I've only played Red/Blue/Yellow/Silver/Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald but Light Platinum is EASILY the most fun pokemon game I've ever played so far. I love that it allows you to level faster and ultimately reach a much higher level than usual. Also the epic pokemon you get to train. And the mapping is very unique and fun!

A few suggestions for future hacks:
-An intermediate health potion that recovers 100 HP. Super potions quickly lose their value
-Unlimited bag space
-Person you can talk to who can evolve trade only pokemon (I thought this existed so I trained a Kadabra to level 50 lol)
-Every pokemon obtainable in game (I'm pretty sure this is already true for LP)
-At the beginning of a game, ability to choose 3 starters from the entire pool. Might be fun for future hacks idk.

I started this rom yesterday and I'm quite impressed. There are some bugs, like when I choosed my Totodile the game showed another Pokemon's imagem!

I realized that some pokemons don't needed to be traded to evolve like my Electivire, but do you know if is possible to evolve Haunter?

mk.ultra August 26th, 2013 7:14 PM

Found a couple bugs:

-Small one where when you fly onto the bridge right before Lendyn Town you are still flying until you enter and exit a building. Harmless though.
-Serious bug which sent me all the way back to Skyner City even though I had last healed at Kosaka City and made me redo many small events (But not rebattle trainers). After I completed the Sky Tower and tried to exit, I got stuck between the door and the guard who had magically reappeared. I didn't have Fly with me and my last save was in the tower so I had to purposely white out to get sent back to Skyner.

EDIT: This bug has effectively ended my game. When I try to talk to Lucy/enter the gym, no one is there and it says "I should find Lucy." But the guard is still in front of the Sky Tower.

After Googling, looks like it isn't the first time this bug has happened. It's game over. HUGE buzzkill, but props nonetheless. It was incredibly fun up to that point.

How do you evolve to Electivire? I cannot use the thunderstone on Electabuzz.

That sucks man. I would use Walk Through Walls to continue through the game. It is a great game, and if more bug fixing was done for the game, I think the experience wouldn't be ruined for so many people. I mean, why do so many events share the same flags? Is there a limit to the amount of flags a ROM can have? Is this also the reason why a lot of people and events have the same scripts?

I believe electabuzz evolves through level up. I don't think he levels up until the mid 30's. don't be surprised though when he evolves because his level will end up being lower than the level you evolved him at. It's just another bug that never got fixed.

Yeah, it almost seems like nobody worked on these matters at all. The game is still full of bugs. I've spent so much time and effort on this game and now I am afraid of getting stuck at the same place as that guy after all this time. This is wrong. Someone has to take this fixing duty, and do it seriously.

Elekid evolved into Electabuzz at 30. I want to know what level Electabuzz will evolve into Electivire, if he ever evolves into.
I don't mind his level reduction unless his stats decrease. Actually level reduction would help me train pokemon above their caps.

Yea, might actually be a feature now...

I don't think this is good place to place ideas for other hacks.

Well... obviously there's a limited amount of flags, ROM has limited space, but there should be more than enough to be used. We still don't know why flags keep on resetting.

He was just making suggestions not posting ideas for another hack.

Level 50 Lucario
Level 38 Garchomp (its pre-evolution)

AzzyDA August 27th, 2013 12:20 PM

Hi, i cannot seem to talk to kenta as he will not turn around. He is standing behind a map looking at it in the city after inhore, where i believe we were supposed to have battled.

mk.ultra August 27th, 2013 12:51 PM

Looks like the wallhack fixed my issue!

How do you evolve Electabuzz into Electrivire?

gather every info you need to do, you might need to do something first.

Use Ruby's Gameshark code for walking through walls. There is a video on that here. The description gives that code. I can help with entering into VBA if you use that and need the help.

raymeon August 28th, 2013 8:20 AM

Hopefully someone can help me with this. Basically I am stuck in Groment City because I can't get into the museum, the gym, or the mines. I watched walkthroughs on youtube to find that you get the museum ticket from the guy blocking the gym, but I don't. I tried a walkthrough walls cheat but even that didn't help because when I was in the museum I fought everyone and then at the end of it I am not able to talk to the people at the end. Same in mt. zhery, once I get to the end I cant talk to the two people batteling with a steelix and a metang. Which is where I get surf. It may be because I switched the save state because I plaed an outdated version and switched to the full version but I really want to continue with the game. Anyone have any advice or is it over for me here :/

Team

Gyarados lv 50
Pupitar lv 48
Raichu Lv 46
Ninetails Lv49
Lucario Lv 43
Toarkoal Hm slave

iNzO August 28th, 2013 8:36 AM

Thanks Cyclone. But I am playing the game in my Windows Mobile. Btw, a save state saved me there though I had to let all me pokemons faint intentionally. :/
Now I am in Serenity town. Btw, does anyone know where to find Ditto?

I mean that I cannot use cheats here in my emulator. :/

Erenussocrates August 28th, 2013 12:01 PM

Found another typo at the end of National Park. It's the girl trainer that player battles last before leaving National Park.
Also 100th time, I wonder how to obtain Electrivire?

sumitox August 28th, 2013 12:05 PM

Im not advanced too much on this game, but , it flashes me with a fantastic history, god tiles, god pokemons sprites, however, PLP dont convince me only for one thing, is ruby base... this hack on a emerald or fr/lg will be a Beast!!

Only can i say, the best hack rom ivd playd , without end game, sound stpd , but is real, is PLP, second, flora sky!! ^^

Congrats.!! U all are amazing!!

Pokemon Light Platinum actually has a post-game. After beating the Zhery League, you can start the Lauren League(basically a whole new region). After that is the World Championship and there is also catching all the legendary pokemon(guide here :http://wesleyfg.weebly.com/legendary-pokeacutemon.html). Light Platinum is too advanced to be made in something like Pokemon Emerald or Fire Red. It would take a lot of effort and time, and wouldn't really be worth the trouble.

You can obtain elekid(the baby evolution of electrivire) on the side of the Professor's laboratory. I know that electabuzz evolves into electrivire at level 40. When it evolves, the resulting elevtrivire will be at level 37. I don't think its stats go down though. Look at this video here(skip to about 8:40) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLRVwmFWdRM&list=PL89A831B6561100AA&index=20

Also, for anyone looking for good walkthroughs of the game look here :
Tyranee's Let's Play : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA8C8D6B638861B3C
MunchingOrange's Let's Play : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89A831B6561100AA
PokeCinema's Let's Play : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkzlVxz4e30bk7l8oPfwbjSjK_h_YbU8x
TheWileChase's Let's Play : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8B7424AEC87502D7

All of these Let's Play go through the entire game, including the Lauren Region(except for PokeCinema, he has only started the Lauren Region). TheWileChase's also shows the World Championship and MunchingOrange's shows how to get all the legendary pokemon(except he missed a couple, use the link above for a written guide on the legendaries).

Erenussocrates August 28th, 2013 2:46 PM

Oh, so it's level 40 then, thanks. I should look into those walkthroughts if I ever need.

Also, for some reason fishing seems pretty broken in this game. Even though I push A button right on time, pokemon ever rarely gets on the hook. This can be frustrating and annoying sometimes.

Edit: I wonder if it is really possible for your pokemon to catch Pokerus in Guardian Tower in Dardusk City? And is there any way to check if your pokemon has pokerus or not in game?
And is there a Macho Brace somewhere in this hack? Where is it?

And for the 100th time, someone answered with level 40... you should seriously read before asking the same question 100 times.

Dunno what you don't like on Ruby base but Ruby base offer the same quality as the Fire Red one.

That ought to have been fixed in Snake's final version...
