About Pokemon Summer Splash

Pokémon Summer Splash replaces Gyms with replayable arenas that reveal new surprises after repeated victories. Joexv’s Beta 1.3 GBA hack of Emerald is in English and includes Pokémon from Generations 4 and 5, beach travel, an underwater daycare, Team Magma and Team Aqua battles, and towns shortly before Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire. It has no Pokédex, uses the physical/special split, and awards experience after captures. Optional PC death adds a harsher rule for players who want it.
