Description
It is a high-quality enhancement hack that answers the question: "What if you could play through the Hoenn region with the Pokémon from Unova?" This game replaces the entire Hoenn Pokédex with the regional dex from Pokémon Black and White 2, allowing you to experience the classic Emerald story in a completely new way. The adventure is powered by an updated battle engine with modern mechanics, follower Pokémon, and a massive number of quality-of-life improvements. If you've ever wanted to take on Team Aqua and Magma with a Samurott or Serperior, this is the definitive way to do it.
