Buffel Saft

Just some things I wanna share with you:
-I don't know if you already know, but I found a thread about some Gen VI second frame sprites:
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=383194
- And another one in spanish, it's about Gen VII & VIII second frame sprites:
https://whackahack.com/foro/threads/sprites-con-second-frame-para-pokemon-emerald.64674/
There are sprites that are not pleasant to use/see in my opinion, but there are others that are good, like:
Rookidee, Pikipek, Alolan Marowak (First one), Sobble, Rowlet, Appletun, Gigantamax Butterfree, Obstagoon, Toxel, Wooloo, Galarian Slowpoke (First one), Chewtle, Palossand, Galarian Corsola (Second one), Runerigus, & Mr Rime.

Hi I'm wondering if it's possible to have both the Vanilla Pokemon Y and Wilting Y installed on my 3ds. I installed the Wilting Y hack and now I'm wondering how I get the Vanilla Pokemon Y back on my 3ds. Thanks!

For prismatic moon, is there any wild encounter list that you have. That could help me a lot. Thanks!

Ok:
-I imagine in Slateport market or Lilycove Mall, we can buy stuffs from other regions (Johto Pokeballs, Oricorio nectars, Castelia cones...etc)
-I saw in Radical Red thread some people ask questions that are already answered in the docs, so make sure you tell'em to read the docs and the FAQ in your Emerald hack's first post.
-A Pokemon World Tournament? Good idea, I have an idea for a roster:

-Is it hard for you to add new elements (Pokemon/moves/abilities/items) from Crown Tundra DLC?
-I guess new regis events will be in New Mauville (Regieleki) and Meteor Falls (Regidrago)
-I prefer the trainer sprites in your Emerald romhack stay as they are, and not changed to alternative designs from ORAS
-Speaking of which, I Imagine in this romhack, there would be something like a crossover between Hoenn from RSE and Hoenn from ORAS (Characters, some story references, ultra-dimensions...etc), maybe in post-game? maybe some characters from other regions that make sense in this post-game?

OK:
In my Prismatic Moon playthrough, the battle against Ultra Necrozma:
Once I losed, and won the second time.
First of all, Mimikyu used Trick Room, then used toxik on Necro before it ate the Lum Berry, then Salazzle poisoned it with Toxik, Slowbro knocked Naganadel out with Psychic, Muk crunched Necro, then Suddenly Trick Room faded, Decidueye sucker punched it but Necro was so defensive, but Toxik took it out.

All my Pokemon team right now is at Lv90.
Next time will be Mina's Trial, Totem Ribombee, Hapu, and the Pokemon League.

Thanks.

-Does surfing on water have different options of speed?
-Some youtuber made some new stuffs about music in pokeemerald if you want to check it out: https://m.youtube.com/user/Seraphimon1412/featured

Hey, it's been a month!

So:
-I heard you said that you'll give mega evolutions to some pokemon (Flygon & Milotic), so can you also give to others who need it, and I'm talking about pokemon from Johto & Hoenn (Magcargo, Sunflora, Octillery, Solrock, Lunatone, Wailord, Cacturne...etc)
-I guess you're working on Magma & Aqua hideouts right now
-Does Safari Zone have rarer pokemon like Soupercell did to his Radical Red?
-Would you make a part/category of bag where Mega Evolution Gems are in it (If you know what I mean) ?

Allright, about my Prismatic Moon adventure:
I named my male trainer "Konane" (Brown skin, brown hair, grey eyes), and I forgot to tell you that I named my female trainer "Eterna" in Eternal X before (Blonde white girl)

My team right now after Exeggutor Island in Poni Island (I know, too much cutscenes in the game, that's understandable, but they don't make me stop the playthrough):
-Decidueye Lv86 Male (Overgrow):
Brave Bird, Leaf Blade, Sucker Punch, Spirit Shackle
-Alolan Muk Lv 86 Male (Poison Touch):
Crunch, Brick Break, Gunk Shot, Rock Slide
-Ribombee Lv86 Female (Shield Dust):
Moonblast, Draining Kiss, Quiver Dance, Pollen Puff
-Salazzle Lv86 Female (Corrosion):
Nasty Plot, Sludge Bomb, Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower
-Mimikyu Lv86 Male (Disguise):
Shadow Claw, Hone Claws, Play Rough, Leech Life
-Slowbro Lv86 Male (Oblivious):
Scald, Psychic, Calm Mind, Trick Room

