Did you already pick up the Alpha Tablet (Team Steam's hideout)
And shown it to Prof. Jasmine ?

If you've done that you can go in the cave.

Draco Miles X July 8th, 2012 1:00 PM

but i still got my doubts it says (Last Updated on 08/16/2011) dunno if this is correct? for the english version

XeroNos July 9th, 2012 2:34 AM

Just an update guys the Walk through is gone to Enermy town. Trying hard to complete it. I bet you all would really like it.

tanjim13 July 9th, 2012 9:34 AM

AMAZING HACK! One of the best I've seen. I have to learn Spanish and Portuguese, cause all of the best hacks are mostly in Spanish or Portuguese.

Dude there is an English translated version of this hack too. Have you tried that?

Shootingace July 10th, 2012 10:07 AM

Great hack I played for 5 hours straight when i first started. I like the starting. It's very epic. I also like the large amount of rivals that are in the game.

Draco Miles X July 10th, 2012 12:59 PM

Just f ound out their is a shaymin in the game also:D which didnt got mentioned in the legendary list. When you have done fighting all rivals/champs for the legends. Go inhore forest close to the exit(whith the combee's) their Shaymin is walking around

Bi0Weapon-FunkyBoy July 10th, 2012 10:57 PM

has anyone had any playing this ROM w/ Gameboid on Android? I can't seem to find any way for me too play it :( The patched ROM will play on VBA, but I'm getting the white screen when ever I try and play it with Gameboid.

Love, Peace, and Beats.

XeroNos July 12th, 2012 1:28 AM

Haa Haa Haa after looking at your comment I was surprised to hear from someone who actually faced a difficulty in this game. Because people have reported this game as a Lv 1 game to beat.. Good luck for your championship title...

LCCoolJ95 July 12th, 2012 2:49 PM

Where the heck is Uxie? I spent the last 2 hours trying to find it. I caught every other legendary besides Uxie...

gridster July 12th, 2012 3:47 PM

Where can I catch a Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite? I tried fishing with a super rod in Drakebreath, but all I get is Magikarp and Gyarados...

EDIT - Forgot to ask. How do you participate in the National Park Contest? It says it's closed...

You get a Dratini as a gift in one of the earlier towns. I forget which one though. I think it was the sand one.

ramibas299 July 13th, 2012 7:02 AM

I checked every city/town. Talked to all of the NPC's, still can't find one.

Grizz July 13th, 2012 8:00 AM

Honestly, this game is a bit too easy for me. By the time of the ghost type gym, all of my pokemon 1HKO'd everything.

XeroNos July 14th, 2012 1:07 AM

Try Hydreigon in place of Dratini if you like.

Zarus July 14th, 2012 7:45 AM

Is it possible to trade pokemon from other games like ruby, sapphire and emerald to this game?

I don't really like Hydreigon. I thought of Gible>Garchomp, but I can't seem to get to that area next to Drakebreath.

I tried. You can't, as the pokemon center's don't have any multiplayer area. (The downstairs where you go to trade pokemon/battle others)

Its really necessary to use walk through wall cheats in any part of this game??
Cause i play it on my mobile and the emulator has no options to insert hacks.....anyone?

bobrepuS July 14th, 2012 10:41 PM

Can someone help me with the white screen problem? I followed the video in the original post but still had the problem.

Zombiekitteh July 14th, 2012 10:53 PM

I was gonna link you to something for that problem but I'm not allowed to because I don't have 15 posts, whatever -_-

Why hasn't my vullaby learned any attacks since I got it? It's level 20 now

I'm guessing maybe they put the newer generations into the ruby version and forgot to re-do their move lists, but I don't know anything about how a hack is made.

PokemonGiratinaX July 14th, 2012 11:58 PM

Normally not, because if you patch it correctly then you won't have any bugs and you won't need to use WTW.

Thanks, you were right ^^

And also I have a little problem with Excadrill. He has Sand Stream (ability) and Excadrill can only learn Sand Force, Sand Rush and Mold Breaker. Is there a way to change his ability, with a tool of some sort?

Jasmin88 July 15th, 2012 7:10 AM

Hello, i was wandering can anyone help me i want to find and catch Bagon and Beldum but i don't have a clue where to start looking. I checked Pokedex and it showed me that Bagon is somewhere in Drakebreath City but i don't know where. Please help me.

I tried opening the ROM and it wouldn't work. It said "Error Loading ROM. Error Reading Base Stats." How do you fix that? Also if its not fixable, is there another tool like that?

Jasmin88 July 15th, 2012 2:28 PM

Thanks for answering, but i didn't understand you completely. So Bagon is not in the game or Bagon and Beldum are not in the game.

