PROGRESS: Current Version: 0.90: 11/09/2025 - The demo is playable up to the 7th Gym, with the ability to challenge the Elite Four.

It is a brand new, bite-sized GBA ROM hack that takes you to a unique island resort off the coast of Hoenn. Your adventure begins at "The Wynaut Stay" hotel, where the main attraction is The Legendary Luxe, a massive casino where you can win every single Pokémon from the Generation 3 National Pokédex! This game is not about a long, epic journey; it's a short campaign designed for players who love teambuilding and the thrill of the Battle Frontier. Unlock all 10 casino machines, build your dream team from a completely random pool of Pokémon, buy new moves for them with your winnings, and then take on the island's custom Gym Leaders and the iconic Battle Frontier. It's a teambuilder's paradise!

🛑Features:

➡️Casino-Based Pokémon Acquisition: The core feature of the hack. Every Pokémon from the Generation 3 National Pokédex is available as a prize from The Legendary Luxe Casino. You do not catch Pokémon in the wild; you win them from 10 different unlockable machines, each with its own prize pool based on rarity.

➡️A Brand New Island to Explore: The game takes place on the completely new, self-contained Emerald Isle, a resort island off the coast of Hoenn.

➡️Short Campaign Designed for Teambuilding: The game features a short, condensed main story designed to get players to the post-game content quickly.

➡️Full Battle Frontier Access: The main goal of the hack is to build teams for and challenge the iconic Hoenn Battle Frontier, which is fully accessible after the 7th Gym.

➡️Custom Gym Leaders: The island features its own set of unique Gym Leaders, who are actually the hotel staff roped into a new Pokémon League Challenge.

➡️Economy Centered Around Gambling & Battling: You earn prize money by challenging trainers in the Battle Tent and Trainer Hill. You can then spend your winnings at the casino to get new Pokémon, or use it to buy new moves, TMs, decorations, and evolution items.

➡️Sell Pokémon for Profit: You are able to sell the excess Pokémon you gather at the casino to make more money.

➡️Complete Gen 3 National Pokédex: The game includes every Pokémon from the first three generations, all obtainable through the casino.

➡️New Minigames & Side Activities: The island is filled with multiple new minigames and side activities, such as Talent Shows, to participate in.

➡️Classic GBA Experience: The game is a hack of Pokémon Emerald and maintains its classic Generation 3 mechanics and feel.
