Hi dearman4,
I made an account because I wanted to thank you for such an amazing hack!! I personally love vanilla Emerald, so I turned off Day/Night cycle and didn't make use of the other optional patches, but it was so fun playing through the entire game again while being able to run in buildings lol.
Some Suggestions:
Is it possible to allow running on Fortree City and Pacifidlog Town bridges? It would make exploring and revisiting each place a bit more fun.
In the Altering Cave, alongside the EV-IV Display NPC (which is amazing, btw!), can there be an EV resetter NPC? This would allow for two things: 1. An easy way to fix accidental EVs earned while training, and 2. Allows players to reset their non-Level 100 starters and other mons they've journeyed with since the beginning and make them stronger with a clean EV slate for focused training.
Is it possible to switch to Ruby/Sapphire versions of May and Brendan? I prefer Ruby/Sapphire May's design slightly more so than Emerald's, and would love to play as red May.
Battle Frontier-Related Suggestions:
As an avid fan of Battle Frontier as well as Gen 3 OU competitive battling, I was wondering if there was some way to implement a Hidden Power IV changer for mons, similar to your IV Perfecter concept. In competitive Gen 3, Hidden Powers such as Ice, Grass, Fire, Flying, and Bug are valued for the coverage and power they provide certain mons (ex. Zapdos with HP Grass/Ice, or Salamence with HP Flying for STAB). It's probably asking for too much, but would make for an amazing addition.
Lastly, is it possible to make a version of this hack that's solely focused on Battle Frontier? What I mean by that is a hack that includes the above suggestion, but also a way to catch any mon in the game, perfect their IVs for free, and even teach them move tutor and egg moves. Part of why I keep coming back to Emerald is due to the endless possibilities of Battle Frontier (specifically, Battle Tower), and an easy way to try out all the combination of mons/moves/teams would be a dream come true.
Anyways, as it is, Emerald Final is the definitive, near-perfect Emerald hack for me, and I really appreciate all the time and effort you've put into this project! Thank you so much!!
