Introducing
Pokemon Emerald++ is my first ever ROM hack based on the pokeemerald decomp. Thanks to everyone who contributes to it (and the expansion)! I couldn’t have done this without that foundation. I started this ROM hack back in August as a fun way to learn the ins-and-outs of the decomp and idea after idea snowballed it into a full project. Is it unique? …probably not, I’m sure there’s tons and tons of “Emerald but better/modern” hacks out there, but I honestly didn’t even know about them until I was well into this project. My hope is that, even though this may not stand out as unique, it will still be a fun “modded” Emerald experience. I hope you enjoy!

Special Thanks
A special thank you to everyone listed (and many who were not listed but contributed to the simple modifications thread)! I have learned so much since starting this project. There are a few bugs, but I think I’m done working on this for right now. I have other ideas I want to get to (and also art school :D). Truly I wanted to make a game that I’d enjoy playing, and I think I’ve done just that, so that’s enough for me. I hope you enjoy!
