This is a feature branch for pokeemerald-expansion I've been working on for over a month that implements a graphical start menu inspired by the one from Pokémon Unbound. It uses sprites for start menu entries and is meant to be easily extensible so users can change the icons, or add new items. Credits here.

Features

• Rearrange icons freely during gameplay.
• Compatible with the Day Night System in expansion.
• Handles flash darkness properly.
• Easily extensible should you want to add more items.

Note: This isn't ready for release yet

Trial Raids are implemented now! It's a custom challenge where you fight hard bosses for optional rewards. In Trial Raids, bosses have access to extra health, moves and actions similar to raids in other games.

On a side note this framework makes it easy to mix and match raid mechanics to create your own custom raids. Will be released after I release my this romhack.

Hey everyone! 👋

I want to share something I’ve been pouring myself into: a big overhaul of the Gen 6 CTRPluginFramework — a .3gx plugin for Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on the 3DS (via Luma3DS).

SELECT opens the menu over your game

I’ll be upfront: I’m not a programmer. I’m just a curious player who’s good at testing and thinking hard about problems. Every feature here started as a real itch I hit while playing — “there should be a way to…” — and I built it out, piece by piece, in back-and-forth with Claude. The goal wasn’t to make the most powerful cheat tool; it was to make one that anyone can actually understand.

What that means in practice:

• Every feature is named in plain language, and every single option has an info (i) button that explains it.
• There’s a 23-page guide built right into the plugin, written like a guided tour, not a manual.
• The whole UI is available in 7 languages: 🇺🇸 English · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇯🇵 Japanese · 🇧🇷 Portuguese (BR) · 🇪🇸 Spanish.
• One .3gx serves all four Gen 6 games — it auto-detects which one you’re running and loads tailored content.

A quick tour of what’s inside (you open everything with SELECT):

• 🔍 Wild Pokémon Spawner — a live, filtered list of every species; pick one (form, level, shiny) and it appears in the grass.
• 🐉 Respawn Legendary — sends any legendary back to its real location.
• 🛒 PokéMart Anywhere — a real shop in your bag, with a FREE mode and a PAY mode (prices, cart, checkout — you can never overspend).
• 📦 PC Box ++ — your boxes as a visual sprite grid, with a full tabbed editor (IVs/EVs, moves, ability, item, ball…) — all picked from on-screen lists, no keyboard typing.
• ⚔️ In-Battle Tools — Enemy Helper coaches you on the foe (what beats it, stat-by-stat compare), Change Party Stats edits your team mid-fight, and Display Enemy Stats overlays hidden data.
• 🗺️ Teleportation — warp to any town/route/landmark (full Hoenn + Kalos maps), plus your own saved warp points.
• 🎮 Mini Game Corner — a little arcade of 7 games (loot boxes, slots, prize wheel, stat duels, a random team generator, and more).
• ✨ Quality of life — fast text, fast walk, walk-through-walls, instant eggs, a configurable on-screen HUD, 25 color themes, Favorites, rebindable hotkeys…
• 📖 Complete Professor Oak Challenge guide built in — the full Oak Challenge walkthrough (by Mewlax) lives right inside the plugin, so you can follow the entire living-dex run without ever leaving your game.

Hi there!
I’m working currently on a “expansion” of sorts to Pokémon Royal Sapphire (credit to Gongas of course, they’re a great dev and this hack is a masterpiece imo), to integrate following Pokémon and potentially an EXP all feature.

What am I looking for? People that are willing to test it!
It’s not the most stable atm and I’m working on getting a stable base first, afterwards I’d like for people to test it and see what works, and what doesn’t work. I can’t promise that it’ll be the most stable, there’s a bit of memory left to work with in the ROM but generally pulling stuff like this in binary hacks is not easy to say the least.

Providing an image below with an example of this - the sprite work isn’t great atm.

Additionally, if anyone has a sprite pack with the mons in Royal Sapphire’s dex, I’d love that! I’m scavenging a bit atm.

If you’re interested in knowing more, update me!

AND AGAIN ALL CREDIT GOES TO GONGAS, THIS IS SIMPLY AN EXPANSION ON THE EXISTING ROM

Hey guys, it’s been a bit, but I’ve been working on a few pieces of additional content for Blinding White Plus that I think would be fun to show off!
**Brand new backported sprites:** With the release of Hzla’s tool for converting gifs to sprites through Pokeweb, I’ve backported about ten new lines with custom movesets, cries, and animated sprites! The ones you see in the video below are animated by members of the Smogon Sprite project and additional work by diegotoon20 on deviantart.
**Custom OST coming along:** I set out a journey for myself to create multiple new songs for this game that mesh well with Unova’s current soundtrack, and I’ve dipped my toes into making route variants that diversify the songs you’ll be hearing on the road! In particular, I currently have **two new songs for West and East Unova,** as the route of progression is being flipped a bit and it creates a more unique gameplay experience through each split.
**Roxie’s split is in testing!** If you want to try the game up to a level cap of 28 and the second gym leader, join the Discord for access to the testing patch. It comes with multiple new story battles and cutscenes that demonstrate my vision for the rest of this romhack!

This is what I have at the moment, but right now I’m working on releasing a cohesive demo with Burgh and Elesa split sometime before August if it’s possible. You can also play the OG Blinding White 2 if you’d like, both versions are available on the drive right now! Thanks for following my romhacking update, and I’ll see you soon with more content 👀
