Well I'm not sure which you have or haven't played yet but I'm starting now on Victory Fire. Great hack with an interesting storyline and cool sprites too. The grammar needs to be fixed but you still get an idea of what the text is saying.

DarkRisingGirl, you just made me love you with the reference to my favorite ROM Hack in Millennium City.

As far as my progress so far, Im at a point where Im considering releasing the Salamence I have so I can get a new Dragon type to replace it due to Dragonbreath being Salamence's only good Dragon move and it being so weak.

lol Thanks, but it should've learned Dragon Pulse at Lv30 when it evolved into Shelgon. Outrage may be coming soon so don't give up on your dragon. ^.^

It never learned Dragon Pulse, evolved into Shelgon at 31 I think, and I never use Outrage due to the Confusion effect. Plus, my Salamence was already Lvl 100 by the time I got to the SS Titanic.

Now that Ive beaten all the Gym Leaders, Im pretty much done with the game as far as I can tell. I will be reworking my team so that none of the Pokemon Ive got have been tainted by my use of Rare Candies. Im thinking of using the Giratina I caught as my Dragon type, a tossup between Sawk and Throh for my Fighting type, a new Jellicant for Water (never saw a female one in the entire hack), a new Victini for my Fire and Psychic (Or that Chandelure for Fire, but then I'd need to drop Giratina for Rayquaza as Dragon...)

All in all, Ive enjoyed few references I caught and had a blast following the story, but wasnt that keen on the idea of so much level grinding just to beat the Gyms. I mean, even with the VS Seeker (which you get after beating Brock the first time, which he's in the 40s range and Im probably only around 25 at the time) and then the Lucky Eggs (which are in the freaking Ice city which is the 5th or so Gym) to level up, it's still so much grinding that I'd rather just start with a Lvl 20 Pokemon Starter and grind up from there.

Did you defeat N & The 4 Knights, as well as Adrian, the champ?

Thanks...

You can find the Move Deleter in Montage Fortress. His house is beside the PokeMart.

Haa Go on with the aggressive approach then. By the way beating Dark Lugia is really a mess but I just used two moves and he was a fried egg ( Double Team and Thunderwave from my Eelektross )

Luc is best as mixed sweeper, so get a nature that boosts either of attacking stats or speed stat (the attacking stats are better as Luc isn't that much of a quick Pokemon...) and decreases one defense stat (as Luc doesn't hold much anyway) probably the defense as special defense can sometimes come in handy against fire types.
As for the moveset... Zen Headbutt - Crunch/Shadow Ball - Aura Sphere - Ice Punch.
The second move depends on your choice and nature. If you have +Att, go for Shadow Ball, if +SpAtt go for Crunch (yes, it's reversed in the 3rd generation)

It's XD001 in other words, Shadow Lugia, so it's obviously Dark/Ghost =D (should have been Dark/Ghost with Wonder Guard, though...)

1) Giratina should not be caught as it belongs to Yami but screw that... it has only Shadow Ball and Dragon Claw as moves so it might not be that useful...
2) 3rd generation games do not allow form changing according to gender... (until Jambo finishes his patch, though)

Wow this game is soooo buggy XD
When i use fly on a certain town it shows me one place, but when i use it to go there, it just takes me
to other town o-o
And when i use teleport it just teleports me to other freaky places o-o

Teleport is not good move to use in hacks as it follows the original Fire Red routes and most of hacks have different maps so this is what happens...
It's not only this hack's feature...
It's similar to double battle cloning bug.

I didnt know what I was supposed to do about Dragon Stones, so I ended up deleting the hack. I didnt really see it as too important, but I might go for another fresh start later on, although I'll more than likely have to give myself a Lucky Egg to start off so Lvling up isnt as much of a chore.

I caught it when he told me that he had weakened it. I do that with every Event Legendary: I catch first then defeat. Only Giratina was glitched with the MissingNo Circle and his Dex entry zoomed to Blitzle's. And mine had Shadow Claw and Dragon Claw. As far as the whole female Frillish and Jellicant, I didnt really mind much.

LOL. Yea I got half way through my E4 fight and realized that Krook was missing oh well. Used Rayquaza as my sacrifice to revive Gengar for the Destiny Bond . I ended up just waiting until that Dark Chaos move ran out of pp and spammed EQ with Landorus.... I guess I scrambled his egg haha

You my friend are a psychic. I was think of going with almost the exact same set. A Mild natured Lucario (+SpAtk -Def). Oh yes have to love the original physical/special splits. OH GOD! Shadow Lugia w/ wonder guard would be awful. I think I would actually cry then LOL

Is there any towns that have the large department stores where i can purchase vitamins? As soon as i get there i'm going to grind for money and start officially working on my team. Deciding if i want to go with a blaziken or infernape.

[k-van]

I think I am stuck... I beat the gym in Millenium City and I can't use fly because I don't have the badge for it. Is there anywhere I can go?

Twist Woodlands is your next destination. You have to go to the gym there because its open now. If you're stuck at the DR HQ, download the new patch and go inside the cave door on huntik route to return to the main world map.

[cheatfreak23]

Just so folks will be clear:

If you want to use Fly, you must beat the Gym Leader in Mystic Falls. After you clear out the Goons on the SS Titanic, exit the ship then run like you're going to the Pokemon Center but keep on going to the left. You'll see a Gym sign and 4 trainers in a closed off area that's not really a building. That's the Gym itself. Just beat the leader and you'll be able to use Fly.

What !! Then how do you except to beat it if Wonder Guard comes in too.

There is in fact a way to do it. It just takes some creative figuring.

Doesn't wonder guard reduce HP to 1?

Use toxic and wait a turn.

Wonderguard makes it so that only Super Effective moves hit the Pokemon that has the Wonderguard ability. While Toxic is a viable option, there is a way that alot of folks overlook.

Nah, that's only in Shedinja's case as it has 1HP as default.

Toxic, Entry Hazards, Sandstorm/Hail... There are many choices how to beat that kind of Pokemon.

We were just thinking how to beat it if it hypothetically had Wonder Guard as I suggested.

Yes its speciality is wonder guard which means that only super effective moves hits shedinja, which i said earlier like wing attack, stone edge etc
