Intro
Pokemon Theta Emerald EX is a romhack of Pokemon Emerald that was made by LCCoolJ95 and fully released in 2016. It is a romhack aiming to challenge the player more than normal Pokemon games, and it has plenty of features and changes that make the game much nicer to play.
The game is based completely on Pokemon Emerald and is designed to make the game harder as well as include a bunch of new features mainly from later generations which I shall discuss later. This game does not make any huge changes from the original Pokemon Emerald if you’re talking about story, characters, or things like that. You’re still playing through the normal Pokemon Emerald as far as pure game elements go.
This game is a new, beautiful way to play Pokemon Emerald though and it is a great game to do a Nuzlocke off as well (I personally nuzlocked this game while playing).

Glitches
- To avoid losing your TMs/HMs, it is advisable to steer clear of the Battle Tent.
- Entering a Pokemon Contest may cause the game to freeze.
- Touching the board in the Trainer School in Rustboro can result in the game freezing.
- Teaching your Pokemon Hydro Pump from the boy in Fallarbor Town can cause the game to freeze.
- In Mauville City, the game may freeze when Mareep is sent out by one of the trainers in a double battle. To prevent this, opt for a single battle.
- After completing the game, some new Pokemon may appear on the hall of fame screen as one of the original 386. This could be due to a limiter somewhere.
- When leveling up, some new Pokemon may have a different colored icon if they leveled up outside of battle. A limiter needs to be fixed somewhere to address this issue.
- When selecting multiple Pokemon in a box, some new Pokemon may have a different colored icon. This is another issue related to an unknown limiter.

Conclusion
Pokemon Theta Emerald EX is a great game, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The combination of all the spiffy new features with the increased difficulty of this game makes this a beautiful, new way to experience Pokemon Emerald.
If it were not for some unpolishedness in the game and a bunch of small glitches, this game would be up to a 9/10 or higher, but because of those things disrupting my flow and spoiling my experience a bit, I am going to be giving it an 8 out of 10.