Draco Miles X July 15th, 2012 2:35 PM

Bagon is not in the game Beldum is. Its a gift from some one in Ironnem City if i am not mistaking

You do realize that those abilities were introduced in gens IV/V so they don't exist in III gen game, right?

Is there a bug in the game where there are Trainers with the same repeating PKMN?

If so, then I think this hack needs updating, if that's what the fans wish.

Also, I wanted to ask you all: Is there anybody who thinks that Snakebyte's translation is boring and needs some minor changes with the dialogues?

I agree. That's the translator's problem, right? He should try and make the dialogues more interesting and make the players feel like the hack is worth playing.

There is a faster way of accomplishing this task: Edit the current English version.

Also, I've heard that some people wanted to have Glaceon, Leafeon and some other Sinnoh PKMN in this hack. Is that right?

Oh, and I also heard that the current version does not have decapitalization, nor does it have its Pokédex entries edited. Is that also correct?

Let me ask everyone. In what aspects does this hack needs improving?

In addition, has anyone figured out that some city names are misspelled?
'Dardusk City' --> Darkdusk City

'Drakebreath City' --> Dragonbreath City

The other city names are fine, I guess.

I have no issues with any editing of the text in a minor way to add more variety... Or the Pokedex entries, as that is welcome.

But I do have issue if you choose to change the Pokemon available or the like. Wesley chose them to be available like this himself. Editing this is just wrong really. I'd say leave it like it is.

I think :
- Wild Pokemon
- Trainer's Pokemon and Dialogue
- PokeDex Entries

Jasmin88 July 18th, 2012 1:07 AM

It would be great if this hack is a little harder. For example, trainers and Gym leaders Pokemons can have higher levels.

Sure. The PKMN available should be left untouched. I totally agree.

If some Trainers have their PKMN repeated, then maybe it's better to edit them. However, the wild PKMN data should be left untouched. They are there for a reason, you see.

If the Trainer dialogues are repeated, editing them should give the hack a better taste.

SonicBlazePlatinum July 18th, 2012 5:23 AM

For a progress update on Light Platinum X, I'll begin working on it next month. Hopefully it will take a little while to complete as in two weeks, I've got to come up with ideas on what levels trainer's Pokemon need to be and wild Pokemon. Also you will be able to get the Mt. Draken Pokemon in Mt. Sheum since it's a fitting place for dragon Pokemon, probably. The difficulty will be like Pokemon Black and White 2's but more challenging. There might be a LPZ version that's easy like Gold and Silver, but I'll wait until after Light Platinum X is complete first.

It's not a bug but yes, I guess there are trainers with repeated Pokémon.

And by the way, since SBP wants to make LP X, why don't you add your ideas to his hack instead of Snake's version.

Tcoppy July 18th, 2012 2:17 PM

I'm sorry for this probably spam-post but come on, you already have and english release of this hack and yet most of you want a more updated translate with just more variety in the text and some of you blame snakebyte for just translating? However, maybe SP and SBP like Ash said could just work together and make the Light Platinum X version and make it more challenging, with Wesleys permission of course.

A translator's duty is to ensure that the dialogues are not boring. And also, since SBP is going to do his project next month, I should be able to get the new dialogues done before that.

Although I have my own version, it has a deadly bug - the black screen. However, the current English version doesn't have it.
As I've said before, all I'm going to do is edit the repeated Trainer dialogues and Pokédex entries, and do the decapitalization. That's it. I'm not going to do anything else.

About editing the levels of PKMN and stuff related to that, I'll leave it to SBP. After all, it's his idea of doing so.

So, my idea is that I'll do the edits, and after that, SBP will do his edits based on my edited version.

I will base my edits on the current English version because if I add them to SBP's version, I would have to wait for a month to do so.

However, if it's the other way around, then it will be done much quicker.

SonicBlazePlatinum July 18th, 2012 8:10 PM

I decided to begin working on the Light Platinum X hack tomorrow, since it shouldn't take to long. As said before I will only edit wild Pokemon, and Trainer's Pokemon. It will have all 411 Pokemon catchable in it so you can catch all Pokemon after completing the game if you want to. I will not be using SP's version also.

vintagelight July 19th, 2012 12:22 AM

Hello, I got a problem in skyner gym, where my exit path (at the end of the arrows) is blocked by a trainer. So is there any solution? Im thinking of a wall hack or any hack that ignores whatever that is in your way.

You are not Game Freak. Translator's duty here is simply translate the game and present CREATOR's hack and way of thinking to people who don't understand his/hers used language.

