If I already have a project based on regular pokeemerald, can I use pokeemerald-expansion?

Yes! Keep in mind that we keep up with pret's documentation of pokeemerald, which means that if your project a bit old, you might get merge conflicts that you need to solve manually.

• If you haven't set up a remote, run the command git remote add RHH https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion.
• Once you have your remote set up, run the command git pull RHH master.

With this, you'll get the latest version of pokeemerald-expansion, plus a couple of bugfixes that haven't been released into the next patch version :)

How do I update my version of pokeemerald-expansion?

• If you haven't set up a remote, run the command git remote add RHH https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion.
• Once you have your remote set up, run the command git pull RHH expansion/1.8.1.
