Last I checked, there is more space for phone numbers, but there are also more phone numbers in the game compared to vanilla Crystal so you still can't store all of them. It's definitely doable to add all the numbers and save space by rewriting the phone system to use a bitfield?Rangi has...

I wanted to wait until a large enough alpha to comment on the hack, since problems in the earliest alphas are almost certainly going to be fixed and I feel this is enough. The main menu theme is far too high-pitched. What's the original version of the song? I may put the song on my backlog and...

I agree with JasonPK here. Part of the reason the official games get easy over time, even disregarding the shit like the Gen 6 Exp. Share that singlehandedly ruins any fun you may have otherwise had with the game if you forget to turn it off (like I did my first playthrough), is just the...

I'm so glad Gaia's biggest flaw got fixed. Now the game is finally playable.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of changing around canon music too much. To try weighing in specifically on things: Ruins of Alph absolutely shouldn't be changed, since the inside of the ruins have a unique variant of the theme used outside. I would also consider keeping Union Cave the same...

There are no tools used with this ROM, or at least it doesn't use any of the traditional tools you'd normally use. Polished Crystal is hacked using the disassembly, and its github repo is in the opening post, though the github has a lot of changes since the most recent version was released since...

If you were to try adding battle screens, you'd probably have to heavily rearrange the UI to add more room for detail, like TRE2. This would of course probably mean you'd have to undo a lot of the changes you already made to the UI.

If you're just doing it for Alolan formes then it makes sense, I was just replying to FIQ suggesting you should use it for the other missing Pokémon in the hack (i.e. the removed Johto lines).

Would making multiple, separate species of Pokémon sit under the same index slot via multiple formes really be less of a can of worms than expanding the data structure to have 16-bit species indexes? Obviously neither are easy by any stretch of the word, but I was under the impression that...

Be careful about putting Surfable water on Cycling Road, it can lead to glitches like in Prism (Route 47-B has Surfable water but Route 48-B doesn't, and you can surf to 48-B from 47-B's water and get trapped if you enter a battle). If the only Surfable water is below the point where you get...

Lyra already has a final battle implemented for 3.0, I believe.

Are you regularly making commits when you alter your files? It's a good habit to get into, if you fuck up and can't unfuck it like you seemed to you can roll back to an earlier commit and undo the damage.

Wait, is there a complete Gen 2 spritesheet Unova? I've seen the Gen 1-style sheet, but never saw a complete Gen 2 sheet. It's great to see someone want to use my music in their hack, lilbluedemon! I hope to see your hack make it to completion.

To my understanding there's a thing called a GBS player that plays GBC audio files standalone, but I've never ported my songs to that format. Also, you don't necessarily need to steal TPPAC's code to add a music player, you could try using CrystalComplete's code. It's an older version of the...

I'm honestly unsure of that. The hardware may be more difficult to use but the Gen 1 and 2 disassemblies make the act of hacking much simpler and easier than the GBA games. When one or more Gen 3 disassemblies are completed to the extent Gen 1/2 has been, the tide will certainly tip back over to...
