About this version

It’s been a long, arduous journey, but now it’s ready for release! v7.41 has some bug fixes and some fun new features that I’m really excited about (detailed in the “New in this version” section) and some fun stuff planned for the future. Future versions shouldn’t have nearly as many problems as the main problem with this version was bug fixes. For those who want to know: The BAD EGG bug was caused by the surf script of all things… Fortunately, this bug has been fixed! One new addition worth noting is that there is now an item that allows you to fly, making traveling around the map much easier.

For compatibility

As always, Emerald Final is compatible with vanilla saves, however Deluxe saves cannot be imported back into Legacy or a vanilla ROM unless all new generation moves are deleted. This also means that vanilla links are compatible as long as no new moves are involved in trade/combat.
Saves can be easily transferred between both versions of Deluxe and from Legacy or Vanilla to Deluxe.

Altering Cave is now an EV Training area, just interact with the signs inside the cave to initiate battles with Pokemon that give 2 EVs each and no more random encounters inside. The reason for it being 2 EVs is since the points give a stat point at every 4 EVs, so you can use the Macho Brace to have it be one battle per stat increase. There is also an NPC to heal your pokemon and show EV/IVs inside the cave.
