Can you update red blue green celebrations, perfect emerald and ADD STATIC YELLOW PLEASE!! New game
Absolutely love this hack. Only thing I’m having trouble figuring out is why I can’t seem to get Unowns C, D, J and K in the ruins to appear. I’m doing it just for shits but those are the only four I need and wanna see if something happens as one of the NPCs said lol. Any insight?
Also that Pocket PC is a godsend for grinding, major props for that!!
New patch out on the 08/01/25, update pls
Unlocked the first puzzle. Went down into the ruins, Pokémon appeared and screen goes black with just the music. Downloaded the Jan 3 update. Help??
How can I update ambrosia Dec 26 to ambrosia Jan 3 2025 ver.?
download the current version of the game. copy your save file and put it in the same folder as the new version of the game. make sure they both have the same name. for example, if your rom is named “ambrosia jan 7 2025.gb” then your save file must also be named “ambrosia jan 7 2025.sav”.
Game crashes during the battle with the rival in the town with bugsy. Seems to have a bug there and I cannot get past that point.
How do I get the most recent update on my current save file??? When I download the game again with most recent patch it downloads as a new game
How do I update the ROM to the most current patch without downloading the game?? I have redownloaded most current catch jan 3rd but it runs as new game I want all the updates on my current file
first download the current version of the game (jan 7). copy your save file from the previous version and put it in the same folder as the new version of the game. make sure they both have the same name. for example, if your rom is named “ambrosia jan 7 2025.gb” then your save file must also be named “ambrosia jan 7 2025.sav”.

*DOES , ,,, you illiterate motherfucker
Just beat red tonight. Was extremely tough. Only did it with legendaries. Still, this game was fantastic. Alot of love was put in to this. Thank you for making a true pokemon game!
yes! they made one recently. here’s the link – https://discord.com/invite/FMNuWYAY
Author here – thanks for everyone’s interest! The version offered here is quite old by now, the game has had numerous feature updates and bug fixes. The doc has also been updated with lots of useful information. What is the process to update the resources offered here? Thanks for any help you can give.
thanks for letting me know, I’ve updated the links.
oh this game WON the qol department everything you could think of is here from the start! exp all? check, portable pc? check, infinite repel and escape rope? check, infinite tm? yup its there, no hm? they done it, free move remember? they got it all from the start! other romhack could just shiver at the thought of these features in this game. this game is a proof that all of these are possible its just that romhacker refuse to add this qol to their game just cuz they hate fun stuff. mind you this game is still challenging even with all these features
No One is paying the rom hackers to make a game that is perfect to you,stop Being a spoiled brat that wants everything to be how you want and accept things for how they are.
What is the move shadow fist? Is there a link for custom moves and what the power and accuracy is?
Im not sure how to download it because the two that im seeing dont actually work. Please help with how to download.
just click on any of the buttons in the download section labeled as “mediafire” and “mega” and you’ll be redirected to the download page.
There’s a glitch were the game crashes and say “game pak is designed only for use on the Game Boy Color.” I use MGBA. Can you fix this? This rom hack is addictive.
That’s a glitch if you’re planning to switch out your pokemon after your opponent swaps out theirs.
Will this work on delta emulator for iPhone?
This rom is a ton of bugs
_Game will crash when i use space button to increase % speed of game when on a battle with rival Silver, red invader, or special character battle event like boss sage monk, gym leader, crystal, self,…..
_About the egg receive from day care old man, if i active exp share, the egg will get exp and level up, learn new move. If on the battle, i can choose egg to battle, the spirite is frog ninja pokemon.
I have to use F1 to quick save and activate it when the game crashes. It’s so inconvenient to play, i give up at the 3 gym.
Update: after i use m-gba instead of vba-m, it not crash anymore
Anywhere I can get documentation for moves, locations or level evolution? The links in the documentation doesn’t work. Just gives an error
use this link: https://www.pokeharbor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Pokemon-Ambrosia.pdf
Can I played this on Nintendo 3dds emulator and on Samsung tablet!
No for Nintendo 3DS emulator but yes for tablet but with GBC or GBA emulator
Does the mirrored rival have boosted crits or status affects? I’ve been going at it for about an hour and continuously have the rival proc crits or status.
I tried downloading but it doesn’t work. I use Myboy! And it doesn’t recognize the game files and won’t let me play. Nit sure why this issue is happening.
it’s a gbc rom hack not gba. you need to use MyOldBoy!
no need to yell sir 😌

https://www.mediafire.com/file/in4x4j8ri7r97f5/Clover+2.0+christmas+demo.zip/file

