  • Well, you can get other whirlpool HM's (i forgot where, i think Zel said it before)

    Also, that house idea woudn't work becasue its a remake, and theres a pokemon center there in teh original.

  • Wailmer learn it. These can be caught outside (Fighting Gym) Island. Try and ask questions like these in the SG Help thread... Hey Zel, now that you know how to edit TMs, isn't it possible to make at that he gives you a TM for Whirlpool? Maybe TM 51 or something. That would give the game the same ammount of TMs/HMs as the original, the only difference being swaping a Whirpool HM for a Whirpool TM. It's just an idea, and then you could be able to buy the TM in Celdaon City, or swap something for it somewhere else.

    Zel, I've found quite strange bug: when you travel from Saffron to Goldenrod via Magnet train, with and UP Arrow key pressed, you get out of the train from the other side, you may see the train animation and cannot get out of the building. Travelling from Goldenrod to Saffron seems ok.

    I smell a mew and mewtwo somewhere

    That would be awesome. I'd bet that he'd probably implement Mewtwo. After all there is that rock on top of the Unkown Dungeon/Cerulean Cave. (The rock like the one in the dragons den). Either way it would be awesome to have either one. Can' wait till B6 !

    Zel said the random baby egg hatches into one out of four babies.
    I know three of them: Pichu, Elekid and Magby.
    Which is the other one? Smoochum? Cleffa? Igglybuff?
    I'd bet Smochum, but I have to be sure. Can anyone confirm?

    I think igglybuff can be caught in the wild at the unown ruins

  • After get A Badge from Fuchsia City, what should I do ?

    If you've gotten the badges on the other available cities, then that means you've probably finished the Beta5 (have you done all the tricks at the Trick House yet?), now, to wait...

    Zel, are you going to put the revamped Overworld sprites of the gymleaders in the game? 'Cause it looks really strange that the Overworld of Koga is in the place of Falkner?

    When I get sprites for them, of course!

    WSF!??

    My Egg it broke and it came this O.O

    img175.imageshack.us/img175/1668/pokemonshinygold01za1.png

    First time I ever seen that. Is that the egg from Violet, right? Or maybe a breed? Because I heard a few times of people having problems when breeding, but, since it's not a common thing, I currently assume to a problem in the rom or the patching process.

    Are you using the Elite 4 level up flag thing in beta 6 for the updated elite4?

    Yes, too bad that they dont show up in PET, so I'll have to edit them by hand with hex -_-

    Hey Zel!!
    I found img of all 493 pokemons, for battle...
    if you want send me one e-mail,
    why img's that I found, pokemos are very beautiful
    and in perfect state for for in the game, ^^

    I already have Marnic helping me in that matter.

    Do you think you can fix all bugs?

    Over the time I'm sure most of them (the goal is that all) will be fixed. I'm not sure if it's really possible. Time will tell.

    Who is the Rival Ashlee, I think she has a Pikachu

    She's a Pokemon Thief. Her background goes in that she was an orphan adopted by a group of bandits, and then she was given her Pikachu. After a few years, the gang broke and she decided to become the greatest thief ever, with the help of her partner, Pika.

    All the trainers have some kind of background story I thought (it's not really long stories, but it's necessary that all of them have something, so they can be more realistic and help me define their personalities), if you want to know more about them, just ask me.

    Hi, Zel.
    I know that noone knows me here, but I've been following some of the hacks for... what, five or six months.
    Anyways, I downloaded the fifth beta, and had a great fun with it. But, if you don't mind, I only have some suggestions (I hope I won't be bashed :P ):
    • I think Lance giving you a Clamperl instead of a HM is a risky move, because, potentially, you can keep the player from finishing the game, if he/she releases or trades the Clamperl. If I were you (which, of course, I'm not ^^), I would alter some of the maps to replace whirlpools with breakable rocks, so that it would work with a HM (Lance then would give the HM and the guy giving the HM would give a TM). It sure will differ from what happens in real Gold Version, but then, it would be safer, I guess.
    • Effectively, as it was stated earlier in this thread, you could replace the Union Cave Pokémon Center with a house where someone heals your Pokémon if you don't manage to get it to work, because at that point, after a route full of trainers and a cave ahead, it would be nice to be able to heal Pokémon.
    • If it's possible, it would be nice to get rid of first person views (as opposed to watch wrong first person views when entering locations, or even as opposed to watch them at all)
    Otherwise... well, I'm almost speechless. The hack made my... day? No, week. No, month. Yeah, month.

    Good luck with it, keep up the great work. Cheers.

