What is PSS (Physical Special Split)???
This version of Pokémon Perfect Emerald has been modified with the Physical-Special Split (PSS).
In the original Pokémon games, a move’s category (physical or special) was determined by its type (e.g., Water-type moves were special, Normal-type moves were physical). The Physical-Special Split changes this system by allowing each move to be independently classified as either physical or special, based on the move’s properties rather than its type.
This greatly improves the strategic depth of battles, as it gives more flexibility to various Pokémon and moves.
If you prefer to experience the game as it was originally designed, without the Physical-Special Split, you can download the “Original” version, which does not include this modification
DAY NIGHT SYSTEM VERSION
The DAY NIGHT SYSTEM version of Pokemon Perfect Water Blue is a modification that adds the day-night system from the game. In Pokemon games, the day-night cycle causes the environment and various in-game elements to change depending on the time of day, affecting events, the appearance of areas.
If your emulator supports RTC (Real Time Clock), use this version. Otherwise, use the normal version in DOWNLOADS.
