Yeah, that was one of the things I had already planned out. Probably have a link to them with Spoilers on it or something, at least for the Routes and Caves.

And Noland..

Great Work, I've played since I found the last topic link, Very good, Although the problem is trying to Fly because its the Sevii Islands map wise. Good job anyways. (And I hope you don't mind that I didn't have any Water Pokemon to learn surf at the time that I opened a FireRed Rom that has gameshark codes in it then open ShinyGold to get the medicine).
And I see with the Slowpoke Tail thing you added the text "(Poor Thing)" which I don't remember from Silver (Never got Gold).

[cal.kriptic]

Love the game its a real inspiration, hope you keep up the amazing work and complete it! xD

It comes from the idea that I want SG to be a mix of generations, that's why there are GBC, GBA and DS graphics.

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

I'm not that sure if you have the newest version because of the rock, it must not be there, on either version (normal or X), if I took it out of the list is because I removed it.
And about Kurt, I'll follow your steps to see what I get once I get some time (I bet it won't happen to me XD)

(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.

The Trainer House will contain our good friend CAL (because that's what I'm gonna get when I get to Viridian, so I'll stick to what I get)
Yes, you will not be able to get Stones till much later in the game.
To Jess and Jamie's surprise, the Hideout is not there anymore... (just like in the original, after all)
The new building will be decided later...

You are not supposed to talk to her. You are supposed to step in a tile that makes her dissappear from the Den, so you will not see her till you take the item (the Dragon Fang) on the floor. Once you get the item, she will appear, give you the Badge and then disappear again.

If something didn't work like I mentioned, tell me exactly what went wrong, as it could help me to spot a leak in the script (or it could mean: either a flag problem, or a rom problem, though improbable)

Yeah, the good thing is that the hackers are really giving a good effort to improve their games (I'd be happy if SG contributed to improving the overall level of hacks :D) And, I saw a lot of cool stuff thought in many hacks. They have the advantage of being more original than me, 'cause I must stick to a set story...

Yeah, the original Gold's item's descriptions are quite short, so I usually add some stuff (most of the time is funny stuff ), to fit a few more words there.

Yes, I think I know what you are refering about. Yes, it's because the author (Marnic) posted his work there. I really didn't know of his existance till he decided to PM me his work
And now he's colaborating with new sprites.

That's all I have (cause I said to avoid the pirate stuff, just say NO to them, as always ), and also stop the "playing the game on flashcards and that kind of stuff" at least for a while, to avoid getting offtopic, thanks.

Onto the game, if you checked the First Post, I have updated the Progress Section, as I have finally stepped out of Celadon. Now I'm heading to Cycling Road, and mainly I'm heading to a lot of Routes, so it'll all be just fixing a bit the maps and editing A LOT of battles, but it'll not be hard work, so I expect to make them fast, and in the end, reaching Fuchsia by Monday (Thursday Uni starts again, but since it won't be that hard at the beginning I'll keep the rythm for a while)

...Sigh... I'm breathless (huh? I thought I was writing? O.o), well, see ya later!

[Momoko]

Okay,two questions about Shiny Gold.

No 1: What is the Viridian trainer club,or whatever Zel was talking about earlier in one of his posts,and Cal is a member of it??? Can somebody please explain.

No 2: Who is this Ashly sprite people are talking about?

PS: If some of this has to do with Beta4,I haven't finished it yet (it took a long time to get roms working on Windows Vista O.o)

Ah I see how that works. That answers my comment. I don't find the Pokemarts as eye pleasing though.

This really inspires me to make my hack. Of course when one cannot find resources *COUGHCOUGHHINTHINTromCOUGHCOUGHWHEEZE* one usually gives up trying. Ah well, still I pen down my maps on pen and paper. Maybe someone will make them come to light.

Anyways, are you going to make anything after Mt. Silver? Or are you going to make that bit 100% like Gold?

[Youji]

Sorry for the late replay zel but welcome back. And you know that I highly love your hack. But I can't play it at the moment. I don't have any ROM... But I play it asap when I have my FR-ROM. Keep on.

[UnitRico]

Well zel, I didn't post on the last topic of ShinyGold, but the game still is great. I only have one question, if the beta5 comes out, is it possible to patch it over the beta4 ROM without losing my current game?

~Cya, UnitRico

[♠εx]

I have a two questions.

1. Will mewtwo be added into the game after you collect all badges.
2. Will you add any extra maps if you have some leftovers?

The palettes and trees match, I like all the maps and how you edited them . There were only a few glitches when I was playing the game, one was that after I beat team rocket at the slowpoke well I couldn't go to Kurt at all. When I went out of the house and back in the game screen turned black and froze. Dunno if this has happened before.

Anyway, nice job .

Ok just to help you out. The trainer house was an installation in Viridian City where, in the gbc series, it would allow you to battle in the basement, the default trainer in the basement was Cal. However, if you happened to use the mystery gift function with one of your friends, the game records your friends Pokemon and then your friend replaces Cal. since mystery gift doesn't work like that any more, I think that a proper way to rebuild it ould be to have about 4 or 5 trainers that you could battle more than once.
As for the Ashley character, she is a new character that Zel put in. She is the Cianwood gym leader Chuck's Niece. she appears now and then after you defeat her in front of her uncle's gym.
I believe that the Asley character is the only thing in this post that has to do with B4 since you cannot access viridian in B4.
Hope this helps

[ChrisG14]

Well, I PMed dirk, and he said that you can go ahead and update the walkthrough. We'll keep trying to make it better though.

Actually, Chuck's niece's name is Amelia. "Ashley" is actually Ashlee, the Pokemon Thief who steals a] your Badges and b] Silph's Prototype at certain points in the game.

If you mean to countune you game, Yes, but instead patch over the same rom just get a new rom and rename your sav file to the same name as the rom

1. Yes
2. ask Zel, not my call

[Apple Inc.]

Something I noticed while playing was that if you get the coin case and hit the slots right away, You already have 28 coins. I don't recall if that was in the original or not but please look into it.

You are mixing characters up.

Ashlee is a girl(thief) trainer and rival who has an evil pikachu

[EarthsVisitor]

Zel,
You're doing a great job with your hack.
You truly are a great inspiration to many of the begginer hackers.
I think at least 1/3 of all Hackers, always say to me, "Yeah, I started hacking after I played Shiny Gold."

Keep up the great work.
I personally, HAVE NOT, played your hack yet.
But that's because I'm waiting until it's finished, and I'm SURE I'll love it.

That's happened to me before the Old man isn't there then I take a step and BAM he appears out of nowhere. It's pretty mind-boggling.

You must take th mail off of the spearow, then it should work, I had the same problem.