My pokemon on PC:
Toucannon, Alakazam, Floatzel, Mudsdale, Golisopod

Trick Room saved me in the battle against Ultra Recon Squad Soliera (against Naganadel & Pheromosa, but hey Salazzle took out Celesteela ad Stakataka thanks to Nasty Plot), I wonder how I'll win against Totem Kommo-O and Ultra Necrozma (Especially Ultra Necrozma), I'll try with my strategy, wish me luck.

An item that hatches eggs faster would be more appropriate in my opinion. All these upcoming futuristic features are simply amazing! I guess they are the perks of applying the Pokeemerald decomp. I really hope that you can pull off the HM replacements feature as well. This hack is definitely going to surpass Altered Emerald and might even become the best Emerald QoL hack of all time! Gud luck with the project!

A Pawniard with Defiant is very much enticing! Regarding eggs, whay not put an Egg Hatcher NPC after one city to quickly hatch the eggs as well! Hey, there are some latest features like Ability Switcher, Nature Changer, EV Resetting / Maxing and HM replacements. Do you plan on implementing them as well? Just curious!

Well, we all have one poke that is special to us and in my case its Swampert. You know what, in Adventures Red, we can catch two Swamperts, a usual one and its Ghost type variant. The prospect of having a variant of my favourite poke fills my heart with immense pleasure. Although, there is nothing special about a Water/Ghost typing. However, Ice/Ground is a marvellous typing, both offensive and defensive. You can wreck havoc with this typing for sure! Just consider this as a friendly request, I'm not putting any kinda pressure or something. Regarding Exp Share, good thing that we are getting it early, it's really helpful in team building. Hey, what about trade mons, eggs and the mons we get to purchase in Celadon game corner? Do you have specific plans for them?

Yup, 18 types are already more than enough! Separate patches for Experimenters and Purists is rather a very good idea, other one or the other will eat your head. Getting a Rotom for New Mauville quest is a wonderful idea as well. These incentives keeps us alive and kicking. Hey, I also assume that Rotom's forme changing props are in the near vicinity too, so as to make this side quest a complete package or you might add another mini quest for its forme change. I have a personal request if it's at all feasible. I would love to see an Ice/Ground or Water/Electric Swampert regional variant. It's my favourite poke and the prospect of it in a different variant excites me so much! Also, please give Exp Share early in the game, its the most sought item and we get it so late, its frustrating. Wishing you luck!

I totally agree on creative changes in Altered Emerald. Luuma even suggested a team for the best possible experience! He is one hell of a hacker alright. Hey, are you religiously going to stick with the original emerald or do you plan to experiment a bit? I mean, adding a new typing, some type changes, a roster of regional variants, new evo methods, side quests to capture exotic mons / items etc. might make your hack super intersting and fun experience. Adding a new typing might be a bit going overboard, but other stuffs would certainly add a lot of diversity to the hack. It's all up to you though. I would suggest you to have a look at the black HP box made by igorfs10. They are gorgeous!

Thanks a bunch for the spriting tips mate! My favourite Emerald QoL hack as of now is Luuma's Altered Emerald. It was pretty much ahead of its time and it also had a unique feature of HM replacement with the move Nature Power; can you believe that, what was he thinking, seriously! I have high hopes from your hack as well. Hey, I forgot to ask, what is the name of your hack?

We are keeping up well too; all thanks to the Lord Almighty! Thanks for asking though!
Goodness gracious! it's right there, isn't it? How on earth did I miss that! I have used Wichu's tool countless times on Firered, yet, I somehow overlooked that panel. My stupidity knows no bounds! Many thanks for taking the time and helping me out on this issue Buffel. There is nothing wrong with animated frames. I replaced one frame with a different mon while the frame belonged to the original mon; so in-game they were overlapping and it certainly looked ugly, My bad! ??????
By the way, what are palette issues? Could you please elaborate a bit on them if it not much of a hassle? I might have encountered one such issue in the past where my whole sprite turned yellow in-game, I still wonder what happened! What are the best practices in this regard?
Also, about your Emerald Hack, is it a QoL hack or you are going to include story elements as well? You are a seasoned hacker here on PC, so I expect nothing less than a blinder from you, anyways.
P.S. Friends?

