Emerald hack: Pokemon Ascent

[Meka]

I am aware that some of the newer gen 8 move animations and effects aren't quite implemented yet. I'll take a look at that one specifically since I know I gave it out a bunch.

Rom hacking hideout are the ones to thank for most of the new sprites and move animation work. Their contribution to emerald decomp is truly unfathomable.

Thanks for replying. Btw my games keep crashing everytime the opponent use the move flash cannon, anchor shot and one more move that I forgot (the move is in seaking's movepool). I don't know how to fix it

What emulator are you using? I tested both of these on mgba and myboy and both were fine for all those moves. If you aren't using mgba, I would switch to that since it's what I do all my testing on. It's generally regarded as the best gba emulator.

I'm dumb. I already fixed the issue like a week ago. I didn't realize those moves were using the same script as some other moves I already fixed. If you update to the newest version it will work
