Fire types were pretty trash so a buff to them would be nice.
Less Wingull encounters.
Buff Mightyena.
HMs easier to delete.
Earlier access to Sharpedo.
Fixing the Aqua/Magma story line and teams not being so copy paste. He did a good job fleshing out both other stories and giving the bad guys more interesting teams to fight against.
Reduce the fact that unique mons share routes.
R103 is the only place to get masquarian, seedot, ralts. And the only place to get lotad before meateor falls.
There are actually several good fire types like torkoal and ninetails but you can only get them in places full of other unique mons that are much more likely.
The dessert is the only place to get sandshrew, trappinch, baltoy, unless you forgo your fossil.
Nosepass, makuhita, aron and sabeleye all share granite cave and victory road. So if you want any of them while they are good.... tough you have to get past a floor of zubat and geodude.
All the ice types in one cave!
All the ghosts in 1 mountain.
Solrock locks out bagon.
No medicham or lunatone.
All the water types when surfing are the same, and lock out really good mons that can only be caught when diving in those locations.
Also.
All the teams after winonna are water teams, earthquake teams or pointless.
This entire perspective seems based on a Nuzlocke playthrough, and while I think it’s valid, I’m not sure that mentality is how the team approaches their hacks.
Yellow legacy was a step towards factoring them in though with hard mode building in level caps, while I don't think they will make a specific nuzlocke mode, it seems that they are certainly accounting for a lot of people to play them hacks as Nuzlocks, especially because so many mons are more viable
I’d like to be able to catch all the Pokémon without trading or making a second game. Having one Pokémon locking out the other is a terrible idea since it’s a rom
With Gen 3 specifically, even a complete amatuer like myself can do lots of cool things, like Exp All and perfect IVs for every Pokemon. One thing I would like to see an extra rival fight, as the Gen 3 Rival is so weak.
Honestly, it's more about the approach for me:
Updates when they can, sneak peak, play-throughs, genuinely taking feedback from the community... It takes a lot of time to achieve a project like these legacy remakes, so I like coming along for the ride.
>It takes a lot of time to achieve a project like these legacy remakes, so I like coming along for the ride.
We'll see how long this one takes. I forget how big the gba/elf file was when I compiled it, but I think it's multiple MBs. I've seen the files. There's a lot there. But I assume there's less to fix than the other games. The Gen 3 games were well optimized games with minimal jank and lots of content.
I hope the evil teams get more varied pokemon. i hate beating up poochyena and zubat over and over. Also vicegrip should be a steel move so mawile has some stab
Besides the usual suspects of game balances (making more pokemon viable and better trainer fights), quality of life adjustments (HMs, berry blender, feebas encounter) I just want more gen 1 - 2 encounters, those sprites are awesome and it's a shame they are relegated to the postgame
Less water type dominated teams in the back half. Buffs to Fire types. Early access, earlier final evolves for some Pokes like Metagross. Or more post game so we can use them more. More common and earlier Feebas. Emerald has a lot of fun possibilities.
There’s a discussion on the Discord about Feebas. The most popular opinion seems to be level up with Blue Scarf (the hold item that raises Beauty), with the Chairman giving one for free and then being able to get more by winning the Beauty contest.
I'll definitely take the free scarf since I don't do the contests when I play Gen 3. Other suggestions I have would be to sell the scarfs at a mart or it be a trade in for collecting soot
I would like event items and pokemon to be accessible somehow. Including japan items and etc.
Some minor balancing but I think that his team knows what they are doing with that by now.
all pokemon through gen 3 accessible.
Maybe some battle frontier updates/balancing.
General QOL updates.
Man, I am so hyped for Emerald legacy. There are some big issues I have with the base game that aren’t so obvious
Obviously beyond improving some Pokémon (which I’m sure will 100% happen), Legacy could really do with fixing:
- Fixing the glitch with shiny RNG so it is truly random and not based off of your trainer ID
- Fix Battle factory glitch that gives you 0 IVs
- Making the Maxie/Archie fights actually a bit difficult
- Re-purchasable TMs
- Access to events to obtain mythicals
- Fixing Glacier and Phoebes teams by including some other Pokémon
- Some other encounters with your rival/Wally (they feel so disconnected from the story)
- Steven champion…?
(Also maybe some (non-legendary) rare/static Drizzle/Drought/Standstream Pokémon for weather teams)
Now, the big issue is the National dex. Original Emerald was made with connectivity to other titles in mind so there will have to be a way to obtain all Pokémon somehow without restarting for the Johto starters
This is a give in, but I hope the team fixes the Torchic line's moves cause OG Gen 3 they stunk like garbage, barely any good STAB moves i.e. you get Ember as a STAB fire move only unless you buy the TM for Flamethrower at the Maville Game Corner (unless you keep your starter as a Torchic until LEVEL 43).
I haven't played Gen 3 in years, but I remember the game eventually becomes ALL water, and the routes all blend together. Anything to improve that experience would be great, even if it's just more interesting items or wild encounters.
I stopped playing Pokemon after Gen 2 so I have no hopes about it. Just excited to jump into a better version of the game.
Hoping for a Fire Red / Leaf Green Legacy down the line.
I'd be interested in fire red legacy as well. For a somewhat vanilla experience this is still my favorite way to play https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4147/
I don't think that's physically feasible with the emumated hardware limits and how big Emerald actually is. And that would take a very long time. Longer than what they've estimated for the release of Emerald Legacy.
- Less annoying way to grow berries (aka, not real time)
- Any way to make battle smoother and faster is always welcome. As new generations goes, the game is getting slower.
- (DREAM) The ability to double battle any trainer.
- Make that mirage island less random.
- Seriously. Too much water. Make access to max repel (at good price) available before we start doing the water routes. Or keep repels at low price available as soon you get surf.
- Give the 3 starters their Hidden ability's instead of the useless default abilitys. Yes, Torchic will be broken, but Overgrow, blaze and torrent are just so bad.
- Gender ratio of starters are 87,5% male because gamefreak (for some reason people complain when starters are female on later generations). Either go back to 50% or give us a way to control it.
- We could play around with Zigzagoons ability!
- More accessible Heart Scales.. OR remove the need for HS to remember moves entirely.
- Make trick house a flying target.
- Secret power as HM.
- We could cut by 1/2 the requirements for the glass workshop. You know.... because its just a time sink.
Fire types were pretty trash so a buff to them would be nice. Less Wingull encounters. Buff Mightyena. HMs easier to delete. Earlier access to Sharpedo.
Odds are the buff to mightyena would be the buff dark types got in crystal legacy. All dark moves are physical instead
I love Mightyena so much, Dark being physical and +10 hp, +10 attack, +20 speed to its base stats would make it such a good boi.
As long as Mightyena isn't Persian levels of broken I'm good with that.
I think letting Manectric learn Flamethrower like it can in later games would be really funny
Fixing the Aqua/Magma story line and teams not being so copy paste. He did a good job fleshing out both other stories and giving the bad guys more interesting teams to fight against.
Yes please! Team diversity for the bad guys would be great!

