I'm just wondering where i can buy pokeballs.
Sorry, you can't but Pokeballs until Drakebreath City, late in the game. But in Inhore City and beyond you can purchase Ultra Balls for $1200. When you reach Groment City Great Balls become available for $600.

In Central City you can find an Amulet Coin to help with funds. There are Pokeballs strewn out over the routes to pick up also.

Every single bit of portuguese I found has been translated. I don't know why people keep questioning this D:
Could you answer this just to be sure? =)
Snake, did you translate EVERY same string of level scripts?
By that I mean that that each level script has 9 or 10 same text strings and to get rid of portuguesse text, it's necessary to translate all strings.

lol I found a level 32 horsea in the area by the sand at marfeny lake now I have a lvl 33 seadra and I dont even have a single badge yet e.e

Im not complaining Im just saying come on seriously how much easier is that gonna make the game for people :l?
It was not intentional... just a luck on your side =D

One small issue I have with this game, and it is very minor, is that Mienshao has Arceus' icon in the party. Other than the other minor glitches that people have mentioned, which don't bother me, everything runs excellently so far (up to Seanport City). Really impressed with the game, thanks for translating it so quickly.
Yes, and Arceus has Mienshao's one. It's just a minor glitch that Wes did.

Hey is Elctivire supposed to level down after evolving? Cuz before evolution, it was like 39( idont remember exactly, it was somewhere above 38) and it suddenly leveled down to 37.
I've already said it, it's practically in every Ruby hack...

I've noticed one major problem with this hack, and that is that the Gym Leaders, Rivals, Elite Four, and Champions all have the regular battle theme, with the regular victory theme, as opposed to the themes that those special trainers normally have. And when you get a Gym Badge, you hear the regular item obtained theme as opposed to the Gym Badge obtained theme, can you please fix these music errors? Thank you
Wes did not do it so Snakey did not too =)

Actually, I thought I fixed all those. o.O

I fixed most of them, at any rate. Most trainers should ask you again after you say no. Or you can just say yes. Saying yes, and getting the 'you have too many pokemon' message, will let you get it later with everything but the eevee egg.
You sure? =D Those scripts needed some editing in commands =D

About time, I'd say...

The hell? Yes. I'm sure. Every bit of Portuguese text I found has been replaced with English text. How many ****ing times do I have to say it. I don't know what you mean by 'level script' unless you are referring to the scripts that play when you enter a map. All of those I found with text in it? Translated! Just like everything else!

Yes. I'M ****ING SURE. I removed the setflag command from the no option. Evidently I missed some. It's a thing I went back and did when I was pretty far in the translation.

EDIT: I just checked. Lapras was fine. I forgot where Dratini was when I went back. It's fixed in my version and if I need to release an update, that'll be fixed in it. They just have the same line of text for both script options. The scripts on (apparently almost) all of them were fixed in my release.

I read that and I was hoping that he would release an update. I just got owned by the first trainer who just used string shot and harden. My charmander and elekid fainted because of the poison.

He fix a lot of minor bugs/glitches so maybe now he can release an update.

Just saying. I still can't beat the bug catcher..

Dude,first of all do not say that to anyone,everyone starts somewhere,so who cares if you can't beat the first trainer it took me 5 tries to beat him with a Charmander.
Edit-Learn grammar please,I learned how to write well,and so can you.
Ontopic-This hack is by far the best graphics wise hack completed,and must I say congratulation to Snakebyte who translated this in such a low amount of time.

ummm... I was talking to the safari zone girl at the counter and they don't let me in, they just say, "Okay, I'll be waiting whenever you're ready," or something like that after I choose which zone I want.


NEVERMIND! ^_^;; i got it to work.

How do you evolve the likes of Kadabra, Machoke and Graveler without trading with the NPC? I posted this question a few pages ago but i don't think the only way is to trade with the NPC for them to evolve.

.....Go to the cave where you travel to get to Snowce city and in the beginning part of the cave you'll see her(Leader)
Hi guys. I did the above to meet the 7th leader, but she isn't at the gym when I go check, neither are there any trainers.
I'm not sure but did it cause a bug because I went there before meeting the leader back in the mountains?

I've just gotten up to the seventh Gym and so far my Milotic is destroying everything. It doesn't take any prisoners. It never rests. IT CREATES DEATH AND CHAOS. Anyway, just like just everyone else here: congratulations on finishing the translation, Snakebyte! You were definitely entitled to complain over MSN about the number of event Pokemon you get for free - There are thousands of them :x

Anyway, here are three oddities that I found. In these two first screens, both of these trainers in the mine didn't have the Pokemon they're talking about in their party. It seems a bit strange that they're mentioning them rather than the Pokemon they actually battled with.

In this third screen I got a *GASP* shiny Wurmple (as evidenced by the gold Pokedex number and slightly coloured alternate colours of the background). Unfortunately, it shares the same pallet as a regular Wurmple, which led me to become bewildered when I saw the stars shimmer around the sprite at the start of the battle. I am a bit disappointed that Wesley couldn't/ didn't change the shiny colours of the sprites (or at least Wurmple's at the very least) but thankfully it won't ruin the game :P I only posted here because I wanted to show this off :D

While this stuff isn't likely to be changed since the final release has been let loose, I thought that if there was ever going to be a mini-update, I should bring these to your attention. Anyway, so far this hack has been very entertaining and I hope to continue playing it soon :)

I've just beaten the 5th Gym. But I'm just wondering where I can find a Dawn Stone?
I have a Snorunt that is over level 50 now... and I really want to evolve it to Froslass.
