Just finished playing through this now! As always, I enjoyed it a ton. I very well might have missed some things, but I thiiink I got most of it? Gonna put my more in-depth thoughts behind spoilers:

i adore this hack. such a delightful and well-made experience and a really good premise. this is the kind of thing the decomps ought to be used for. i completed it in around an hour and i immediately had to recommend it to my friends. thank you for making this!

HUGE UPDATE !!!!!!!!! POKÉMON EMERALD Z V1.3.0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This update contains the most EXCITING CHANGES YET. PLEASE ensure that you start a NEW SAVE FILE so that you can PROPERLY EXPERIENCE a WHOLE NEW HOENN. HAVE FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! The hot springs egg isn't broken, it just takes a very long time, you'll see why once it hatches. Spectracle not working with the move relearner is peculiar, could you provide some screenshots? Sorry to post again so quickly, but a fairly important bug has been unearthed - if you...

Desert Underpass opens up after getting the fifth badge! Yeah, some sort of item system is most likely how I'd go about it. At the moment I'm thinking some kind of key item that can perform HM functions but costs a fee to activate - would likely require a fair bit of fine-tuning, though. I...

Surf is no longer used to cross water. You'll need a Pokémon that can ferry. Most Pokémon that can use Surf can ferry, but there are a few exceptions (mostly Pokémon that are too small to carry you while swimming), and some Pokémon that can ferry can't learn Surf.

Yeah, I may add an alternate method to pick up Acrobatics at some point - if you're playing on an emulator, you can slow down the game's frame rate to make it easier, and the timing is a bit more generous, but it's still pretty nasty. Thank you! I would like to add the Battle Frontier at some...

Pokémon Emerald Z v1.2.0 is here! Featuring material drops, a wild Exp. All setting, an earlier Diving area, and more! Two weeks is long enough that I'm not a liar for saying 1.1.0 would be the last big update for a while, right? This one should for real this time be the last update for the...

As mentioned, the Explorer's Guide is a battle-only item, not something for out of battle use. Sorry! I'm glad you like shiny Noudini, it's one of my favourites too! Can I ask where you were grinding for Sidney? In the Route 111 desert, the low-end wilds give around 200 EXP per kill, and...

You can maximize IVs at the Fallarbor Hyper Training Station! Thank you for reporting this! Seems to be a bug in the Pokéemerald Expansion, will see if I can get it fixed for the next patch I believe the only real postgame content at the moment is the superboss in the Cove Lily Motel, though...

Are you on the latest patch? I could have sworn I got rid of that damn ferry at this point. The Battle Frontier (as you can probably guess lol) is not available yet and you're not supposed to be able to get on that boat. Sorry! Oh, the Explorer's Guide is a battle item. It makes Dig / Dive /...

Not especially. If you value Speed, go for Charcrow. It's a held item, so you give it to your Pokémon and they'll receive the benefits. A little preview of what's to come... (yes I know I said the last update would be the last big one for a while shhhh)

This is intentional behaviour! The Pokémon's original nature doesn't change, but the stats are affected appropriately. This is how it is in the gen 9 games. Check the hints section of the original post.

Awkwhal, I think. It's probably the "best" of the starters in a vacuum, with few weaknesses and good coverage. There's now an NPC in Trick Forest who will provide a hint. Thank you! The Lilycove rival fight was intentionally a bit of a jump to discourage getting into the Department Store prior...

Altering Cave is where it normally is, on the east side of Route 103. You'll have access to it after Slateport. Starter locations are mentioned in the first post. Awkwhal does need a TM to get Ice Beam, but it learns Aurora Beam by level up which can serve a similar function early on. Gift...
