About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Global League Conference is a battle-focused Pokémon Emerald ROM hack created by rubyraven. Built on the pokeemerald-expansion framework, the project centers around an expanded Pokémon World Tournament-style experience featuring trainers from across the Pokémon world, including regions up to Paldea.
Rather than following a traditional Pokémon adventure structure with exploration, Gym progression, and story-heavy content, this hack focuses on competitive trainer battles and tournament progression. Players are invited to participate in the Pokémon Global League Conference, where powerful trainers from multiple generations compete to determine the strongest battler.
The project incorporates many modern Pokémon mechanics, including Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Terastallization, Fairy-type Pokémon, updated battle systems, and extensive quality-of-life features. The current release is an alpha version and remains actively in development, with several planned features not yet implemented.
Story Overview
You have been invited to participate in the Pokémon Global League Conference, a competition where powerful trainers from around the world gather to test their skills against one another.
Your objective is to battle through championships featuring trainers from nine different regions, ultimately working toward becoming the undisputed Global League Conference Champion.
