Description
It is a ROM hack of Pokémon Emerald with a focus on exploration and battling. It features a custom map layout, Pokémon rebalancing, its very own battle gimmick, and modifies core features such as evolution, catching, and levelling. It uses the original Pokémon Emerald's tileset with only a few new additions, and contains a custom Pokédex of 340 Pokémon (around 140 for this demo) with the majority being gens 1-3. All of these Pokémon have had their movesets and stats rebalanced, with the goal of making every Pokémon usable. There are a few new original abilities and moves.
