It really it a good hack of Ruby. Im at the part where you deal with those 9 guys who seem retarded. I just wish that room with the security system was a little easier. Ive had to save after every step I made....

EDIT: I just now made it through there....You are an evil genius...That securtiy area pissed me off more than the first time I played Pokemon Blue and got to Lavender Town without Flash....

I know I might sound noob, but I've finished the New Mauville thing, and then somehow that Gleis guy's been taken. What do I do now? I have to go rescue him, but where do I go?

EDIT: Does the Island of Calm have to do anything with it?
DOUBLE-EDIT: never mind, I found out how to do it.

Also, another problem, I can't progress in the hack. I got Gleis' Pokegear back and then I can't move in any direction. I have a screenshot of it, but I can't upload it as I don't have 15+ posts yet.

I can't go in ANY direction- up, down, left or right. I can't even go back through the door I came in...

Heheh. Yes, I'm quite fond of my puzzles. The Inquisition Boardroom, the Madio Caves, the S.S. Cangrejo... and there are more to come, have no fear of that.

Also, there are 10 of them. Mikov, Bobov, Gunkov, Karkov, Robotnov, Rolv, Sputnov, Vladov, Adolv, and Asimov. Together, they are the Deadly Seven... or are they something more? Play on to find out...

This is odd. I've never encountered this problem before. I've just checked the script and can't find anything wrong with it... All I can suggest is going back to your last save point and trying again. Or perhaps your Ruby ROM is broken. I had a problem similar to this in someone else's hack (I forgot whose or which), and taking a clean ROM and applying the patch resolved the issue.

One thing I've noticed - if you go redeem the token for the thundercub, but your inventory is full, you'll lose the pet. Is there a way to prevent it?

Also, (though I haven't tested it on a fresh game) battling Norman still gives me the old error...

That's odd. I'm certain I've fixed Norman - it worked for me. I'll have another check and see if there's anything I've accidentally done to him.

As the Thunder Cub, I hadn't tested it with a full inventory. I think I'll have to fix that. In case you hadn't figured it out yet, the Mush Mask, the Cologne, the Spark Token and the Thunder Cub are links in a very, very long item chain that isn't finished yet, and eventually ends in the Meathouse with the accidental summoning of a very rare and powerful Pokémon.

EDIT: I just played through the Petalburg Gym sidequest again, and Norman definitely works for me. Are you sure you've got the latest IPS?

EXTRA SUPER FUN EDIT: Put up a new IPS. This one has a more kindly Count D who will refund your Spark Token for you if you don't have room for a Thunder Cub, and also a man in the Meat House who will actually give you TM Water Pulse now instead of just talking about it.

Cuterline-After speaking with Usher, jump down the hole and go to a small area to the left of the place where you go down to the bottom floor. You'll find a broken elevator here. You must work out how to fix it so you can progress...

I know but how do I fix it I really want to progress

Spoiler:

Go down to the bottom floor of the submarine. Surf around until you catch a Magnemite. If you run out of Pokéballs, whacking the Pokéball dispenser in the little room up the stairs in the top right of the bottom floor will yield 3 of them. Make sure your Magnemite has ThunderShock (almost all of them do) and bring it back to the elevator...

No problem. Always happy to help a fellow human being fix an elevator with a sentient flying electromagnet.

Yep - but it may be a bad rom or a problem with the save (or something completely different). Unless it is vital to beat him, I think I can live without that fight

BTW - I know that one of the catchable diseased Pokemon is Graveill, but I can't seem to find the second one...

And I think that the pets could be made more interesting - compared to the Pup and Sparkly pony, they are somewhat boring (mostly because they're old and well known creatures )

Oh, and did You increase the chance to find a shiny mon? I've already found two random ones (a Zigzagoon and a Sandshrew)...

[deets456]

hi great hack, but how come at the elevator I have a magnemite that knows thundershock it stil says that it's broken. Am I doing something wrong?

[Baronnecro]

if it is indeed four horsemen n such shouldn't it be Wormwood not Snakewood? just a thought.

[DuoRyan]

How about Pokemon Hoenn ruin or Corrupted Hoenn

[Tcoppy]

I like snakewood more and its his choice what he names it

And I just defeated the elite four...wierd I expected to battle Landon anyway I am stuck at trying to go to sootopolis how do I solve that maze through the cave that connects fortree and lilycove

What Ive found out is: All of them are insane. But right now, Ive gotten past them and Im now stuck in Madio Cave (the cave next to the Safari Zone) and I now dub that part your most evil creation so far....

