PROGRESS: Project Version: Beta 1.7 (In Development) - 27/12/2025 - This is a playable beta. The full story is a work in progress and will be expanded in future updates. The current version includes a "Beta Land" area to challenge strong trainers and test your team while waiting for the next release.

It is a story-driven and challenging Emerald ROM hack that introduces a game-changing luck factor into every battle. In this game, even the slowest Pokémon has a chance to move first, making every turn unpredictable. The adventure features permanent Mega Evolutions that act as new final forms, a completely reworked roster of 255 Pokémon with updated stats and movesets, and replaces traditional gyms with a new challenge called "The Kroza." With new evolution lines, custom Megas, and difficult Legendary encounters, this is a must-play for fans who love a tough, unpredictable journey where strategy and luck go hand-in-hand.

🛑Features:

➡️Luck-Based Speed Chance: The game's most unique feature. In every turn, any Pokémon has a 1% to 20% chance to move first, regardless of its Speed stat. The chance is higher for Pokémon with a stronger Base Stat Total, making every battle unpredictable.

➡️Permanent & Custom Mega Evolutions: Mega Evolution is no longer a temporary in-battle boost but a permanent evolution, acting as a new final stage for a Pokémon. The game also includes brand new, fan-made Mega Evolutions. ➡️The Kroza - A New Gym System: Traditional Pokémon Gyms and their leaders have been completely replaced with a new, mysterious challenge system known as "The Kroza."

➡️ Challenging & Story-Based: The game is explicitly designed to be a difficult and long adventure with a focus on its original story.

➡️Reworked Pokémon Roster: The majority of the Pokémon included in the game have had their base stats and movesets completely rebalanced and updated to make them more viable and unique.

➡️Curated Pokédex (255 Pokémon): The main story features a carefully selected Pokédex of 255 Pokémon, with more planned for the post-game National Dex. ➡️New Evolution Lines & Fakemon: The game includes brand new, custom evolution lines and unique Pokémon (Fakemon) with original sprites, such as Rhydriller and Maroslash.

➡️Challenging Legendary Fights: Encounters with Legendary Pokémon are designed to be significantly more difficult boss battles.

➡️A Story-Driven Adventure: The game is built around an original, engaging story.

➡️Side Quests & Secret Areas: The world is filled with optional side quests to complete and hidden locations to discover for rewards.

➡️"Beta Land" End-of-Beta Content: To provide a satisfying conclusion to each beta release, the game includes a special "Beta Land." This area acts like a Victory Road and Elite Four, allowing you to battle strong trainers and test your team while you wait for the next major update.

➡️Physical/Special Split: The modern Physical, Special, and Status split for moves has been fully implemented.

➡️Modern QoL Features: The game includes a variety of features from newer generations, such as an Exp. All system, optional Level Caps, and updated Moves and Items.