    I wanted to retain the extra HM in FR for something in the future, and to avoid having to touch all the pokes learnable moves again...

    That's why I kept the Whirlpool as a move with the Clamperl, at that time I thought it was a good idea, killing two birds with the same stone, as I'd be giving the move AND a Hoenn Pokemon at the same time.

    Over the course of the days, I've been getting more negative feedback about this decision, so I guess I'll have to think some more about that. I may change my mind and make Whirlpool an HM (after all, I could still implement what I had planned, but, without an HM as I planned)

    The PC on R32 actually heals as long as you have used another PC before (which I guess most of the time must happen, so that's why I didn't bother much about that)

    And the first person views, something else controls that (something internal in the game out of my reach), all I could think about that is putting a black screen instead of that, but that's all as of now.

    Hey Zel, now that you know how to edit TMs, isn't it possible to make at that he gives you a TM for Whirlpool? Maybe TM 51 or something. That would give the game the same ammount of TMs/HMs as the original, the only difference being swaping a Whirpool HM for a Whirpool TM. It's just an idea, and then you could be able to buy the TM in Celdaon City, or swap something for it somewhere else.

    Increasing the list of TMs sounds... I dont know... Something that can't be done (though I know there are no impossibles, but for me it is...), as I said a moment ago, I'll think if I make Whirlpool an HM.

    Zel, I've found quite strange bug: when you travel from Saffron to Goldenrod via Magnet train, with and UP Arrow key pressed, you get out of the train from the other side, you may see the train animation and cannot get out of the building. Travelling from Goldenrod to Saffron seems ok.

    It was already informed to me in a PM some time ago. And it's one of those events that I said would be messed if you press something during the time a warp event is getting executed. I already knew about that one (and I received a PM that maybe it'll fix it... I cant try it as I'm not fixing stuff yet, only trying to progress more)

    Zel said the random baby egg hatches into one out of four babies.
    I know three of them: Pichu, Elekid and Magby.
    Which is the other one? Smoochum? Cleffa? Igglybuff?
    I'd bet Smochum, but I have to be sure. Can anyone confirm?

    Smoochum, yes (it was quite obvious)

  • Also, that house idea woudn't work becasue its a remake, and theres a pokemon center there in teh original.
    Like Carlos, Ashlee and Amelia were in the original. ;)
    I mean, I don't care if it's a Pokémon Center or a healing house as long as it heals. OK, the Pokémon Center has a computer and stuff, but if Zel doesn't manage to get the Pokémon Center to work, a healing house wouldn't be a bad thing, cause it's better to have a working healing house, than a non-working Pokémon Center. I didn't suggest to replace it just like "It resembles the Gold Version too much change that, that and that":laugh:.

    Well, you can get other whirlpool HM's (i forgot where, i think Zel said it before)
    OK, so just forget my first suggestion if it's the case. My guess is I have to explore the hack better... :\

    EDIT: OK, I was too slow with the answer. Thanks for answering to my post, Zel ;)

    Thanks, Zel, now I'm almost done with the Shiny Gold dex list.
    Tomorrow it'll be ready, so I'll try uploading it, although I don't know how to do it, yet. xD
    Well, that's it. ^^

  • ...it may be your first hack but it will definitly be your best ...

    Are you saying the rest (maybe) will be of a lesser quality? jks.

    Zel, If you don't want to Add an HM/TM for Whirlpool, then an unlimited move tutor in Mahogany (unlocked after the Lance Event) is a possibility, no?

    As for the killing PC, you could add in a tiny event before that, forcing the player to "try out" a PC. Like someone in Azalea PokeCenter giving you a tutorial/intro for a PC.

    Just suggestions, of course...

  • I didnt mean that his other hacks would have less quality what i meant was if he ever makes other hacks this one will be tops unless he plans to make another Johto-based game not to be offensive or anything also i just beat the elite four as well do i get a ticket to go ride a boat from olivine or ride the magnet train and in the future once it is in its final version could you possibly upload the rom as a whole instead of having to download the rom & patch seperately just a thought and are you going to open the museum in pewter city?

    In response to the upload of the ROM as a whole, the answer is indefinitly no.

    After you defaet the Elite 4 you should recieve a ticket from Prof. Elm to ride the boat from Olivine. you still have to solve the magnet train problems before you can ride it.

  • Heya All!

    Ok... I just finished the Pokemon league and after the credits my game starts from the very beginning and it says "The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed." Can anyone help me with this? I have it saved on 128K

  • I do believe the fix for the 1M circuit board is to apply a save patch. I think one comes with Elitemap, but I'm not possitive about that.
