Pokémon Emerald Imperium
A hard, rebalanced Emerald in the spirit of Radical Red: every route and trainer redone, Pokémon from all nine generations, new Megas and plenty of quality-of-life tools.
What it is
Emerald Imperium keeps the Hoenn region but rebuilds Pokémon Emerald around strategic, competitive battles. Every route has been rebalanced, every trainer gets a new team and a custom AI that plays more like a person, and the game is built with Nuzlocke runs in mind.
What's new
- Pokémon from Generations 1 to 9, many with new stats or typings, plus brand-new Mega forms (the Sinnoh starters, Luxray and more) and Gigantamax forms turned into Megas.
- Traveling Gym Leaders and rivals from other regions, and strong optional leaders with unique rewards.
- An easy mode for newcomers, while normal mode is much harder than a mainline game; sleep clause in battles.
- Instant nature changes, an EV/IV editor, DexNav and infinite repel from the menu, autorun, a portable PC, move relearning, reusable TMs and HMs used from the menu, and toggleable following Pokémon.
Version 1.3.1 (September 2025) followed big AI and encounter updates in 1.3.
