Bugmerald Hack Overview

 I'm making a rom-hack of Pokemon Emerald! Follow the project here: https://github.com/mattjrand/bugmerald

 Key features:


  • You can only catch and raise Bug types
  • Updated Stats, Abilities, and Movepools for nearly all Bug types, along with some changes to secondary types
  • Updated Type Effectiveness that elevate Bug types above the worst type in the game without making things too overpowered
  • Completely revamped trainer battles and teams. All trainer battles are now Double Battles, and all trainers have at least four Pokemon in their team. Trainers will use Pokemon and items from later generations Gym Leaders always carry a full team and utilize Double Battle synergies and held items. Signature Gym Leader Pokemon have also received generous buffs
  • New storyline hidden under the base storyline that concludes in the post-game.
  • HMs can be used just by having them in your bag, you no longer need to use up a valuable moveslot to Cut or move boulders!
  • NPCs will give valuable info on new Abilities, updated Pokemon, moves, and evolution methods. Don't feel like you need to dig through a changelog document before diving into the game
  • This mod uses the pokeemerald-expansion decompilation project as a base, meaning that all 1025 Pokemon can make an appearance in the game!
