finished the demo after around 3 hours of gameplay and experienced some bugs during my run but not that much. huge tip is to save often when for instance: walking long distances, after battling, before triggering events, etc. you are bound to encounter bugs that will require you to soft reboot and doing this will make your playthrough much more bearable.
some bugs that can be dealt with: NOT LOADING (game stops to process): spamming inputs such as spamming enter and such can result the game freaking out and loading things too quickly, which makes the game not process properly. BE PATIENT AND DON'T SPAM!
INVISIBLE SPRITE: having a pokemon follower will sometimes make your pokemon sprite invisible, but as long as there's an HP bar you can keep playing and the sprite will reappear in the next fight. however sometimes both the sprite and HP bar do not appear meaning you are soft locked. RECOMMENDED: to not use follower for conveniency. also swapping pokemon will load their sprites.
FALLING OUT OF THE WORLD: sometimes when soft rebooting you may end up falling out of the world constantly when trying to soft reboot and get yourself out of it. THE FIX is to move (RUN) in any direction as soon as you click to soft reboot. also don't forget to save after you save yourself.
ITEMS NOT LOADED PROPERLY: items may confuse themselves and be read as something else. for instance a potion may actually be a revive and vice versa, and this applies for any healing item as far as I know. base the items on their DESCRIPTION and you can use them.
if you got more bugs to share then feel free to drop them in the replies. I only know how to deal with the bugs that I encountered myself, so please if you got solutions then drop them too. I'm just saying that don't rely on me to solve issues that I never had to deal with because it's likely that I won't know how to.
it appears that new moves taught to a pokemon retain the max and current pp of the old move. I just taught combuskin bounce over my 0 pp ember and it retained both the o pp left and the 25 max pp
there is a bug with battling where sometimes the choices for battle do not appear, essentially soft locking unless you have saved. This is not the idle animation for the battle, i do not know what causes this but it has happened many times
After defeating Gallade or Lucario, the EXPs of the pokemon present will keep increasing without stopping. I have successfully triggered this bug 10 times. version 75
Unfortunately, the game is very buggy. I had just started the adventure when the game froze during a battle. It's impossible to progress or continue the fight. The character animations are still playing, but the battle won't resume — you're forced to quit the game manually.
save before each battle, and press the menu and run button at the same time to soft reset. it sucks but that's what i had to do. just be cautious of saving before getting into any battle
Oh, it's a demo? I didn't know that — I thought it was the final version. Do you think pointing out bugs here is the right place to do it? thanks for your help
cool idea for the main menu when starting the game up: instead of having rayquaza descend slowly like it does, what if it just pops up when screen flashes and you can hear thunderclaps. that would make it seem so much more dramatic and give the legendary pokemon an intimidating presence. right now it just feels like a png being moved from y:2000 to y:500 or whatever
Great game love it its beautiful but if a pokemon evolves from a trainer battle I can't move or do any thing and have to reset the game. Nothing to big.
i saved my game in a spot in the Ashen Forest where a moveable rock is in it's original spot, then i died going after a battle and now i'm stuck in that spot and can't move and continue on with the game.
hit the download button, extract the zip file, open the unzipped file, and look for an application named PokemonEmerald with thee gamma emerald icon. If you have file name extensions on (which I recommend doing) ".exe" will be at the end. might have so enter an extra folder or two but it shouldn't be too hard to find.
Not sure if this is because there's a level cap based on badges but the Beldum I got at the beginning of the game after the magma grunt hasn't leveled up at all or gained any exp despite participating in battles. I do have EXP share on but i don't know if that would affect anything. Anybody know how to work around this without me restarting the game?
Bro this game is so fucking bugged for no reason. My Combusken was taking neutral damage from fire moves, the sprites go invisible at random and the game froze when I thought the grunt with a Pikachu. Release a playable demo next time
its literally a game DEMO, thats being made by one person. You need to relax and be thankful someone cares enough to put this much effort into making you something
The game is super nice and i'm super excited for it's completion. However, despite the game recommending the play in Gamepad, it seems to have a lot of issues with the input registrations. The B buttom to cancel seens to softlock the name creation and certain other parts of the game. It makes it very hard to keep progressing and requires multiple soft resets to progress. Nonetheless, the experience was really enjoyable in terms of the way it looks and the music is really nice. Good Stuff Overall! Very Excited for it's completion!
* however some of the high pitched notes are a little too high IMO
This game is so nice. But I'm constantly crashing during trainer battles. The battle UI will completely disappear and I'm stuck in battle with no option but to soft reset. And it happens in the same battles. Almost Everytime. But I've seen people beat the game. Am I doing something wrong? Also for some reason it keeps crashing my OBS during stream? Anyone else having these problems? To be clear. I love this game. And very much want to play through it!
The game is quite broken in several different ways:
1) Sometimes you just don't get your starter. I had to use Beldum the entire run as my Mudkip was nowhere to be found.
2) Save before EVERY battle; you will need to soft reset often to get around potential when starting or in battles.
3) The level scaling is not great. One of the major fights against the Mercenary Yior, is MUCH higher level than other fights in the area with a level 40 Lucario.
4) Whiting out sometimes clears your team and refreshes back to the last save. Make sure you save often!
5) XP managment is tough in this as no matter how many pokemon are in the party, the amount of XP does not change i.e. if you were to get 1000XP and have 2 mons in the party it should be 500XP per mon. Instead, it is the same number distributed across all 6 mons in the party and does not increase or decrease when more or less mons are in the party.
6) This is niche and a bit nitpicky, however, playing on an ultra wide monitor (Odyssey G7) causes the UI to block important information like hitpoints in battle, pokemon on the summary page, and some box functions.
7) The Delibird Exchange is quite buggy when you have low money. It seems that you can go negative in the store but it will not allow you to close the shop after that.
8) The dialogue exchange between the Magma Grunts often gets stuck on screen after or in battles and take a while to be removed.
I understand that this is a demo, thus, I was expecting a lot of bugs. I want to express that I am very pleased with the experience. This game has the potential to be something BIG. At this time, I do not wish to continue playing until some of these items are fixed. I will wait until the youtubers catch on and post content on it before I return.
Anyone else have an issue getting past Mercenary Yior? I'm finding that I am running out of attack points and I cant buy elixers to restore the attack points. Really fun and the graphics are phenomenal.
Anyone else having move learning issues? Some moves are being learned twice even when it’s already learned. My Horsea is lvl 30 and still only knows 3 moves. Maybe it’s just the pokemon, not sure though.
The only other bugs that are annoying are the border glitches, the battle animation glitch which makes you soft reset, and the grass where you get stuck in a patch.
Overall the game is awesome and cannot wait for the full release because this is so much fun. Once the bugs are gone it’ll be even better.
I'm not sure if it's intended or not but hitting sprint and a direction input at the same time after a wild encounter has made me instantly get into another wild encounter 8x in a row now

