Made using Pokemon Essentials v.21.1
Note:

Full game (including all postgame content) releases March 15th, 2026
Trailer down below


STORY:
The Hoenn region is unstable. The Mossdeep Space Center has detected a massive meteorite heading toward the planet. It could strike in months. Maybe even a few short weeks. As tensions rise and disaster looms, the balance between Kyogre and Groudon begins to break down.

You just moved to the Hoenn Region from Johto. Prove your skill by traveling around the Hoenn Region. Earn Gym Badges and prove mastery at the newly founded Battle Frontier. Never before experienced battles await you!
Pokémon Eternal Emerald is a remake of Pokémon Emerald using Pokémon Essentials v21.1. It retells the story of the original GBA game, but also adds extra content from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as well as adding all the quality of life changes from the newer Pokémon Games. This remake also introduces an entirely new villainous team and their mysterious motivations connected to Rayquaza.
Only those who possess the power to summon Rayquaza may have the ability to stop what is coming.

If I forgot anybody in my credits please let me know and I will add you. It isn't my intention to forget anybodys credits.

NOTE-This is a five gym demo and ends once you obtain the MEGA BRACELET from Steven
Your Save File used in the demo will not be usable in the final release as many things have been changed in the process. However if you beat all 5 Gyms in this demo you will get a nice Shiny Mega reward for the full release to use. As well as completing Pokemon Dark Rising Order Destroyed Reborn will give you a a few rewards as well to use.

Cant wait for the update, gonna hold off on a new save until that time.. really hyped about the battle frontier. Hopefully that battle factory rental thing is there :)

any discord link? tried to search but couldnt find one. would love to see progress
The battle factory will for sure since it comes from default essentials. I haven't actually started any of the facilities yet except the battle tower. There is no discord link.

ooo I cant wait! I love doing those end game battles with all the variety :)
 
I don't know if what your progress is on this game but I wanted to ask and I wanted to tell you that after playing through the demo I have to say that the new additions to the game made it more fun to play and not as boring as playing through the original Pokemon Emerald. Sad to hear that my save file for the demo won't be there for the full version. I had a good team. ;(

I've taken a long break working on other projects, but I have finished the main story and have updated all the graphics in the game including the trees, rocks, water, and sand. Also I have updated maps like Petalburg woods and the Mt. Pyre to look better. I don't have a release date, but I will try to finish it. Its not canceled though. If you have any ideas of what I should add I would like to hear other peoples ideas for the final release.

I had an idea, I had no idea of the quests that were added in the game because I just rush to the download link and the screenshots. In the game if you could make it more... 'Visible' that there are quests in the game that you could do then I would love that! Also I encountered some bugs in the game like sometimes whenever I accidently didn't do a double battle but two single battles then one of the trainer's battle music wouldn't show up and ruin the music for the rest of the game. The only way I had to counter this was by healing my Pokemon and then the music would go back to normal. Do you know if the game will be released this year at least?

1. There actually isn't any quests in the demo so you weren't missing out on much.
2. I didn't know about that double battle bug so I will look into it.
3. I will try to release it this year if I can. Depends if I have time. I haven't worked on it for over 3 months.
4. What do you think of the updated Team Sky Grunt sprite.(The other one were bad) This is one of the new things I needed to fix in the final version.

That looks sick! Compared to the other Sky Grunt sprite where it looked identical to Tabitha. This looks sick! I can't wait! Also... If you don't mind I'd like to see some screenshots of the new game. All of this stuff has me very excited for the full release. Also because the demo version was very fun to play through.

I don't have a release date yet for the next version, but I can say that the main story has been fully completed with new areas and ideas.(You can now buy outfits for your character and become a Pokemon Ranger). I have also changed the tilesets and fixed the bugs that appeared in this demo.
Things that are 100% finished as of right now:
  • Pokemon World Tournaments
  • Main Story is complete
  • Elite 4 rematches
I will release the final version once I finish every legendary Pokemon encounter, which will bring you to maps from other games like Eterna Forest from the Sinnoh region for example.

Please note that your save file from this demo will not work in the final version as I used a newer version of Pokemon Essentials to finish creating this game.
 
Thank you! I'm looking forward to it so much!!

Still keeping my eyes peeled on this one.
 
The full version of the game is currently in active development and is planned for release in the near future. Thank you for your patience and the long hiatus. More updates (including details about the final release) will be coming soon.
Here are a few screenshots from the final release for anyone that wants to see some progress.
