Emerald hack: Pokémon Modern Emerald (Complete, 2.3.3 Released! Following Pokémon, Modern Battle Frontier, and more!)

Hello!! Still playing your hack, and just finished the league. Can you point me where can i buy the event tickets, please? I cant seen to find it on the notes.
 
Hi. Ty for this hack its been a blast!
I have a question, when i configure to play in the Vanilla preset certain moves are still Fairy type (ex. Charm). Are they Normal type showing up as Fairy type or are they just Fairy type? Like is it a visual thing or does it affect in game battles?
Moves and Pokémon types are different features. Removing Fairy type AND making Fairy moves Normal type again means having to add two other variables to edit the Fairy moves:
1. No fairies pkm / No fairy type moves but old moves
2. Fairies pkm / Fairy type moves but new moves
3. No fairies pkm / Fairy type moves but new moves
4. Fairies pkm / Fairy type moves but old moves.
In other words, too much work for so little reward.
I have a save file from 1.5.6 how do I update to the newest version while keeping my save file?
You can't. You can, however, trade your 1.5.6 Pokémon to a 2.3.1 save.
Thank you, thank you. I found 2 things which I'm confused about.

They might be bugs. Once you finish the trick house in its entirety your prize gets transferred to your PC and when you go to check for it, it's gone. Effectively there's no prize.

Same thing for completing the art collection at Lilycove, which was even more of a sorespot for me because it took me even longer because trial and error. I definitely think there should be at least some sort of prize for completing these. Hopefully this is unintentional.
Everything you mentioned falls under the original game. Trick house prizes go to your PC since they are secret base items, and I have literally no idea what the art collection at Lilycoves gives you. You should look an OG Emerald guide.

BF shop.
 
um, i may be dumb but how does one change the speed at which time passes mid-game.
 
Thank you for this hack its great :).
i'm working on a living dex at the moment.
I need a blue shard/waterstone right now and it should be pretty common(20% chance) using the compoundeyes/thief trick on Clamperl.
All i'm getting are Big Nuggets(32 so far) and deepseatooths(46 so far) and zero luck om a single blue shard.
I think the Big Nuggets are stopping me getting blue shards.

Apparently they get sent to your PC as in your Decoration PC. I thought it was an item you could use in the field. I was so confused on where those things got sent. So, you're right they are all secret base items.

Also, the braille was a nice touch. I've solved it all, I think. I quite enjoyed it. Very nice job on that.

I've been able to get the Blue Shards from Tentacool. Keep using thief on them.

Since 2.1:
  • Clamperl can now drop Big Nuggets instead of Blue Shards as a rare drop.
  • Tentacool and Tentacruel now hold Blue Shards, as a rare drop.
 
The legendary beasts can be caught before their intended final encounter, not sure if this is known and in the works

Also, is there a way to make the IV person in Lilycove just re-randomize to other 30/31 combinations? Would help a lot with Hidden Power typings

e: Raikou has Volt Absorb while the other two have Pressure still. If there was an option to change legendary abilities away from Pressure I didn't select that.

Hello. I noticed you don't mention Scizor at all in evolutions list. Nor is there anything in the Pokémon location spreadsheet. How do I evolve my Scyther? Thank you.

- All legendary beasts have a flag assigned which prevents catching them, and I can't reproduce the bug. Unless you give me more information (emulator, did you use debug menu before, etc.) I can't do anything.
- I've been thinking some ways to improve the IV setter to allow for different HP, but right now he sets every IV to 31.
- Some legendaries have 2 abilities since I didn't want to completely override the original ability. Like a normal Pokémon, you have to catch it again. There is currently no way to manually change any ability.
can you add a section to the Google document specifying the new moves for each Pokemon?

Check all these data on your Pokédex. The great thing about this hackrom is that most things can be checked ingame.
 
