Too Many Types 2 is an Emerald-based sequel from Too Many Productions that rebuilds Hoenn around an expanded type system. Its practical trade-offs are that the team only tested mGBA, and the audio can pop because the high-quality mixer was disabled to avoid warp crashes.
Base ROM: Pokémon Emerald (US) — a clean dump has CRC32 1F1C08FB.
Before you patch
- Use Pokémon Emerald (US). The official Hackdex listing patches a clean Emerald ROM in the browser; it does not distribute a pre-patched ROM.
- Use mGBA. It is the only emulator the team tested.
- Keep the official documentation open. It has the type chart, a dex, special type interactions/terrains/gimmicks, important fights, item locations and trainer-randomizer information.
- Catch roaming legendaries when you meet them. Four are permanently missable if defeated.
Who it’s for
This is for players happy to learn a deliberately nonstandard battle system and consult documentation rather than rely on Emerald knowledge alone. The official listing estimates 4–8 hours, includes post-game content, and labels the tone lighthearted/comedy. It is a less safe pick for players using an untested emulator or who are sensitive to occasional audio pops.
Version history
- v1.5.2 — 11 March 2026. The current official listing fixes room-decoration bugs, Battle Challenge shield-decoration placement, and invalid original-trainer/met-location data on wild Pokémon.

Pokemon Too Many Types 2: common questions
- Which ROM do I need?
- The creator's PokéCommunity release post says to apply the patch to Pokémon Emerald (US). Hackdex's official listing also asks players to select a clean Pokémon Emerald ROM before patching.
- Which emulator should I use?
- Use mGBA if possible. The team says it is the only emulator they tested, so it is the only one they recommend apart from official hardware.
- Why does the audio sometimes pop?
- The developers disabled their high-quality mixer because it could randomly cause crashes while warping. They note that this can leave occasional audio popping.
- Can I miss a shiny or legendary encounter?
- There are no shiny locks. Four roaming legendaries can be missed if they are knocked out rather than caught.
- Does the day/night display change encounters?
- No. The creator says day/night-specific encounters and mechanics are only cosmetic.
