Welp, I want to catch to 3 legendary dogs in order to show them to Eusuine & Bill. Obviously caught Suicuine, got Entei after an hour of searching, but Raikou.. Nope.
I did this over 2 hours already. Going back and forth between Route 36 and Route 37 (South of Ecrutek), checking the Poke'dex every time, but nope. He's always on another route, Is there any way to make him come to my route? Am I doing something wrong? I've caught Entei that way and I'm frustrated as hell. I even think of using a cheat code for it..

You're doing nothing wrong. It's just the goofy world of roaming legendaries. I'm hunting for Larvitars in quiet cave but they've both ran away so I totally feel your pain right now.

Wish I'd encouter it just once. I'm using savestates so catching him shouldn't be a problem.. Problem is, I see him tons of times being on route 36 when I'm in 37 and vice versa which is annoyhing

If the roaming algorithm has not been changed you can try this method:

Celebi is in it. Try Wonder Trading after beating both superbosses.
EDIT: My bad, I waited a long time before Wonder Trading. Like Rangi says below me, just beat the Elite 4 once and Wonder Trade. Sorry for spreading incorrect info Rangi!

You just have to beat the Elite 4 for the first time, and then Wonder Trade.

That helped alot - got him after a few minutes. Thanks!
In the end I've wasted a Masterball on him after trying hundreds of times with Quick/Ultra balls. Didn't have the strength to weaken him over and over again
Well, I think the only thing that's left to me story wise is

This hack has been so awesome. Thank you Rangi!

The Ruins of Alph have more subtle colors, based on G/S's SGB palette.
It really is much easier on the eyes than the original palette; it looks great.

Oh, I agree so much with all those statements :D
Im also glad that there is going to be a basement at the soul house^^
Though one question Rangi, I know you mentioned that the data changes so much that normal saves wouldnt work, but what about save states?

That is genius! The route looks so natural like that. I love that it gives the area with the Fly house some use too.
Can I get some feedback on Dim Cave before I implement it in-game? It's a five-floor mine near the Power Plant; you have to push boulders to move mine carts out of your way. (When a boulder falls onto a button, the cart gets sent to the other end of the track.) Here's the layout, without any scattered boulders yet. I probably won't make major changes (designing the puzzle took a while), but can definitely tweak problem areas.

I love hacks that connect routes together like this. One thing I loved about Liquid Crystal was how every ocean could be traversed, and you could swim south of Azalea, west of goldenrod to reach Olivine, and even south of Cherry grove to get closer to Kanto. I'm happy to see this change implemented.
