Help and compatibility
Extract both ZIPs first: the installation package and your original ROM, if zipped.
Open this HTML in a current desktop browser, not a phone's file preview.
A wrong-ROM error means the file is modified, another language or another game.
Download failures can be retried with the same original file.
Use a separate fresh save for the practice team. Back up existing saves; do not delete them.
To continue an existing adventure, import a copy of your in-game save for the new game. Do not reuse emulator save states across versions.
92 animated Pokémon and 44 move profiles. Unsupported encounters and moves use classic battles.
