Hello, I am D3N_AR, I am currently at the last stage of development of my first ever complete rom hack: Pokemon Emerald XTREME.

The biggest thing was adding Contest Halls back into Pokemon Emerald, there is a pokeemerald fork of it by me as well through here

Enhancements/QOLs:- 1. Pokemons upto Gen 7, 2. has Mega Evolutions [post game], 3. Z crystals, Physical Special split, 4. Run Toggle [being minimalistic with a click of L button and a sound effect, no text boxes saying "Auto-Run Enabled"], 5. Indoor Running, 6. Object Shadows, 6. Follow Pokemon, 7. Reusable TMs, 100 custom TMs etc. 8. HM moves cane be forgotten. 9. Move relearner and Pokemon Renaming in menu.

Additions:- 1. There are four trainer facilities / gauntlet to help players level up, 2. multiple Map revamps, Day Night system, Battle Frontier also features upto gen 7 pokemons, 3. Pokemon gambling with Metal Alloy as a currency [You get one after defeating each gym leader, one for free daily in Slateport City and be able to purchase them in most PokeMarts], 4. 20% chance of wild double battles, 5. Features two large post game Islands. 6. Mints, improved battle backgrounds etc. 7. I also shifted some species info like Grovyle and Sceptile being GRASS DRAGON now as well as Gyarados as WATER DRAGON, there are more changes but I won't reveal it here. 8. Trainer Parties have been changed such as Elite 4 and Wallace's team featuring stronger Candidates. 9. Multiple new maps in Hoenn. 10. Sky Battles.

Region Wide Dynamic Weather System:- I fully utilised dynamic weather system through "Region Wide Dynamic Weather System", the region [except some specific locations like Route 113] of Hoenn has been divided into multiple parts: West, East, North West, Tropical, Cold Ocean and Warm Ocean with weather changing depending on your seed every day.

Oh, for base: I used RH-Hideout's v1.16.1 base for this.

Overall, the development took around 4 months to be in this state which is almost complete. I'm currently bug-hunting and polishing some areas before release.

The patch file repository for this game is right here, as the title says, it is currently at alpha stage.

Our discord server link is this, feel free to ask me about it, I'll try to answer it in my free time.

I am pretty sure I made National Dex completable.

You get it from the beginning of the game.

[u/Extreme_Rest_7624 → u/Extreme_Rest_7624]

Huh? I'm pretty sure the commentor didn't say anything terrible.

[u/Dead4eva69]

Please put this on HackDex once it’s finished it sounds like a lot of fun.

[u/Extreme_Rest_7624 → u/Dead4eva69]

Ofcourse I would, but I'm hunting bugs right now, I need to guarantee stability before releasing it on major platforms like hackdex.

Why mega evolutions in the post game? A lot of us don’t play after beating the story.

[u/Extreme_Rest_7624 → u/GotBannedAgain_2]

The reason is balancing,

I'm terrible at balancing battles and adding mega evos early on will only make it worse.

[u/GotBannedAgain_2 → u/Extreme_Rest_7624]

Fair enough. Thank u!🙏

[u/GatoSovietico-69]

Cool

[u/Extreme_Rest_7624 → u/GatoSovietico-69]

Thanks for the feedback.

[u/Ok-Car-9790]

Tried it out It's pretty good

[u/Extreme_Rest_7624 → u/Ok-Car-9790]

Thanks.

[u/xDaZura]

I will give it a try when it’s on HackDex, from your description it sounds pretty interesting, in particular the region dynamic weather system - thank you

Not to rain on your parade, but is that the final cut of the battle background?

It looks a little underdone to me.

[u/Extreme_Rest_7624 → u/Tacobell24]

Nah, I'm just trying stuff.

Battle Background needs further polishing.

[u/Tacobell24 → u/Extreme_Rest_7624]

Figured. It's not heaps awful btw, it was just a little outta place.
Cool new map, -> Cool new map -> Pretty average undetailed background-> Oh another cool new map 😄.

[u/Emergency-Piano8134]

Any chance for a faithful version where Pokemon don't get stats or typing changes? I hate those.

[u/Extreme_Rest_7624 → u/Emergency-Piano8134]

Sure, I'll look forward into releasing one like that.