Hello and thank you for all your work on this hack; I am very much enjoying it so far. I am at the point where I'm trying to catch the Regis and I've reached an impasse with Regieleki. The message is to take the blue gem from where it rains and put it in the middle, but I'm only allowed to try inserting key items in the wall. It seems like it would be the Blue Orb, but after Archie and Maxie return the orbs to Mt. Pyre, there doesn't seem to be a way to acquire them. What else can I do? I am playing in v2.3 as it comes from pokeharbor.

I was confused by this as well. I was hoping it was a hidden item in the rain but that is not the case, either.

It's not any of the orbs. The item is in an actual area you have to go to on a route, where it rains of course.

Here is the exact location in case you need it:

Spoiler: Exact location

Incredible, I'd ignored that Kecleon a number of times before this while exploring the route and looking for the item. Thank you so much.
 
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Modern Emerald (Complete, 2.3.3 Released! Following Pokémon, Modern Battle Frontier, and more!)





🔍WHAT IS THIS HACK? (Updated to 2.1)

To put it simply, "Pokémon Modern Emerald" is a modernization of the original "Pokémon Emerald" game. This game offers all the QOL features and improvements that I've always wanted since I got my hands on the original game in 2005. Think of this as a 2.0 update for the original game. This game is not a "difficulty hack-rom", and never will be. If you want a super difficult version of Pokémon Emerald there are already a lot of good hack-roms available. The idea behind this game is to play it instead of the original "Pokémon Emerald", especially for those who want a vanilla experience with more features: simple difficulty modes, move splits, QOL features, new Pokémon, new areas, new rematches, and a large etc.

This hack is a "3rd generation hack", meaning that it doesn't try to mimic later generations and, although certain features and improvements from later generations are included, this hack is a 3rd generation game at its core. Don't expect all the new moves from later generations, or being able to catch 900 different Pokémon. This hack does not include the "Battle Engine Upgrade" or anything similar, but it does include certain mechanics from it (like the OPTIONAL Physical / Special split that happened in Gen. IV, or the Fairy Type). There are a total of 423 Pokémon, including 2 from Generation 8 and 3 from Generation 9.

In addition, the game is incredibly modular. When you start a new game, a menu that contains dozens of options to customize your experience will appear. This includes:
  • Gamemode: Select a preset to have a closer experience to the original Emerald, or a more up-to-date experience.
  • Features: Select a ton of new features that will enhance the game. Includes a Fake-RTC for those with flashcards / emulators without RTC.
  • Randomizer: Randomize every aspect of the game, from inside the game.
  • Nuzlocke: Create your Nuzlocke rules!
  • Difficulty: Customize the difficulty of the game with pretty simple options. Hard, or easy? Your choice.
  • Challenges: Select some challenges to test yourself.

The code is available on Github, and you can report bugs over there or in this thread. The game works on any good emulator (tested on: mGBA on PC / Switch) and on real hardware (tested on: EZ Flash Omega (BUT YOU HAVE TO SELECT FLASH TYPE 128KB MANUALLY), Everdrive Mini). Some emulators can cause crashes (OpenEMU, MyBoy, VBA) probably because they are too old or they are missing features other good emulators have.

This is my "dream emerald" version but now even better!

🆙INSTALLATION AND DOWNLOADS

Download the attachment
You need the ROM: Pokemon - Emerald Version (USA, Europe). sha1: f3ae088181bf583e55daf962a92bb46f4f1d07b7
Patch using flips.

You can check where all Pokémon are and more using my personal document.
You can check all the game code in my Github. My code can be messy and probably bad, especially the names of my commits. Sorry in advance. Modern Emerald has to be compiled with "make modern". Older compilers won't work.


🎞️CREDITS

I think it's easier to say that all my edits came from Pret's pokeemerald wiki. If you want to appear in this section, just message me and I will edit the post.

You can use this game as a base for your rom-hack, if you so desire.
You can use any code from the Github repository, if you really want to.
No need to credit me, just have fun.
