The creator of this ROM hack, luuma, has asked for all of you to visit the official Pokecommunity thread here, rather than using this page. I, too, encourage you to do the same.
Information
Name: Pokemon Altered Emerald
Type: GBA
Hack of: Emerald
Language: English
Creator: luuma
Description
"What happens when you take (almost) every move and ability from gen 1 to 7, add some new ones to the mix, and then cram them into just 386 Pokémon?
You get a level of meta diversity the main games could only dream of! Over half the abilities are signature abilities, and moves are no different! You can catch all your favourites here, but they might not be quite how you remember them...
On top of that, I've rebalanced and re-teamed the trainers and gym leaders, then freshened up every route in Hoenn and added five new ones. The thing I'm most proud of in the game is the puzzles: they're optional, fair, and absolutely devilish." -luuma
Features
- Redesigned Hoenn
- 417 Pokemon available
- Newer gen moves and abilities
- Rebalanced stats
- Completable Dex
- Physical/Special split

Need a thunderstone.
ReplyDeleteGG Scyther can't learn cut.
ReplyDeleteOk so I exit cycling road where those aqua grunts are somehow it switches my character to one of the grunts and he changed into a copy of me but when I move around I'm not in middle of the screen. Instead I'm like at bottom of the screen and I can't go back to my character so I'm stuck at that angle and Idk what to do to fix this. Please help.
ReplyDeleteIve ran into a similar glitch on pokemon snakewood. Its fixed by leaving the area ans coming back, yet if youre north of the grunts (if its like in the original games) then it might break the game so the smart option is to load up a previous save.
DeletePlease make a game that start new adventure like emereld 3
ReplyDeleteHow do I get to the 2nd badge it's blocked off and I'm confused
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but do know many things were changed from the original Emerald. If you can't figure it out, I'd suggest asking the creator on the Pokecommunity page (linked above)
Deletethe file is not showing up on GBC A.D emulator
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that one, but this game won't run on a gbc emulator- you need a gba emulator. If that emulator does support gba games, try redownloading and/or unzipping the file.
DeleteWhat's the difference btwn hard version and the one above it? And also if I load old save in new file using my boy (on my tablet) would it work with new update without having to patch or what not?
ReplyDeleteAlso great site btw,could be a little more organized with filters but still an awesome site,find my self here always looking for something new to play, great job man
There's no description given by the creator but I think the hard version is the exact same as the regular version, but harder..
DeleteYeah, I'm pretty sure you can use older saves. Unless your emulator supports loading saves from files, I think the best way to tranfer the save is to rename the old .sav file to match the newer one (gamev1.sav -> gamev2.sav). Just save in a Pokemon Center before doing so.
And thanks for the positive feedback! I agree, this site needs some work..
I cant play my old data forget this game i am not restarting every update never playing again
DeleteI figured it out on android my old boy you just name the save file in storage the name of update and it takes that data
DeleteDrama queen.
DeleteDid they fix the crash when vs. the 6th gym?
ReplyDeleteIt's not in the patch notes, so I don't think so. Please give me some details so I can report it.
DeleteIn the first batch, whenever you vs. wether a trainer or the gym leader(s) the game would crash, or randomly freeze
DeleteI'm stuck. After I beat may on way to fortree city I don't know where to go to get to the city.
ReplyDelete"use route 118 to get to route 123 and follow that route, you will eventually end up at mt. Pyre, pass it with surf to get to fortree"
DeleteAre there any cheat codes that work for this game?
ReplyDeleteProbably Emerald codes.
DeleteOk btw I just received a bad egg but it just got it randomly as I got into the game again
DeleteSometimes cheats that don't work properly can do that. Try going back to an earlier save.
DeleteI'll just start over
DeleteBtw I have a execcute. So what moves will it learn by level up?
DeleteIt wasn't mentioned in the changes, so it should be the same as in the Gen 3 games.
DeleteOk just wondering when it uses a psychic type move I got it to like level 25 but still no psychic type moves.
ReplyDeleteSee this.
DeleteAre there any cheat codes for TMs. I can't find any
DeleteI have no idea, sorry. You could try using Emerald ones, but it might mess up the game like last time.
DeleteWhere is shuckle located I want one?
ReplyDeleteUse Rock Smash on Route 118.
