Zel made him up, if you look carefully, Carlos is actually a scratch of Noland, is what I believe.

Your mostly right his sprite is almost the same as Noland however Carlos himself is accually Zel if I rember right.

Hey Zel, if there's anything I can do to make the final version come faster, let me know.

I unfortunately have no hacking abilities and don't have the time to learn.

Oh yeah, one very important request:

MAKE A FLY SPOT FOR BLACKTHORN CITY

Well good luck on the hack and try and get a map so we can use Fly better.

hey, didn't zel say in his old thread that he would do something about talking with prof. oak in pallet town and then being able to trade with RSE?

Correct. That idea is still on. So, once in Pallet you'll be able to trade to RSE (remember the idea wasn't to trade, that's why so later in the game)

Well, I know that won't work, b/c I tried it already, but I'll figure it out, b/c like you said, other people may know this better than you.

Good luck with the 5th Beta Zel.

Well, if it wasn't a Sun Stone, it may have been a Water Stone... I know it was a Stone 'cause I have a Slowking in my party ^.^

Some pokemon level issues I found in Shiny Gold X while you were on break:

-When you fight J&J at Silph Co., their arbok is only level 40 while the rest of their pokemon are level 52
-When you fight that Rocket who stole the machine part, his Golbat is only level 30 or something, a bit low compared to the rest of the game

I also noticed that most high level trainers seem to like using Double Team with their pokemon. Is it just a coincidence?

The levels issues, well, yes, they are problems. Though it really doesn't matter because with each release I need to edit all the trainers once again.

And Double Team is a common defensive strategy for most trainers... Mainly to annoy... :P

In most guides you pick up for Pokemon games, you get these route maps, cave maps, city maps, etc.. Would you be okay with my going though and screencapping a bunch of stuff like that for my guide.. thing?

Well, as you wish... But, try not to spoil the fun with showing the maps, or at least put the maps as an option.

Hey zel i want to play the game but i dont want to have to get a new file for the next release 3rd problem is that i dont want to miss any important scripts or really cool changes so how far can i play whilst still eluding the phantom restart (grammatical disaster lol :laugh:)

The thing is that I think I'll have to repoint most maps for the next release, meaning anywhere could not be safe (and as I always say... playing an older Beta save will lead to problems, the only safe bet is to start the game from the beginning)

Anyway, now every release takes more time than before, so most likely, it'll be funnier to start the game from the beginning, but that's just my opinion...

ps: what's the beta's lenghth

I wanna suppose in gameplay length... That depends on how fast you are... I cannot say how much time I have in my current game 'cause I need to be checking stuff a lot of time.

If it was how far the game goes, well, read the first post.

Now I need to finish the important maps of Celadon: Dept.Store, Game Corner and Gym... sigh...

Hello there,

Two quick glitches, everything else worked fine for me but for some reason the boat won't go to Kanto the second time. I'm on the boat and the sailor keeps saying they'll make an announcement. I've talked to everyone on the boat I could find and nothing seems to happen. Is there something I'm supposed to trigger? Same with the Celebi event, I go into union cave but nothing happens and Kurt doesn't react to the GS Ball at all.

Great hack so far.

I tried both of your solutions for both problems and neither of them worked. It might just be a fluke in my rom or something but the problem is still there.

This is an awesome hack.

The only problem is that due to the mix of K/J/H PKMN all together, I managed to fill 5/6 slots in the route between the first-second cities!

Hoenn PKMN is probably OK, but Kanto PKMN? Why not just go to Kanto and get them? I met a Pidgey...

Amazing how much work you put into something free (albiet a patch of a commercial game)

EDIT: Just remembered - D/P Pokemon centres, marts and gyms? Where'd that idea come from? O_o

Ahh OK, my memory must have gone slightly haywire...

I'm only 13!

Well I haven't played Crystal in a long time so...

Yeah, I take that back.

But Hoenn... wait a moment, my box was being used before I reached the city with the first gym...

As everybody knows... FR/LG don't have Hoenn PKMN in the wild... but then again, Zel is not Nintendo is he xD

some bugs, hope it helps:

-the town map... whew, look 4 yourself! XD
-at the beginning, when (dun remember who) says take this phone, it gives u the vs seeker. dunno if u already know, and if it's ok 4 u :P i know u'r trying put in the pokegear functions.
-the script that take the spearow with the mail north of goldenrod and says go to route 31 don't work, or, better, can't find anyone that want a spearow ^^ my fault?
-i downloaded the last version: in the burnt tower there's still the smashing rock. in the "old bugs" you said u removed it. what's the truth? :P
-ehr, i met the kurt's evil clone XD
*can't post url to other sites i haven't 15 posts -_-'*
www . zshare . net/image/31818270ced35d/
give him the white apricorn after the slowpoke well, then i came back after HM01 to obtain the charcoal. in this time, i found this. the busy kurtz says go away, the free one if u have apricorns bring them to me, so the ball wasn't ready yet. to you
-dunno how to evolve onix to steelix EEEEEK! (don't care, don't need an answer ^^)
-route 39 (moo-moo farm) can't use the bycicle. just add to the bugged place, i know u already notice this kind of bug.
-maybe u should limit someway the exploration in the cave on route 31, i reached the blackbelt the first time and pokemons at that point are usually lv.10-15 (nosepass lv20). do what u want, if u want to punish the non-flash-yet guys... ^^
-pika pika-pi? YES/NO XD carino!
-can't remember anything else, hope being useful ^^

compliments for ur hack, zel. i named my rival zel in your honor :D so now i fight both CARLOS and ZEL ^^

Correct me if I'm wrong, but will the Viridian City trainer House be back. Obviously it won't have the luxury of taking the trainer's party from mystery gift, but will it hold a few really good trainers that you can battle over and over? (Cal should make an appearance in there if there is a trainer house. He's the one with the Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr)
Also, if I remember correctly, in the Celedon Dept. Store you weren't allowed to buy stones, will this change?
Will the Rocket underground hideout under the game corner still be in there?
Will there be a radio tower in lavender or will it still be a memorial tower?.
what will the new building in vermilion be?
anyway if you get a chance and would like to address these questions feel free, if you would rather let us all figure it out in the next beta (released whenever you decide) thats fine too.

Most of these are glitches we already know about I think some are new
1. Already known
2. Not a glitch, as of now there is no way to make the phone an item.
3. look at the guy by the berry tree
4. Glitch but I think you just patched your rom wrong (But I may be wrong too)
5. Already known
6. Already known
7 ehr >.>
8. Thats not a glitch
Yay so just read the fist page and you will find all the glitches posted so far.

Edit: Beaten again! Can you believe that?!

Sevii Islands = no, because Johto uses the Sevii Islands space
Whirl Islands = Yes, because they were in the original gold (which is where Lugia is located)

I know that there's a tool to put maps in games and places to fly to and one of the hacks around here has the johto map so mabee you could look into that when you release the next beta. Just a suggestion, keep up the fantastic work!

I have 2 questions. First, there appears to be a glitch in the Dragon's Den. After I get the Dragon Fang, I talk to Claire and it freezes up! Why?! I got the new beta, not cheating, everything! My 2nd question is, why aren't you using my music? :( I'll send you a couple more, but for the most part...

Remember, the latest beta was created 2-3 months ago.
Zel said that he would input the songs in Beta 5 and further.
