Emerald Enhanced is not just another Pokémon game; it’s a weekly updated BETA that promises to redefine your Pokémon gaming experience. With a plethora of new features, from additional starter options to a hardcore difficulty setting, this game is set to challenge and entertain both new and veteran players. Let’s dive into what makes Pokémon Emerald Enhanced so special.
A PLETHORA OF STARTER OPTIONS
Emerald Enhanced has expanded the starter Pokémon options from the usual three to a whopping seven! Players can now choose from Vulpix, Beldum, Mareep, Ralts, Spinarak, Gastly, and Tentacool. And these aren’t just your regular starters; they’ve been modified to ensure they can hold their own in battles.
HARDCORE GAMING FOR THE BRAVE
For those who love a challenge, the new hardcore difficulty is a game-changer. Forget about using the Pokecenter; you’ll have to rely on Marts, but with a catch – the money you gain is slashed to 15%. If your Pokémon faints, it’s gone for good. Plus, battles are tougher with you dealing 20% less damage and your opponent hitting 20% harder. Think you’re up for it?
CUSTOMIZED BATTLE EXPERIENCES
Emerald Enhanced introduces further battle customization. Unique to EE, players can now enjoy customized abilities, IVs, and Hidden Power for trainer battles and the battle frontier. This feature ensures that no two battles are the same, offering a fresh experience every time.
FOLLOWERS: YOUR TRUSTY SIDEKICKS
New to the Pokémon world, followers will aid you in battles against the Elite Four and in Title Defense. Current followers include Shelly, Lanette, and a new NPC named Minnie. If they ever get misaligned, a simple trick using the Start Menu will get them right back behind you.
POKÉ BALL CHANGER: STYLE YOUR CATCH
Located in the Lilycove Department Store on the 5th Floor, the Ball Changer NPC allows players to change the Poké Ball their Pokémon resides in. For a mere 10,000 Pokédollars and the corresponding ball, you can ensure your Pokémon is housed in style.
AUTOSCALING AND MORE: KEEPING THINGS FRESH
Wild Pokémon encounters and Trainers now scale according to the number of badges you own, ensuring the game remains challenging and engaging. Additionally, after your first victory, you’ll face the Elite 4 rematch parties. And for the perfectionists, the Genetic Code Mapping System at the Space Center allows players to get an egg with perfect IVs and a desired nature.
In conclusion, Pokémon Emerald Enhanced is not just a game; it’s an experience. With its myriad of features and constant updates, it promises endless hours of fun, challenge, and entertainment. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned Pokémon trainer, this game has something for everyone. So, are you ready to embark on this enhanced journey?
