Stealing from ANY trainer would make the game too easy; why bother catching any wild Pokémon at all when all you have to do is beat a trainer to get a Pokémon? But you will be able to steal from quite a few trainers, and many of the Pokémon you can steal will be ones you can ONLY get by stealing...

Yes, it is wrong. Beating either of the gyms, or claiming the Psychic TM, will mess up the game later down the road. At this point, you're gonna have to restart the game. There is a reason it is recommended in the first post NOT TO DO THAT. (I still really need to edit that post. Among many...

Thanks, although the only site that thread links to is Play-Asia. :P No point reviving it to ask for more links, I suppose. The simple Google search I performed turned up sites that charged about the same as Play-Asia, or else looked kind of fishy.

I'm trying to get my hands on the Japanese SoulSilver--I mean the legit game, not a ROM--and am looking for the easiest way to purchase it online. Preferably through some place more formal than eBay, and they have to be able to ship to the US. I've done some searches, and so far the cheapest...

A different Grunt robbed that guy--and was in turn robbed by Red. You meet that Grunt on your way to Cerulean City.

The next alpha? It'll end after you get through the Rock Tunnel, right before Route 9. This time, there will be a big fence and a character standing there who says "this is the end of the current alpha!" so that hopefully no one in the thread will be asking where to go next. :P Well... less...

There are at least a screenshots scattered around from the next alpha. Mainly the remade Rock Tunnel maps, but I think there are some others. They're nothing terribly exciting, though. Don't feel like you have to go track them down or anything.

But you already get a Pokédex within the first five minutes of gameplay. :P Rockets don't really care about info gathering. They'll happily steal Prof. Oak's info on Pokémon as it becomes available, thanks to the work of Red. You get a Pokédex for your own benefit, so that you can recognize the...

There's gonna be no Flash key item. There's gonna be no Flash, period. As it turns out, the FR/LG hero just has very bad night vision, and needs Flash to see in the caves. Rocket Grunts have no need for nonsense like Flash or a flashlight or whatnot. (I despise Flash. I'd rather get rid of the...

That's going to be removed in the next alpha. When I was making the hack, I relocated the tile that triggers the original ghost Marowak script, so that I could still go back and test out that script while I was working on the new script upstairs. And I accidentally left it there when I released...

Huh, weird... Wonder how that fixed it? Anyway, glad to know the problem cleared up.

This is a rare error that some people run into on that floor. It's not supposed to be like that; the foggy floors are supposed to look the same as they do in FireRed, but for some people the fog stays and the floor disappears. So far I haven't been able to isolate the cause or come up with a...

Let's say "yes." In the next alpha, it'll be impossible to do that. It'll also be impossible to beat the Marowak through any method other than ACTUALLY beating it.

Dude, Butch is already in there. :P Which means Cassidy will show up too, yes. As will Gideon from FR/LG. I'm still debating about whether or not I'll reference some of the other, lesser anime Rockets: Domino, Atilla, Hun, Prof. Sebastian, etc. We'll see. Yep! As long as you don't do anything...

You get to battle them. :D They're recurring characters, you'll run into them multiple times throughout the game.
