Info

Pokémon Emerald Plus is a ROM hack that intends to lightly improve the base game of Pokémon Emerald. This hack seeks to add QOL features and minor improvements to make the game more modern but doesn't make any changes that create a different experience. The goal is just to make an objectively better experience.
