PROGRESS: Project Version Beta 2.0 (19/04/2026) - This release features the integration of Team Sky, the implementation of 5 story chapters including the Sevii Islands, and the addition of the "Beta Land" post-game area.

It is an Emerald ROM hack designed to be a challenging, story-driven experience. The game spans across a remade Hoenn region and the Sevii Islands, featuring a multi-chapter narrative that diverges from the original Emerald plot after the first rival battle.

🛑Features:

➡️Permanent and New Megas: Permanent Mega Evolutions are accessible via the Alpha Shard, alongside original/scrapped forms. There are 40 Megas available, including new additions like Milotic, Shedinja, Nidoking, and Castform.

➡️New Luck Based System: Depending on a Pokémon's Base Stat Total, there is a 1% to 10% chance for a Pokémon to attack first even if it is slower, unless affected by specific speed-altering status conditions or items.

➡️Updated Gyms and New Battle Arena (Kroza): Gyms feature multiple complex puzzles per location, and the new Kroza Battle Arenas provide unique challenges that reward players with special items and Pokémon.

➡️New Story: The game is structured into chapters (currently five) and includes major events like the hunt for Shadow Lugia, which serves as a difficult triple-battle challenge.

➡️Team Sky: The organization from Mandjtv is officially integrated into the plot as a main faction with an original storyline and new grunts.

➡️Newer Gen Mechanics: Includes modern quality-of-life features such as Exp. All, Auto Repel, optional Level Caps (Hard or Normal), and the Physical/Special split.

➡️Dynamic Level: An optional setting that scales the levels of opponent Pokémon to match the highest-leveled member of your team.

➡️Easier Level Up Systems: Improved Exp. gain, Exp. awarded for catching Pokémon, rare "triple Exp." chances, and purchasable Rare Candies.

➡️EV/IV Management: Includes an EV-IV Watch item provided at the start of the game and dedicated EV-IV trainers to simplify training.

➡️Higher Shiny Odds: The shiny encounter rate has been increased to 1/517.

➡️Beta Land: A special area acting as a "Victory Road" for the game's beta versions, featuring challenging trainers and hidden rewards.

➡️Pokedex Upgrade: The roster has been expanded to approximately 350 Pokémon from various generations, excluding legendaries and pseudo-legendaries.

➡️Pokémon Rework: Most Pokémon have had their base stats and movesets rebalanced to ensure viability, along with updated shiny sprites for some species.

➡️New Pokémon and Evolution Lines: Features custom Pokémon such as the Charcadet evolution "Sheildage" and "Artisoulo," as well as new regional forms like Alolan Cubone and Hoennian Obstagoon.

➡️Secrets: The game is filled with hidden content that rewards players with resources and access to a Secret Base in Beta Land.

➡️Moves Update: Old moves have been rebalanced (e.g., Future Sight, Rock Blast), and many original moves have been added to the game.

➡️Graphical Changes: Includes a fully updated aesthetic with colorful badges, a recolored Pokedex, new battle and bag UIs, and customized player trainer IDs/photos.

➡️New Abilities: A wide array of new abilities has been implemented to improve the utility of previously underpowered Pokémon.