idk but some one can teach me how to dowload beause its isnt working
Download the file from the download button above on this page, once downloaded just extract the "windows" folder to somewhere on ur PC.
Once that's done open the windows folder u just extracted and u should see a file called pokemon emerald.exe.
Just open that file and it should work

here's my endgame team:
DEMO version 75
it appears that new moves taught to a pokemon retain the max and current pp of the old move. I just taught combuskin bounce over my 0 pp ember and it retained both the o pp left and the 25 max pp
when entering a battle in version 75, the selected move when pressing "Fight!" appears to be off to the side. minor issue i believe
I have a lot of bug who block me in combat
there is a bug with battling where sometimes the choices for battle do not appear, essentially soft locking unless you have saved. This is not the idle animation for the battle, i do not know what causes this but it has happened many times
how do I save the settings I pick unless you cant do that yet?
After you set your settings, they usually autosave. if not, just try again. Make sure you save after editing settings, which tends to help.
ok thanks, I'll see if something works. when I was setting them before they wouldnt be what I chose after I went back into the menu
After defeating Gallade or Lucario, the EXPs of the pokemon present will keep increasing without stopping. I have successfully triggered this bug 10 times. version 75
turn off xp share and should be good
Is there anyway to find a save file?
PokemonEmerald > Saved > SaveGames > Whichever slot save you want.

