Storyline

We’re crafting this ROM with one clear aim: to provide the ultimate Emerald gaming experience in 2022. We’re all about enhancing the game’s quality of life and making it more enjoyable.

Our approach is to stay true to the original game’s essence. So, don’t expect modern features like the PSS. We won’t be adding extra story events or changing encounters. And, finding shiny Pokémon won’t be any simpler. It’s all about preserving that classic Emerald feel.
