No doubt some of you are asking “what the heck is Pokémon Emerald Randomizer”? Well, what we have here is a really cool way for people to experience Pokémon Emerald. In case you did not know, Emerald was the enhanced version of Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire which was originally released on the Nintendo Gameboy Advance all the way back in 2005.
Is This A Brand New Game?
Hmm, well no it is not. Look at the time I thought that Pokémon Emerald was a good game, but let’s be honest. When it comes to enhanced versions of Pokémon games, Emerald perhaps offered the least amount of extra content that any other enhanced Pokémon game had offered. What we have here with this Pokémon Emerald Randomizer is a way to make the events of Emerald more “random” I know it sounds weird, but it is kind of cool.
Where Is It?
Well, I will be playing the ever popular Pokemon Emerald game. First of all, I am playing a randomizer. That means every pokemon on the route will be completely randomized, including starters. I'm also doing a nuzlocke. Here are the rules of a nuzlocke: 1.) You can only catch the first pokemon on each route. Jan 05, 2005 Pokemon Emerald Randomizer (Hack) GBA ROM Download. Languages: English. For Nintendo GameBoy Advance. Pokemon Emerald Randomizer. Just for funsies one day, I decided to make a quick tool to take an old pokemon game from one of my favorite generations. Pokemon emerald cheats, codes. Welcome to my Pokemon Emerald Randomizer Nuzlocke! This will be a standard randomized ruzlocke, where only the first Pokemon on each route can be caught,.
Once you have installed the Pokémon Emerald Randomizer you will notice that things are different. This program will randomize the starter Pokémon and the items they have! It will also randomize all of the other Pokémon that you will encounter in the game so you never know what the heck will show up and where. This little bit of unpredictability really does make the game that extra bit exciting.
If you have played the heck out of Ruby, Sapphire and even the original version of Emerald then you will certainly like how this keeps you on your toes. The actual Pokémon themselves are changed to ranging from their move’s stats, pallets and so on.
More Randomness!
While the main aspect of this has to be the way it randomizes the Pokémon. It actually tinkers with many other aspects of the game too. Items are now randomized too, not just where they are found in the wild, but in shops as well in terms of their availability and also how many of them there are. The way characters talk can now be different to thanks to the way they are referred to changing. It is pretty crazy the number of things that this can change ranging from the more obvious such as the Pokémon themselves to the items and even things like your Pokedex!
I will admit that something like the Pokémon Emerald Randomizer is really only aimed at those of us who are diehard Pokémon fans. It is very well done and while it does take a bit of work to install, I do think that it is worth checking out if you are a fan of the series. I will be honest and say that if you are not someone who has played through Ruby, Sapphire and the main version of Emerald. I would suggest playing one of those (preferably Emerald) first before you play this.

The drive link is at the bottom of the post, I want you to read the...thingy? Paragraph? Idk I just woke up, just read the stuff I wrote
Alright things you should know
this drive is a download link, it doesn't need for you to go through a sketchy ad and download a sketchy file. It takes you to the shareable google drive I made to download a .gba file called Pokemon Emerald Randomized (.gba is the game in case you didn't know). Oh and the game isn't automatically randomized so if you restart the game, you'll have the same starters and the same pokemon showing up, if you want a new set then just pm me and we can talk it out
Things you need before downloading it
You need a GBA emulator, they're extremely easy to get and you can even it get on the play store for free, I think it's also on IOS but don't quote me on that. Maybe if you request it, I'll randomize older games like fire red or something (I can also randomize ds games but you're gonna have to find the emulator for that yourself, but be warned ds games are rather strong and it makes my laptop lag so...I don't know how it'll fair on your phone)
Why am I doing this?
When I didn't have laptop I've always wanted to play a randomizer, I got the randomizing program but it doesn't work on mobile ;-; so when I finally got a laptop I decided to randomize my games and have a blast, I emailed it to some friends and even work on their mobile devices to...why not make it public? I'm not some sort of programming genius but I'm just sharing the game to others who don't have a laptop or afraid of downloading the program.
What's randomized?
A lot of stuff is randomized and I don't wanna list them all so I'll post a picture of the settings for each randomization.
Stuff that's randomized
Alright so I can't find the settings I picked so I'll just type it out.
You find a set of random pokemon in each area so a single route may have like...4? Different pokemon (unless it's like...the whimser cave, then it'll only have 1 random pokemon)
The items are random including the ones on the field (btw I banned bad items on the field so you won't be getting like...mail or anything)
Pokemon Emerald Randomizer Cia
Pokemon that need to be traded can evolve normally (like...through level while holding an item, idk what they are so you can google that)
You can run indoors
You get the national dex at the start
Pokemon have random abilities
Trainers have a random pokemon and they're all fully evolved at level 40
The in game trades are random for given and received pokemon
TM and HMs are fully compatible, I don't know what this means but I marked it anyway
Random catching tutorial so wally is gonna get something fancy
Lowercase pokemon names so they won't be all caps, it'll be like 'Pikachu' Instead of 'PIKACHU'
I think your rival carries their random pokemon through the entire game unless I didn't mark that, that'll be a surprise for you :)
