It's not in the manual but other sources, such as the Japanese website, state that Gemerl was either built with Emerl's data or parts, maybe even both. It wouldn't be absurd to assume that at least some of Emerl's personality is still in there, Gemerl is even shown to have a cloae friendship with Cream in the ending of SA3, much like Emerl before him.
