Emerald hack: Pokemon Emerald Inexperienced - Randomizer, 0XP, Gen 1-9 + DLC, Challenge Hack with QoL [full-game beta]

[lykae]

Overview
This is my first romhack, and I was inspired to make it by a video from Jrose11 in which he beat Emerald with exp gain turned off (and he was inspired by SmallAnt).
It features all Pokemon including the DLCs (minus Shedinja) - Fixed Encounter, Wild Encounter and Enemy Trainer Mons are randomized.
There is also a bunch of QoL to make your run smoother.

I put in all the features I wanted but still need to test thoroughly, so this can be considered a beta.
Please let me know about any errors you encounter and suggestions that might come to mind.
I tested it with mGba for PC/n3ds and NSUI 3ds VC Injections.

So if you get no experience in this game is there any way to get you Mons to lvl 100(such as rare candies)?

Is there a way to turn off Following Pokemon?

you can purchase rare candies in most shops, but they are quite expensive (you can max out your money in the debug menu easily if you want)

Is there a way to turn off Following Pokemon?

not currently

Ah thanks......


Anywho I just about completed the game. Seems great so far.

What I would suggest for now is fixing the Battle Palace as there are sometimes my Pokemon would literally use their actual moves to hit themselves. For example my Phermosa used Leech Life on itself, damaged itself, and then healed itself for half the damage it took.

Another suggestion I have is please allow us to use every mythical Pokemon and every sub legendary Pokemon in the Battle Frontier Facilities. As of now all of them are banned from entering those challenges(even though this was usually always the case in these settings but in the context of this Romhack, it'd add a ton of postgame playability, giving us endless battles to use them in).

Y'know that's actually kind of a pretty neat Ability idea.
Just needs to be tweaked a bit, so If you damage yourself, you'd raise one of your stats (or maybe just your predominant stat).

I will check out the things you mentioned, I haven't played both of those facilities so I didn't account for them yet. Thanks for playing the hack! If you didn't know, you can catch three lvl 70 mons and try to beat Steven as well.

Nice....

I'm looking forward to more updates, and I'm loving the debug feature allowing me to just generate a team of six for each playthrough, would make for interesting challenge runs as well.

Keep it up 👍
