One question though... Did Usher kill everyone on the sub? I've read the diary entries and the sub status and im kinda thinking that he killed everyone.

Actually, the 'Tis a liquid of some sort text was originally put there because something I did caused the original text, The water is a deep blue, to lose the 'T' and become he water is a deep blue. I then realised how apt it was after creating the orangeade sequence.

As for Usher and the sub: their past is due to be revealed by more hidden things in the S.S. Cangrejo in future visits. But since you ask, I'll just say that the entirety of the S.S. Cangrejo (which, if you haven't already picked it up, means 'crab' in Spanish) is a massively extended reference to:

Spoiler:

Portal.

Perhaps that will give you some idea of what happened to the submarine.

Well done for finding the password for the computers, by the way. I think most people just talk to the first computer and then ignore the rest.

This hack is really awesome
Now I know to never use zigagoon as a useless slave in this game thanks to his epic yet confusing evolution,dragoon I can't wait for the next version so I can finish the lilycove sewer part

And I know the secret behind the orpheus ball -kinda obvious if you read a whole lot of greek myths-
The orpheus ball is the premere ball with a different name cause of the way it looks
to me the orpheus ball looks like a holy ball of some sort, and there was this man named orpheus that sang as beautifuly as the God Apollo and orpheus sang so beautifuly it was like a holy song and everyone would be uplifted until his gruesom,sad death
I could be wrong though

Yes, Dragoone tends to have that sort of effect on people. You do realise that you can actually leave the sewers in the version currently available? It goes up until the Pacifidlog Gym.

The Orpheus ball works on two levels: one, it is an irreverent reference to the failed resurrection of Orpheus' wife by the legendary musician; two, it is a reference to something that no one except myself will actually understand. There is another myth about Orpheus, however, which is the one you're referring to. And I haven't called it the Orpheus Ball because of its looks, I've done so purely because it was a spare Pokéball item and I wanted to add in that reference.

[cheatfreak23]

I never knew that that Dragoone thing was evolved from Zigzagoon. I had seen him from the screenshot on the first page and never knew what or how to get it...as Caboose from Red vs Blue would say, "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!"

[Mr. X]

Yet again im stuck. Im on mount pyre now and i can't get that severed head to move. I tried giving the dispel toke to a pokemon and that didn't work. I've got badges 1,2,3, and 5. Just saved Meteors daughter.

Nice job with the telefang refrences. The only thing that could top that would be some digimon refrences.

Before i forget. What about secret bases? ARe those still in or did you remove them?

Oh I meant going to the ship part
but the myth was when his wife dies and he goes to hades asks to have her back he said yes but never look at her until you return to the real world sand he looked back and he became glum and got killed

I don't think there is a picture of Dragoone on the first page. At least, I can't see one...

But I hope this opens your eyes, everyone. There are a lot of new evolutions knocking around. So find them already!

Are you inside Mt. Pyre? If you are:

Spoiler:

Go out, Surf clockwise around the mountain, and look for the other entrance.

And about the Digimon: who's to say they won't be there? I've got Spectrobes and Denjuu references already; it seems only natural to me to include the Digimon and hit a perfect 'mon' union.

Secret Bases, for the record, still exist. I'm not sure where I've put the TM Secret Power, though. I'll find it for you.

Exactly. That was the myth I was referring to. I thought you were referencing another myth in which Orpheus stars.

Oh, and since Dragoone has been discovered, I might as well post his base stats. I think that as people inform me they've discovered a new Fakemon, I'll post the stats.

Spoiler:

Dragoone:

• HP - 88
• ATK - 97
• DEF - 50
• SP ATK - 78
• SP DEF - 175
• SPD - 78
  Abilities: Pickup/Bulletproof

[Roxasabridged]

Kinda glad I ended up using a Zigzagoon for once. Just got Dragoone a few hours ago.

Now I just need to replace Surf and Cut and it'll be far more useful.

[DonMoosavi]

Congratulations on HOW! Great to see this hack being recognized...

Two pokemon's stats I would like to know are gigawolf's (is it same as zoroark?)
And Hombone.

Thanks!

In your Screenshots section, 3rd column of pictures, its the next to last pic, the one where it says 'What should GIRATINA do?' and he's facing a Lvl 48 Dragon (green Charizard).

[Raaxon]

Just out of curiosity's sake, Cutlerine, you mentioned something about a Chikowa (or something) that you need to have before beating someone? D: Is that in the current hack? 'Cause I thought it might have been, but I'm not sure now... 'Cause my egg hatched into Mysteryegg and it still only has 1 HP + Wonder Guard.

Also, I decided to start again and grab a bunch of hacked pokemon and get some hacked TMs. So, my team as it stands now is:

Mysteryegg: Shadow Ball, Earthquake, Psychic, Tackle
Zigzagoon: Tackle, Headbutt, Surf, Shadow Ball,
Corphish: Bubble, Water Pulse, Blizzard, Vicegrip
Paras: Cut, Giga Drain, Stun Spore, Poison Powder
Kenchira: Toxic, Rolling Kick, Mach Punch, Earthquake
Torchic: Scratch, Ember, Fire Blast, Focus Energy

I was slightly annoyed when I tried to generate a Cacnea and found Kenchira. And Houndour and Murkrow were, of course, replaced by their zombie forms. I'm thinking I might toss out Paras and generate a new grass type... And can I ask what pokemon does Shinx replace?

