HM05 - Lava Surf
HM06 - Rock Smash

I need rock climb but have no idea how to obtain it.

Sorry The order you showed was all right. I was mentioning it as HM02 in order you obtain it within the game. It will be available in Lauren league where you need it to battle the Gym leader of Flying type pokes.

To answer. Rock Climb is TM39. You obtain it in Lauren in the first Gym. Which means, you don't need it to progress in Zheri.

I'm not using Bulbapedia for hack research. ;) I'm using it to research what Generation III originally had. In short, if you double-check the end of my prior comment, I noted that Rock Tomb no longer exists in this hack and is replaced by Rock Climb in TM39.

What interests me most is whether the Pokémon that can learn Rock Tomb in Gen. III can learn Rock Climb naturally IN THIS HACK. Interestingly, since Scraggy is in this hack, I also equally wonder whether it learns Rock Climb naturally (it does in Unova).

I hate that we can't Fly until we reach Lauren, though. Oh well, it means I have a lot of backtracking to do if I really want to "catch 'em all"! ;)

Speaking of "catching them all"...I can finally buy downgraded Great Balls. After I get that Surf HM, I could technically go everywhere I've been and collect. My nicely leveled Scyther will assist greatly towards Pokédex completion with the False Swipe ability. :D I just wish the regular Pokéballs were available, but I'm guessing they show up in Lauren as well in the first city. Super Repels will help greatly at 500 each; have something like 164K Pokécoins to spend.

BTW, does anyone know when and how we can collect the other eight starters that we did not select during the parts where the twelve all showed up? (I should probably say 10 and 15, mind...after all, I saw Samurott already.)

The sequence of hacks are different than those original.
Hack makers mostly often implement their own attack sets and pokemon base stats than original games:\

Froslass is one of my favorite Pokemon... Would anyone happen to know what the coding is, to get Froslass into the wild? I don't want to accidentally use the wrong one and completely screw up my game.

Wait...what? I know I've been poking around at the events and movement permissions making fixes and have seen all of the legendaries in their various spots (like the one off of Route 408 in the water, or the one to the left of the bridge in 410, even the one in 407), but your wording confuses me. Do you mean that all of the legendaries in the game are only found by defeating a strong rival Trainer somewhere in their strongest form?

If you're wondering why Light Platinum can't be opened up in YAPE... it's because... the hack has a totally different game code and header than the original ROM of Ruby had. Even though it is patched on a Pokémon Ruby ROM.

the hack is in a different language than English, it clearly states here that YAPE cannot be used with any other languages other than English.

Yeah, I know that it's in English, but if YAPE doesn't work... then I'm pretty sure it's got a different game code to what the English Pokémon Ruby Version has. Light Platinum was probably based off the Portuguese Ruby Version after all.

Did you know that patches actually contain any data that is different from the ROM it's meant to be patched on? So even if you patched an English Pokémon Ruby with a patch that's designed for an English Pokémon Ruby that got made from the ROM hack, you'd never know if it was in another language originally. :o It's quite amazing how it works, isn't it? :)

'Cause Light Platinum did start off in Portuguese before someone created an English translated version that was based off the original. ^^

It's also amazing how much things have changed since those very days. 'Cause we now have the stuff that is possible... that wasn't known 4 years ago. ;)

Yes, I know it was originally in Portuguese. I watched a video series that started that way and changed to the English patch later. ;)

That's a completely wrong...
YAPE doesn't work just because the header is changed.
It has nothing to with language.

I know you can travel down Route 417 from Drakebreath City. Since you can't Fly, the best option is traveling that back into Serenity City and heading south through Route 412, Mt. Zhery, Groment City, Route 411 (bring Strength), Mt. Shuem (bring a Lava Surf user), Emerny Town, Marfeny Lake (surfing across), Central City, Route 401, Yellow Town, into the lab. Retrace your steps to Serenity City (this is a great time to gain some experience while traveling the mountain areas BTW, or bring some Super Repels or Max Repels) then work your way back around (including Mt. Icestorm and the water Route 416) as Route 417 is one-way from Drakebreath City. You can't Fly until you reach Lauren and acquire the HM there.

Yes, cruel and a lot of traveling. I'm not looking forward to that. It would have been nice if instead of another huge loop that Drakebreath City was somewhere close to Yellow Town accessible via a late-received HM in the game, or one only useable after defeating the last Gym before the Tablet Trek. Perhaps another long Route could have been in between the two. (But seriously, come on - why can't we at least receive Fly by the 8th Gym instead of in the post-game? Why was there no HM-removable blocker on 417 instead to shorten the trek, with HM received in Drakebreathe or sometime after Snowce City? Just these little things could have been improvements...)

