About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Seasons is a Chinese-language GBA ROM hack of Pokémon Emerald. It introduces a unique seasons system that changes the environment, foliage, and gameplay conditions over time—beyond simple day/night cycles. The hack adds a new storyline and new graphics while retaining the core Pokémon Emerald experience.
Story Overview
In this version of Hoenn, a legend speaks of a god who controls the seasons, whose random manipulation of weather has brought hardship to the people. As a teenager now grown, the protagonist notices bizarre climatic shifts in their hometown and sets out on a journey to investigate the chaotic changes in the seasons and ultimately confront the legendary force behind them.
