Yeah he knows. It'll be changed in beta 6.

If it's the "normal" version, just get any guide for Gold, as it's gonna be the same thing. For the "X" I'm not sure, I always think on the levels and movesets as I reach that part while playing.

It's gonna be located in Mt.Moon, in B6.

For the new island you could make Carlos be there and you can fight him every so often and if you win he will dis you and won't battle you for awhile and when he will re-battle you he will have stronger Pokemon.

Dont worry, as the strongest rivals (except for Silver who wont get an event but will be present) will be moving into the Islands as well. Most likely some of the rivals (like Ard, or Dante & Rina) will not be showing up as they are not really that strong to deserve to be there (what about J&J? I'm not sure yet)

What is known is that a new (and the final) rival will appear on this location.

I cant use/see TMs or berries. Even when i get new tms and berries i cant use them... anyone have a solution or is my savegame screwed? I havent played pokemon in years and my favorite pokemon game was crystal. This hack got me playing again .

Cheating on a hack is not recommended.

No need for the Ruby and Sapphire as in Pallet Town (after finishing an event first), Oak will give you the chance to register you as a Professional Pokemon Trainer, which has the exact same effect as getting the Ruby and Sapphire, you'll be able to trade with those games (however, he'll offer this only once and if you decline, you are screwed)

The Move Relearner already exists, in Blackthorn City. But Move Tutors dont exist yet.

Yeah, but probably that was the only hard battle through the game (I dont think that, to me X is hard, but other people may not agree )

If so, why not name them after ppl here in pc?

Good luck!

Not a good idea. You put the name of someone of PC and then I get hundreds of people wanting their name in the game.

Going up against a level 5 slowpoke with yawn and curse, with an already high defense status is slightly unfair for new gamers; the battle is just too imbalanced for the level. I think that what I'd suggest is move Carlos in to either the entrance to route 30, or the entrance to Cherrygrove. This way, you can train prior in order to make the battle easier.

Of course, everything after that battle is fine and dandy. Great job with the hack!

Simple: If you arent up to the challenge, dont try the X, and stick with the normal version. Works like some kind of warning.

Still, moving the battle in isn't so much of a problem ye?

EDIT: One more question.. D-Did you increase the chance of shinies appearing in this patch or something? Or am I being insanely lucky when, on a run where I mistook the latest beta for beta4 in a locked thread, I found a shiny geodude, and NOW, on the correct version, I found a shiny caterpie?

EDIT Again!: Oh now a shiny hoothoot too?! If you want picture proof, I can give it. But if I see ONE MORE, this is odd.

Yeah, I also dont know how other people seem to get extremely lucky. On my two years of making SG, I only found two shinies in the wild (not counting the Red Gyarados)
But perhaps there could be a patching error or something wrong somewhere. Who knows? In the end, as long as it's not a constant shiny encounter, it's not an error.

Dont worry, but just remember that there's gonna be a lot of changes in the music department. Dont pay that much attention to how those tracks sound.

[nooooooooooo]

hey zel this is just a thought but you should add another rival that gets the pokemon that you or the main rival didnt choose like if i got totodile then the main rival would get chicorita and the new rival would get cyndaquil

[Stalin Malone]

That's a great idea! I second that. I so enjoy seeing/dealing with multiple rivals in SG. The more the merrier.

[ssj92]

new rival would be great. he said on his new island that we will meet a new rival so ya. also we can;t have too many rivals9gotta watch those slots available )

[Eeveon]

That, that does sound good, but, maybe you should meet the rival after you enter Eckruetect(sp?), and the new rival should be the female character, if you pick to play as a boy, or it should be a boy, if you pick to play as a girl.

[KhaosKnight]

WOW, 124 pages.....wow, i guess zel is doing something good in this hack. I knew that SG was popular here, but this hasnt left the first page since it got unlocked. Hmm well good luck zel, i might get around to playing this sometime.

GL, Zel :D

ya i forgot to mention about the boy or girl thing but it just comes down to what zel thinks about it it would be cool though

[blackpen92]

Right... i forgot the human nature (and over that im afraid that ppl think that it was just a crappy excuse to put myself in SG...but if it were to go ahead, there would much more important and deserving ppl than me)

As long as it doesnt stay outside the gym... (battling carlos with 2 half-dead pokes is hard, morty bites)

And shinys... apart from the red gyara i havent found a single shiny in the INTIRE advance games... and i've played sapphire, emerald , firered and SG, plus minor hacks (LOD)

But i have one shiny on diamond, without the radar, but... it's a shiny BIDOOF. God hates me.

[The Immortal]

Great job zel, I have a few question though:

Can we trade pokemon with people around the world using VBA Link?
Does the 'X' version only have harder trainers/pokemon or is the whole story/quest made harder?

[I can haz haxburgrz?]

i could be wrong but i believe that the battles are the only harder part.. as only the trainers poke lvl's and movesets are edited for x

[smashmaniac2008]

Yes thats a great idea Gold (if you chose girl) or Crystal (if you chose boy) will battle you at random times with the pokemon you have an advantage to he/she will be nice to his/her pokemon and be the total opposite of Silver your other rival.

Try to read the first post on this topic, then you should know enough about Shiny Gold, for the time being.

[phelex002]

yes I have,just something I dont understand or knows. it is about the B6 of SG!when I searched the internet using google,it appeared SG B6! I am very surprise!however,I dont know whether it is Zel s hack roms or not.please tell me! I havent found this answer from the first page! the pokemon fans from China are confuse to this things as well as me .
I just want to get the answer of these things!

[Aquilae]

Well, from what I understand you found SG B6 on Google, and you are asking whether it is real or not? Well, it is not as it has not been released by zel yet, he is working on it currently.

The attachments are for the latest beta of Shiny Gold, so if a supposedly newer beta isn't on the official thread, something is not right.

[Stalin Malone]

Would it be possible in the areas that were added and not originally in GSC to use RSE music?

[Danman2327]

lol. its not only the hack ROM that got problems. the original fire red rom had problems too. i used cheats on a hack rom and it didnt turn out like fire red/shiny gold. so i guess its my emulator that caused it.
By the way the beta6 that you found is probubly fake because it hasnt been released yet. I have see hacks of zel's hack(one i saw where you can catch all the pokemon in the wild). I wouldn't play them cause they probubly have problems glitches etc.

Oh! It's just in the X version? I thought it would've been in the normal shinygold as it was 'no different' but with higher levels.
That's ok then, I suppose it works.

Another thing, because of the higher levels in Shinygold X. Are you going to be raising the levels of the wild pokemon as well? Because the elite 4 are at level 60 or so, wouldn't it be a bit tedious to be training against level 35 odd pokemon in victory road?

[jinglin]

Can anyone please explain to me which is the newer version?

Shinygold X B5
or
Shinygold B5

[destinedjagold]

X Version is a more challenging version of the current beta.
If you wanna have a challenging game, the X beta is for you then, but if you wanna play the average game, then B5.

Yeah, it would be nice to see higher level wild pokes in some areas of X.

[Stalin Malone]

Zel, have you considered making Golem/Alakazam/Gengar/Machamp gained by happiness evolution instead of level evolution?
