Hi all ! (I'm french so excuse my english )

I've just played all day to Pokemon Genesis, and it's just soooo good, I love this universe, I love the starters (Trapinch ! Even if the 2 first gyms are very difficult with him ), I love the new towns and gym leaders... There's really few bugs so it's very pleasant to play it I've played Sapphire before it and I really found Genesis better...

But I'm so impatient of this game to continue. I'm stuck in Palerose city and it's a little bit frustrating now that I cannot go through So, will this hack have a suite ? And if yes, when ? Such a great work has been done on this game yet, but now I wanna see the end

Just a few problems and questions :
- I've found 2 HM Waterfall in the icy cave (can't remember the name, sorry)
- The two last gym leaders gave me the same TM, Rock Tomb
- In Latim city, in the library, we can find trainers who have high-level Pokemon, and quite unbeatable with the ones we have at this state of the game... We're not forced to beat them, but it's a little bit surprising to find 5 Pokemon level 25 against my Trapinch and Taillow level 19.
- I can't have the Bicycle in the bike shop
- There's a swimmer who makes the game freeze, just after that we have the HM Surf. He speaks in a odd language and freezes the game
- This game really needs a real map (Maybe there is one, but I didn't find it...)
- Do you plan to introduce some other 4G Pokemon in this game ? The rival has a Bronzor, and the gym leader of Palerose has a Dusknoir, but with no image of it :/

And, once again, I congratulate everyone who helped to make this game and I wish that it will be continued soon

Your Hack looks awsome!
The Tiles are stunning!!
Did you insert yourself?

[Beastof2000]

I'm going to be doing an LP/Review over this game.
Also my friend said that there's a glitch. Where your supposed to get Mega Kick you get Beat Up.
EDIT: I got to the part where you exit out of the cave. And it keeps freezing whenever I go into the battle seen with my Rival. And I know I have a clean rom because I gave my rom and the same emulator through skype file share. And his works fine.

Not a huge concern but I do have a question... when I change the name of my fire red and then change the name of the .sav and .sgm... I can not seem to continue the .sav.

The one where you save in a map, it seems to not patch over. Is anyone else having that problem? It isn't a big concern as the .sgm still can play, but I always thought that the .sav was the one that was supposed to carry over in the new betas... and this "problem" is showing that the .sav might not carry over and I might just have to start all over after each new beta

I remember being a Beta Tester for this hack, I believe I was doing some other stuff too. I still have your message. Wow, this hack is looking amazing, Good Luck.

Help with the hacking should ALWAYS be free, after all we are here to help one another! Before you know it we'll be trying to sell our games and our work or hacking skills, and then let me ask you what makes us different than nintendo corporation - besides good games acctually ?!

This happened to me, too! In the city with the Bike Shop that you get to when you exit the cave with the fossils.

But all of the game before that part was great. I really liked it.

This has been addressed: either try holding down the emulator's fast forward button (spacebar by default) for a while and sometimes the battle will eventually load, or use Advance Map to move or disable the Rival battle event. I recommend trying the fast forward fix first because one of the Rival battles nets you the Vs Seeker (and in this game, you need it!).

I also got the freeze with the rival... that seems to be a common problem

From what I've seen of this hack so far, it looks pretty cool. Just one problem I've had:
When I try to load my save file the *normal* way, it plays that stupid flashback thing, then freezes when it fades to black just before saying: "...and [PLAYER] saved the game at [LOCATION]." In other words, it crashes just before I can return to my saved file. I was on version 3.2, patched to a clean ROM (with which I've had no problems with other hacks, except Light Platinum, which is apparently not working for a lot of people). I've tried it on VBA and gpSP Kai (a GBA emulator for PSP), both crashed during the flashbacks. Any ideas?
Otherwise, it looks pretty cool. I'm eager to see how the story plays out, I might just have to rough it through savestates (which I hate being forced to use, 'cuz then what do you do when the Elite Four forces you to load it 'traditionally'?)

hey how long is the current beta(I've looked it up but it never tells me the exact amount of badges i can earn in this game)?

OK, I kinda figured out the problem...
The first few outdoors maps (the hometown and the first route, I think they're the only ones, but I'm not sure) have some bug that causes a crash when loading your saved file 'naturally' or accessing then exiting any Start menu commands that cause the overworld map to go away (Dex, party, bag, options, trainer card, pokenav). Maybe some of the early event scripts are flawed?
Anyway, as long as you don't save in the first town or route, you should be fine.

A bug to report: I cannot fight the rival kid before enetering the ferry after the 2nd badge, it goes into the battle then stops

*Points halfway up the page at my last post and the one below it* :p

It's a great Hack Thrace'

Its been a while now and I'm sure you've been progressing at this Hack.

Pokemon Genesis, It's a great name you chose and It reflects many meaning.
Very unique one, I must say.

You've come a long way Thrace and just so you know, you're almost at the
finish line. And I'm seeing a completed Pokemon Genesis sooner or later.

Good Luck on this one! And I'll be supporting your Hack. More Power Thrace!

[PlatinumJL]

I found a glitch I don't know if it has been reported before or not though...

On the route where you battle your rival with his bronzor for the first time, I went to the Pokemoncenter on that route healed. Then i used 'Teleport' and it took me to the Snow route I was really confused. So I am just backtracking now

[Thrace]

It kills me to write this but if I don't it'll be unfair to all the people waiting on a final release if I don't. I honestly can't see myself finishing Genesis so I'm no longer going to be working on it. I know I've always said that I won't leave PC until I've finished it but at this rate I'll never leave.

I meant to post in the team thread too but I don't think its necessary, the thread is already dead. I would however like to say how much I appreciate the work everyone put into it. You guys were the reason I kept Genesis alive and I really hate myself for letting all your hard work go to waste. colcolstyles in particular I am grateful for in allowing me to add features that I'd never be able to by myself. It was amazing to be able to work with everyone, you guys are all incredible hackers (which is why I picked you guys :D). Its because of you guys that I'm releasing one final beta (plus a little extra something ;D) with all the work you guys did for me, you can find it on the first page. I'm not even sure if its even playable and its probably not a good idea to release it but it wouldn't feel right for me to keep it or just simply delete it.

I could tell you guys about how busy I am or the amount of stress that I have to handle (to which Genesis plays a big part) but when it comes down to it, its just that I don't enjoy hacking anymore. No matter how long the breaks I take from hacking or how much inspiration I get I just can't bring myself to open up A-Map and start working on Genesis again.

I can't began to tell you guys what it means for me that you've made Genesis so popular (over 15,000 downloads?!). When I think back to the day I posted my first thread for it; I was so nervous about what people were going to think. I never imagined that it would be as popular as it is now. I feel kind of ashamed that I'm giving up now considering how sure I was from the day I started it that I would finish Genesis. I owe this community so much and I feel like such a jerk for giving back so little. I hope everyone understands, Genesis and I had a good run here and it sucks to think that I'll probably never be back. I could keep writing forever but theres not much else to say except goodbye.

tl;dr: I'm not working on Genesis anymore so could a mod please close this?

...wow, that was, uh, unexpected and emotional. End of an era, kinda.

Closed~