XeroNos July 19th, 2012 3:14 AM

Good to see you back Sonic. I knew previously when Snakebyte released the translated version to which I support him no matter how many people complain that its not translated correctly. But you haven't posted after that so I thought you are busy with life..
Looking forward for the X version..

But that still is too much for a translator.
If you get permission to be editor or something, then I won't say a thing.

Cyclone July 19th, 2012 12:43 PM

My opinion, for the two cents it might be worth:

Translating into English is just that, translating into English. Not changing something that could sound better. With that said, you can easily obtain permission to redo the storyline and release an X version (hey, I'd try it) and maybe add a couple of extra Pokémon, features, or storyline elements thus warranting the X.

That may or may not be true. Remember, I used to also do decapitalization in both Beta 1 and 2.

I just checked the English version of this hack and noticed that whoever translated it was very unprofessional.

There are numerous grammatical errors in such short gameplay. (From Yellow Town to Route 401)

I was right to have started my LP project. It seems that I have to add an extra task to my project - eliminate all grammar errors.

I was right to have started my LP project. It seems that I have to add an extra task to my project - eliminate all grammar errors.

Do you have permission from Wesley? And you know who translated it and he/she beat you to the release, and your also calling Wesley unprofessional because Snakebyte just translated the hack that's it.

Yeah but this is still not your hack and there is a difference to have and want. But I will back off if Wesley gives you permission.

That is incorrect, my friend. The translator is unprofessional, not Wesley. Look, if he is unprofessional, then what am I? I haven't even started my own hack, do I have the right to say that is unprofessional? Absolutely not.

You should try and read what I've written. There are numerous grammatical errors, and it has nothing to do with Wesley, only the translator. I was originally the translator of this hack, so whether or not another translator has beaten me in a translation has nothing to do with my rights.

Besides, if I were to only do something as minimal as decapitalization, eliminating grammatical mistakes and editing Pokédex entries, that wouldn't affect the overall gameplay, right? In addition to that, I have the necessary permission to edit all of those, considering I was the translator of Beta 1, 2 and the current as well, just so another translator beat me to it.

Believe it or not, I'm just trying to make this hack more enjoyable for everyone, and I will make absolutely sure that I do not edit anything more than what I've said.

Evidence that I DO have the necessary permission and rights to edit what I've said:

Hey sarcastic prince can't you stop polluting this thread about your OWN stuff and besides since the 99,9% of the community is ok with the current English translation another translation would be pointless .Also remember that EVERYTHING has it's flaws nothing is perfect.And don't be that rude....

Who said anything about a new translation? You don't get my point. Maybe you should take the time to read my previous posts. Now that I have presented my evidence, it is time that I ask everyone to stop doubting what I should or should not do.

Gam3r, I am not polluting the thread. People are doubting me so I had to present some evidence.

Reply to the bolded part: I'm not so sure about that, considering that the current translated version has a lot of grammatical errors and the Pokédex entries haven't been edited yet.

My main point is: If flaws exist, then you should try your best to eliminate them.

PS: I have finally edited all of the Pokédex entries. It took me a lot of time, but I think it's worth it.

I don't think I have your MSN anymore. PM/VM me if you want me to add you again.

You have bad reading skills.

He gives you no permission to mess with anything in the hack other than putting in a name somewhere or to help with managing bugs. Modifications to the Pokédex and changing scripts or held Pokémon are not - let me repeat, NOT - what we call "bugs".

Soooo... what do you do after the Lauren league? I battled Cynthia randomly (was just flying around the region and she was sitting on a bench in that air-balloon city :P).

TCB July 20th, 2012 7:30 PM

I should play this again. I didn't realize this received new translation. I really have been away from this section of the site for a while. XD

Satoshi Ookami July 21st, 2012 12:38 AM

And here we go again...
Why do we care about translating ROM when it's already translated...
Just because SP is perfectionist doesn't mean we need to spam this thread with useless posts...
Who in the world cares about decap of names, who in the world cares about pokedex entries, who in the world cares about grammar mistakes when they don't block you from continuing...?
Hacks aren't supposed to be Game Freak games, they are supposed to be games we present to players to play.
And no grammar mistakes does not make a great story.

Snakebyte July 21st, 2012 2:13 AM

I find it unlikely that I made grammar mistakes. I have a rather firm judo grasp on the English language. If you have specific instances to back that up and aren't just claiming things without any proof to impugn me and my translation, go ahead and list them. It might even motivate me to update a few things, as I remember there being reports of a ton of glitches in Lauren that I didn't personally run into.

