Important Note
This game has been divided into 3 parts. Part 1 is here along with Part 2 link. Part 3 link is added on the page where you will play Part 2.
This fan-made Emerald hack kicks off an adventure that’s split into three separate ROMs. The game was simply too big to squeeze into one version, so the creator divided it into parts—but don’t worry, your save file carries over perfectly from one to the next.
Right from the start, you’ll notice this isn’t the same old Hoenn. Every trainer has been reworked to be stronger and smarter, forcing you to actually think about type matchups and battle strategies. The difficulty is higher than the original game, but it never crosses into unfair territory—no teams stacked with legendaries, no level-100 monsters out of nowhere. It’s a tougher journey, but still balanced.
The hack keeps the feel of classic Emerald with the same moves, stats, and items, but spices things up with a wider range of Pokémon to catch and new challenges sprinkled along the way. Some powerful Pokémon won’t be available right at the beginning, so you’ll need to work your way through the gyms and routes before you get your hands on them.
Part 1 sets the stage: choose your starter, take on the first gyms, and get used to the new difficulty curve. With everything in English and designed for smooth play, it’s an easy entry into a fresh, more demanding take on Emerald.