DeleteI don't like how the victory road is. First is the puzzle you have with those magnemite. Second it's confusing and you get lost quick and third is going through one of the ladders you'll end up at rusburf cave and you can't return to victory road
ReplyDeleteSo I started a new game cause I was trapped in a area. Anyway I made it to lilycove city and went to see move deleters house and my crawdaught knows the move surf but every time I try to delete the move it keeps saying my pokemon don't want to get rid of the move or something like that. Why can't I delete the move? Please help
ReplyDeleteWeird. I'll ask the creator, but he doesn't come online very often.
DeleteOk thanks
DeleteMy eevee evolved into a jynx at lvl. 9
DeleteHey what's the building next to pokemon center in slateport city for?
ReplyDeleteI don't remember which one you're talking about. The creator said he added a place for link trading in a recent version. Maybe that's it?
DeleteThe tunnel to get to peeko doesn't work
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "doesn't work"? A lot of things were changed from Emerald. Maybe you're supposed to do something else? Ask on Pokecommunity (link above) if you're stuck.
DeleteI mean it won't let me in the tunnel
DeleteSorry, I'm not sure. Please try asking on Pokecommmunity.
DeleteCould've added in the fact that there are different starters lol
ReplyDeleteDoes corphish evolve in this game?
ReplyDeleteIt should. Maybe check the list of changes to be sure.
DeleteAny idea why when I use wing attack, it says "but it failed"
ReplyDeleteDoes it happen all the time, or only versus a specific type Pokemon? If you want, I can report this.
DeleteDoes It has new choises for Starters? (Or Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip as Emerald)
ReplyDeleteNew starters- Shroomish/Vulpix/Corphish.
DeleteWhy does eevee evolve into jynx??
ReplyDeleteWeird, I'll report this to the creator.
Delete...you say you do this but as far as I'm aware you have never done so.
DeleteSounds like a bullshit game a lot of bugs in it
ReplyDeleteNowadays it's pretty good. Yay.
DeleteKnuckle san , when wally version is finished , i want to know completely wally journey please more update
ReplyDeleteI don't know when, but the next update will go until the league.
DeleteHow do you get to the tar pits? Regardless if i go to route 123, or next to pacifilog town, it doesnt seem to ultimately get me there
ReplyDeleteI'll ask the creator and let you know if he replies.
Delete"Route 135 is directly south of Mt pyre. Check the region map."
DeleteWhere can I find dive??
ReplyDelete"Route 135, south of Mt. Pyre."
DeleteMy eve evolved into a jinx
ReplyDeleteAnd im stuck in dewford
That should've been fixed a long time ago. Which version are you playing? There was actually anothere update which slipped past me last week, so maybe update to that.
DeleteI'm not sure about Dewford; try asking one the Pokecommunity page.
How can i evolve dratini?
ReplyDeleteIs it not at level 30 like the original games?
DeleteCan anyone tell me what is the rom ini of this hack so that I can make my bases?
ReplyDeleteYou should ask the creator himself. There's a link to the Pokecommmunity page above.
DeleteI just started, but i cant heal at pokemon centers. Is that supposed to be a thing?
ReplyDeleteIf you're talking about the one in Oldale, that's a bug other people have experienced as well. If it happens in other PCs, either report the bug on the Pokecommunity page (link above), or tell me and I will.
DeleteNever mind. The creator just released an update where he claims to have fixed it.
Deletewhy my treecko doesnt evolve to grovyle at lv 16 :(
ReplyDeleteTreecko/Torchic/Mudkip evolve at Lv20 now.
Deleteoh wow okay thanks dude keep up the good work
DeleteWhere to find Moon stone? I want to evolve my Eevee to Umbreon. ;w;
ReplyDeleteTry around Route 111 with the Itemfinder
DeleteOkay~
DeleteAnd uh.. I can't seem to get away from Dewford, I already give the letter to Steven and then I talk to Mr, Briney but I can't go to Petalburg or Slatepord, he just stood there after I click, the boat went missing though.
And I've already beat the gym.
DeleteYeah, that seems to be a bug in the latest update. You can confirm by looking at the last posts in the Pokecommunity page (link above).
DeleteI don't think it's possible to progress at the moment. You can download the previous version here which I'm assuming doesn't have the bug. You can load your save into that and try to get out of Dewford. But that may cause compatibility issues with future updates.
I can't cross over to route 118 it won't let me. Why is that??
ReplyDeleteYou posted this question on both Emerald Advanced and Altered Emerald. Which one are you talking about?
DeleteCan you please add Pokemon Furious Flames
ReplyDeleteIt's on the ROM Hacks List.
