01
64 new maps
Towns, a lake, a shrine road and a mountain you can actually climb — sixty-four maps drawn tile by tile.
A FLATFOOT GAMES RELEASE
Wishes of
Tomorrow
A handmade pixel-art adventure for the Game Boy Advance. Cross the forests, lake towns and shrine paths beneath Mt. Fuji, raise a team of creatures, and find out what the mountain has been waiting for.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Built the long way round.
02
Gens I–X, 50+ new sprites
Ten generations of creatures in one region, plus over fifty custom sprite designs drawn for this game alone.
03
Battles that respect you
Reworked type balance, faster animations, and a difficulty curve tuned by people who beat the original blindfolded.
04
New QoL and battle mechanics
Fast travel, a searchable bag, run by default, reusable balls, and a reworked battle system. The tedium is gone; the game isn't.
05
An original soundtrack
Composed for the hardware, played on the hardware — every track sequenced to fit inside the cartridge it ships on.
06
12 quests, 4 secret bosses
A dozen tracked side quests and four optional boss fights hidden well enough that the first one took testers nine hours to find.

SCREENSHOTS
WHO YOU'LL MEET
scroll →
Prof. Clarkson
Regional researcher
Hands you your first partner, then follows you around the region asking questions he already knows the answer to.
Edwards
Rival
Army specialist and jumpmaster. Wants the same thing you do and is not remotely subtle about it.
Red Fatality
Antagonist
Runs the outfit digging under the mountain. Believes he's the reasonable one, which is the problem.
The Minister
Edgerunner
Knows every wire under the city and who paid for it. Trades information for favours you'd rather not owe.
Allison
Siren
Holds the lake route and won't let you pass until your team can handle deep water.
Mikmanc
Lab technician
Runs the storage system and the healing machines. Complains about both, fixes neither.
Yiffer
Dojo leader
Third badge, and the first fight that actually asks you to think about turn order.

We distribute a patch, never a game. You need your own legally obtained copy of the base ROM — we don't provide one and can't help you find one.
REQUIREMENTS
What you need
- Base ROM
- Your own legally obtained dump of Pokémon Emerald (U) — 16 MB, header code BPEE. Not included, not linked.
- Patcher
- None needed — the patcher on this page runs in your browser. Flips works too if you'd rather do it offline.
- Emulator
- mGBA 0.10+ recommended. VBA-M and Delta on iOS also tested.
- Hardware
- Runs on original GBA hardware via flash cart, and on Analogue Pocket.
- Save files
- 128KB flash save. Set your emulator's save type to Flash 128K if it doesn't detect it.
CHANGELOG

FAQ
Questions people actually ask
Is it free?+
Yes, and it stays that way. There is no paid tier, no cosmetics, and no donation nag inside the game.
Do I need the original cartridge?+
You need your own legally obtained dump of Pokémon Emerald (U) to apply the patch to. We distribute a patch, not a game — we don't provide the base ROM and can't help you find one.
How do I apply the patch?+
Use the patcher further up this page: choose your base ROM, press Apply, save the result. It all happens inside your browser — the ROM is never uploaded anywhere, and this site has no server that could receive it. If you'd rather patch offline, the file is a standard BPS and works with Flips or any other patcher.
The patcher says my ROM is wrong. Now what?+
The patch stores a checksum of the exact base ROM it was built against, and the patcher compares yours to it. A mismatch almost always means a different region or revision, or a dump with a header still attached. You want the plain 16 MB Pokémon Emerald (U) file, code BPEE.
Can I play it on my phone?+
Yes — any modern GBA emulator works. Delta on iOS and mGBA on Android are the two we test against each release.
Will saves carry over between versions?+
v1.0.0 is the first public release, so there's nothing to carry forward yet. Whenever a future version breaks save compatibility, the release notes will say so at the top.
How do I report a bug?+
Open an issue on GitHub, or email [email protected] with your version number and the save file if you have it.
Is there a sequel?+
Something is in prototype. It's smaller, and it's not set near the mountain.