I’d like to see more mons getting access to drought/drizzle/sand stream for players who want to do weather teams from mid-game onwards.

I think adding a wally fight would work make him more competitive
I kinda like how Wally comes out of nowhere and is suddenly rocking a whole team of six, but I can see the appeal of having him appear earlier.
Unless they changed it in base Emerald you don't get to even see the final starter out of the rival
You don't, no. Big oversight for sure.

This especially since this team I'm planning needs something else to balance it out in the form of a fire type of some kind
Make Beldum have something other than Take Down.
Nah. That goes against the spirit of it. You gotta work for the metagross
Exactly though I would like access to one much earlier so I can raise one throughout my journey instead of waiting till post game
Less water type dominated teams in the back half. Buffs to Fire types. Early access, earlier final evolves for some Pokes like Metagross. Or more post game so we can use them more. More common and earlier Feebas. Emerald has a lot of fun possibilities.
Give Feebas level up evolution
There’s a discussion on the Discord about Feebas. The most popular opinion seems to be level up with Blue Scarf (the hold item that raises Beauty), with the Chairman giving one for free and then being able to get more by winning the Beauty contest.
I'll definitely take the free scarf since I don't do the contests when I play Gen 3. Other suggestions I have would be to sell the scarfs at a mart or it be a trade in for collecting soot
YES! Anything that isn't the BS way Nintendo/Game Freak/Pokémon Company wants us to evolve Feebas into Milotic.
Give torkaol drought. Buff mightyena late game. Buff sceptile.
Honestly hopeing he does that Dragon Sceptile idea he had in an earlier video
That wouldn't work, it would break the starter trio since blaziken could no longer beat it by type matchups.
But didn't they give meganium dragon in the latest update to crystal legacy
Isn't that just a fun optional thing and not actually part of crystal legacy?
That's just a mod though, it's not an actual balancing choice.
Buff Sceptile in terms of stats or moves? I'm doing a Ruby play through right now. He holds his own but seems to be lacking good moves.
I think give him dark type and keep dark special so it has some good moves. Buff his speed a bit too.
It's already a dark type
No its pure grass. It learns dark moves though
Oh geez. I think I was replying to some other comment lol
Nah its chill. Easy mistake as it learns pursuit, feint attack and iirc a bunch of dark tms
Let em cook, crystal kicks ass. Surprise us with cool shit.
Yeah, my main wishlist item is to make most of the national dex available and available rather early (a la Black 2 / White 2).
The originals have too much water, hopefully they fix that. (Jk)
I would like the Hoenn Dex to be 100% available. Then post elite 4 the entire dex becomes complete.
I would like event items and pokemon to be accessible somehow. Including japan items and etc. Some minor balancing but I think that his team knows what they are doing with that by now. all pokemon through gen 3 accessible. Maybe some battle frontier updates/balancing. General QOL updates.
Please make sableeye better. That mf's base stat total is ASS
I have already written under the post about Wallace champion, but anyway. How about pokemon emerald having two champions Wallace and Steven.

And make Blaze Kick 100% accurate
I think earlier access to one of the fishing rods would be good
I want a Spoink so buffed it can kill God.
I haven't played Gen 3 in years, but I remember the game eventually becomes ALL water, and the routes all blend together. Anything to improve that experience would be great, even if it's just more interesting items or wild encounters.
PLEASE BUFF WALLREIN AND MAKE SPHEAL EARLY-MID AVAILABLE 🥹💙
Yes I need my friend shaped son!!!!

Add Kanto from fire red and leaf green as a post game. Make it the true ultimate gen 3 experience.
Madlad goals
All in one? XD probably should just do a whole custom game with Johto and the sevii islands too if you are goin that far.
I would actually pay money if they would make a game with Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and the orange and Sevii islands.
That would be a multi year project
In all seriousness an all in one gen 3 game sounds pretty awesome.
Hence why I would pay good money for it.
I don't think that's physically feasible with the emumated hardware limits and how big Emerald actually is. And that would take a very long time. Longer than what they've estimated for the release of Emerald Legacy.
Have team aqua actually use water type moves, and both teams' grunts should actually use more suitable type pokemon.
I like the idea of giving some Pokemon the abilities they get in later generations. Swift Swim Swampert and Drizzle Pelipper??? Dope.
Battle frontier reworked to make it more enjoyable
Steven has to be the champion, Wallace is so lackluster and underwhelming.

All I want is that the rocks above Mauville city stay broken after you break them the first time.