DeleteOh sorry didn't see it when scrolling through haha well thanks
DeleteThere's a bug with the nurse joy in oldale town she won't do anything when I try to talk to her and another is in petalburg city I can't get in the pokemon center because a lady is blocking the door so I went to the pokemon mart beside it and got trapped just as I walked in and I can't leave I'm stuck in same spot and I can't move anywhere so that how far I gotten before I just stopped and now I have to start over because of it
ReplyDeleteI though that bug was fixed. Are you playing the latest one (2.2.7)?
DeleteAnyways, I'll tell the creator.
I'm not sure if I updated to newer version yet but I'll download it just in case
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find a heart scale or a cheat code for it?
ReplyDeleteLuvdiscs might hold them. Cheats should be the same as Emerald (here).
DeleteIs victory road bugged ? I cant go trough the ice "room"
ReplyDeleteNot sure, sorry. Try asking on Pokecommunity (link above) or watching a walkthrough on Youtube.
DeleteNo dude, I was able to clear it all the way. Remember that, as on the original emerald, there are several ways to get through it, try taking different ways, specially with the waterfalls inside the cave.
DeleteI can't evolve my Shroomish, it's already in level 30. And it's not holding everstone or any item... Help?
ReplyDeleteStrange, I'm not sure what the problem might be. If the evolution starts and then stops, it's probably because you haven't got the National Dex. But that's probably not applicable here.
DeleteTry asking the creator on Pokecommunity (link above).
It seems other people are having similar problems. Wait for a bugfix to be released.
DeleteIt worked. I was desperate, since according to the guide, it started in level 30. But I only had to wait one more level... xD. I've already cleared the Elite Four and League. It was a good experience playing Emerald with those new and interesting routes.
DeleteThough, I found a glitch, a big one, on the Victory Road, there is a ladder that you take, that links Victory Road with Rusturf Tunnel, Cave Of Origin (or the cave were you find Kyogre with the people of wheather institute, don't rememnber) and I don't remember which other caves. But the game did not freeze or anything. You can just go back to normal game with an escape rope. It all started in the Victory Road.
The other cave you go after Rusturf Tunnel is Seafloor Cavern!.
DeleteHow did you get out of victory road?
DeleteWhere are you stuck? If it's in magnemites I'd have to do it again, where you have 3 magnemites for one bridge, in order from left to right:
Delete1. You have to move the third one from left to rigth (the furthest from the ladder) but before, move the one in the middle,the second one two spaces to the left, now go to the third one two spaces to the left then 6 spaces up you put the third one on the first blue spot.
2.Move the first one, the one closest to the ladder three right, three right, two left, two left, three right and two down.
3. Then the one in the middle, move it three up, two right, two right, two down, three up, two left, two down, and finally three up.
Then you open the bridge and fight against a cool trainer, go to the ladder and get to ice part, go down and to the left, Surf, go up, back to the ice and go rigth, try to get to the space that is down the rock on the corner, then slide all to the left, down, right, up, left and down, you should be in front of the water again, surf, get trough the two cooltrainers, then just follow the way, there is no obstacle left, be careful because some cooltrainers are bugged and if you talk to them it freezes the game. So if the don't react as you walk in front of them, just go trough and there you see the exit!
Can i evolve Eevee into Sylveon?
ReplyDeleteThis hack doesn't add any new Pokemon, so you can't get Sylveon.
DeleteWhere do I get a thunderstone?
ReplyDeleteIt seems you can only find them later in the game. The earliest one is on route 110, accessible by surfing to a little patch of land just behind New Mauville.
DeleteOh ok I was gonna see if the Transkitt evolved from it cause I was not sure if it evolve or not
DeleteAnd I have a pokemon called Transkitt does it evolve or not?
ReplyDeleteNo, from the info given, it doesn't look like it evolves.
Deleteis there a mega evolution in this game altered emerald and where can i find a mega stone if available.. Thanks..
ReplyDeleteNo mega evolution in this hack.
Deletehey knuckle san
Deletethis is a very useful resource you run, and i appreciate you have genuinely put some effort into formatting and altering the shitload of information I hand typed to everyone, but can you please for the love of god direct people to my actual thread.
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=386229
The fact you have uploaded everything here is a complete fucking pain in the ass for me
Not only is the rom you have uploaded outdated, you're also getting a lot of comments, feedback and bug reports that I'm not being made aware of. That just hurts me in the long run.
If you're really doing this for the good of rom hacks, divert people to where their curators actually are, rather than just stealing my shit without notifying me.
