About Pokemon Emerald Genesis
A rebuilt Hoenn, Pokémon and moves from later generations, and a functioning day-and-night cycle give this Emerald overhaul its identity. Pokémon Emerald Genesis is a GBA beta 2.1 hack of Emerald by Hillsy13. It refreshes the graphics and engine while making all 386 Pokémon obtainable during the main story. The story receives a few small adjustments, alongside custom music, revised Battle Frontier sets, and a steeper difficulty curve.