Hello Buffel!
I hope you and your family and doing well in these testing times! Just came to know that you are working on an emerald hack and currently busy with spriting. I would like to ask you a question regarding sprite replacement in emerald if you don't mind. It might sound stupid but I am struggling on this, nonetheless. The thing is that, I usually use Wichu's Advanced tool to replace sprites in Firered and it works like a charm. No need of indexing or any other technical mumbo jumbo! But when it comes to emerald; we know that it has two frame animations and Wichu's tool is only replacing 1 frame of sprites and they look ugly in-game while animating. Maybe I am missing something, I am not sure. How do you properly replace pokemon sprites in Emerald? Could you please help me on this issue?

Thanks for the info.

I forgot one thing:
-Will it be possible to add a level gap in your Emerald hack for some challenge like Soupercell did in his Radical Red hack?

25th September 2020, the day I began my Prismatic Moon (Standard version) playthrough, with same ruleset:
-"Set" mode
-Level gap so I won't overlevel above highest level of each Totem/Kahuna
-Item limit of 5 in-battle (I know I kinda suck in Pokemon, not only because the battles are hard in Drayano-like hacks, but because opponents also use items in battle, If I want some no item in-battle challenge, I will play battle facilities in your hacks & Drayano's DS ones, and Radical Red of course)

My team after I beated the first Kahuna:
- Dartrix Lv 19 M
- Trumbeak Lv 19 F
- Buizel Lv 19 M
- Grimer (Alolan) Lv 20 M
- Kadabra Lv 21 M (He was at Lv 20 before battling against Hala)
- Cutiefly Lv 19 F

Hello, yeah I'm doing fine.

So:
-Will you make some new abilities and/or moves of your own, and/or make most Gigantamax forms into Mega Evolution in a rebalanced version of your Emerald hack like Soupercell did in his Radical Red hack?
-I found in my Youtube recommandation a video about Flying on Hoenn if you want to check it out, and let me know what you think.
-Would you make your hack trade and battle with some other romhacks?

Anyway, after days I didn't play Eternal X, I finished it already and beated the league in 12th September 2020 (well, better late than ever I guess).

My Team:
Delphox Lv 81
Blastoise Lv 81
Leavanny Lv 81
Slurpuff Lv 81
Aurorus Lv 82
Hawlucha Lv 82

Beated Drasna once, Wikstrom once, Malva once, fainted once by Siebold but beated him in the second battle.
And yea, Aurorus was useful to cancel Drought & Drizzle.
Then I beated Diantha once, thanks to my Hawlucha's Power-Up Punch and Leavanny's Poison Jab. (Sorry my english)

Well for my next game (after I finished a non-Pokemon game for some change), this fall would be ideally good to play Blaze Black 1 & 2 due to Gen V's (My fav gen) 10th anniversary, but I want to play Prismatic Moon instead because I never played Gen VII before, so why not?

Hey, what's up my dude.

OK:
-Will you make a Day/Night wild encounters in your Emerald hack, like Yuuii did in his Radical Red hack?
-I have an idea, why not make an NPC or a machine that lets you build an opponent's team to fight against, so we choose their pokemon, levels, moveset of each, items, abilities, EVs & IVs... etc
-What are some of interesting/unique contents in your hack that other RomHackers inspired you?

Hey, just thought I'd let you know I fixed it. I tried going back in the files and deleting the meta data file, a folder back from the main save file. Seems that can cause the save file to become corrupted, even if you've only launched the game once before. As long as you delete both the main and meta data files it doesn't corrupt anything I've found.

I launched the base game before once, and saved as soon as possible. I deleted the save before I tried installing the hack though. I've tried both the latest versions of Citra nightly and canary, as well as a few previous ones from last year. As of right now, when I try to launch the game with the hack I just get the message that the save file is corrupted. Any ideas?
