DraStic

No, DraStic doesnt support multiplayer, and neither does any other DS emulator on a non windows OS

Sorry, we dont tend to help people who dont know how to rip files from their own DS consoles.

it has nothing to do with the emulator.

The pokemon games have built in Anti-Piracy protection from Nintendo themselves. You have to patch the ROM or download a Pre-Patched version.

I highly recommend Storm Silver (its essentially a ROM hack.of Soulsilver, but has all 493 pokemon and other tweaks ...

SaveStates dont work well with Pokemon games, also due to how pokemon games actually work (I assume you have never played on an actual cartridge), Saving ingame is absolutely necessary for the game to function properly.

Which makes me wonder if Drastic would ...

Get a rotation app off the play store, preferrably one with 'Per app rotation' settings, and lock drastic to 'force landscape' mode.
