Pokemon Emerald Rogue is a GBA Rom Hack Based on Pokemon Emerald in english. And it is now available to download. It was last updated on January 5, 2022.
How does it work?
When you set out on your adventure, all routes, encounters, and items are procedurally chosen based on your progress in the race.
After a certain number of routes, you will encounter a random gym leader who will have a team of his type chosen procedurally. As you progress through the race, gym leaders and other trainers will start using more difficult setups for their pokemon.
If you manage to reach the champion and defeat him, you will have completed the race!
Once you finish or abandon the race, you return to a central area where you can purchase permanent items and catch new “starter” Pokemon that you will use in the next race.
As you progress through the run, you unlock more buildings/CPNPs in this central area, which you can use to prepare for the next run.
Also, be sure to try out Pokemon Emerald.
How long does a run take?
This may vary depending on how thorough you are, but based on my testing, a full run typically takes between 3-4 hours of Pokemon Emerald Rogue gameplay.
There is a quick save option (REST in the menu) which allows you to stop the game mid-game and return to it, but be careful, this does not allow you to skim saves.
