    I thought I figured this out but the game refuses to save even though I have the right save settings on my emulator, and it refuses to save the game file. I dont want to have to use save states since that has notoriously screwed up my games by setting me back and costing me a lot of progress.

    ok my issue from before is resolved. But this next one is one that has more to do with the current game mechanics than with a bug.

    1: In my game I saw igglybuff has no fairy typing as it doesnt take extra damage due to poison attacks. Is there no fairy type?

    2: TMs are not reusable, a massive flaw due to most TM's not having a shop to buy more of them in the vanilla version of most pokemon games prior to reusable TMs.

    3: Due to the fact fairy types are from gen six, I am left to assume there may be no 6h gen battle mechanics in this hack which I am hoping I am wrong on, since I dont want to have to go out of my way to breed a pokemon for a good Hidden Power when it gives me a bad type /low base power or both for a given pokemon.

    Gentlemen, I am pleased to say that I finally have the 210 pokemon of the game, I want to thank zack knight and looneyman1 for helping me get certain pokemon that I could not find.

    and finally, I want to thank chaos rush for creating this game and hacksrepairman for having finished it when it was canceled some time ago.

    thanks, really

    The only people actively involved with DarkViolet is me and MrDollSteak (same with the 64x64 sprite project), and I can say that I have no plans to implement this feature. That method in the link you posted isn't even true Emerald-style animation, it's just two frames going back and forth (not to mention other side effects of that method, being that the Pokemon would animate at any instance it is drawn on the screen, even if you're just checking your bag during a battle and exit), while Emerald uses all kinds of effects like sprite rotation and even palette glowing (Milotic). It would be cool, but it's not really worth it IMO, not to mention that neither me nor MrDollSteak want to produce second frame Pokemon sprites. If we did, it would be a huge pain in the donkey for reasons I don't feel like going into detail right now.

    EDIT: btw just thought I should mention that I have plans for a Beta 2.2 which should be coming sometime soon. It will be another bug fix release fixing Solar Power (already fixed by MrDollSteak) among other things.

    If you guys encounter the level up freeze bug, please give me more details than just "it froze lol". Like, tell me what trainer and what Pokemon you were using, held item, level, etc. I still have not encountered it on VBA, but I believe you guys that the bug is there, and would like to fix it for Beta 2.2. So please, if it happens, give me as many details as you can so I can replicate it. In fact, it would be really helpful for me if someone could find a scenario in which it ALWAYS happens. So far from reports it seems that it only happens in levels 30+.

    It froze on me in Diglett's Tunnel on the first trainer. My Electrode (Holding Shell Bell) leveled up to level 43 from a Machoke by using Charge Beam.
