I'm also having issues with the white screen. Pretty sure I downloaded the correct version, pretty sure my settings are correct and everything, so I have no idea what could have gone wrong.

@Ash493: You say to read previous posts... But I sure don't feel like trying to find the solution inside the 250 pages. It would help a LOT if the solution to the problem was written on the first post or somewhere on the website!

Yeah, so I'm noticing that the whole issue involving the game freezing when electabuzz evolves is still not being talked about... This is the 2nd playthrough I've done that this has happened in. Have we managed to figure out anything in regards to this or am I just going to have to play through without evolving electabuzz?

It has to be your ROM, this has never happened to me at all when I evolved my Electabuzz. So... Maybe your ROM wasn't 100% clean... Which means you may need to patch a different Ruby ROM, but you can transfer your .sav file over to it.

I have been through the game, yet I am making a re-run and a few questions I didn't have before just poped up:

1. Did Wes change the atacks(TMs/HMs) characteristics or does the 3rd Gen rule still applies to physical/special atacks? Are they still type-based, or did he make them like Gen 4/5?

2. Did he change the pokémon's stats or are they still the same as Gen 3? The ones from Gen 4 & 5, do they retain their replaced pokémon's stats or do they have new ones according to which pokémon they are?

I think that's all. Thanks :D

Okay, sorry, I wasn't actually clear with that post.
What I meant was to suggest you to read previous post throughout use of "search thread" function.

1. LP does follow 3rd game mechanics so there's no Physical/Special split =)

2. I don't think 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Pokémon has changed their stats when 4th and 5th generation came.

About question 2, I meant for example: Lucario did not exist on gen3, therefore he replaced a pokémon in the pokédex (atleast I think so). What I mean is, did he edit that pokémon's stats to make it like lucario's or will they be "bugged" - (the pokémon he replaced stats)?

Also, did he edit any moves to "create" Gen 4/5 atacks, or not at all? That said, Gen 4/5 pokémon will learn other moves from gen 3 or lower has a replacement?

That brings me to the question, is lucario any good then?

Last but not least, my Electabuzz is "glitched". I was and am aware of the level decreasing when evolving to gen 4/5 pokémon, yet mine is a male and when he evolves he becomes a female >.>
Any way to fix this?

what should I do at road 510 where team steam is blocking my way to noormeak city?
I used dig standing in the brown circle, but I was told I can't use it there.

Lucario is always good choice :D
Well onto the question...s :D
Yes, Pokémon from gen 4/5 have right stats, though their movesets are changed (which brings us to the next question) because Wes did not change any moves, besides the ones that are used in gameplay like Lava Surf, Glide, etc... :)
Electabuzz's issue has already been answered.
It's like this: Electabuzz has its own growth rate and some chance to be male/female.
Added Electivire has unfortunately different growth rate and I presume 100% to be female. Wes just forgot to edit these minor things ;)

what should I do at road 510 where team steam is blocking my way to noormeak city?
I used dig standing in the brown circle, but I was told I can't use it there.
This is really weird... this is starting to be really serious bug... can you use Dig otherwise? Like to escape from some cave?

Hey !

I just wanted to mention a few bugs I encountered in Flamerny City. I beat Prof. Ellie who told me about the Aron and Super Repel and everything. So I went to Mt Vulcan, only to realize I had no Super Repel. So I went back out, found the SR west of the city, but when I wanted to go back to Mt Vulcan there was a guy blocking the way and saying "only authorized personal". So I think there's a bug that somehow prevents from entering Mt Vulcan twice or something.

The only way I found around the problem was to use a walk through walls cheat code. Then I had another problem, which might be linked to me using a cheat, but I don't know. Anyway, I gave Luke the Super Repel but when I got out of Mt Vulcan, the Aron were still in the city and the entrance to the Gym was still blocked. So I had to use the cheat again to get my badge.

I hope that I haven't broken anything by using this cheat and that I won't get any problem linked to that further in the game, because it's quite long and I wouldn't want to start all over again hehe.

The beta you downloaded is an old one and is not also completed with foreign language.. so the beta your cousin downloaded probably with the name of SNAKEBYTE along with it is complete and the latest one...

You have to press A button not the Dig option on that hole...

Really?! And where does the "old" one stop? Because I also had Charmander as a starter. I downloaded it from here, though...

Ok, so apparently my message is too short so I'm writing stuff to lengthen it.

Well, I got my ROM to work, somehow. So, since the game gave us access to some Ice Zone Safari straight at the beginning, I decided to take this opportunity to do a Mono-ice team.

So, I have two questions related to evolutions:
-I got a Snorunt that I want to evolve into Froslass. Normally, it would require it to be female and to use a Dawn Stone on it. So, how can it evolve in this hack? If it requires a Dawn Stone, where can I find the first one?
-I got a Swinub, which I'd like to see evolve into Mamoswine eventually. Again, how can he evolve in this hack?
