◆ ABOUT

Pokemon Inclement Emerald is a Pokemon GBA Rom Hack by Buffel Saft based on Pokemon Emerald. And it is now available to download. It was last updated on April 2, 2022.

◆ FEATURES · 61 TOTAL
  • Most non-legendary Pokémon from gen 1-7 can be obtained, with the missing Pokémon and all of Generation 8 planned for a future version.
  • New ways to find Pokémon keep the grass from getting crowded – most routes will have eight Pokémon species found in the grass, with more found in Cut trees, sand mounds, and berry trees.
  • Choose any of the regional starters at the start of the game! Before choosing a starter, you’ll be asked which region you want your starters to come from, and then you can pick one of the three from that region. Be careful not to fast-forward your way through the early game and skip this choice!
  • Pokémon that normally evolve by trading have alternate evolution methods.
  • All Pokémon that appear in a battle get 100% of the EXP
  • Pokémon that didn’t battle will get 25% of the EXP
  • Holding an EXP Share increases that to 100% EXP
  • Inclement Emerald features a custom list of 100 TMs, 8 HMS, and a whopping 143 tutor moves! Some of these are entirely new, such as Meteor Mash, Quiver Dance, and Freeze-Dry. Note that “only” 126 of these tutor moves are currently available, as some of them are unfinished Gen 8 moves.
  • Generic tutor moves are all taught by an NPC found in every Pokémon Center. They’re all free, and you’ll unlock new moves after each badge you earn.
  • Special tutors like Grass Pledge, Blast Burn, and Draco Meteor are found elsewhere and may have extra requirements to be taught.
  • And of course, TMs are infinitely reusable.
  • Overgrow, Blaze, Torrent, and Swarm provide a 20% damage boost to their respective types at all times. This increases to 50% at low HP.
  • The Big Root doubles HP recovered from certain moves.
  • The Light Ball also works on both Raichu forms, but gives them a 50% damage boost instead of the 100% that Pikachu gets.
  • Bonemerang can hit airborne targets (but doesn’t knock them down like Thousand Arrows does).
  • Most non-legendary Pokémon from gen 1-7 can be obtained
  • New ways to find Pokemon keep the grass from getting crowded – Cut trees, sand mounds, and berry trees
  • Choose any of the regional starters at the start of the game
  • Pokemon that normally evolve by trading have alternate evolution methods
  • New moves, abilities, items, and mechanics from gen 4-7
  • Mega Evolution
  • In-game Pokedex shows base stats, learn sets, egg moves, and more
  • Certain fan favorites like Milotic and Flygon can finally mega evolve
  • Custom Exp Share system
  • 100 TMs, 8 HMS, and 143 tutor moves
  • Reusable TMs
  • Improved AI
  • Trainers and wild Pokemon scale based on your party’s levels
  • Normal, Hard, and Challenge modes
  • Changes to base stats, types, moves, movepools, items, and abilities to make many Pokemon stronger
  • The bag can hold 999 of every item
  • Decapitalization
  • Alternative HM system
  • Improved Berry system
  • In-game EV, IV, and nature changer NPCs
  • A few maps have new areas
  • Postgame rematches
  • Improved AI – opponents will switch more often, make better decisions, and understand how new moves and abilities work.
  • Trainers and wild Pokémon scale based on your party’s levels, allowing you to skip trainers or tackle optional areas at any time.
  • As of version 1.3, a level cap system keeps the scaling reasonable and makes training a full party to equal levels easier. Once a Pokémon is over the cap, it’ll only get one EXP point per KO, but will still earn EVs.
  • Every trainer has a custom moveset to ensure the level scaling doesn’t leave them with rubbish sets. Most trainers will simply use level-up moves, but bosses, Ace Trainers, and Veterans will commonly make use of TM, tutor, and egg moves, and some will even use Mega Evolution!
  • Normal Mode: trainers have no EVs
  • Hard Mode: trainers gradually gain EVs as you progress through the game, eventually having full 510 EV spreads. Regular trainers like Swimmers and Fishermen will have “bad” spreads to keep exploring from becoming a slog, but watch out for Ace Trainers!
  • Challenge Mode: This is like Hard Mode but with two extra rules: the bag can’t be used in trainer battles, and the Shift battle style is disabled.
  • A new Key Item, the Poké Vial, can be used out of battle to fully heal your entire party. Initially, it only has one use, but it’s refilled by healing at a Pokémon Center and can be upgraded with an extra charge later on.
  • When a repel wears off, you’ll be prompted to use another one.
  • Healing items can be used repeatedly, without returning to the bag after each use.
  • Autorun – this can be toggled on or off by pressing the “R” button. You can also hold B while it’s on to walk or to run when it’s off.
  • You can also hold B to surf faster!
  • New hybrid HM system: you can still use HMs as normal, but there’s now an alternative: whenever you beat a Gym Leader, they’ll allow you to call one of their Pokémon to use an HM move for you, so you can use HMs without having any Pokémon that knows the move. This applies to all HMs except Fly and Flash, which can be used by any Pokémon that can learn them without actually knowing the move.
  • On top of that, Fly can be used in the overworld without any badges.
  • Get a free Premier Ball for every ten Poké Balls you buy, of any kind! E.g. if you buy 30 Ultra Balls, you get 3 Premier Balls free.
  • Buy healing items, Poké Balls, etc. in Pokémon Centers. Marts now sell consumable-held items like gems and Focus Sashes.
  • Like Sword and Shield, the move reminder, name rater, and move deleter are all one NPC that can be found in every Pokémon Center. You can even rename other trainers’ Pokémon!
  • Friend Balls make Pokémon very friendly when caught – if they evolve via friendship, they’ll already be friendly enough to evolve!
  • Dream Balls will give Pokémon their hidden ability when caught.
  • The chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon has been increased to 1/1024.
  • IVs and EVs can be viewed on the summary screen – press “A” to cycle between stats, IVs, and EVs.
  • All berry trees have significantly increased yields, and some of them grow much faster.
  • Berries planted on rainy routes or in the Berry Master’s garden don’t need to be watered – they’ll always give you the maximum amount of berries.
  • You can also encounter wild Pokémon when checking a berry tree, with a different set of mons available at each stage of growth.
