hmm does your emulator _also_ emulate cable linking? coz there are some pokemons that can evolve only by _trading_ it with another gameboy (another pokemon player for that matter)
a good example is kingdra. it evolves from seadra holding “symbol of king” upon trade.
as for the roms, try tu na google. i’ll give you the links when i find them… but i can also give you (usb) if kere tu. =) hihihihi pokefan tamen gale tu ei? :p hehehe