First off, this probably won't be very well written as I'm pretty sleepy right now. It'll probably be very disjoint and unfocused.
DeleteI apologize for not seeking your permission to put this here. The thing is, the people who frequent this site expect every single hack to be on here, and it's kind of obvious that most hack creators are against this kind of blatant plagiarism. Before, this site was just a one-page list where I linked to ROMs for people who couldn't patch themselves. I only started making pages and stuff due to visitor demand. I know this isn't an excuse or anything, but yeah.
Another thing is that this site is one of the smaller ones of this type. Its presence is kind of negligible compared to the likes of Pokemoner and Nicoblog (which is why the original creators, like yourself, don't usually find this place). I bet the guys who run those sites are not nearly as accommodating as I am either.
I also never claim that I have anything to do with the making of these hacks, and usually clarify when needed. I usually direct people to Pokecommunity, but you'd be surprised by the number of people who don't understand the site/can't make an account.
About it being outdated- completely sorry about that. I religiously check Pokecommunity every day, but this must have slipped me by.
And, lastly, I apologize for shoddily throwing everything together here. I've updated the page to the newer layout I use, so it's not as much of an eyesore. It's not great, I know, and I'm sure you don't approve of it, but it's kind of all I can do with the limited time I have.
Please take all download links down. there's a perfectly functional megaupload link on the pokecommunity page itself, right now I just feel like I'm losing out on feedback on my rom page.
ReplyDeleteNext time ask. As it is, unless you edit the original post, I am going to spam this thread.
DeleteEveryone please check out my actual official thread here
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=386229
As I stated in the above comment, the visitors if this site kind of expect every ROM to be here. It's kind of a come, click a link, then get the hell out of here site. They expect a ready-to-play ROM and I'd like to give them that. If not this place, they'll go back to Google and click on the next site.
DeleteI've placed a message on top of the download links so that every person is offered the choice to go to the PC thread. I'll also do my best in keeping the ROM up-to-date from now on, and I hope that's enough.
Im stuck after beating the 7th gym. The diver whos usually in route 135 isnt there anymore. Is there a trigger for this?
ReplyDeleteYeah, a couple of people have reported that-
Delete"Hi! I’ve looked through the entire thread and I still need help! I have 7 badges, and I spoke to Steven about getting HM Dive. He tells me to go to the Tar Pit south of Mt. Pyre, but I went and there’s no pink haired girl waiting for me. I even looked for her in the surrounding routes and spoke to everyone in the Tar Pit."
"Can someone help me, please? I've beaten the Mossdeep Gym and talked to Steven. I went to Tar Pit to find the pink-haired girl to get HM08 and I can't find her. I've poked around Advanced Map to check if I've missed any spots and I did find her in A-Map but when I go inside my game, she's not there, at all. Should I do something else first or what? ;-;
edit: got impatient so I just made a new sprite in advanced map and ported the script in that sprite. got hm08 dive now :)"
It may be a bug. Do try reporting it on the Pokecommunity thread.
Which one should i download
ReplyDeleteGet v2.55. I've removed the older one.
DeleteIs this game in compeleted version yet?
ReplyDeleteImprovement hacks like this don't really ever get completed. You can always add/change more stuff. But you can beat the game, yes.
DeleteOk thanks again :)
Deletev3.02:
ReplyDelete- Lots of bug fixes
Hey knuckle San can I get version 2.55 to download
ReplyDeleteSure, here's a Mediafire link- Link
DeleteThanks man, means a lot
DeleteHOW DO I GET A YANMEGA?
ReplyDeleteim pretty sure no new pokemon are added
Deletefrom newer gens i mean
Deletejust found out there are nevermind oof
DeleteYou probably need to evolve a Yanma, but I'm not sure how exactly in this hack.
DeleteAnd yeah, I should probably get around to updating the features list hehe..
Also, there's an update out, and I will upload when I get home.
My Yanma learned AncientPower at lvl 49, way higher than I expected. but it DOES learn ancientpower.
DeleteHow do i get TM26 Earthquake? Its not in the Deepsea Cavern
ReplyDeleteSorry, I couldn't find any info on that. Please try asking on the Pokecommunity thread.
DeleteHey Knuckle SAN, I noticed that my swellow is a normal flying and not a fighting flying. Also it has guts ability and not gale wings.
