Pokemon Emerald Imperium List of Known Bugs
Version 1.2
While not technically a known bug, the goal was to match the data for each Pokemon found in https://dex.radicalred.net/. We put a large effort into addressing all inconsistencies in 1.2, but it is still of course possible that we missed some things (especially learnset data), so please report any inconsistencies that are not documented as “intentional deviations from Radical Red”
Old Bugs in v1.1 (Fixed in 1.2)
- Some of the color palettes of the follower Pokemon have issues being on screen at the same time as some of the custom overworld sprites. The example I have come across is Charmander or Gardenia’s palette not loading correctly, depending on which one is loaded on screen first. In theory, one specific follower probably causes the same issue for each of the custom overworld objects, so if you find another example of it please let me know!
- Some shiny overworld Pokemon do not display correctly (you can fix this easily by opening the party menu, bag, or some other menu)
- While not technically a known bug, my goal was to match the data for each Pokemon found in https://dex.radicalred.net/, and I am sure I missed some things (especially learnset data), so please report any inconsistencies that are not documented as intentional changes!
- Pomeg Berry merchant and some other mart workers can crash the game on MyBoy emulator

Protean is a very glitch ability + the guy with the starter eggs sometimes freezes the game when I opened him
I also play on delta, an emulator on an apple phone so maybe its just a me thing
delta seems to be having some problems with the game so try using RetroArch with mGBA core
visual boy advance also has this issue, my game froze and i don’t have a save state at all. is there any way to fix this or am i cooked?
Appears the evolution of nincada doesnt result in ninjask and shedinja, even with the conditions correct
true
Please help i am at fire Mt with team magma and aquarium and the first double battle freezes each time I try to fight them in the middle of the battle
It could be bad luck but im doing a “living” dex (only fully evolved) and for some reason paras doesnt apear on the cave it supposed to; even the UI leaves a spot for an extra pokemon on that cave
My starter pokemon cannot level up past level 15. Im about to go to the first gym so im thinking about restarting.
this is not a glitch, the game has a level cap 🙂
My Lucario can’t learn Extremespeed. I’m playing with randomized species & abilities and my Lucario has Galvanize and is at Level 44. The dex says it gets it at level 26 though. Even when using the relearner I can’t see Extremespeed. Is that by design or is my game just bugged?
When flannery’s infernape uses flareblitz on flash fire mon it takes recoil!
Having a bizzarre obvious glitch trying to catch roaming pokemon. When I toss a ball, the animation that ends up playing is *half* my pokemon’s namecard starts spinning (akin to the spinning of a pokeball thrown at the ‘mon), and half the pokemon’s namecard doesn’t spin, and at the same time the whole namecard (with only half of it spinning) moves up the right side of the screen, looping repeatedly.
I have reproduced this on two different routes. Not sure if this is a save state glitch, since I am pulling from save states both times.
please report bugs on discord
My pokemon seem to be stuck on level 20
When trying to play in the battle facilities the game stops at the very 1st battle but the music keeps playing
i ran out of pc space is there anyway to expand it?
Winona didn’t give TM for acrobatics
Not able to mega evolve any of my Pokémon’s😶
I try to catch regigigas and I finished the game caught most of them but when I get to him I can’t battle him, Pokedex says badge 8 ia the requirements… Anyone?
I got an undeletable Bad Egg. Is there anything I can do?
I tried to evolve nincada to shedinja with all the right qualities (I.E. party space and a pokeball availabe) and i only got a ninjask, can i get some help on this??
Can i hatch the bad egg? It says that it will także a long time but i was walking for an hour and it dont hatch.
it’s not hatchable
I have Incineroar with Intimidate as the ability. However, it doesn’t work the way it should even when switching in and out and switching in again. It says it won’t lower any further but it doesn’t work upon start of battle.
DexNav water only shows species that can be found via surf, but leaves the rod species to be a surprise. Would just be nice QoL if DexNav also specified what rods can turn up what. This is mostly annoying on randomizer where getting a new rod means going back to all the old routes and fishing for a while to see what each yields.
The game removes pokemon previously caught, registers them as caught in the pokedex but not available or visible anywhere in team or PC and not released. Really frustrating bug, using MGBA on retroarch.
Went out of my way to get a shiny Darmanitan only to find out sheer force is broken in this game for some reason. I’m taking life orb damage AND flare blitz recoil. Ts sucks
Celebi is no longer available for those who already beat Sunbird when Mew was the reward – the location of Mew being changed and Celebi being removed from the Safari Zone and the reward for battling her has resulted in Celebi being unobtainable as Sunbird can’t be rebattled.