And while I'm at it, I'm now looking at the map. Where on Earth is Route 503? I don't even see data for it.

Did you already got HM2? If not, you can get it in one 0f the house in Serenity City.

Cyclone October 23rd, 2012 8:31 PM

HM02 is located in Serenity City? I read that it's only available in Lauren. Serenity City is my next destination, so I will likely find it eventually. Which Gym clearing allows its use?

Frankly, I'm only one Route away once I re-cross Mt. Zhery. Just have to decide which Pokémon to take with me.

Noo. I don't think I saw him in the market. I'll look again.

I have a minor (maybe) problem. I failed to beat Zero in the Distortion world and ended up in front of the pokecenter in Drakebreath. The guy that was standing in front of the gym is now gone.

Was I suppose to beat Zero? if so, what happens when you do beat him, and am I okay to continue on or should I reload a save and try again?

Cyclone October 24th, 2012 5:54 PM

To be safe, I'd load a prior save or save state. I never accept failure and always go back even after a basic loss as I don't want to miss something in any game.

Repatch the ROM or try another version of the ROM.

Meanwhile, MAJOR BUG ALERT (Route 412).


I was just mucking around on that right side of the lake when I ended up leaping over a log...and now I am waterlocked. To my good fortune, I am using savestates periodically while playing (writing a walkthrough, it helps with creating strategies), and resetting periodically so as to restore any odd data that might randomly be created, so I am not stuck and can go back to the Mt. Zhery entrance to the Route with no problem; I just want to warn anyone here not to run into the same bug. Consider it known, and I'm taking the liberty of doing something with that log (firewood anyone...actually, I just added a rock and left the right part of the log leapable) for a future build.

(And if you're wondering, yes, the rain was turned off for this image; I was running around creating screens for putting together a better looking version of the map than the editor shows. The rain is already back on in the working copy.)

In any case, the alternative is to end up in water battles (yes, the surfable tiles will activate battles if you were to actually change the flags to walk on them as well - this is a game thing, not a hack thing) until your Pokémon either get knocked out or you get run out of moves. In that case you wind up back at Groment City's Pokémon Center and back to Mt. Zhery you go.

Try these options in the emulator setup:

1. Sound output mode: None (fastest).
2. Sound desired sample rate: Low (fast).

The first option might make it work without the second option though. So try it with just the first option and if it still doesn't work, try it with both options at the same time.
If it doesn't work, I'm no help then lol.

Can you post a screenshot? Or even better, tell me where it is and send me screenshots showing the entire text? That's one of the things Ash would be able to fix, and I can run it through a translator (or he can if he wants to).

Cyclone

I was originally going to post a screenshot but every time I hit "Prnt Scrn" and paste it onto Gimp, just a transparent canvas comes up. I guess I can try Photoshop.
As for the non-translated text, right when you come out of the victory road cave, you have to surf right until you reach a dark square patch of water. Hover over it and make sure a Pokemon doesn't know dive. If none of your Pokemon know dive and you hit the A button, the Portuguese language will come up. If your Pokemon do know dive, English text will come up asking if you would like to use dive.

The only other save file I deleted was the backup save I made. The saves for me are .SNP - I sometimes load my games right off of the in game saves. Either way, I always save both ways before quitting.
I really need to get through the underwater part but cannot because of the foggy cloud mist that I can't see anything in.

If you play using VBA, hit F12. Screenshot. Boom. :)

Also, I guess the correct text in that circumstance is the one that says something like, "A Pokémon might be able to dive into the water here." I know the spot you speak of, I've looked ahead in the data to Victory Road and see the underwater travels waiting for me.

Skyy, if you'd like (so you don't have to restart), I can get you copies of the maps as they appear in AdvanceMap copied into Paint and you can use those as a basis for how to get around the area. I'll try to label them for you as well. Note however that they wouldn't be pretty as the tiles with transparency appear black or white in the transparent sections.

Send me a PM with your e-mail if you want that and I'll do some quick PrintScreen work with directions as accurate as I can give.

Okay that would be great. I'll PM you right now. Thanks. Really don't wanna start over.

EDIT: Thanks so much for those maps. They were a real help. I made my way through it without any problems and I also beat the ELITE 4.

Cyclone October 26th, 2012 5:19 PM

No problem! (Lucky I saw the edit, I clicked in to add this post. LMAO)

FYI, if anyone else ever has this problem, I have the maps for both surface and underwater created for that area. I can always send both along with a mini-walkthrough of the area. There are no Trainers down there from what I can see, only on the surface.