No, no, that's a Dragon, not a Dragoone. I'd assume they're two different things. I'm currently training up a Zigzagoon - once it becomes a Dragoone, I'll screenshot and post.

Though, someone else who already has one could post?

[DonMoosavi]

No, no, that's a Dragon, not a Dragoone

Look at the back sprite. I believe that is the dragoone

I stand corrected...
Sorry

[Dark Sceptile]

Dragoone~

A freaking Special Tank. This makes me love Zigzagoon even more. ~<3

[cheatfreak23]

@DarkSceptile: That's Dragoone? Then what the hell was I looking at? I know I was looking at the black skinned dragon looking thing that was named 'Giratina', but I havent the foggiest as to what it really is or how to get it.

[Ragnia]

Alright i'm stuck... again. I just saved the atennae tree from Gleis's associate and I have no idea what to do next. I've beaten the fortree gym but haven't saved meteor's daughter yet. What should I do??


Oh and while i'm at i here are some new evolutions i've found:
Qwilfish-Qwilshark
Zangoose-Zangol
Seviper-Sevilious or something like that
As everyone knows already Linoone-Dragoone
And I wonder if absol and masquerain and altaria have new evolutions. Hmmm?

Edit: Nevermind figured it out but I'm at Fort Drago and have no idea where to go now...

If you're at Fort Draco, go to the main hall and speak to Meteor to receive HM02 Fly, then defeat Meteor in the Training Hall in order to receive the Knight's Emblem, which lets you use it. Return to Lilycove as Birch instructs.

For the stats, see the bottom of the post.

My first beta tester has a sense of humour, and called a very weak Pokémon 'Giratina'. It turned out to evolve into the immensely powerful [insert Fakemon name that totally gives away what it evolves from] - who I'm powering down in the next update.

Mysteryegg changes in the next update. Be sure to evolve it before then.

Shinx replaces Electrike.

And believe me, Kenchukuo, when your Kenchira evolves, far outclasses Cacturne. Oddly enough, he learns a way better moveset via level-up than your hacked one has.

Thanks!

Gigawolf was created long before anything but a few pictures of Zoroark existed online, so I made it up entirely based on Mightyena's stats. It's a joke, really, though even I'm not sure what it's about.

Dont know why but when i saw the name of sevipers evo i was for some strange reason reminded of professor snape. I don't know why.

Anyway i think i might have found a nice bug for you to squish. In the studio level of the film school i walked down to the bottom of the hall and tried to enter the door and the green haired girl/lady standing by it turned around and started walking towards me and then my game froze.

I'll try to get a ss of it up later.

Oh and nigera is a beast. He slaughtered half my team before i took him out. Oh, and loved the l4d refrence.

Edit - Whats the red ditch refrence from? I know its a refrence to something.

Well, I now remember one way of finding out: Using the walk thru walls, Im gonna bypass most of the game and go to a trainer pair I know that has the Pokemon in question! Right now, since I started over, Im training my Koffing up for this venture...

Where is the red ditch reference? Tell me, and I might let you know what it refers to.

And about that film school thing... yeah, I'm still working on it. Not entirely sure what I did wrong there.

[Starmine]

Looks ok so far, the demo was fun to play. Just one suggestion.. why do you credit yourself for your own scripts, maps and overworlds..? Never saw someone doing that before, sounds weird in someway to credit yourself for your own hack.

[cheatfreak23]

In regards to my quest to solve what Pokemon was called GIRATINA in that front page screen shot, the last thing I need is to figure out how to get it from its pre form to its then form....

[Mr. X]

The red ditch refrence was from on of the witches on the eastern route near fortree.

I'll pull the full line... Got it. This is a dead witch. Its somewhat like a red ditch, only spelled diffrently and completely diffrent.

Anyway i've replicated the bug i mentioned earlier. It looks like its completely random though. Sometimes it freezes the first time, sometime it takes 3/4 times to freeze.

@cheatfreak - All you need is a pokemon evolution editor to change the evolution method and/or evolution levels. I'd recommend pokemon amplifer 3.1

Actually, I meant like "Is it a stone evolution? Is it a Happiness evolution? Is it the Tyrouge style evolution?" I'd rather not hack someone's hack just to see how to make something evolve....

[Ragnia]

Alright I just beat the Senex in lilycve and was told to go to the elite four. But where the heck are the 4th and 8th badges?!?

Also in Fort Draco the dragon in the pokemon center turns into a biker when he heals your pokemon.

I am weird. It seemed apt at the time.

I know he turns into a biker. I'll fix that... sometime. And: For the last time, you don't need all eight Badges to challenge the Elite Four.

Do you mean that the bug only happens some of the time?

And as for the red ditch, I did just make that up - although I stole the joke style from the Kingdom of Loathing.
