Description
Pokemon Victory is a GBA ROM hack of Pokemon Emerald that emphasizes exploration and battling. It features a custom map layout, rebalanced Pokémon, a unique battle gimmick, and revamped core mechanics—including evolution, catching, and leveling.
The game retains the original Emerald tileset with only a few new additions. It includes a custom Pokedex of 340 Pokemon (approximately 140 in this demo), primarily from Generations 1 through 3. All included Pokemon have had their stats and movesets rebalanced with the goal of making every one viable. There are also a few original abilities and moves introduced.
While this isn’t a complete game, the demo showcases all major new features along with numerous quality-of-life improvements. It represents roughly the first 25% of the planned full experience and offers around 10+ hours of gameplay in a single playthrough.
Please note that this hack is not designed to be highly difficult and does not include any Fakemon.

Pretty sure there is another romhack called Pokemon Victory, already at like version 1.0.8 i think, about 5 gyms progress and planned with bout 1000 pokemon, with plans to have all – you might want to think about using a different name so people won’t rather go for the other one if someone recommends this hack. ^^- people tend to go to the newest version they find.
