There is a video game genre called roguelike or rogue-like. The concept is that you enter dungeons, and the zones are procedurally generated. What that means is that a zone can change every time you leave or exit the area. Enter, the ROM hack Pokemon Emerald Rogue, which has the motif of being a rogue-like game.

Story
The story is the same concept where you just become a Pokemon Master or Champion.
Features
While the story doesn’t seem to be much, it’s the concept that you would want to get acclimated to. This game is a rogue-like, so here’s how it works. You start in a zone where there is an area called the Hub.
The Hub is where you do your things like buy items, store your Pokemon, change your team, and others. When you leave the Hub, you choose which routes you go, which are procedurally generated.
Every time you enter these routes, you can encounter different Pokemon and decide whether you want to catch them. The end goal for each adventure you do is to get a Badge.
If you don’t get the Badge, you can go back to the Hub and get stronger. Continue doing it until you get all the Badges which will take some time since the game scales in level. You can also do quests and get rewards to help you get stronger and get further in the game.

Pokecoders! Is their any cheats of Pokemon Emerald Rogue?
Hi Kiara, thanks for coming here. Unfortunately, regular cheats will not work in this game. Emerald rogue uses a different emerald script in the creation. But we are doing our best to find a workaround.
