Hey Metapod it's been awhile... Just downloaded the new beta. I'll make a play through then start up the guide once more :) . Oh and I don't think you should have Brock and Misty. It would be creepy, would take a lot of scripting, and would take away from the freedom of the game. So doing good so far, Metapod. Keep it up :)

Welcome back, Denali! Thank you, I appreciate the guide being updated, but no pressure on it. :)


Metapod how abaut this bug?
In the start then you create's your name then you need to create rival's name. And then you click "New Name" and whrite any name/or not you click ok and then rival's head is red.

I'm aware of this bug. I have no idea how to fix it.

EDIT: then i wanted to to take my potion from my PC ok i took it, but then i off the computer the "Talk box" still show's :\

I know this one as well. Again, I have no idea how to fix it. The script mirrors the one in the original game exactly.

EDIT2: then i must battle misty i dont have any pokemon in my PC so i try's to leave pc but misty wont let me do that. i cant fight her..

I'm not sure I understand this? You just have to not have Pikachu in your party to battle her ...


So I just downloaded 2.5 onto my original game file which had completed 2.1.. For some reason, if I make any actions, such as using the start menu, entering a building, etc, the player sprite (Ash) turns into a random woman character.

The character has no leg motion, and at times will turn the opposite direction while walking the other. (I'll be walking right, while she'll be looking left). But the walking part quickly corrects itself.

Still, turning into a different sprite, I'm assuming it's supposed to be like that.

Also, it is impossible to run while being in the women sprite. So far I have found nothing in gameplay which reverses the effect.

Just some glitches/bugs I believe I found within a few minutes of gameplay.

EDIT: In Neon Town, some characters are given Level 100 Pokemon. Well, one of them for sure. She had a level 100 Pidgey. Which dominated my pokemon -_-.
Regardless, the Ash sprite does not show up to throw the pokeball, and if you lose the battle, the game freezes at a black screen, forcing a restart of the program. Upon further playing, only as the Ash sprite are you unable to enter the Neon Town Casino. All trainers in the area have various Level 100 pokemon.

EDIT 2: While walking past the People Hospital, the player has an explanation mark appear over it's head and is moved down south and then moved right. The player is unable to move or access anything, forcing a restart.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen if you do this over an already existing file, but these are things I've noticed.

EDIT 3: After restarting the game, the woman sprite mentioned earlier is Delia's (Ash's mom's) sprite.

That seems very odd. I'm certain it has something to do with the OW switcher, where I have the player change OW sprites, as I know that if you change to a sprite that doesn't have the proper frames, it will turn you into another character. And I haven't seen the level 100 Pokemon thing before either, so I'm not sure how those trainers would get changed to have level 100 Pokemon ...


Tha pajama glitch is fixed

I noticed that after you use the computer the message that asks you what to do still shows.

I liked it when the Beedrill attacks a metapod can protect you, but in that case there should be an event for catching a Caterpie and for his evolution to Metapod.

I don't have sprites appearing for those events, but I do have "events". When you first enter the forest, a level 5 Caterpie will appear no matter what. And the battle with Team Rocket is where Caterpie is supposed to evolve. I guess I don't see the need for sprites to be shown for those events.

how do you battle koga??? i cant get past that wall...

The solution was given a few posts above yours ...


hah man i had the same problem. it took me about an hour to figure it out. i didnt face anyone except aj where the nugget bridge should be, u have to get the fishing rod in the cabin in frnt of the little fishing spot then what i did was jus used the old rod in the pond, sorta towards the middle (dont know if that matters). but u should cath the squirtle squad leader. hope it helps..

It doesn't matter where you fish on the lake.

Hi Metapod. I'm new to the forums. I had the same problem as this guy. I only had one pokemon (Pikachu) so when I went to talk to Misty I couldn't get off PC. I did reload my save however and have since caught another pokemon.

Also, a suggestion that there could be special events for catching Ash's pokemon. When I was playing I thought that this would happen. Which is why I only had a Pikachu.

One of the better hacks I have seen. Keep it up!

Alright I got finished with the Beta. I have found no glitches and everything works fine. I do enjoy playing the game and I can't wait to explore the rest of Route 20. Does it begin to turn to a sea route? I'm guessing after Cinnibar the route number next will be Route 21. I do know the next beta will contain all 8 gym badges and end at Indigo Plateau where the Pokemon League Tournament will begin.

Err how do I get back to Sunny Town if I don't have a bike? I already did the event where Nurse Joy gave me a bike and I delivered the medicine.

In evry pokemon game there are pokemon that can evolve to their next form only by trading (Kadabra to Alakazam, Greveler to Golem, Scither to Scizor, Haunter to Gengar and so on). Can you make a version that requires these evolutions only by level ups, items or level ups with a condition(holding item, day or night, location and so on)?

I understand the desire for Brock and Misty. But to have them always running ahead would be, imo, weird and would slow down the game. Or to have them just randomly appearing in town wouldn't work either. I just don't think there's a good way to implement it.

well, if you ever played co500's hack, Johto Adventures, its not as weird as it seems, just at important events, but if you feel different, i understand

They do appear at important events - Pokemon, I Choose You/Pokemon Emergency, Pokemon Fashion Flash, Hypno's Naptime, Who Gets to Keep Togepi, Princess vs. Princess. They just aren't following you.

Yes, that part is in the hack, toward the end of the beta.

I got passed the third gym and I was a bit disapointed. I lost on purpose because I expected the thunder stone at the pokemon center event, but it never happened even when I beat the gym leader when I got back to the saving before I lost. I think you should add this event to the next Beta.

How come when you enter Bills Lighthouse the Enterance disapears so there is no way out, is somthing meant to happen there other than getting bill out the costume and talking to Oak?

Is there a computer on the St.Ann, because I don't have mu Butterfree in my team?

Where do you get the HM's in this game. I'm going to the 4th gym but I need to get a Flash HM to go to the Pokemon Tower.

Nurse Joy should offer you the thunder stone if you lose to Surge. If not, then it's a glitch I need to fix.

The entrance disappears? I'm not sure what you mean? But yeah, that's pretty much all you do.

Is there a computer on the St.Ann, because I don't have mu Butterfree in my team?

No, there's no computer, the reason being that I need the first tileset to be the outdoor tileset. I had a computer, but when you activated it it didn't look right because it wasn't the indoor tileset. So that's that.

There are no HMs. You don't need Flash for the Pokemon Tower. You get items, like the Hatchet and the Pickaxe.

Well, that's not necessarily true, actually.
Just set one map to have the indoors tileset, and add the PC on that map only. It shouldn't affect any others if you only have the PC on one map.

Ummm.... I just downloaded this, and when it gets to the point where I change into my pajamas, the screen goes black, the music keeps playing, and... nothing. I held fast-forward for about five minutes in case it was one of those events that take forever to load, but nothing happened. Help?

Is there an item to light dark places? It could have helped me with the Squirtle Squad and the Pokemon Tower, but at least I somehow managed with the Squad.
