Yep, this is the final of the Ruby Destiny series.

Also when can you enter Vextra Forest for the first time? I like the music used in the game like the remixes of Vermilion, Route 3, and the Kanto Gym Leader themes from Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

I fixed some of those, but I'll later try and scan the trainers once again...

By the way, how does Terrange's evolution chain work...?

He meant the movie 'Twilight', and about the vampires that 'sparkle'...

Anyway, Terrange only evolves once and it becomes 'something' depending on its stats...

I ah, don't know, but about Flash, please see the F.A.Q. on the first post...
And about that PKMN that says 'grr'... Head to Lustersand Town and defeat the master there and earn yourself a badge.

When heading up to Highpoint town for the first time, Light is there. If you talk to him, he crashes your game, but if you ignore him and try to go up to the town, his script where he asks you to listen to him to prove he's good is activated prematurely. This doesn't affect the game, as if you just run through it, then play on, you will run into it again.
Also, on the route North of Rainbow city, if you try to catch a Buizel, your game crashes. Buizel is overpowered, having the move "Deep Water" that will OHKO a Wartortle 10 levels higher...
Finally, the day/night system is weird, i set the clock as a night time, and it hasn't changed since!
Anyways, great hack! thanks for all the hard work!

Yes, I fixed Light now on the new patch available.
And I'll check on that Buizel... I thought I already fixed that... -___-

I don't know what RomStation is, but if I get free time + internet, I'll check that out.

Yeah, you can catch anything with a Master Ball, of course.
And not all legendaries will give you a lvl 5 one...

Also how what are the evolution requirements for skarmory to evolve into skarmiger?

I'll try breeding a Skarmory with a Ditto and see for myself...
Also, Skarmory evolves through level...

Oh, believe me, when I was beta testing, the move 'Perish Song' didn't come into my mind... x,x
I had to use the VBA's "time power" feature (load and save states)... xD
Hm... I think that sounds more cheating than Perish Song now... =/

Talk to the 'hole' on the wall of the aircraft...

[war rock exe]

hello, can someone please tell me what i do after the 6th gym? I already checked the FAQ and i couldn't find my answer...

[TheGameBringer42]

Hey can anyone help me I think I messed up possibily because the part where the waterfall is on dusk path ,the one that is blocked by trees, the trees don't disappear even after i've beaten the hevah league so is something wrong because I need to get the ruby destiny piece from its event to continue so yeah can anyone help.

[Powerflare]

I just noticed... Pyro Strike sometimes causes paralysis, not burn. Also, I believe there is a Gastrodon that knows Dark Beam (or whatever Dark Lugia's move is...) when you fight the Dark Organization grunts in Boulder City (right before they throw you into the hole). Not a big deal though, it didn't cause me any trouble.

If I patch a clean Ruby ROM with the version 8 patch and use my save from the recent version 7 patch, will everything work properly or would I have to start a new game?

Oh, and who/what is Sprizzle? How do you get it? I saw someone mention it (on one of these 74 pages, I don't remember which) but I don't know what it is... xD

I was a bit confused too. xD

Anything except for Whiscash (if you've seen that particular anime episode).

[Master Terrador]

Seeing Dark Lugia makes me want to play RoL again, too bad it's sprite is horrible in that game. If you made Lugia evolve into Dark Lugia that would be cool but oh well, I guess I'll live with it. Are you still going to be fixing your previous workings? Because I'd like to see a better Dark Lugia in RoL.

[zeldastriker]

Gastrodon learns Dark Beam. It gets really annoying when fighting them.

Exactly what happened to me. Try repatching with a clean Ruby ROM~

[zeldastriker]

Also, when you get to breeze island for the first time after the earthquake, if you talk to the team earth grunt immediately, it goes into a pokemon select screen and the game freezes. That cost me a save file because I didn't have a real save.

[Powerflare]

Darn it! I found Mew and the hungry little guy wants an Oran Berry. That's fine, 'cept I can't find any Oran Berries anywhere!! xD The berries don't seem to regrow... ._. Is there any other way to aquire Oran Berries (i.e. a shop, or a wild Pokemon that holds Oran Berries)?

