Emerald Challenge Patch
Emerald solo challenges with all 493 starters, SuperMON scoring and level caps, plus 4 Moves mode.
CHANGE LOG
Patch notes
v0.3
- Unlocked all 493 National Dex Pokémon in starter selection. Hold SELECT with Left or Right to move five places at a time.
- Added saved SuperMON scoring and level caps. EXP stops at the current cap, and beating its trainer unlocks the next cap; Rare Candies and Day Care cannot bypass it.
- Pokémon with no second ability now use Ability 1, including existing Pokémon previously assigned an empty second slot. Valid second abilities remain selectable.
- Added the provisional 100-point Emerald SuperMON route, ending with Steven in Meteor Falls. The starting cap is Lv15 before Roxanne.
- In SuperMON, Wallace awards an infinite-use Candy Jar after the League. It follows the Lv78 cap before Steven.
- Removed the orb flashing, screen shaking and orb sound effects from the Archie and Maxie cutscenes.
v0.2
- Added the Generation IV move and mechanics foundation while retaining the established public challenge roster.
- Added a Spinners Off option.
- Fixed Fateful Pokémon handling.
- Updated the player and rival name presets and new-game defaults.
v0.1
- Introduced the setup menu and starter configuration.
- Added optional HM-replacement items.
- Added a temporary gift Magikarp for the Tate & Liza battle.

Development status
This remains an active testing release. All 493 National Dex starters are now available, and Emerald's SuperMON scoring is provisional.
Continuing a run
The ability correction works with an existing save. New SuperMON runs receive the complete saved scoring and cap progression; older builds cannot recover victories they did not record. Keep a backup of your save before updating.
