Description
Pokemon Mu Magma (pronounced Mew Magma) is a rom hack of Pokemon Emerald that lets you play as a male or female Team Magma Grunt, with custom sprites, story changes, and many QOL changes to boot.
Features
- All of the base features of pokeemerald-expansion version 1.9 including PSS, fairy type, and modern learnsets
- Reusable TMs
- Gen 5-style popups when you enter new areas of the map
- Gen 6-style Exp. Share as a key item given you in Petalburg Woods like in ORAS
- Mega Evolution with several Mega Stones available as items you can collect
- With this in mind, the Items pocket of the bag can now hold up to 42 items (similar to FRLG) instead of the default 30
- Pressing B toggles run instead of needing to be held to run
- Any Pokemon you’re traveling with can use a field move as long as the HM for it is in your bag
- The Cleanse Tag will let you avoid all wild encounters if it’s held by any of your Pokemon, and you can find one from the start of the game on your PC
- Switch between the mach bike and acro bike at any time by pressing R
- Pokemon now have soft level caps to encourage you to use different ones, especially early in the game
- You get the S.S. Ticket halfway through the game instead of in the postgame, letting you go directly from Slateport to Lilycove and travel to previously champion-exclusive and event-exclusive locations (including, of course, the one where you encounter Mew)
Dex Completion
All Hoenn Pokemon from the Gen III games can be acquired either through wild encounters or evolution, and the nine forms introduced in the Gen IV games can be caught as well. All three starter Pokemon and any trade exclusive Pokemon can also be caught in the wild, so fully completing this game’s regional dex by yourself should be possible. Gengar is also in Hoenn now because I like Gengar. The game’s full encounter table can be found here.
There are also several changes to dialogue and characterization tweaks to account for the fact that you’re a Magma Grunt and to make the hack feel a bit more unique. This isn’t a complete story overhaul like some of the other villain hacks, as I wanted to preserve as much of the original gameplay as possible, but there will be some surprises. If you decide to try this hack, please let me know what you think, and if anything breaks, definitely let me know then so I can try and fix it.
Changelog October 01, 2024
I’ve updated the wild encounters in the game so some of the rarer Pokémon like Mawhile, Seedot, etc. can be found in more locations based on where they could be found in Ruby/Sapphire. The full list of changes is in the spoiler below:
- Mawhile added to Granite Cave, Cave of Origin, and Sky Pillar
- Lunatone added to Meteor Falls (Land and Water)
- Machop added to Route 112 (Land)
- Seedot added to Route 114 (Land)
- Surskit added to Route 114 (Water)
- Surskit added to Route 117 (Water)
- Surskit added to Route 120 (Water)
