📝 Introduction

In the world of Pokémod Emerald, you find yourself alone, in the back of a moving truck, already knowing who you are. You're May. The daughter of Norman, the gym leader of Petalburg City. Soon to be trainer. Someday, champion.

📚 Installation

🪵 Branches

Pokémod Emerald has two major branches: main and game. The main branch is in sync with pret's master branch, and is used as the base for all mod branches and the game branch.

The game branch is an aggregate of all mod branches. To merge a mod branch into game, first create a new branch from mod, mod-built, and merge game into mod-built. Then, merge mod-built into game. This method ensures that the mod branch stays in sync with main:
