Alright guys, the butt kissing is cool and all and im sure zel appriciates it, but lets get back to Discussing the hack.
Anyways, zel what kind of pokemon will ashlee have besides her evil pikachu, will she have a themed team? Will she have like all evil pokemon or maybe the shiny versions of pokemon that look evil if you can figure the shiny scripting out. It'd be pretty cool for her to have a shiny charizard, it looks pretty evil

Well, he said she was a thief. In the original games, thieves had Fire type based teams, so maybe she'll have fire, I mean, besides that pikachu. I think it should be fire, there aren't enough fire trainers in games. I love fire training, fire is one of my favorite pokemon types. But, we don't know. So I do want to know the answer to your question as well, chibay.

[Angelic Diablo]

so she's a thief, and normally they use fire types... but what about if she used a Dark/Fire type... Houndoom should be part of her team, but I'm only suggesting, what happens is entirely up to Zel

The beta stops in front of Ice Cave. You'll have to wait until the next beta.

I agree, she should have a houndoom, maybe her team should be like Evil Surfing Pikachu, Shiny Charizard, Houndoom, Shiny Camrupt (he has black and yellow, pikachu colors!!!), Shiny Rapidash (it has black fire!), and then Shiny Arcanine (he's got yellow and black fur, also pikachu colors!!!).


Of course the pikachu would be surfing

Of course, when i was doing this, i kept in mind that Ashlee's team has already been made because you fight her before you enter the cave on victory road if memory serves me. I also kept in mind that zel hasnt worked out the shiny script yet. I just thought It'd be cool for a thief to have this team.

[rune the 1st]

that would be an too easy to beat team IMO
just need a ground/water to beat all of them
IMO it should be something like this pikachu shiny charizard swampert tyranitar Salamence and aipom/sceptile

[beautiful.entity]

looks great so far how far does the beta go:?

Well, not nescisarily, the E4 has themed teams, like in pearl the psychic dude is the hardest, so zel could like give them some moves to take out the pokemon that are effective against them. But the point of the team was to have a thief trainer's team because thieves usually have fire types, except TR, with some evil looking shinies plus the evil pikachu

EDIT: Dang Shuri, little harsh today, are you? J/K

[andrew24p]

Do you need to have a flash card to play this game?

[Chibaymega12]

no, you dont, but when the games finished, you might want to get one.

[Corrosion]

Yeah, i cant wait to try this on a flash card.
Can i ask, will this have trading capabilities? (Sorry if this has already been asked, i havent read through the entire thing)

Yes, up to beta 3.5 you can trade to Firered and Leafgreen for sure. I haven't tried trading to the Hoenn games but I think zel hasn't enabled the flag for that. Test it out with VBA link, see if it works. If it does, that's probably why Bill stopped you in Ecruteak. zel needed to do something with that event anyway. If not, he's probably gonna do something in Kanto. Wow, I've managed to ramble on about nothing!

zel, take as much as a vacation as you want. No rush, just make sure you come back alright? Other hackers are never heard of again after their breaks. Good luck with the relaxation!

[ASHYLEGS]

How will Kanto be set up? From what I heard, Zel used the Sevii Islands for Johto. I will Zel connect it to Viridian?

This is a Gold remake, which means there are not connections between Johto and Kanto except for the train station at Saffron and Goldenrod. The Sevii Islands are gone, obviously because they weren't in Gold Version.

No, zel said he would enable that flag along at the time in getting the pokédex, only if he could figure it out though. Even though when you meet Bill in Ecruteak, if you ever notice that when go over to a PC, its stills said SOMEONE'S PC in bill's spot, but instead it should become BILL'S PC, cause you meet the guy. It's not a big deal of course, just though of mentioning it. Then again, zel could also try to figure out that flag as well as the ruby and sapphire flags.

Marz, i think ASHYLEGS wants to know how will zel build Johto(Sevii Islands) in Kanto, its possible, zel just needs to change and add warps, so you can enter Viridian from the Indigo Plateau like a snap.

How is ice path coming along?

[zak]

Zel... jsut wondering about flight postitions and stuf.... coz you made johto in seve islands flight postitions are messed up ,are you going to add more? if its even possible, ive made a loada scratch maps in my hack and havent worked out how to make more flight postitions

[XxTsukasa]

If you actually bothered to read, you would know that he's done so far up to the Elite Four, maybe higher.

