Pokemon Flora Sky : Remake Version (beta 1)

Introduction: Pokémon Flora Sky: Remake Version (beta 1) is a fan-made ROM hack of Pokémon Emerald for the Game Boy Advance. It is an updated version of the original Flora Sky hack, featuring the new region of Oly and a story centered on the clash between the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. The visual style uses Emerald's base graphics with new maps, sprites, and tiles.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The hack retains the physical/special split from later generations and includes Pokémon from Generations I through IV. Starter choices are Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup from Sinnoh. The difficulty is moderate, with a higher-level curve than the base game, making it suitable for players seeking a challenge but not specifically designed as a Nuzlocke. Key mechanical changes include the addition of the Fairy type, a functional day/night cycle, and the ability to use Running Shoes indoors.

Key Features:

• An expanded Pokédex featuring over 300 Pokémon from the first four generations, including many evolutions and pre-evolutions not native to Hoenn.
• A new storyline with original characters, rivals, and Gym Leaders set across the Oly region, which includes areas like the Sky Fortress.
• Quality-of-life improvements such as reusable TMs, the inclusion of moves and abilities from Generation IV, and the removal of trade evolutions for certain Pokémon.

As a beta release, players may encounter occasional bugs or incomplete areas, but it represents a significant overhaul of the original Emerald experience.