[war rock exe]

hey got another question (i found out what to do in my first one), what do you do after you beat Jimmy and Devihel at the Elite 4? Can someone please tell me?

[Powerflare]

First, make sure you get the Hevah Symbol. Go back to the Hevah League and talk to the man who guards the entrance to the training area before the Master 17 (the man who checks if you have eight symbols). Then you should probably head over to the Tower of Fate and see Chaomega. Surf around the Oceania Sea between Silkwind Town and the Hevah League and you'll find it.

Does anyone know if that Pokemon in the White Pass cave that gives you a Ruby Destiny fragment can be caught? Or does it have to be defeated?

[kyo23]

I just finished the game!!
And it was so EPIC!!!
I was confused sometimes when I talk to the pink pyramind it tells me wrong...
anyways!
I saw a few bugs but the game was awesome!

Catch it, I caught it with a normal pokeball, also you should go after Devihell before going to Chaomega. Devihell is found in a cave at Twilight Path, next to High Point Town, then go to Krystal Mountain to find Angeallen, then Breeze Island to find Breatherna, and finally Mt. Leon for Rayquaza (Must be done last). Then head for the tower of fate.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

When can you enter Vextra Forest? Also in Gento and Johto can you battle against trainers there? If this ROM Hack does get hack of the year that will be different from the last two years where you got third place obviously. Oh and the Sailor at Hevah Academy and the path south of Rainbow City has a Fisherman overworld. In Garden Path Psychic Jaclyn has a Hex Maniac overworld and Battle Girl Jaycee has a Beauty overworld also.

Spoiler:

It's ashame that the Breatherna event forces you to choose between Breatherna and Deazone. Who did you choose? I picked Breatherna just because of the massive HP amount. xD I duplicated my save though so I could also pick Deazone... I did that, now I just gotta find a way to trade it into my main save.

I also found a way to get a lot of Rare Candies...

Spoiler:

In that building on Sparkle Path with the whole arrow maze game, go in and play the game ($500). Just keep walking forward until you hit the item which is a Rare Candy. Do this until you are out of money. Then sell the Rare Candies which are worth more than $500/each. Then go back and get a lot more than you got the first time. =P

[UltraXTheMagmaDrapion]

Yep, this is the final of the Ruby Destiny series.

Noooooo :'(
So there's no chance you're remaking RoL or RR like you suggested?
What about another hack?

[TheGameBringer42]

@shomoher
Does this mean I have to start all the way over....?

No Dude, wrong twilight. He meant My Little Pony;Friendship is Magic. The main character is named literally named Twilight Sparkle. That fact that that was unintentional makes it all the more magic.

I chose Deazone, it's Death Rip combined with leveling it all the way up to 100 makes it easy to blow through those lv. 100 in the final battle. I chose Breatherna in a second playthrough using a Toxicstall combo, worked rather well as well if I do say so.

I just successfully figured out how to trade, so I have both now. I must say, Death Rip is a great move, having much better accuracy than moves like Sheer Cold and Fissure. :D I laugh as I go into the training area of before the Master 17 and beat the level 80 Pokemon there with Death Rip while my Deazone is like lv 41. Bahahahahaha!

I am more impressed by ?, however, just because there's no real drawback to it (like low accuracy). Not saying that ? is better than Death Rip, just giving my personal opinion.

Oh, and why is it called "?"? < (that loooks weird with the 2 ?'s)

[zeldastriker]

Really? How do you trade?

[stedfast]

Is there a specific version of the rom base I should look for? I'm just a newbie to roms and stuff.

[Powerflare]

There's a VBA that has a link feature on it which allows you to do trades, battles, and such things. I happened to have that one on my computer, yeah... not all VBA's have this link feature, only certain ones.

A clean US (sometimes listed as "U") Ruby ROM is what I used and it works perfectly.

[stedfast]

Ok, thank you. But, isn't there something wrong with the 0907 roms? I think I heard they don't work on the Light Platinum thread.
EDIT: I got one that will work I hope. But is there any chance for this or any hack to start the text speed at fast? That's just my pet peeve with every pokemon game.

Nope~ just patch the latest version of the game with a clean Ruby ROM and put the gba file into the same folder with your save states and the errors should have been fixed without you having to start over
