Pokémon Glazed
One of the classic binary Emerald hacks, still maintained: three regions, five starters, over 400 Pokémon and a Scarfed Pikachu with a grudge.
More about the game
Glazed is one of the ROM hacks people mean when they say 'classic' — a binary Emerald hack from before the decompilation era that has been kept alive and modernised by TrainerX493. You start in the new Tunod region, go on to Johto and finish in Rankor, crossing between the Pokémon world and the real world along the way, with Team Fusion as the antagonists and a trio of roaming Johto trainers as allies. The 9.x line brought it up to modern standards: the Physical/Special split, the Fairy type, stats and type chart updated to Gen 9, Mega Evolution handled as ordinary evolution in Rankor, reusable TMs, gym leader rematches and a long list of bug fixes.
What's different, point by point
- Three regions — Tunod, Johto and Rankor — plus a 'real world' to travel to
- Five starters to choose from instead of three
- Over 400 Pokémon, including species from Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos
- Every legendary from Kanto to Sinnoh and eight from Unova
- Physical/Special split, Fairy type, and stats and type chart brought up to Gen 9
- Mega Evolution, as a regular evolution, in Rankor
- Rematches with trainers and every Gym Leader
- Reusable TMs, improved HMs, running shoes and other quality-of-life fixes from the 9.x updates

The game, the ideas and the work are redriders180 (original), maintained by TrainerX493's. This page only says what the game is and where to find it, because its developers asked us to keep documentation of it to a minimum. Play it from the official page, and send them the feedback and the thanks.
What this page covers
This page is a listing rather than a guide. Its creators asked us to keep documentation of their game to a minimum, so none of the usual sections are here: no wild encounters, no stats or movesets, no TM lists and no trainer teams. That is their call, not a gap we are hoping to fill later. Ask in the Glazed Discord

About this page
Why This Page Has No TablesThis is a listing, not a guide. Glazed is a binary hack with no source repository, and the only documentation its maintainer points to is a Reddit guide that could not be read when this page was made. The site only prints numbers that come from a hack's own documentation, so there are no encounter tables, movesets or trainer teams here yet. If that guide turns out to be the maintainer's own data, this page becomes a full guide.
Event PasswordsThe maintainer publishes a few in-game passwords on the Hackdex page for Espo Forest, Darkwood Town and Alpha Isle; see there for the exact text, which uses a special character.
Known IssuesThe Hackdex page lists the remaining known bugs; the 9.2.0 changelog there also records item and encounter tweaks (for example the Tunod Safari Zone Zoroark chance).
