...I don't know... To me it works 100%. Try patching again into a clean rom, perhaps something failed before.

I'm currently checking FR guides to find out the cool events to investigate in the game. Perhaps I'll find something. As I said before, if not, it'll be as it was in the original.

Anyway, I want to make a question, Zel, you're an awesome hacker, so, I assume you can answer that: Why aren't the battles harder?
I mean, the Elite4 is extremelly easy, most of the times at least. I've beaten it in the X version with only 4 different pokemons, and they didn't even covered all the disadvantages and all that. So, why don't we see trainers using strategies? Is pretty stupid the fact that Koga is a member of the Elite 4, a.k.a. the best trainers of the whole continent using crappy teams that can be sweeped by only one Alakazam. It's annoying actually...
Is it that hard to put some trainers with Baton Passers, SkarmBlissers and all that? Or at least trainers that can switch the pokemons correctly? Is stupid to fight an grass pokemon with an water one, but that happens all the time. People fighting with Magikarps... And well...

Well, to begin with, the E4 has two rounds, so in the next the things are gonna be harder.
Then, there's the thing that I cannot throw their styles by the roof, and give let's say a super Blissey to Koga. If they want to have crappy Pokemon, then that's their problem. I just try to do what I can and give them the movesets I think can work (usually I give'em two attacks, one annoyer and if it's possible a healing move or a status inflicting move, I think that's balancing the movesets). Of course, once you dedicate to train only one or a bunch of Pokemon, or when you overtrain them, the rest will become pretty easy (that's mid opinion mid fact), and it wont matter what movesets I give them, anyway.

But, I really dont want to go too much deeper than that. Because in fact, the only way you can get competetive battles is on the DS and online. Even if I were to make super competetive Pokemon, then I'm sure the AI would mess everything... XD

@NomadSPG: I've taken note of the bugs mentioned (though it's more like tile problems, and the Ice Path untouched cave), and about the Trick House puzzle, I know there's a chance you may get stuck at that puzzle, I'm not sure if you may be refering to that (as it was said, try again, I just hope you are not getting stuck)

---

Well, not too much to say, but, as February starts, I have to start studying (if you want more info I've updated the Zel's Status section in the first post), which gives me less time for the hack (and I really want to approve early so I get more free time later), so well, I'll have less updates for the next two weeks (oh, but still, there'll be updates ;P)

Damn you made me laugf there!:laugh: Or JeJe a you say?
Can i ask some thing? How much of the intro are you gonna change?

[Keyrin]

Yes, good question. The title screen is very good! No problem, I can say that. But, it gets a little boring with no animation.
I think you all know what I mean. To make Beta 6 better, you can make there be animations. Whether it be the Ho-Oh flapping it's wings, or just letting the clouds move to the "beat" of the wind.

Good luck, Zel.

[jeffhardyrocks632]

thanks so much zel your brilliant could i prehaps put this on you tube?

[Retribution]

Good to see this hack is stil doing well :bandit:.
Wierd bandit, lol.
Anyway, I also agree that there should be an animation on the title like fire red and leaf green but its your choice zel.

Anyway keep up the good work.
And well done and good luck ;)

I have a suggestion, zel..
what really bugged my in G/S/C was that you have to wait until you get all the way to cerulean to get a leaf/water/fire/thunder stone.
It would lower irritation levels quite a bit if there were some alternate access to the stones sometime before the E4.

well, its a remake, there is no need to change things like that.

I saved the data before I started this puzzle quest.
Don't remember about correct the volume of added music, Zel.

Personally: i dont really liek the titlescreen, the ho-oh sprite is a bit badly sprited :P thats just my opinion, it looks good though!!
but this game isn't done yet, so maybe it will be remade haha :P

Well its not an exact remake there are many differences in Shiny Gold versus Gold/silver etc. I think that shiny gold is way better personally, especially B5x.

I dunno about that, you wouldn't get EXP points with the trainer tower script right?

[Maruno]

Hi. My first post. And firstly, I love this remake.

Now, I haven't read the whole thread, but I'll point out a quirk in the game. Just north of Cianwood City (the one you surf to) there are some smashable rocks. There are some hidden items in those rocks, namely a Revive and a Max Ether (both useful items, of course). Now, I smash those rocks, and then pick up the hidden item. The quirk comes when you walk over the square it occupied, and then try to walk over it again, or even just approach it from a different direction. You won't be able to walk through it (a feature of at least most hidden items, I think - Is that intentional?), and you'll be able to pick up another one. This carries on indefinitely, meaning you can get as many Revives and Max Ethers as you want. I don't know if it happens for every hidden item, or just those two (I've tried on the hidden Rare Candy on the west of Route 34 that you surf to, and that has no problems). Flying elsewhere, doing other things and coming back doesn't change anything.

Also, you can't fly to Cherrygrove City, but I'm sure that's been mentioned already.

Otherwise, great game! I really like the multiple rivals that show up from time to time.

Zel, I want to point out that if you're going to make a second wave for the Elite Four, don't give any of the Elite Four's Pokemon "Protect" and "Detect" because abusing it all the time can get irritating. No offense, but none of the Elite Fours from FrLg have a Pokemon with those moves, besides Prima's Cloyster for the first time only.

ZEL YOU REALLY OUT DONE YOURSELF THIS TIME!

what don't people understand...its a remake!
he made it like it was in G/S/C
So its not his fault...

NOw, he's going to make another elite four, part of his ideas.

[JohtoMaster]

What you don't understand is... those moves are annoying!

Bruno uses Detect rarely on GSC, but in the remake, he abuses it. DUH

[+Sneasel™]

zel can't control what the AI is doing at every move!
It does what it wants to use.
If it uses detect, then your move is blocked.
Is it that big of a problem?

Yeah, and lets make pokeballs never miss, because thats annoying too. [/sarcasm]

Zel said in his last post that he gives pokemon at least one support move. They are decent moves, the pokemon have them, so why not let them use the moves?

Streamlining takes most of the fun out of a game.

I think that adding detect and protect would be a good idea. It is a challenge and since these pokemon are high-level, it make it that much harder/more fun to play(in my opinion of course).

[destinedjagold]

those moves are putting the battle more of a challenge. If you are annoyed by those, then I guess don't post about the matter at all. besides, one against a million will be impossible to win.

Actually in Dragon's Den you can get one of the stones even before getting the 8th badge by beating the three trainers there.

Uhhh... try the first post of this thread?

[Pooke-Faan]

I found a missingno in cerulean gym, by fishing with super rod :O

[Zeikku™]

it's been a while since i've been on this thread :D I see your hard at work as usual, hope to see some cool new features in the new beta, i loved the sprites you inserted into this in beta 5, they game a great new feel to the game, keep it up my friend :D

i did too, he probably forgot to make the pokemon inside it.

[Imakuni?]

This is a great hack. I must say that I'm incredibly impressed at the amount of effort you've put into this. Aside from 1 or two small glitches (mostly just text), the game seems to be a great remake. I didnt like FRLG too much, but I must say, if this were an official game, I would buy it. I cant wait for more GSC music as for the simple fact that FRLG's music drove me up a wall. Keep up the good work.
