Pokémon Emerald’s Eight (GBA)
Name: Pokémon Emerald’s Eight
Creator: AstroBreak
Version: v1.5 (Latest Complete)
Hack of: FireRed
Introduction:
My initial idea, and the one that ultimately led to me starting this project, was to create a hack that featured a party size other than the classic 6 members that's been included in all main series games to this day. There's seemingly a lack of hacks (or none at all that i've knowledge of) that have attempted to implement this, and when i first i looked into it, there didn't seem to exist any major limitation preventing it from being done, but there was definitely not a lot of info regarding different party sizes.
And so, this is a bit of an experiment-hack that consists of the base Pokemon Emerald experience, such that all of the mainline mandatory battles are playable, but with a party size of 8 pokemon not only on the player's side, but on enemy trainer parties as well. Along with this, i've added some QoL features that seemed like a must, as well as expanded all initial gym leader's teams to feature a full 8 member party, together with elite 4 and champion's.
Features:
Party size of up to 8 members on both player and enemy parties.
New 4/4 party manu layout.
Gen 6+ Exp. Share.
Custom gym leader, elite 4 and champion 8-member teams.
Reusable TM's.
Indoors running.
New music on gym leader battles.
Starter Tyrogue along with the usual starter of choice.
New as of v1.5:
Full 386 pokemon catchable.
Physical/Special split added.
Tuned down a bit the Exp. Share. This results in a slower level curve and alleviates overpowering the full party.
Trade evolutions are now all friendship evolutions.
Event items are obtainable from player PC upon starting a new game.
Expanded item pocket to hold up to 50 items.
Forgettable HM's.
Evolution stones sold on Petalburg pokemart, heart scales sold on Fallarbor pokemart.
Buffed Cut && Rock Smash. Rock Smash now also lowers defense every time.
Known issues & bugs:
Slight graphical glitches on party menu.
Battle Frontier and postgame are largely untested so probably broken somewhere, due to them being out of the scope of this project.
Some emulators might produce freezes at the beggining, or cause a black screen when starting champion Wallace's battle. Retroarch mgba core seems to mostly run the game just fine.
You tell me
