What is Gleaming Emerald?:
Gleaming Emerald is a project that I have been working on and off of for a few months, It is an Improvement Hack which tries to take what emerald already did and improve on it. This is meant to be a more simple Rom Hack so don't expect a massive overhaul of the whole game.
Features:
The Pokédex has been expanded to include 250 Pokémon.
Enemy Trainers have buffed IVs, Levels, AI Levels and Teams.
A lot of Pokémon have had their base stats buffed, with a few getting new abilities and typings + a lot of evolution levels and methods have been edited.
Most Pokémon have had their Level up Learn sets reworked (Only Pokémon in the Dex have received any changes to anything.)
Every Pokémon in the Dex does not give out EVs to make the game harder. The store that sells Vitamins was removed, so the only way to get EVs before post game is with the random Vitamins you find on the ground. There is a new dedicated area in the Battle Frontier where you can EV grind if you want to do the Battle Frontier after you beat the game.
Wild Pokémon have been altered so that it's possible to complete the Pokédex.
All Event Islands are able to be reached by a building in the Battle frontier (Warning: Bad Tilework involved)
There is a new person in the Fallarbor Town Pokémart that sells Evolution Stones.
There is a group of five people in the Battle Frontier who will sell all the TMs in the game.
The Battle Frontier Mart has a new person selling Held Items.
Story Dialogue starts changing after the second Maxie Battle to make the story a bit better.
New Pokémon have been added into the game. (11 in total)
Moves from future Pokémon games have been added (7 in total) + One completely new move. Dune Splash, 80BP Ground Move because ground types lacked a good in between move from. They went from moves like dig and then went to Earthquake. So I added an in between.
Dark and Ghost hit Steel for Neutral Damage like modern Pokémon Games.
The Oldale Pokémart sells Rare Candies.
Documentation:
A full list of Stat Changes, New Pokémon introduced into the Dex, New Pokémon not from this game, New Moves and Move Changes, Ability changes, Evolution Changes and Type changes can be found on This Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ePib63ND4jpTFwIpZHyHoteRNanEJv1n3kt7zR9rL0g/edit?usp=sharing
For Level Up Moves: The process of adding all the new level up move sets would take too long, so just look them up on Hex Maniac Advance.
