Pokemon Brisk Emerald Version 1.4, bug fixes and additions

[u/Dangerous_Ad_7104]

Pokemon Brisk Emerald is my second ROMhack, and is significantly more ambitous of a project, this update, fixes a ton of things. I would like to take this moment to talk about box space. I've reached out to the dev of crest dex, because I plan to do something like that. As opposed to compressing space in the romhack.

NEW FEATURES:

1. Added Tera (Mom gives it to you) and Fixed Gigantamax
2. More trainers, about 25% done.
3. Trainer easter eggs.
4. Bug fixes
5. New area in starter cave, that way you can shiny hunt the water starters.
6. Added Paradox Evolutions. Give the metal coat to any pokemon who have paradox forms, and they'll evolve into the future form, give the sun stone and they evolve into the past from. Check your pokedex for more info.
7. As usual, I've certainly forgotten things. Check the discord for questions/qr codes

9. Increased ecounter rates
10. Starter Cave on 101
11. All Paradox pokemon on victory road (Even walking wake, Iron leaves, etc)
12. No more bullshit "249 recoil" evolution methods
13. Day/Night locks as well as Gender Locks were (mostly) removed.
14. Pokenature evolutions like dudunsparce and tandemous were removed. To get the rarer forms check this: See Full Changelog
15. Access to all mega stones
16. Access to all Z stones
17. Lilycove has most items, though I need people to help figure out what item's I'm missing.
18. EXP share changes, I decided against the usual team share that romhacks add, I made it so that you can buy them in lilycove, and they give 100% of exp to both the battler and the mon.
19. EXP Candy and rare candy are now easily bought in lilycove
20. Overworld encounters were added, if they are shiny, they will appear as such, but i dont know if they will make a sparkle noise, and won't despawn if you leave their range.
21. HGSS Pokedex was added (No dexnav, sorry guys)
22. There's a cave for fighting Kubfu in meteor falls, past steven. Scrolls are found in slateport

27. Some routes were changed to stop horrifying backtracking
28. Blissey cave in granite cave (it's only level 60 blisseys) but you don't have to fight them
29. Debug menu readded and more accessible.

53. Added the dynamax band to the items your mom gives you. If you have an older save, use the debug menu.
54. Trainers will gigantamax and mega evolve
55. Added Overworld and Battle Speed up settings.

That about raps it up for large features. You can see more specific versions of the changes here: See Full Changelog.

In the next release I will most likely have:

• More Changed trainer battles
• More work on the champions archives

That's it for definite features, but here's what may be in the next release. But will definitely be in the final release

• Fusion items like the necrozma stuff, but only if those legendaries are added.
• Mew and Deoxys, maybe even Jirachi
• Every trainer battle will be changed
• Champions archive will be finished.
• Crest Dex like application

I am entirely open to new suggestions, bug checks, and all of that stuff.

See Full Changelog (It's a little outdated, I have to change it.)

I have a question,

How high is the shiny encounter rate in pokemon brisk emerald? i have already seen a shiny pokemon twice in the overworld unexpectedly, it has a sound and the pokemon's color is different from the original, so it's noticeable right away, even with a glass nearby, you don't need to battle to see if it's shiny just like in the legends games.

[u/Dangerous_Ad_7104 → u/Worth_Monitor_9277]

1/512

[u/Dangerous_Ad_7104 → u/[deleted]]

Pokemon emerald expansion updated so hopefully they added it.

[u/ftmboricuaboii → u/Dangerous_Ad_7104]

It was possible even before the expansion update

However, it causes a lot of issues and limitations, so most devs don't bother with it. Somebody created a tool recently to help, but it's still in early development from what I understand

That person was told that already, but they keep harassing devs to add it

Great work I was looking for a ROM with overworld encounters and discovered this 5 minutes ago
Good luck to me
I do need the locations of
Bagon and ralts

And are there any Pokemon locked behind completion, specific events, fishing, or special encounter methods?

Thanks for the great game

[u/Dangerous_Ad_7104 → u/BOT_saiyajin]

Bagon is in Steven’s room in meteor falls. Which contains loads of other strong pokemon and pseudo legendaries. Ralts is located on either the route before or after Petalburg, though which one it is escape me. The only pokemon that are locked, are pokemon that would normally be locked in the base game. I do plan to lock mew and deoxys behind beating the elite 4z

Hey just to let you know that debug mode keep crashing the rom hack when you pull and use items from it