EDIT: I saw you comment elsewhere about the nephew/assistant thing for Kenta. You're probably right there, I honestly don't know. I know I was inconsistent and possibly wrong in how Solana and Lunick were related to eachother as well. That was one of the first things to come up, and I got more comfortable with the language as I progressed. I would consider changing Kenta's name to Gold, but not to Ethan, just because Diamond and Pearl are Diamond and Pearl and not Lucas and whateverhernameis (Dawn?). I'm pretty sure Wesley said somewhere that he just forgot the proper name for him and made one up.

I don't want to work with you, but if you are going to call me out repeatedly in public, I would rather something constructive come out of it rather than more pointless forum drama.

XeroNos July 21st, 2012 2:18 AM

Hey Snakey Good to see you back...

DrFuji July 21st, 2012 4:58 AM

Okay everybody, giradialkia and I think its great how so many of you are passionate about Light Platinum and have a multitude of thoughts about what constitutes a translation, but we're going to have to stop this discussion. The last time the issue of translating was raised in this thread it was extremely disruptive and didn't end well. Things have not gotten off to a good start this time around and it could very easily spiral into something just as vicious. Regardless of how you feel about what happened in the past/ how things are playing out right now we're going to have to ask you to refrain from posting about it here.

Let's get this thread back to normal :D

Snakebyte July 21st, 2012 7:39 AM

No worries, mate, I'm not sticking around long enough to cause any issues.

I won't post further here unless I do decide to make an update, in which case it'd be more on-topic than anything short of Wesley coming back. :P

If anyone has any errors in the game that they would like to see corrected--REAL errors, not wanting it decapitalized, wanting cries added in, wanting different names, anything like that--PM/VM/IM me about it. Gameplay issues (short of the contest thing, I've no clue how to fix the hungriest Scraggy ever) and any actual translation/grammatical/whatever errors I've made in the text are both welcome. If I get enough to justify releasing an update, I'll do just that. :)

EDIT: Thanks to Banjora, I've worked out how to fix the XP issue. Keep it coming, guys!

Cool, thanks ^^
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, HERE I COME!

Snakebyte July 21st, 2012 9:41 AM

An update is coming.

Thanks to Banjora Marxvile, I have fixed the thing where many Pokemon give far too little or far too much experience. It was a much, much easier solution than I originally thought, back when I was translating this--someone told me what was wrong and either got it slightly wrong or I misunderstood it, so my apologies, I should have done this ages ago.

I also may have fixed the wilds not appearing in Mt. Draken. We'll see.

The update will also contain a couple of script tweaks I made that I noticed right after release. The problem with the Serenity gym guy showing up was a real problem, and it's fixed. Maybe one or two other small things, I honestly don't remember anything else other than that Growlithe is now able to learn Lava Surf. I haven't gone through the move lists, but some of them are the way they are because Wesley ran out of room to make move tables, so made some evolutions go off the same table. If there are any other move list issues, let me know, but I might say it can't be fixed because of that.

I believe I'll be leaving Lauren's scripts/events alone. I just honestly don't remember this stuff well enough to be confident that I can fix things without breaking other things in the process. Sorry about that, I never claimed to be a hacker. :P

All of what I said is done is done. Pokedex entries... I'll think about it. Cries will not be changed, decapitalization will not occur, names will not be changed unless I get really, really bored and find every instance of 'Kenta' in the game. I may change the 'nephew'/'neighbour' thing, too--It'd help if someone pointed out every instance that it occurred. I don't care enough to go looking, and it'd bug me if I only fixed some of them.

I do not know how to add a healing script to Yellow Town. If anyone wants to volunteer to do that, and can do so without breaking anything else, it will be added in the update. I'll accept adding a bunch of potions to the PC (Is there even a PC?) as a cheap workaround, but I don't know how to do that either. :P

It's been a year since I've looked at this, and aside from what I've mentioned, I don't know what errors exist. Maybe you guys have found things I didn't catch, maybe I just forgot things I intended to fix... What I'm going to do is hold off on posting the update for at least a week, to give you guys time to let me know what else needs to go in it. I'll be away for a bit, but PM/VM me any real errors, or anything I didn't address here or in the above post, and I'll get back to you. It just might take me a couple of days.

You can thank Banjora (and, indirectly, Sarcastic Prince) for this, since I had pretty much forgotten this place existed.

EDIT: Kenta is now Gold!

EDIT: Added a 10% chance of finding Gible in Mt. Winter if the fix for Mt. Draken didn't work! If Mt. Winter's encounters were broken too... well... someone let me know if they were! They were. Bah!

EDIT: I genuinely have no idea why the wilds in Mt. Winter and Mt. Draken don't work, but for a consolation prize I've placed wild Gible in the first area where you have to use Lava Surf, and Bagon in the last part of that same cave. Dratini and Larvitar are available as gifts, and Trapinch is wild elsewhere, I believe that covers everything in there.