ReplyDeleteWell, the screenshots here are from when the game originally came out a long time ago, so maybe Swellow was changed back. The abilities doc does say that it can have Guts or Gale Wings. And apparently there's an ability switcher in Mauville.
DeleteAlso there is a new update 3.0.4
ReplyDeleteOops. Didn't see that.
DeleteNew update out today. It's 3.0.5. Biggest change is Nature Power now functions as every single overworld HM. Nature Power is a TM that can be found on Route 110.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the head's up.
DeleteThat sounds pretty amazing.
Delete3.05c is out. Ty K San. Ur doing God's work.
ReplyDeletelol I don't know about that, but thanks for the update. And sorry for delay; I'm a little busy nowadays.
DeleteHow do u catch regigas, I already caught the alpha regis and went to altering cave but could not find anything can you pls help me
ReplyDeleteSorry, I couldn't find any info. There should be some kind of clue in Altering Cave.
DeleteIs there anyway to catch Feebas in this hack? Really love it since beginning and greats stats
ReplyDeleteIt's not in the locations document, but somebody mentioned this on the PC thread-
Delete"It's the same deal as the original games: 4(?) random tiles on Route 119 and fish with any rod( I recommend the old rod)."
okay thanks haha i thought its gonna be easier ini this hack
Deletewhere's the old rod anyway, i only got good rod ?
DeleteHave you checked Dewford? Also, I found this-
Delete"made the fishermen who give you rods run round in circles so it's clear where they are."
done thanks knuckle san
Deletehow to make pidgeot learn zap cannon?
ReplyDeleteUnless it was changed in this hack, I don't think Pidgeot can learn that move.
DeleteHelp VBA cant run the game file. When i load up the game file the screen just go white
ReplyDeleteLook in the folder where the rom is, and delete the .sav file with the same name as the rom. Then open the emulator without the rom and Options -> Emulator -> Save Type -> Flash 128k. Now it should load fine.
DeleteI need help in Mauville and I cant get rock smash.
DeleteThat's weird. Nobody else has reported this. I'm assuming you checked the house near the mart? If so, please ask on the Pokecommunity thread for this hack.
DeleteWell the house is blocked off in Mauville and I can't find the person that gives me rock smash
DeleteTalk to everybody possible I guess.
DeleteSo where can I find the person that gives me rock smash and how do I get into the house that's blocked off by a fence?
Deletenever mind i found him. He was next to the bike parking.
DeleteWhy did they change the starters to mudkip, treeco, and torchic?
ReplyDeleteNot sure why, but the starters were changed back a long time ago (since version 2.3 or something).
DeleteI like using corphish it was pretty strong
DeleteSo did I... I've still got the old version that had that and the old maps tho, if ya'd like, and I can figure out how to send that your way...
DeleteIt's ok
Deletewhere can i catch togepi. been searching for him in rusturf tunnel for hours?
ReplyDeleteThe creator may have forgotten to update its location. Please try asking on the Pokecommunity thread.
DeleteHow to get a lucky egg?? Where in route 119?
ReplyDeleteSomeone on Pokecommunity commented that he found one on a wild Chansey. Not sure about Route 119.
DeleteI am stuck in the firey path where it branches out to an new path and you need to use Srength to carry on and I did the wrong pattern and now it's not letting me out or move any bolders else where. Help!
ReplyDeleteIf you have an earlier save, that's probably your best option. If it's genuinely a bug, you may have to use the walk-through-walls cheat (the Emerald one should work). Please also report this on the Pokecommunity thread, with a screenshot if possible.
DeleteThank yo so much Knuckle San. It worked!
DeleteHow to evolve kadabra?
ReplyDeleteLv36 most probably. "Evolve trade evos that require items by just levelling them up while holding that item, and evolve all other trade evos at lv36 (or evolve gengar by happiness at night)"
DeleteKnuckle San, I'm in the Magma Hidout and whenever I get into a battle with the Grunts, they kick me out? Is there another way to get to the team leaders and/or fight them and not get kicked out?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Haven't played this but I believe you're supposed to sneak by the grunts. Here's some advice I found-
Delete"You have to figure out the patterns they're walking in, and then try to make sure you walk (don't run or they're going to spot you 100%), by when they're not looking into your direction/walking away from you. Abusing savestates helps a lot here."
Thanks!
DeleteWhat's raichu base stats?
ReplyDeleteSee the doc above
Deletehp/atk/def/satk/sdef/speed: 60 120 60 80 100 90
Yes,yes I'm just kidding hahahaha!
ReplyDelete