So I decided for mapmaking purposes to pause at Serenity City and just wander around everywhere creating maps. I also wanted to know what the Trainer difficulty was like on the eastern side of the eastern loop. This led me to hack a path through the woods and the back of the daycare (don't worry, I plan to patch it back up) and through more woods to get to the other side of the "express route" going west. Cue Drakebreath City (and I got lost). I eventually found Route 416 and surfed for a while, finding wild Pokémon in the 30s in the water. I finally found a Trainer with Lv.40-41 Pokémon. I'm already fighting Lv.38 Pokémon. What is the highest level I am likely to encounter in my travels before the Zhery League (which I expect to be in the 50s, if not in the E4, at least for the Champion)?

Meanwhile, my first six Pokérus infectees are no longer contagious. I oughta spread that around ASAP to the lower-level Pokémon. Not that it will matter, obviously it won't have much effect on the in-game stuff.

NEXT DAY EDIT: So I decided to keep traveling backwards. The script triggers in this game are absolutely genius. Without question. You cannot trigger the next storyline item in sequence until you've cleared the trigger before it, meaning when I went north on 416 to Steam's big base, I found about 11 Grunts and two executives in a U formation but got no fights or anything else. Obviously, because you normally don't talk to them on the map there, they don't have scripts added - at all. I left the island, naturally, and kept going north, moving around to avoid Trainers in the water; I eventually reached the land coming from 415 and went over where I specifically know two script triggers to be; they didn't trigger and the guy who is associated with them stayed put on the right; you can't speak with him in the same way the Grunts are silent.

Just a little proof that you are best to play the game as designed. You can't shortcut via cheating and get the 7th or 8th badges until you get the 6th and do the events up to the 7th badge (even the Gyms themselves remain empty); the only possible flaw is activating the Fly trigger in Drakebreath City (maybe even Snowce City) before you're supposed to be there, allowing a player to completely bypass some Trainers (particularly the trek from Snowce to Drakebreath). I am taking the opportunity to get a LOT of my mapping done, however, so I can concentrate just on the walkthrough by that point. Once Drakebreath and 416 are generally done, it's back to the power station and I'll continue my walkthrough (and that is WITHOUT the Fly trigger in Drakebreath activated). :)

The IPS file is begged or something. I'm getting the white screen issue.

I attempted to change the savetype, and it did nothing. I have also attempted to run the unpatched ruby rom (1.0) and it works fine, the problem is in the IPS file. I've used VBA and VBAM.

Help or an alternate English download link would be nice.

The IPS file worked fine for me. Has it been updated in the last month or two? All I can suggest is redownload it, it might have become corrupt on download. Or, if this is your first emulation playing, VBA (which I also use) may not be set properly for this type of game.

It's already finished ;) Just some minor bug fixing is being made.
As for the second LP, yeah, there was a thread named Light Platinum but it was cancelled but once the creator returned and demanded change of name of this LP, it didn't work fortunately so we still have LP and the argument is already forgotten ;)

And for all who're downloading the IPSs, you are supposed to download ones from Snakebyte's signature, those are the most recent ones.

Try using the in-game save, then reset the game. I had an odd sound while playing once, and using the in-game save with a reset got rid of it.

Okay so after taking a break, I finally found time to play more. Unfortunately I ran into a bug in the first town of Lauren I think. I had to go into the tower and keep Team Steam from catching Raquaza. I did that and then when I exited the building, a guy was blocking my way saying that I wasn't allowed in. I tried going back in and I couldn't. The chick that came out of the gym earlier was in the tower but she was just running up and down. Even when I got done with the event. Team steam were still there also. What can I do to fix this?

Luckily I didn't save, so I can redo this thing again.

You can just go into AdvanceMap and remove the guy to the left or right, update into the VBA location, then you can come and go freely. Probably an errant movement permission.

Also, make sure you have Snakebyte's latest version, it contains some fixes over the one in the topic post. I haven't seen any errant scripted blockers yet, and that factors in the one I saw in a video that I didn't see while playing.

Would you mind telling me which is the newest update of his? I'm not sure If it was this game that I was unsure which was the newest version or if it was a different Pokemon hack. Hopefully I wont have to use A-Map because i know nothing about that.

I will send you mail since I have e-mailed you before.

Snakebyte October 29th, 2012 6:10 PM

My latest version should be in the first topic now, and that sounds like a flag error rather than a movement problem. Sorry, I guess I didn't test Lauren enough. Redo it and see if it recurs?

