pokeemerald hack: halcyon emerald

halcyon emerald

Pokemon Halcyon Emerald, built on my "Salted Rom Base"

This project is essentially a large upgrade to the Pokemon Emerald base game. Its intention is to provide a souped up Emerald game ROM with an upgraded engine, that can then be modified to add new content/story while keeping all the new features.

features

• game content
  • battle engine upgrade, item/pokemon expansion
  • day/night with real time clock
  • access to legendaries gated behind events or tickets
  • mega stone w, as a master trigger for mega evolutions
  • more mega evolutions (ported from inclement emerald)
  • infinite move tutors
  • ingame helpers like self trading and iv/ev checking
  • moveset balance tweaks from gen 7+
• qol
  • much faster text scrolling
  • hm can be used as long as a party pokemon can learn it
  • eggs hatch sooner to reduce grind
  • tm/hm reusable and replaceable
  • various minor qol and bug fixes
• fixes
  • fixes to movement directions in overworld
  • improved berry growth mechanics