Hi I believed I encountered a bug where if a mon uses astonish then my game solft locks itself in battle. Where could I better submit this problem?
right here I'm pretty sure the creator reads a lot of these he seems to be fixing more bugs every day
Do you plan on supporting other languages? (e.g. Korean)
Unfortunately, the game is very buggy. I had just started the adventure when the game froze during a battle. It's impossible to progress or continue the fight. The character animations are still playing, but the battle won't resume — you're forced to quit the game manually.
save before each battle, and press the menu and run button at the same time to soft reset. it sucks but that's what i had to do. just be cautious of saving before getting into any battle
The game is just unplayable and bugs out for anything and everything — it doesn't just glitch during battles after all.
Its a demo and we are beta testers...We found bugs HE is working hard to fix it.
Oh, it's a demo? I didn't know that — I thought it was the final version. Do you think pointing out bugs here is the right place to do it? thanks for your help
Yes :D

Random question but can the Beldum you receive at the start of the game be shiny or is shinylock?
nothing is shiny locked
Aait nice! Thank for the update!💪🍀
Hey man just wanna say great job with updating the game, you are doing great with fixing the bugs
for some reason my game battle menu disappeared in wild encounters 5 times in a row and i lost my shiny wumple 😭
no habra soporte para poder jugarlo en MacOs? :'(
always get stuck in a battle
Great game love it its beautiful but if a pokemon evolves from a trainer battle I can't move or do any thing and have to reset the game. Nothing to big.
Hi, also soft locked in this spot please help lol
often the ui disappears and you have to reset because you can't finish the fight
how do i install :( never done his before

On pc when your game freezes press shift tab to load your previous save! make sure to save often. Just a little tip for those that dont know.
does the game automatically update when downloading shaders?
no, you'll need to download the newer versions and transfer the save file into the new folder for the new download
ok is cresselia catchable or am i wasting my time, anyone caught it yet?
nvm i caught it but damn took a while lmao
Bro this game is so fucking bugged for no reason. My Combusken was taking neutral damage from fire moves, the sprites go invisible at random and the game froze when I thought the grunt with a Pikachu. Release a playable demo next time
He's doing this for free. Try making your own next time. Acting entitled asl buddy.
its literally a game DEMO, thats being made by one person. You need to relax and be thankful someone cares enough to put this much effort into making you something
Just try to tell bugs u find like us, it's not the final version. if u want the game fixed try help the community instead of complaining
What are the odds for the Beldum to get Shiny from the pokeball at the start?

que pongo en mistery gift
I updated my game to version 2.1.0.1 and I'm still encountering the EXP Share infinite leveling bug!!!
FYI. I think it is because there are some dead pokemon in the team, then the expSharing bug happened

despues de derrotar al mercenario yior que mas se hace?
Anyone else have an issue getting past Mercenary Yior? I'm finding that I am running out of attack points and I cant buy elixers to restore the attack points. Really fun and the graphics are phenomenal.
you can restore PP at the tents where you buy potions and pokeballs
ah okay. Thanks so much for that tip. I’ll have to try that when I play the game again next time.
Anyone else having move learning issues? Some moves are being learned twice even when it’s already learned. My Horsea is lvl 30 and still only knows 3 moves. Maybe it’s just the pokemon, not sure though.

Overall the game is awesome and cannot wait for the full release because this is so much fun. Once the bugs are gone it’ll be even better.
Did anyone else get a free Beldum after beating the first team magma grunt?
I did! I thought that was supposed to happen though
It is supposed to happen, it's a gift for the demo
I'm not sure if it's intended or not but hitting sprint and a direction input at the same time after a wild encounter has made me instantly get into another wild encounter 8x in a row now
