Guys, question here, I'm trying to nuzlocke the harcore mode, but I can't find any patch of grass at viridian or pewter city, do I have the wrong version of the game? I've got the 2.3a, I can enter to digglet's cave before brock. Or how am I supose to catch on those cities?

I've played 2.3a a couple of weeks ago and the extra grass patches were there.

Strange, as it says that anyone with the link should be able to see it.
It is basically just this standard Hall of Fame screen without any pokemon or text, just the background:

I did not do anything different to what I normally do, which is why I am so confused. I always save the game before I face them and then just go from there. Everything works fine until the Hall of Fame screen appears and you are supposed to see the pokemon that you completed the league with, which in this case does not happen. Instead of the pokemon appearing, the game softlocks as soon as the Hall of Fame screen appears and you cannot press anything or do anything at that point, apart from resetting the game.

That's definitely odd. Maybe head on over to the discord and report it. Ask if you should upload your save file and maybe a save state so they can try to reproduce the issue.

This probably isn't the case, but check all your PC boxes for Bad Eggs. If one does happen to be inside, it's likely the cause. I've never come across one on any CFRU based rom hacks. No cheats used, correct?

Hmm, good idea. How can I tell if an egg is bad though?
Never used cheats, so that cannot be a factor in this case.

It will say "Bad EGG" on an actual looking egg. It's like a virus in the game. If you do have any, you'd be recommend to restart. But you've never used cheats so I doubt that's the issue.

I only had one egg in my PC and it wasn't a bad one so it must be related to something else.

When I looked in the "bug-reports" channel on discord, I saw that someone else had reported the exact same problem already. So apparently I'm not the only one having this issue.

Really liking this game. Very challenging. One issue I ran into was that torkoal's hidden ability is not drought like everything else in the game indicates. Its disappointing because he was going to be the centerpiece of my sun team.

My charmander just hit lv16 and evolved before Brock. The furthest i've gone into the game was Viridian Forest. Playing on Hardcore, though I don't remember getting a prompt to enable Restricted Mode. Is this automatically turned on in Hardcore Mode or do I have to set it somewhere? Awesome Mod so far, as a fairly casual Player these trainer battles are challenging already.

EDIT: It stopped gaining EXP at lv16, seems to be working fine after all.

Restricted mode is to prevent trivializing default RR difficulty with cheese setups. Hardcore is basically an hilarious "Anything goes" mode so, I didn't try it (and probably never will :)) but I guess there isn't much point in restricting anything from the player in that mode, I mean, unless it is actually activated by default.

Restricted mode is in fact built into (and made slightly more restrictive in) Hardcore mode. No way to turn it off, it's always active as an added factor for making this version of the game obscenely difficult.

The Hard mod don't let you use some moves and abilities. Mainly one that summon the weather or a terrain and the moves that buff your stats

Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I got banned from the RadicalRed discord server: how can I get back in? I was kicked out because I got hacked, but now everything is fine.

When I sent the PM to help, I overlooked a detail about your situation. The problem is that you're using the wrong ROM file. There's one that has Squirrel in the name. That's the one you need to use.

Is there any way to obtain items like Charizardite Y in the minimal grinding mode, since they require me to show pokemon with EVs when EVs are not available.

If you are in a mode where they removed the EVs, show them a pokemon with more that 120 or 125 in their corresponding base stats (and for Sabrina, show her a shiny).