[jj_olli]

I hope, he will come to Red soon. I liked fighting him in Crystal.

[zel 2.0]

Back with more answers... I wish I were in a vacation, but that's far from be true... ToT (Studying, studying...)

And can you improve the Gold's sprite when he doing both surfing and fishing?I don't want it to be like this:

Two Gold on a Lapras???
Ok,bye.And good luck to you and your great hack!

EDIT1:Will you increase level of the E4's Pokemon?In the original game,they are too weak.A champion like Lance maybe should have some lv.65->70 pokemon,huh?

About the name "EliteTrainer", sorry, I can't name him "Champion" because if I name him that, he gets the Champion's music, however, he also gets our Rival's name instead of "Lance". So, I could overwrite any other trainer classification, but, then again, he would get the normal trainer battle music, and I prefer to give him the music from the Elite4 battles. Once again, I'm not used to dealing with music, and music changes for trainers.
And the surfing sprite, well, I don't want to fix that, because to fix it, it should be deleted completely, and started once again. Of course, no way I want to do that.
And, if you want a strong E4, you just need to play SGX. Everyone knows that.

Overworld sprites assignment is temporary. Karen and Will still need to be done, so I assigned them anything.

Yes, I just need to know how to modify their lineups (I need to find their locations in hex), since that can't be done using PET.

EDIT: Zel, edit the first post, one of flipboi's banners got removed from ImageShack due to high bandwidth usage.

marz, didn't I said it when I posted? Because that way I could "change the class" of a trainer to classify him/her as "EliteTrainer" and they'd get the E4's battle music. That's the way I'm doing that kind of things to handle the trainer's battle music, unless there's another way.
And, the E4 rooms tilesets are not defitive for the final version. They'll look as in the video in B4, but most likely, I'll change a few things if I think they need to be changed.
And I'll remove a few banners, time to renew things, anyway

That trainer building in viridian would make a great place for making a place to train against pogeys your level?
Like a battle tower where you can gain experience.

The music in Ecruteak is the music from the SS.Anne in FireRed.
And, I don't know what "pogeys" means, but, I guess it'll be a good place to train, however there'll be better places as you advance more in Kanto.

Hmmm... So far, two options:

Either I handle things with warps, and I'd need to do two versions of every single town/city/route map, using different tilesets, so the warp would warp you to one of the two versions depending on a timed flag, or so. This would be the wackiest idea ever (not to mention the pain to do it, and that it would be crappy having to warp a lot of times...) But that's the closest to "timed palette changing" you were saying, because there's no way to deal with the palettes through scripting.

Or, I would need to handle things with Trigger scripts checking that timed flag, and would setweather to a bit dark weather. That's another crappy idea, and may not work really good, because you'd need to have triggering scripts everywhere when you came out of a house,etc. to start investigating again. (May use the Maps level scripts, but unfortunately, they are pain, if not impossible to edit)

So far these are the options. Sorry, but you always talk about things as if they are too easy, but I wanted to show that it's not all "pink colour"

I'm sure these have already been mention because I've only been following this for a short time, but that's all I have to report

Yes, a few things have already been said about glitches, but I didn't know about the Houndoom, oh well, since I'll have to redo the battles once again for when I finish B4 and start editing for SGX's B4, things will get weird again and again, jojo!

1-She has a themed lineup (guess by her name)
2-chibaymaga has two corrects (and one of them is the obvious Pikachu)

Kanto's connected as always, by Routes 27/26. Also you can get there by using the Ship, or by the train (however the Routes connection won't really show up you being in Kanto, and the rest are just warps that make you automatically switching between Kanto and Johto, or the Islands, as they look now)

Scizz' answers into this matter was that we can do it by repointing the flight positions table to a place with free space, so then, we can copy that table, and add our stuff at the end (if I remember correctly) Ehmmm... Well, I want to do as I can with what I have... lol :D

That's all people, I have gone a bit too far hanging around and posting, so it's time to punish myself with some good hours of studying... NoOoOoOo...

[BlueSonic]

Nice Hack zel! I've been keeping my eye on this one!
BTW, i've been testing the combatibility of trading with Shiny Gold.
Leaf Green & Fire Red work fine, Still not sure about Ruby & Sapphire.
Good Luck
