I am the project architect and game master — designing the story, writing dialogue, scripting events, and managing an 81+ phase development pipeline. A companion save editor (<a href="https://hermanity.dev/projects/pokesave-cathode/">pokesave-cathode</a>) handles the round-trip + Cathode-flag-block edits without vendoring vanilla Emerald libraries.</p> <p><strong>Scale:</strong> The Hoenn region rebuilt. New villain team (Cathode), new story arcs, modified encounter tables, custom trainer AI. Every NPC has rewritten dialogue. Every gym battle has new stakes.</p>