EDIT: Im way past that stuff and Im taking a short break to get my mind ready for the Elite 4.

[Yuukihime]

I am enjoying this hack immensely <3. It's definitely an awesome hack, and it was an excellent hack to play to pass Halloween.

I'm wondering though. I'm going to rescue Gaiels (or whatever the heck his name is) and I can't find their hideout, the desert is blocked by a rock smash thingy, and I can't cross the way to fortree because of blockages. So I'm like, "where do I go?" Q_Q

It's not vital to beat Norman. He's just a sidequest. And no, I haven't increased the shiny rate. I've never found any in Snakewood apart from the shiny Aerodactyl in the desert.
I liked my pets, but if you have any suggestions to change them - except the Thunder Cub and the Sparkly Pony - then I'm open to them.

The other catchable Zombiemon are Moulder and Yuck, and they will be available to catch in Senex's lair.

You cannot yet go to Sootopolis; the hack doesn't go that far. I am in the middle of making that bit.

Now, the Madio Caves are a tricky puzzle, with a great many solutions. Only one route leads from the Fortree entrance to the Lilycove entrance, but tangents will take you to a hidden area where you may encounter the Pokémon Cinderco, to several trainers, to part of Fort Draco, to a secret area in Haruko's Gym, and even to alternate universe, although I haven't finished that part yet. In answer to your question, there is no easily memorisable way to get through the caves. All I can say is that, if you end up in the long, thin tunnel that's two walkable squares wide, go down the bottommost ladder and follow the path. I think that's the one that lets you out.

Head to the Island of Calm, that tiny island on Route 110. It's bigger than you think, and the guard should let you in now.

IMPORTANT EDIT: New IPS up! You can now progress after the Elite Four, all the way until you warp to Pacifidlog Town! No further than that, but still... It's good.

I sincerely doubt that. Anyway, my let's play came to an unexpected end when an ...ahem... uh, well, a moderator closed it after the first post. pfeh.

Spoiler:

Take it to the engine (bottom left corner of the map) and use it on the engine. When the engine starts running again, go up the way you came and talk to Usher.

[cheatfreak23]

I have recently finished the Elite 4 and made it to Pacifdlog Town. Im still wondering about the phone call my character got in the sewers, but Im in no rush to finish a good game. I will admit though, starting with Baltoy may have been a bad idea since even now, my Claydol is usually the first of my Pokemon to faint, and he's Lvl 100 now!

That ringing phone... ominous, isn't it? However, you'll have to wait until I finish the abandoned ship in order to retrieve the Mystery Caller's artefact and discover what happens when you deliver it to him.

Otherwise... Wow, your Claydol's level 100? My six Pokémon (Radiorange, Buffalon, Zeburaika, Metagross, Emonga and Golem, as shown in the Hall of Fame screenshot in the first post) are all only level 60-ish themselves, and they've beaten everyone up to Pacifidlog reasonably easily...

Well......as per my username, I had to.....cheat. I used the MOD shop, inf money, and inf PP codes to actually make it through the game. Without the codes, I was never making it past the Mr Briny's hut.....That's how tough the game was for me....

EDIT: My team currently is Claydol, Exploud, Hariyama, Swellow, the shiny Areodactyl, and a Gyarados (from the Magikarp that held Surf). I would have never survived the game if I didnt use those RageCandyBars....And even now, my Claydol is usually the first of my Pokemon to faint, while my Exploud and Hariyama are my best two Pokemon.

EDIT 2: I dont know where this Meat House you talked about with the Water Pulse TM is...

[Yuukihime]

Wow the Island of Calm was right under my nose. I passed by it like 7 times XD. So I just got to the intruder system part thing.

I can say two things about this part of the game.

1.) You know how to make a maze. Seriously, I got to the other side of the table and am trying to get past it. xD
2.) The Deadly "Seven" are so hilarious, I love them. XD

The Meat House is a hidden area only accessible after you've defeated Veracity. It's in an area that traditionally is of no use to anyone whatsoever. Maybe you haven't even visited it yet.

Well, you can be reassured on two counts: 1.) The Deadly Seven return many, many times, and 2.) There are more thrilling mazes in store.

Since so many people have posted asking about the name, I'll explain it. Snakewood is one of the world's hardest and densest woods, with a specific gravity of 1.2. It even sinks in water. This is actually relevant to the hack, only I can't tell you why because it'll spoil the end.
