Emerald hack: Pokemon Emerald Boss Rush - Demo

Pokemon Emerald Boss Rush - Demo

In Boss Rush there is no world to explore, no evil team to defeat nor even a patch of wild grass to catch pokemon in. What there is though, are stores that can sell you items, services and even pokemon and a series of gyms to challenge.

This is a short demo with only two gyms (both in single battle and double battle versions) and a handful of stores which can be upgraded once. I plan to add more services and features which you can be unlocked from their own upgrade store.

Features

• Upgrade your pokemon center to improve the selection of TMs, tutors, items and pokemon on sale.
• Choose whether to play through standard or double battles
• After every battle all pokemon are fully healed and all of your held items are returned. Battles are all set style and your bag is inaccessible during battle.
• Based on DizzyEgg's emerald expansion - Bringing modern battle mechanics, including gen 8 pokemon, types and moves.

Bugs

Spoiler:

• Sometimes the Pokemon sprite in the Pokemon store will get corrupted. Closing the store and reopening fixes this.
• It's not possible to have your pokemon healed at the Pokemon center. You should never need this though.
• The difficulty curve is pretty busted.

Latest version available here. The patch is based on the Emerald TrashMan rom.
Demo includes the first two gyms for both double and single battles.

This is so sick. I just started playing. PLEASE keep up that good work! Btw we all should show this to PokemonChallenges since he was looking for a Boss Rush Hack.

First of all, great game, with thoroughly challenging bossfights that put even highly acclaimed enhancement hacks to shame.
Just a few issues that I want to bring up:

Spoiler:

1. Is it possible to softlocke yourself if you have less than the required amount to upgrade the facilities?
2. While battling an arrokuda in the 2nd gauntlet, it said "this move has not been implemented" when the arrokuda was trying to use some move.
3. Bind is doing 8HP damage, instead of 1/8th. (I don't know if this is intentional or not. Either way, it made the first bossfight ludicrously difficult.)
4. This is a bit of a nitpick but :Why the hell is there a bloody mega beedrill in the second gauntlet!? Like how is it possible to beat it unless you use a vey, VERY specific team/savescum for crits!?

Also, I hope the extended radio silence doesn't hamper this game's development. This is a really cool concept with quite good implementation (and rage-inducing difficulty, to put it mildly), and is something that should definitely see the light of day as a full game.
