FireRed hack: POKEMON: Dark Rising

I don't know if thats been brought up but after you enter the Prof's lab again and go directly left you are unable to move anymore. Also, can anyone tell me if Horsea is available in this game (and if so, will it be able to evolve into Kingdra)?
So if you can avoid it don't go there. Horsea is available in the hack and check out the location as well as the evolution guide by Dark Rising Girl on first page


My only recommendation for this game would be you increase the level of wild pokemon o the experience they give to be at least somewhat on par with the ridiculous level slope. I have no problem grinding if I have to beat a trainer, but it doesn't add difficulty when you force someone with level 45 pokemon to grind on lv 20 spinarak's...it causes annoyance. The game is plenty difficult with every single pokemon you face (trainer) having some sort of status and a 5-10 level jump on you.
The game is hard I admit but only until you receive VS Seeker.


how do i download this.? help? zip and gba
PM me and I will tell you what to do or read my above post

You used Ferrothorn, that's even more than using legendary xD
Which equals your favourite and best Poke (Lucario). Which is also more than using the legendary :D

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TIME


Here it comes............







Wait for it.......................




......





......



Okay, this isn't sounding right..............



.....






I'll be submitting the Dark Rising 2 thread in 2 days! So it'll be posted in the progression hacks section in the upcoming days. Now, back to work for me!
Quite a long time you put up . :D Well bring on the two waiting days

Just want to say this is the best hack so far for me man. THANK YOU
Also, just a suggestion to people, that bug that repeats a event is not that bad.
You could use those events to gain exp for example you could battle Light in
Volair forest a couple times to gain exp.

You are right but it won't look good. So it should be rectified.

Nope, there really isn't any mandatory pokemon for you to have in your party. Mine sat in my PC with all the other legendaries.

As for sacred ash, I guess Victini would have to be holding it and the last alive?

So bloody frustrating. I've finished the Dark Rising HQ mission and the game has bugged out and is causing Sydney to talk as if she is Celio or Oak or Bill whoever it was in the original Fire Red so I can't get back to the main storyline.

Can anyone help!?

For those who are stuck at the DR HQ Mission, there's a cave entrance on Huntik Route that will bring you to Trident Waters If you defeated Light and got the item from him. Down from Trident Waters is Millennium City which will bring you back to the main places in the game. Also, download the latest version of the hack as Sydney and Florina no longer talk as if they're celio or bill.

Well, I cant download the official walkthrough posted on the first page of this thread, mainly due to it wanting me to sign up, which is always a hassle and so much more junk mail in the email account I rarely use anymore.

Overall, Im just now downloading this hack and gonna give it a whirl.

Download the latest version of VBA and try, it would work. If doesn't patching is not good or your ROM is not proper.

I just fix the DR HQ Mission/Getting back to Millennium City problem. You can enter the cave at Huntik route now. Just download the patch on the first post, do all of the patching stuff, then while you're playing, go in and out of a building so the changes can take affect, then go through the cave entrance on huntik route. Hope everything works out for you now and everyone else who's stuck at this problem.





DR2 Thread coming soon...

I know that the creator of this hack wants to move on, and Im not sure if this was ever mentioned, but, after you deliver the parcel in the very beginning of the game, if you go back into the Prof's lab, the event where you deliver the parcel is replayed, and you get 5 more Pokeballs, thus giving an infinite source of Pokeballs and Money (with enough time and patience.)

No one's ever reported that problem and I just tested it. I was able to walk back into the lab after the parcel event and Prof.Ivan graded my pokedex, the event didn't occur again. Make sure you're using the correct Fire Red version Rom & that it's clean.

I can never seem to tell what version of the Fire Red rom Im using. I mean, it's not that bad of a glitch, but I'll still look into a newer version of the ROM to prevent it if we need to go back to the Ivan.

OK, Ive tried alot of Fire Red Roms, and I can either not get them to load the hack or they do recreate the Pokedex getting event every time I enter the lab. I dont know what's going on, and if I have to talk to Ivan after said event for a later event, then Im screwed out of it.

Don't worry, you won't have too. But to re-load your save files, on your gba emulator go to File-Load-then find the save file on your computer, then click it. Don't go to "Load game" when you're reloading a save file from a different patch or rom.