Regardless, there are links to my three versions in my sig, it should be self-explanatory. I keep them all up in case I had to revert back to an older one in the event of catastrophic errors, but 'Final' should be final. :)

The 'Final' version fixed a glitch with Unova starters and another with Mt. Draken, but may have caused other glitches when I fixed all the Unova dex entries. If anyone encounters a trainer that black screens or takes ages to load in the final version, that issue probably won't be present in previous versions. I really don't have the patience to play through the game over and over again to test it, and I don't think anyone's reported it as a problem, but IF that happens to anyone, just go one version earlier and you should be okay! :)

XeroNos October 29th, 2012 11:38 PM

Try to play hacks on VBA or VBA-M only . The reason you complaining people get white screens is no fault of ips file but fault with the Ruby ROM you download. getting any white screens?? Either refer Wesley's video on first page or PM me :bandit:

Skyy October 30th, 2012 8:28 AM

I tried it over and this time, Team Steam actually disappeared and Lucy was also gone, but the guard was still standing in the way and I could not get back in. So I'll try and patch a new rom to the final version and see if that helps. If not, I'll just use A-Map.

I never had a white screen. Idk why you'd be telling me that. Unless you were speaking to someone else or just in general. If so, never mind then ( :

EDIT: I was already playing the final version but I decided to patch it again to another rom and it fixed my problem. Yay. Now I can continue.

You have to wait for TM Brick Break till Lauren region. As for Lucario i think it already packs decent moves by leveling up

Gotta agree...
If I may say something... these bugs sometimes happen when you mess up something in ROM... the first thing to try is to repatch the game and replace the old version with the new one, that reset all things back to their original state and no messes should leave.

I'm not too sure why there are Sunflora's in the Drakebreath City's water, but the fact I ran into one that was LEVEL 0 is kind of freaky... It had a full HP bar and everything O.o. Also, don't pokemon on Lv 0 have zero HP as well? I should have caught it, or at least taken a screen shot of it.

I don't know how you did that as I have yet to even SEE a Sunflora (and FTR, I have trained in 417 and hacked a path backwards through Drakebreath City while mapping Zhery). What is in the Pokémon data for that city while surfing is as follows, unedited:


Fishing includes Gyarados as a possibility with the Super Rod. That's it.

That glitch sometimes happens to me when I'm testing map connections on my rom hack and I run into the grass with no pokemon with no pokemon on the route. It's either level 0 or level 99.

Yeah, it happens. They don't have 0 HP, that would break the game completely =D Only 0 HPs you can encounter are 000s (MissingNOs), other pokémon have some base HP that is 0 in reality (because any attack kills them instantly).
I also once met a 0 level Pokémon after messing with some offsets =D
Nothing unusual I must say =D

So if I surf in Yellow Town in this hack, I very well might find a Lv.0 Missingno.? :o There are no wild Pokémon listed, which is another thing I hope to correct once I have a full Pokémon list of my own made up for the hack.

The simple answer: you can't. Unless there's someone who serves the role of the Pokémon Fan Club character from Black (see Icirrus City) who gives you standard messages for certain levels, there's no stat you can physically check for it.

Just keep walking around with it and hand it the Exp. Share without battling it (so you don't risk the chance of fainting it and losing time). It took me a while to evolve the Eevee from the Egg, too. It'll come! Probably by the 30s.

Pikachu itself CAN be caught in the wild. I wasn't lucky to get the Pichu event (ran out of balls), and it's not available in the wild. I'm probably going to hack it into Route 2 (where it's caught in the event) and False Swipe the thing for an easy capture on my own game, but otherwise, you better hold on to at least one Pokéball until that event. I spent all of them hastily building a team after seeing all the Trainers on Route 401 - didn't even get the Feebas!

At least Feebas are in the wild!

Alternatively, the Daycare on Route 417 will allow me to breed Pichu. Might get Pikachu first after all!

In Generation III, it only knows Curse if bred from a Slowpoke/bro/king. I do not recall whether that chain is in this game or whether I've even seen it yet. I do know there is a possibility that the Gen. IV and V additions (Fakémon technically, but obviously trying to match the originals where possible) are in fact able to breed with Curse onto Snorlax, and refer to those later gen. lists for possible combinations to try; I offer no guarantees that any connection is picked up, however.

After beating Team Steam in the hideout, grab the tablet then go alllll the way back to your hometown and talk to Prof. Jasmine. Then go alllll the way back to Drakebreath City and the cave will be open. Go in there and complete that event. Then afterwards, The GYM will be accessible. When you finally defeat the GYM leader, Ash will be in the market by the elevator. Talk to him and you will receive an HM. Hope this helps!

Oh, the Tablet is at Steam HQ? That makes sense then, but definitely get to Drakebreath and lock in the ability to Fly so you can just travel quickly between the two locations. :)
