PARADEX

Hello all, Bill here!

We have launched a new site for emulating GB, GBC, GBA, and NDS games, called PARADEX. Our site has built in databases for all Pokémon games, including a pokédex, maps, tools, and more. Paradex is built to function as a community for Pokémon players around the world, allowing users to post their favourite teams, test the meta, trade Pokémon across generations, discuss tactics, and much, much more to come.

Please offer suggestions in the comments for ANY additions you would like to see to the site. Click the Donate button in the top left of the site to see our Road Map, Updates, and current Integration coverage.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: Paradex does NOT supply any ROMs. I understand this is somewhat coincidental with Myrient going down, but we are unfortunately not filling that role. We act as a place to store, organize, and play the ROMs you already own, along with databases for all Pokémon games.

Our sites has 6 main sections:

The first is our Game Directory, where you will find all your uploaded games along with databases for all base Pokémon games, and a patcher for ROM hacks.

Then, our tabs, starting with the Pokédex tab, which includes all Pokémon, moves, items, encounters, evolutions, and more.

The Tools Tab contains a variety of Pokémon tools specific to the selected database. Investigate maps for Egg encounters, Hidden Items, Feebas tiles and more. Use the Team Builder to create a meta, or even themed, team for your next playthrough. Check Catch rates, EV/IV training, and Speed Nature suggestions.

The Save Data Tab will be your home for save files, in-game info specific to your save files, and your entrance to the trading hub. List Pokémon directly from your PC for others to trade for or purchase.

The Trade Hub is the grand exchange of all trading-related activities, including listing, purchasing, trading, and even reinjecting Pokémon back into your own save files. Release Pokémon from your auction house or simply play Pokémon games to earn currency to trade with.

Finally, the Boards tab shows our Tier Lists for all games, a forum for posting squads, and more to follow in the coming weeks.

Your home for all things Pokémon.

FAQs 

DO YOU OFFER ROM DISTRIBUTION?

No.

WHAT IS PARADEX?

Paradex is a combined emulator/database platform for Pokémon games. Upload any of your Pokémon ROMs and instantly start playing, with a custom database suited to each game. Enjoy the use of tools, databases, and maps typically scattered across multiple background tabs, all in one location.

WHAT DOES PARADEX OFFER OVER DELTA, ETC?

For now, Paradex is a Pokémon-specific database first and foremost, with emulation capabilities and save file integration. As we plan to offer a downloadable app for PC, Mac, and Linux in the coming days, Paradex will offer full offline play as well as offline databases for ALL Pokémon games up to and including Gen 5. Play in a window while browsing databases and using tools, or use our built-in overlay tools in full screen. We currently offer full play, through our website, on all devices.

ARE SAVE FILES ACCESIBLE ANYWHERE?

Yes. Anywhere you have internet access and the ROM uploaded, you can access your save files.

WHY POKEMON?

For us as creators, Pokémon is the perfect cross between simplicity and variety, offering millions of team combinations while remaining in a manageable format. Our aim is to take single player games, like Pokémon, and provide opportunity for community, competition, and the revival of nostalgia. 

DO YOU SUPPORT ROM HACKS?

Yes, you can patch any Pokémon ROM hack using our in-app patcher and an uploaded copy of the Base ROM on which the Hack is based. We currently offer built-in play of TSP’s Legacy Series, FireRed Reignited and LeafGreen Regrown, and Rocket Edition, with an upload of the relevant Base ROM. Feel free to suggest more for us to add!

CAN I PLAY OFFLINE?

Yes, although trading will not be available.

HOW DOES TRADING WORK?

To trade Pokémon, you require a battery save and Pokémon in your PC in game. Pokémon will then be shown in your save data, wherein you can send them to the ‘auction house’. NOTE that Pokémon in the auction house can then be listed for ASTRAL SHARDS (our in-app currency) or returned to any of your relevant base game saves. Note that Pokémon may move up generations, but not down. We support single one-sided trades, as well as multi Pokémon trades.

WHAT ARE ASTRAL SHARDS?

Astral Shards are our in-app trading currency. You can earn Shards by playing games, earning achievements, and even releasing Pokémon. Shards are also required to start a new save or to complete a trade.

CAN I PURCHASE SHARDS?

No, shards are entirely obtainable by playing Pokémon games.

IS YOUR NAME ACTUALLY BILL?

It is.
