Description
EMERALD 20 is a nostalgic, vanilla+ ROM hack of Pokémon Emerald created to celebrate the game’s 20th anniversary. Inspired by a fan-made Gen 3 VGC-style format, it introduces more double battles, more references to Pokémon Colosseum and XD, and fresh battle challenges—all without straying far from the classic Emerald experience.
Designed with a sense of whimsy and discovery in mind, EMERALD 20 feels like a mod that could’ve existed in 2005, blending the spirit of the original with modern design sensibilities. There’s no official changelog—players are encouraged to explore, experiment, and uncover all that the game has to offer on their own.
Features
- Introduces two new types: Aural (sound/wave-based) and Astral (space-themed)
- Aural-type is a special type that focuses primarily on sound waves but also extends to include other types of inaudible waves. Moves like UPROAR, GROWL, and SONICBOOM are Aural-type, of course, but so are moves like FOCUS BLAST, AURA SPHERE, and VACUUM WAVE.
- Astral-type is a special type that focuses on Pokemon from “out-of-town.” This type is very rare, and it’s worth going out of your way to catch some of these Pokemon. MOONBLAST, METEOR BEAM, and SWIFT are some examples of Astral-type moves.
- Dragon-type is now physical, buffing classic Pokémon like Dragonite
- Heavy focus on double battles and Gen 3 VGC-style gameplay
- References and mechanics inspired by Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness
- New battle formats and unique strategic challenges
- Early playable build; more event content to be added
