12345: First of all, thanks for commenting and taking an interest! I really enjoyed Flora Sky :P

I did not notice that about the Safari Zone and I have no idea what would cause that.

The showpokepic error ONLY occurs if you play through the contest. If you don't, it's fine.

There are a few people who look like they might be trainers but aren't - This is because Wesley changed their scripts to be the same as other non-trainer NPCs. I fixed one or two that had other issues, but I would have to write new scripts to fix this. If I had to guess, I would say Wesley was running low on room :)

That text error, though, is ENTIRELY my bad. No clue how I missed that. That's what I get for not having Lauren beta-tested... It's fixed, but I'm not releasing a new patch for the currently two text errors people have pointed out. If I need to release a new patch to fix more serious bugs, it will fix this as well. :D

Thanks, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Great work Snakebyte and WesleyFG for making this awesome translation :)

By the way... Venipede seems to be giving more experience points than its evolved form, Whirlipede :D

I'm slightly disappointed with the text though... I see a LOT of repeats with like people out in the streets and in Pokemon Centers... (I think someone mentioned this earlier on in the thread)

But other than that, this hack is great :D

I've played up to Groment City gym and beat Atlas, and I now have a Charizard and Electivire. When my Electabuzz evolved into Electivire it became Level 37 instead of 40. o_O Also shouldn't Beauty be Lady? Since they have the sprite similar to FR/LG's. Also I battled a Camper in Esmerald Gym with a Tranquill (replaces Nuzleaf) and a female Cool Trainer named Ruka with a male Cool Trainer overworld and a Level 28 Sandslash, this is in Route 406 before the 2nd gym badge so I don't think Wesley did this on purpose.

Wow it's already out...? O.o
That was kinda too quick xD
Though we should consider that as not complete since as we can see, some bugs are still remaining =)

it works very well, but may not work on the type of emulator you're using

anyway Sankebyte, THANK YOU for everything, and I did find a small, glitch.
At the beggining, where the doctor indtroduces herself and pokemon, it's partly in spanish. I quickly played up to the point where I read the old engraving, but nothing seems wrong in dialogue yet.

an btw, is the clock's background supposed to be dark? cuz all I see is the green clock, and a black background

anyway, Thanks!!
leews24, I really have no explanation for that at all. The text is simply NOT in the rom. All I can suggest is to delete the .sa1 or .sav file (assuming you're using VBA) and start over. Maybe you played a previous version? Or something? I have no idea, but it should be literally impossible for you to see that text as it hasn't existed in my rom in three weeks... First thing I changed.

EDIT: Maybe try a different Ruby rom...?
These two posts... it reminded me of something...
Snake, did you translate EVERY same string of level scripts?
By that I mean that that each level script has 9 or 10 same text strings and to get rid of portuguesse text, it's necessary to translate all strings.

Yes, some pokemon in Ruby hacks might fall in levels when they evolve =)
As for the Ruka... I think that somehow SP's trainer was already in the game o.O
