Real time battles inside Pokémon Emerald

by germanburgardt

I wanted real time battles in Pokémon Emerald, so I built them. Move your Pokémon, dodge attacks and break objects. Still the original GBA game, keeping damage, experience and saves. This clip shows different attack effects, smarter enemies and a pause menu to pick moves. Built with AI assistance on pret's Emerald decompilation in C. Pokémon sprites come from credited PMD resources. Play it with your own Emerald ROM.