Heh....don't think its that easy ! (honestly)=P.....Good luck on it ;) but if you don't bother do some legendary hunting first...

SonicBlazePlatinum July 21st, 2012 1:32 PM

For the X version I might put the Mt. Draken Pokemon in Mt. Shuem, but I'm not sure as of now. Wild Pokemon will be higher leveled and some will be harder to find since this game is supposed to be harder. I've only worked up to Inhore Gym though. I decided to take a break until August, I'll do it badge by badge until Lauren which will take two days. I'll give an update on what gym I'm at. By the way Jessica has a level 23 Vespiquen now and has x4 Super Potions for items. Oh and the Bug Catcher in Route 401 now has a Level 5 Caterpie and no Venipede so you don't have to worry about being Poisoned. Route 401 will be the only easy part ingame since it's the first route. Oh and when the X version is done I'll beta test it to see how hard it is.

I just beat it xD Is there anything else left?
By the way, my highest level is 68 (Charizard) :D
I just kept using revives and full restores.

Snakebyte July 21st, 2012 11:30 PM

Screw it, I'm bored. Here's an update to my English translation of Light Platinum!

This will only work if patched to a Ruby 1.0 ROM.

The patch is too large to upload as an attachment, so I've Sendspaced it again.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/5j2elc


If you get a white screen, you are using the wrong rom, or your emulator is not correctly set. Turn VBA off, delete the Light Platinum.sa1 or .sav file, turn VBA back on, go to Options -> Emulator -> Save Type -> Flash 128k, turn VBA off again, then turn it back on and load the rom once more. If that doesn't work, you are not using a Ruby 1.0 Rom. When looking for it, googling '0907 Ruby 1.0 (U)' might help. I found one on 4shared.

I will not answer any questions about how to make this work on a phone, PSP, or anything that isn't Visual Boy Advance!

Updates:
- All Pokemon except Venipede's line now have the correct base experience and catch rates. Venipede giving tons of experience was something fun and memorable to me, so though it's not as much as before, they still give way more experience than they should.
- Kenta has been renamed to Gold, and is correctly referred to as Oak's assistant, not his nephew.
- Pokemon that were unavailable in Mt. Draken due to the wild encounters not working there will now show up in Mt. Shuem (the first area where you use Lava Surf), with Gible in the first area, and Bagon in the final one.
- Rayner (I think that's the correct name? The Serenity gym leader) will now always show up in the Power Plant. One or two text errors were fixed as well, and Growlithe can now learn HM05 Lava Surf. I did this for Tyranee's Let's Play months ago and never posted it.

Bugs:
- Don't enter the Normal Rank Contest. --Will not be fixed.
- You may need to enter and exit the Pokémon Center after Red's Gyarados uses Rain Dance in Esmerald City. --Will not be fixed.
- Some items may respawn. --Will not be fixed.
- Pokedex entries and cries have not been changed. --Pokedex may be fixed if I figure out how, cries will not.
- Yellow Town needs a healing script. --Will be fixed if I figure out how.
- Wild Pokemon do not appear in Mt. Winter or Mt. Draken --Workaround added, probably will not be fixed as I don't know what's wrong.
- Buggy events in Lauren. --Probably will not be fixed, as I'd have to tweak the scripts on just about every event in the region.

Thanks to (in no particular order)...
- Wesley FG, who made this hack and deserves far, far more credit than I do.
- Banjora Marxvile, for poking me and for making me take a look at the XP issue.
- giradialkia, for making awesome music.
- Sarcastic Prince, for the Kenta thing.
- Darthatron, HackMew, Lu-Ho, and anyone else who made tools I used.
- Me!

This does not mean I am not still open to suggestions. I got impatient and didn't leave time for feedback, I just have other things to do for the next little while and don't want to be thinking about this. Please, if there are any errors that I haven't listed, or if you know how to fix the errors that I have listed, let me know! I'll get back to you guys in a week or two, and if there's enough, I'll just update again!

Come to think of it, I could probably just do the pokedex entries with A-Text... Hmmm...

*writes down notes for 1.2* :P

Oh, and by the way, I haven't tested this at all. I don't think anything I did would break anything else, and I definitely don't care enough to play through the game again to see. Let me know if it did, though!

EDIT: If anyone grabbed this in the first five minutes it was up, please redownload, the link was wrong. Thanks!

Why don't you just add random NPC with special 0x0 (healing)?
Some old lady with random talk "Your Pokémon seem to be hurt, would you like to heal them?"
