about the sounds...
although this IS a gold remake why not inserting some new (although the one is kinda old) sounds?the best one suited for this i ever heard was the sound for the 4 grandmasters in the old pokemon tgc game for game boy
you should listen it (if i didnt played it yet)

pokemon tgc grandmaster rod ----> youtube it (since i cant put urls yet uahhhhhh)

I dont want to go too away from what the game is supposed to have (the remixed tracks), extra BGMs would depend on if we have spare slots to use. Gold's original tracks are the priority here.

hey zel this is just an idea.....but i would really like for you to add a really strong kind of dark trainer...who would have legendary pokemons in lv100......i think this would be a good idea because it would give everybody an alternative way to train high level pokemon, instead of just beating the elite four over and over......

...I cannot say too much about posted ideas because I also have my own. But, remember that there's a second round of the E4, more powerful and smart (perhaps), so, it'll be better to train.

I think zel has adjusted the volume for the Cherrygrove Theme (by birthofdna or Magnius, only zel knows who's who) so expect it to be fine in B6.
Click to expand...

Not yet -_-
Once the musical phase starts I'll start to get involved with that (and there we will insert all the tracks clonex has)

A bit of a progress report on my walkthrough. At the moment I'm kinda busy with school so I can't update the walkthrough much. I'll have holidays around June so I'll update it then.
The levels are accurate as far as B5 goes, I stopped at Saffron partly because noone was going to read my site, and I can't really update it right now.
The levels and movesets are accurate, I doublechecked with PET. If I have something wrong feel free to drop me a PM and I'll try to fix the issue.

Zel, I feel that even SGX is too easy <--- kill me
From around Goldenrod onwards, everything just seemed like a cakewalk for me. Even some of the Kanto trainers with level ~75 pokemon could be beaten by my team around level 60. I would support an increase in levels, preferably reaching 100 around the end of the game.
Click to expand...

Ah, there you were! :P

Anyway, it's not like I want it to be extremely hard (dont forget Kanto is not the last region with trainers, there's the islands ahead, that's why I cannot increase levels too much yet)

Zel, I'll wait till you need me. Im kinda a graphics-whore, so I need the full visual experience when I'm playing. However, this is, after all, a beta, so I shouldn't complain. Since I'm bored, i'll make a Falkner and Morty overworld sprite.

Edit: I can use ANY colors as long as it's 16 colors total?
Click to expand...

It'd be better if you respect the palettes the original overworlds have. Because I will not be able to do any more palette changing for overworlds.

Bug report: I hatched the togepi egg after beating all 8 gyms and then I showed it too elm and he doesn't do aything about it :O
Click to expand...

I dont remember what happened in the original, but I dont think it's really a bug (most of the time I forgot about the whole thing or I showed him the Togepy before progressing further)

You need to fix the rom's header in order for the BIOS to boot it, google "GBA Header fix" For more info.

Also, Hackers (Like Zel) Should download a GBA BIOS To test if it boots or not before making a IPS.... Sometimes after alot of hacking, the header will become corrupt, leaving the Rom Un-Bootable on a device without a header fix. So people (Like Zel) Should check if the Header need a fix or not before relasing the IPS patch.

Good Luck!

I guess that if the header were corrupt, I wouldnt even be able to open it on the tools, or on my VBA. And, since I am able to do it, then it's probably not my problem. It's just that each emu has its own business...

----

I have inserted all the legendaries, so tomorrow I may take a screenshot or two to show them (but, it's not like they are any different than Mystery Dungeon). But I forgot that I should hex edit a bit more to leave some slots for the Johto Gym leaders' overworlds '^^

So, that's it for now.

I played Shiny Gold yesterday, and I stopped after I defeated the Rockets in Mahogany Town, yet, here's my little report...
Spoiler:


I think that's all. Keep up the great work, zel. :classic:

Beta 5 is amazing dude, thanks!

Also, there's a bug. I went into the sprout tower and it played the Carlos music (aka cyrus music) for all the sages. Then, I accidentally closed VBA and had to restart from before then.

When I went back in the tower, the music was just the regular trainer music.

Also, I'm dissapointed with no GS trainer battle music. D:

Zel, your hack is amazing, keep up the amazing work and DON'T QUIT.

EDIT: Can you mind telling me what those little humps are I see now and then?

EDIT2: I'm playing the X version (which is awesome, seriously, give it a shot)

Is there any way to make it so that I can take Shiny Gold X with me on the go? Preferably with the DS/GBA...

Can't let you do that StarFox.

Zel has asked that no one reveals the secret of Jirachi. If you must, go PM someone, I'm not sure who though...

Hey Zel, remember me? Haha I haven't been on in a while :)

Well yesterday I decided to play Shiny Gold (I admit I never played it until then, mainly because I was waiting for lots of progress :))

Found a new bug (I doubt this one is fixable)

After the bug-catching contest, all of my Pokemon have the 'traded' status and my name (:S) has changed from JAKE to JAK (woah)

Zel, I really have only one word for you... THE BEST. I`m playing ShinyGold since it`s first beta release. And I guarante, that you are making a lot better game, then original Nintendo`s. The storyline is from GS, but the quality of game itself. I really enjoy playing ShinyGold, the best Pokemon hack and GS remake ever.

Thank you, Zel.
