Even though it is possible, you do realize it EXTREMELY difficult to do, right?
Indeed. Many people who only play hacks don't understand why something can't be done. While I have done minimal bits so far (map editing, namely), I still realize that not everything is possible. The limitations present in the original game itself are the constraint at play here.

Trust me, if adding every single move introduced in the 4th gen. was possible, plus adding all 4th gen. Pokes up to Arceus (493), with no removal of the existing movesets and Pokémon, there would already be a ROMhack base available utilizing this for hackers to use at will. Same with adding 5th gen.

If DJG has the time and means to do so, he shld go for it.

That's the main problem why I am not including it, even if it's possible.
Growing up sucks... Need time to go to job, work for money and live each day to survive... :\

How did you activate National Dex in Ruby? By hex editor?

Questions like these should be asked in the Simple Questions thread.
But I'll get back to you.

*goes to User CP > Personal Notepad*
I'm back.
Here's the code you need to add in your script. I forgot if you should add this before or after the PokeDex flag... Meh.

Actually, it is possible to add new moves without replacing older ones. You can look at a tutorial on the R&D forums. I don't know why there isn't a ROM base, but I presume it's to prevent over-usage of it in amateur hacks.

Really?

We need a ROMbase. LMAO Would be neat to play Emerald or somesuch with the movesets in Unova.

Yeah, I am aware of the thread you're pointing out, but I'm kinda busy with real life to figure that one by myself, so yeah...

Anyway, pipz.
Who wants to see some updates? :D

I am done importing the trainers from Beta 1 to the new beta, and so, I can finally make some progress. ;)
The screenshots show Route 6 and Vulcan Town.

I haven't inserted the PKMN battle animations and custom music yet. Those two are low in my priority list.

That would be all. Thanks~

Not sure. I'm currently scripting the events and mapping the rest of the areas.
And then add a few more trainers, some events in the early parts of the game, insert the animations, music, blah, blah, blah blah, blah blah blah...

Yeah... xD

Cool! Is the 10 level bug fixed if you imported all trainers?

Not sure. Didn't get the time to beta test it. Maybe this week, I can test the game, since I will only have three days of work this week (not sure if I should be happy or sad about that)...

So i was replaying the game and the screen seems to just go to the right and just show trees if you spam the A-button in route 2-A when you're about to re-battle Jude and Jorex.You might want to check that in the next Beta.Also do we have to restart the game in the next Beta?

huh...
that's interesting.
I knew that route was buggy.
before the beta was released, after I defeat Jude, my screen turns black and I can't see a thing, although I could still walk around.

I'll check on that. thanks~

and for your question, er...yes, you pipz need to start a new game. :\

It's getting harder and harder holding myself back from playing this. Can't wait until the next beta comes out, I'll give it a test run then.

Hey there!

Loving this hack, it's pretty awesome.

Just wanted to point out that I played for awhile last night and used the in-game save. Well, tonight I tried to open the game up again, and my save file was no longer there. It was there last night, but now it's not.

Just a little bug I thought I'd mention, I normally use the save state feature anyways. Thanks!

Have you really saved? What if only your counterpart from another timeline entered your mind and you started to think that you saved but in this timeline, you actually did not?
What if the save actually is there but cannot be seen by the naked eye?


Okay, seriously... this is kinda weird bug that sometimes happens, you should use in-game saves with save-state saves to backup.
