Do you like Pokémon?

Do you like The Magnus Archives?

Well in that case… I’m very sorry because you really deserve a high quality product made by a qualified industry icon who actually knows what they’re doing and who would be able to build a satisfying game experience from an Emerald decomp with recognisable character so and a whole new engaging storyline.

…

But, like. I made this until that happens.

Archimon Emerald is a revamp of Emerald where every Pokémon has been retyped to one of the fourteen (?) Dread Powers from The Magnus Archives! The region has been updated to make every Pokémon from the first three generations available somewhere within it! Gym leaders have been changed to reflect their new typings, and what Pokémon may or may not be good is an entirely different question!

Fourteen brand new types!- Is there a fifteenth? How should I know? I'm just the dev! Why don't you do Dekker proud and figure that enigma out yourself?

Every Pokémon available!- Not all before the post game, and some of them I was real mean about. But you should be able to fill yourself a full Pokédex if you play your cards right!

Gym leaders!- They're different! They're mean. I sure hope you can figure out their weaknesses!

Hoenn's a really neat region!- So why change it too much? Enjoy the Vast, Lonely oceans of the region you know and love, with a new spin!

Tate and Liza hate you!- They hate you for real and will kill you with hammers!

Here are some screenshots to prove I playtested!

There will be bugs and missteps but they should be minor visual hiccups and things I’ve worked around that I have no idea how else to deal with yet. Contact me if there is anything awful that needs me to try and bash.

Below is a link to a patch to be added to Pokémon Emerald to create the game, as well as a documentation sheet and type chart. Also included is a patch to be added to the game to turn it back into Pokémon Emerald just in case you think it sucks.

Available here and here only until PokeCommunity accepts my post! (even though it’s bad because I could not find a template for what I am meant to be doing)

If I did I got a bad one.

The release version was bugged, and absolutely nothing can carry my save file over to the new, working version. If I want to play this game, I have to do it from the start. For a third time.

I was worried this game would be slow, all the way through, and that I'd get crumbs until the ending or, god forbid, until I catch them all.

But two badges in was all it took for the game to get me, seriously, honestly.

Now if only I could figure out who this Pokémon on the rival's team was based on...

Sadly as I theorised it may, that has killed its custom mini sprite.

And hey look reference to the one thing I get!!!

Game has been fun so far; despite a few quirks.

As someone whose deep knowledge of the genre extends to Madoka Magica and not even the movie there- this should be fun.

I picked Toastmallow.

"In every other gen your starter was a mainstay and the most powerful poke of the type until really late into the game, now the starters suck so bad I ditch them as soon as possible."

-Pokemon Black and White

"No offence, but now I see why they brought back the old starters too!"

-Pokemon X and Y

"However, the designs of the new starter Pokémon feel to me more like an obligation than inspired creations."

-Pokemon Sun and Moon

"It's like they can only make starters using circles. They had improved so much last gen and then we get this."

-Pokemon Sword and Shield

"Am I the only one that thinks the Art is really basic and didn't get much work? Like bruh, even the names are basic as freak. To be honest they blew it this time, I'm sure they could've done better."

-Pokemon Scarlet and Vioket
