This recording features early gameplay, with various interactions in the overworld, menus, and battle.


So that's my edited Pokemon Emerald. Hope you enjoy and happy holidays.

EDIT:
Fix the RNG, it's been exploitable for too long. No fun allowed!
Okay, I can actually answer this one thanks to the documentation at pret.

There are actually two ways to fix this. You can either use RS's clock RNG function that was commented out in FRLG and never brought back, or use FRLG's RNG function.

Hello everyone. After 3 years in waiting, I am proud to announce that my Pokemon Emerald hack has resumed development and various custom abilities have been implemented. The final product is estimated to have at least 2 badges and 10 pokemon to encounter. Thank you for all the support on Edited Pokemon Emerald.

On an unrelated note, today I took inspiration from the smogon discord and made a different edit so that every battle uses Battle Palace rules. This ended up easier than I expected. On one hand, my Torchic had a Quirky nature that has a good chance of attacking and decent enough setup/support with Growl/Focus Energy. On the other hand, now you only need to press FIGHT to win while the AI decisions only get worse:

Regardless of difficulty, here is a showcase video of the Roxanne battle. Let me know if you want to see this playthrough continue on the boat to Dewfon and face Brawly, or let a poketuber handle it.

So that's my edited Pokemon Emerald. Hope you enjoy and happy holidays.

Hello everyone. For the thread's 1st anniversary, I am proud to announce further progress on Edited Pokemon Emerald. This mini hack was actually released a few months ago and worked on for a different small community, but I figured to show it here to show my appreciation for all the support over the year. Battle the Bad Christmas Ducks and rediscover the true meaning of Christmas in a post-apocalyptic future in Pokemon Bubber and Pokemon Ducky. However, this game may not be canon.

Features:
  • At least 1 map to explore in the main campaign with 5 deadly enemies to defeat
  • Choose from over 4 custom ducks (used sprites mostly by Domohead), new and modern moves/abilities, 15 tubs, and play as Bubberducky
  • Festive battle music for the season arranged by hula_ellipse
  • Modern QOL features such as physical special split and coloured nature names
  • No grinding is required or possible because there is only one battle
I have a video of my demo playthrough here with fuller thoughts and credits in the description. Let me know if you have any ideas for the final product, or standalone requests like Palace Emerald. Progress has been slow but steady over time, but I have to shout out the whole team at Duck World for music, sprites, plot, and generally sticking it out over the years. So that's my edited Pokemon Emerald. Hope you enjoy and happy holidays.
 
serious response: this is amazingly cool!

joke response: lmao tag yourself im DuckBot666

joke response but actually serious: can't wait to cosplay DuckBot666
 
Hello everyone. For the thread's 2nd anniversary, once again I return to report on further progress on Edited Pokemon Emerald. This update will mainly focus on some sneak peeks at new maps and areas in the world and other custom content from 2022.

Unravel the mysteries among the world and seek out the truth beyond chaos...

You can see some demo gameplay here from earlier this year back when E3 was cancelled. As always, let me know if you have any ideas or other requests that may be considered. To be honest this project has been in and out of limbo for a few years, much like the original thread this was based on and inspired to continue by, but plans remain in progress and are still developing with each passing generation, and I hope to see it through eventually no matter how many advents it takes. Shoutouts to Domohead and popdoo323 for some of the concepts, map design, and sprites shown here this year, as well as the original pret source for making this possible and the open source community improvements from their wiki and other projects like the RH Hideout expansions for various individual modern features.

So that's my Edited Pokemon Emerald. Hope you enjoy and happy holidays.
