[poopydude]

Hey i ran into a little bit of a problem. recently i got a new computer and when i downloaded the game, clicked on the icon and went to play nothing happened. I tried downloading both .17 and the demo and both times nothing happened. I tried to update it multiple times but it never works. any solutions ?

You should just wait around for version 0.18, 0.17 fixed some problems, but a lot more came about that will be fixed in 0.18. I'm not sure when Desbrina is planning on releasing it, but they have but a lot of work into this next update, and I personally cannot wait to play it myself.

So really, just wait around till 0.18 is out and then trying to update the game then. I'm stuck with a lot of pokemon that didn't learn any moves as they leveled up from version 0.17.

Hey Desbrina, what's new with you? Haven't heard anything in while; I hope the project is still going strong, and more so, I hope everything is going well with your personal life. I know things come up, but you've got all our support I'm sure.

[Kusshea]

Just shouting out my support too :D

I'm still working on it. I fixed a few errors i found yesterday.

I've recently gotten into iOS programming so been occupied with that recently.

Release v0.18 and I'll let you go back to your cruddy iOS.
Everyone knows Android is where it is at.

Perhaps you could make a version of the game for me to play on my android....

[desbrina]

lol. i can't get one with android, much prefer iOS

Well if you find a way to convert all of the game's files to run on a gameboy advance emulator, I should easily be able to play it on my Android, but I know that is easier said than done.

Hello there!

This Yellow hack seems to be awesome, but I have a question. Why does it need to use a separate program to run it? I thought it would be one of those roms that can be played on a VBA. Also, is there a way to speed up the game like VBA? I mean I'll probably still play the game, but I would love the game even more if I can speed up the game when I wanted to.

Thank you!

[desbrina]

This isn't a hack, its a game made in rpg maker xp

[-xJasonx-]

Can you turn this into a GBA file? Would be so cool if you could! I'm a noob at this stuff.

[desbrina]

no. Its not a hack, it can't just be converted. It'd require remaking completely which i'm not doing

[-xJasonx-]

Can I play this from start to finish yet? Have you made Pikachu a bit stronger in this game than the others? Or can you obtain a lightball? He's so weak normally :(

Also it'd be cool if Pikachu could learn volt tackle at lvl 30 or something!

[desbrina]

Pikachu gets the Light Ball when you first catch it, so its available from the start.

Currently the inaccessable places are:
Route 21
Cinnabar Island
Route 20
Seafoam Islands
Route 19
Viridian Gym
Victory Road
Indigo Plateau
Unknown Dungeon

Pikachu can only learn Volt Tackle officially via breeding

Played through this earlier, it's good, but i have a few problems with it;
1. The text. Alot of it isn't presented very well, I'm talking about how the words have been presented, and Grammar too.
2. Oak's lab, I know this isn't really an important point, but Oak's lab has been squished, terribly. All the people that were there in Yellow, are not in this game.
3. Rival has no theme. Still,not that important, but without it, seeing your rival just isn't the same anymore.
4. Some music don't fit where they are; like for example, the Mum's theme plays all through Red's house.

Other than that, I really enjoyed playing it.
(though I only went up to the 2nd Gym)

[desbrina]

Thanks for the input.

1. The majority (probably 95% ish) is text from the game. Can you let me know which text was an issue

2. When you look at PLY and HGSS labs side by side, they're not that much different size and shape wise

3. The rival theme is now in (though not the yellow version). THe other encounter themes will be soon

4. I am missing a lot of the music for hgss, though i have a download running now that hopefully has the missing stuff in.

[desbrina]

Seems like the music i'm missing wasn't in the pack i had. oh well

All the sprites have been reposistioned, testing up till rocket hideout is completed

Progress has been slow, i'm waiting on a new power supply for my external hard drive to arrive so i can start work again

1. I forgot where the text was, i'll go back and look over it.

2. But from that picture, it just bugs me even more. The entrance area is smaller than it should be, there should be (from the original Yellow) Enough room down there to fit two Aides and a woman down there...

3. I've remixed a version of the Yellow Rival theme, to sound like a ds game.
You can have it if you want??

I've got a question about the Pokedex on the Lightning Yellow site.

Why are Kakuna and Beedrill silhouetted, and Weedle isn't?

I'd argue that since this is based off yellow, it would make more sense to base oak's lab from pokemon yellow (or possibly FR/LG) rather than HG/SS?

Gen2 takes place 2 years after generation1 games doesn't it? oak may have just decided to renovate.

not really a big deal either way. the aides are pretty useless.

Those that are silhouetted are those you can't currently get full pokedex entries for. Weedle you currently can, but Kakuna and Beedrill you can't, since the weedle you have is on loan for a short while
