That is what I was thinking. While a previous poster was technically correct that Japanese Green was not equivalent to our Blue, neither was the Japanese Blue. If you ever play the Japanese Green, you'll see why they used Blue's engine... it's practically the same game with a few bugs fixed and...

Leaf Green actually is a remake of what we know as the Blue Version. The cartridges were Red and Green in Japan, but they changed Green to Blue for the US version originally. They probably should have called it "Water Blue" instead of "Leaf Green" to spare us the confusion. That being said, I'm...

Well, in my opinion, there's no practical reason to play Generation I or II anymore. Here's what dissuades me from playing them frequently, despite my nostalgia: 1. You can't trade Pokémon between those generations and any of the newer games. It makes you feel like anything you do on those...

At one point, I had Red, Blue, and Yellow. I lost Blue along with a white Game Boy Advance several years ago. It was in the cartridge slot when I lost it. I still have Red, but the board inside the game cartridge has come loose and it tends to lose my saved games very easily. It was the first...

I started with Generation 1, so that might make me a "Genwunner" by one definition. I will say, though, that I loved Generations 2 and 3 just as much as I liked 1. I eagerly awaited those games and I was never disappointed. I really can't understand why anyone would dismiss all the later games...

I'm having another hidden item issue with FireRed. The hidden items in the Underground Path between Cerulean and Vermillion are NOT appearing at all. The Itemfinder FAQ claims they appear after you get the V.S. seeker, but I've done so, and they are still not there. I'm becoming frustrated...

There is a guide that's telling me that it's possible to get Tinymushrooms and Big Mushrooms on the middle level of Mt. Moon with all the ladders going up and down (between the basement and the top floor), in Pokémon FireRed. There are certain rocks you're supposed to press A in front of, and...

Yes, I have one. So far, the only games I've gotten for it are Assassin's Creed III and Darksiders 2, though. I've also been using it for Netflix, and as a backup TV remote. The ability to play games on the gamepad while the TV is in use, comes in handy for me since my Mom watches TV all day...

Sorry to make a third post about this, but I thought I should point out that I actually DID try using that tool. It ruined my ROM the first time, unexpectedly, and I lost a day of fairly trivial work. Good thing I backup semi-regularly. I want to warn anyone using that tool to back up their ROMs...

Thanks, I looked over the threads a bit more carefully. I didn't have the patience to expand the move table, learn animation scripting, or look at RAM in VBA to figure out where moves start and end, so I took something of a shortcut. 1. I found a list of moves in the order they're listed in...

I'm working with Pokémon Ruby, and I'm trying to replace the move Cotton Spore with Electroweb (a move from Generation V). I've figured out how to edit the move name, description, and the actual effects of the attack using A-Tack and a hex editor with tables. But I have no idea how to change...

When I start a new game normally in Pokémon Emerald, and exit the truck... my Mom talks to me as soon as I exit the truck, and this begins a script that leads me inside the house. I'm in the process of moving this event to another town. I've gotten as far as having the player exit the truck...

Hello, Manipulation. You're probably getting tired of ROM hacking questions by now, but I have one for you... There's a "special" event called in Emerald near the beginning, when you select your Pokémon. Unfortunately, this event ALSO starts a battle with a wild Zigzagoon. I just want to...

I'm relatively new to this community, although I'm far from new to Pokémon itself. I started playing Pokémon with the Red Version in 1998, and I've been playing up to now with the Black Version. I haven't tried Black or White 2 yet, because they're in an uninteresting place to me. Looking...

Yes, I did create my account for this purpose. This site seems to be one of the best resource for Pokémon R/S/E hacking out there. Which is actually somewhat unfortunate, because it seems like there is a huge gap here between people with hex/ASM knowledge and people who rely on tools/scripting...
