Pokémon Emerald Seaglass is RELEASED!

That’s right! Pokémon Emerald Seaglass, my Rom Hack of Pokémon Emerald, is officially released!

The patch can be downloaded for free on my Ko-Fi website here: https://ko-fi.com/nemo622

Alongside the IPS patch file, a PDF with lots of important documentation is included! This contains information about how to patch the file to play the game, a Feature list, a Credits list, and a giant list of Pokémon locations! If you have a question about the game, odds are it’s in that PDF!

For those who missed my previous Reddit posts, here’s a quick rundown of the top features:

  • Complete visual overhaul of all game graphics to fit a cozy, GBC-like aesthetic

  • All Pokémon from Generations 1-3 are obtainable, along with cross-generation evolutions (ex: Roserade, Mamoswine, Farigiraf)

  • Tweaks to many traditionally “bad” Pokémon to make them more interesting and usable (ex: Ghost/Flying Noctowl, Grass/Dragon Sceptile, Water/Fire Octillery)

  • Updated battle engine to most recent games (Physical/Special split, Fairy type, etc.)

  • New minigames and events to bring life to Hoenn, such as a Scuba Diving competition in Pacifidlog Town and Pinball games used to unlock rare items and Alolan Eggs!

  • Following Pokémon!!

  • The Rustboro City Wishing Well, using Wishing Star items as a currency in a gacha-like system to get random Pokémon! Great for shaking up repeat playthroughs

  • Cheat codes accessible in-game via the Player’s GameCube

  • Hard Mode (disabled by default), Soft Level Cap toggle (enabled by default), and more settings accessible by interacting with book on Player’s desk

  • Many, many more small features, tweaks, and QOL additions! Be sure to check the Documentation PDF for more information :)