Nobody want to talk. They just downvote
Another update for this came out where the difficulty was reduced. Please do update.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone💛🧡😊😇🎄🎅🎁
merry christmas and happy holidays to you too 🎄🎁
I was not at all expecting anything new when I decided to visit the site today, but still wanted to check just in case, and wish all the fellow Poké gamers a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and all that jazz. Just happy holidays, or a nice day! 😊🎄🎄✨️✨️✨️ And to Admin especially, thanks for running this amazing amazing site. It no doubt takes a lot of time overall to run, save file with at least dozens of hours type of deal 😅 and have this great array (I was gonna use a different word, it was on the tip of my tongue but it eludes me 😂 I’ll reply to this when I remember it. I’m sure I will in the near future, but only after the moment’s passed. That’s always how it works lol)…. array of fangames/romhacks!
Wish you all the best, and to stay warm during the cold season! Let us all try our best to be positive on this day, and for the rest of the holiday season / til 2024 is over! Nobody is perfect but it’s the effort and trying harder each day that matters [:
Now on to the game itself! I have much to say, and to praise more specifically!!
“rivals, one of which uses an exact copy of the player’s party including stats, items, nicknames, everything.”
This is to me VERY big, not sure I’ve ever seen a romhack do this. It’s definitely the think that hooked me in. I was intrigued the moment I read it! Tho the art was really cool too when I first saw! I can’t wait to experience this part of the game, and see where it leads, and why exactly this is the case!
“All Pokémon have abilities, some familiar and some new – such as Gardevoir raising light screen upon switch in for example”
Oh my god yes! I love seeing Crystal romhacks with implementation of abilities! And Gardevoir’s sounds extremely useful, and just neat in general. I wonder if there’s a Pokémon that has a start of turn Reflect ability? Maybe someone like Medicham? That would make sense because Fighting and Psychic type. Misdreavus, Alakazam and and Gallade would make sense too. (If Gallade is here. Tho I’d prefer a more offensive ability tbh) Ah, I just thought.. It’s gotta be Mr. Mime that has it huh, lol. It’s so obvious xD But if it doesn’t, that’s just fine too.
As a huge Gardevoir enthusiast since first playin Sapphire, I gotta try that out, it’ll be so cool to see!(:
“two level caps”
Oh my. 😳 Never expected something like that. That sounds very interesting. So I take it that’s to prevent you from abusing catching overpowered Pokémon to just breeze through the game, since it’s more open-world.
This is groundbreaking though, I gotta praise them for that!
“late game item allowing player to instantly warp to important locations”
How many romhacks have this kind of feature? Especially early gen, before RSE. Fast Travel is so so nice. I understand it being late game, as much as I’d want it right away lol. Really ground-breaking either way, as a quality of life feature and just in general!!!
“Remembral key item that acts a portable free move relearner”
First time I’ve seen this in a romhack or fangame, like in the history of ever. They definitely took inspiration from Scarlet and Violet/Legends Arceus which are the first official Pokémon games to do that as far as I know, straight from the Pokémon party/status menu. Sounds real sweet! Will save lots of time as well! I hope TMs/Egg Moves or moves learned from Tutors can work with it, but I’ll have to ask in the original message board and hope they answer or can find out if it is the case or not. Last resort, I can test it myself too.
“Battle Frontier with 5 new areas”
Lastly, wow. Just wow!! I’m itching to try this one out!
One final time, happy holidays everyone and I hope it’s great, and your new years are awesome (:
Haven’t had time to comment. But while thinking of the word I was trying to think of, I was pulling my hair out for a HOT minute lol. But the word was “cultivated” / “cultivation”. It just didn’t feel right, but out of the dozens or hundred synonyms I looked at, nothing quite fit what I was picturing. It didn’t seem to satisfy me at first, but yes that IS the right word.
This fine cultivation of romhacks and fangames. The collection/catalogue that the site owner has cultivated.
There. All is well. Lol
how do i play after i download it? Sorry im new to this
you need to download an emulator capable of running gbc roms for whatever platform you’re on. you can find their download links here: https://www.pokeharbor.com/2022/10/pokemon-emulators-for-android-ios-windows-mac/
then you just need to extract the zip file you download from this page and load it on to the emulator.
Game stopped working and had a weird big happen in bell sprout tower when the final dude switches out his pokémon, when I switch out the game gets the bug and fucked up the game. I lost interest playing it now because of that bug and I don’t want to start over with all the progress I put in to leveling up my team to level 20
Same
I am unable to download due to bug, it tries to copy the word on android for the links, pls fix thanks ahead of time
fixed it
Great game so far, but how do you get past the old man blocking road on route 36?
Does anyone know if evolution through trading still works the same way and if so is there any methods that are just way simpler or should I just give up on my seadra
