    • Actually if you read my edited post, I found another ROM to use. Now I currently have the Plain Badge from Jessica and the Running Shoes. Also I have an Elekid and Charmeleon. I like this version of LP more, thanks for translating it! :) I'll play more of this tomorrow, and I have two days of summer left, school for me begins this Tuesday.

    Ya me too, but the link is a patch for a ruby rom and I dont think we can patch roms with our phone. But I know there is a way to do it or else I wouldnt b able to play half the games I have( which are hacked pokemon games I downloaded through 4shared)

    This is an alright hack, nowhere near as good as it's fanbase makes it out to be, but it's fun.

    I've only played up to the first gym, and noticed some bugs/oddities:
    Magic.png
    Trick.png

    The youngster materialises upon entry to the map--move him to the left a couple of tiles.
    Tile.png

    I'm not entirely sure if it's fixable, but yeah, this glitches up.
    Safari1.png

    I've found this a lot in this hack--scripts reused. For example:
    Roseliaa.png
    Roselia.png
    Roseliaaa.png


    While I'm on the subject, the "HOUSE" signposts are utterly useless. It's better off without a script.

    Pointless.png


    Cousina.png
    Cousin.png


    Paste.png
    Copy.png


    Incidentally, the Marsh Zone has a border error:
    SafariZone-1.png

    The Pichu sign seems to have a) no purpose and b) a hole in it's head. Or is it one of those pose things? Because if so, you can actually...pose.
    Pichu.png

    This tile and the one below it are impassable.
    Movement1.png

    She looks pretty well-developed and...large for a lass.
    Massive.png

    Prof. Oak seems to magically pick up the Pokédexes from the other side of the table. Also, what's with the inclusion of like every protoganist from the Pokémon games excluding Brendan/May?
    MagicalRetrieval.png

    The Combee were quite annoying because they sometimes blocked the path.
    Impassable.png

    This is another example of the disappearing acts that happen (there's a youngster in the next route that magically appears upon entry).
    Disappearingact.png


    Other bugs that I don't have screenshots of:
    - If you do the drowning Pichu event, but lose against Diamond, then another Pichu appears to be drowning. From this, you could in theory raise an army of inept Pichu swimmers. Yeah.
    - If you decide to leave the Safari Zone early, you seem to disappear instead of walk through the doors.

    There were some more but I can't remember.

    Anyway, this hack is pretty good as I said. I think it's overhyped because of it's graphics (which are beautiful, there's no denying that), and I'm not so sure on the story so far... Also according to Snakebyte there is no explanation as to why your Dad taught you the Alpha language, what the Alpha language even is, etc. which is a bit of a disappointment and makes the reason a bit...lackluster, shall we say?

    Anyway, congratulations on completing a hack, Wesley, it is pretty fun, and I'm most probably going to finish it sometime soon, by which time I can give a more in-depth review for more of the hack. :P

    I already posted most of those Bug months ago. I thought they were fixed.
    Well, hope someone fix them.

    • Even though the full version is released, I'm still going to send reports if you don't mind. I'd like to keep this game as flawless as possible. I'm gonna try it now. ^_^ Hopefully the beta test version's saves still work.

    • When ever I fight this trainer I get a black screen but the battle music is still going on in the background. Does anyone know why this could have happened?

    • For people mentioning repeated dialog and funny movement permissions, this is the TRANSLATION OF WESLEYFG'S LIGHT PLATINUM. The bugs that are fixed are the actual bugs, the ones that interrupt gameplay or wreak havok. Wesley's version had repeated text and mailboxes that say HOUSE, and even trainers that say the same thing, and OMG even trainers with the same pokemon line ups one right after another! This is a translation of that version!!!

    This had been developed, created and translated FOR FREE. If you're not happy with it, DON'T PLAY IT! Shesh!

    CosmosStrike: With SmallBirdie's assistance, I pinned down where you were talking about. Neither she or I have any problems with that trainer, so either you've screwed up patching it, or done something in-game that's causing it to screw up and we can't replicate it. If it is my fault, there's very little I can do. However, apparently that trainer can be completely avoided! So just keep on playing! :D

    I'd be interested to know if that happens to anyone else. It was a trainer on Route 409.

    Tried this on the android phone. It works flawlessly. Just have to make sure that the Ruby rom is 1.0. Great rom so far! Thanks for all the hard work put in for this!

    Well, I just finished. And Snakebyte really worked hard for this version. No big bugs I found. Here is some small bugs I got:
    Border Block error:
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png

    He didn't look at the hero.
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png

    Safari Zone bug: When I want to play again, I choose Yes and they say like I choose No. It only back to normal when I go to another map and return.
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png

    Contest Gliches (but I think it's fine)
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png

    I think you can walk through this.
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png

    Show pokepic Bugs (it's really an annoying Ruby bug :\):
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png

    He may be a trainer? He didn't battle. (it's same for some other trainers. I guess SonicBlazePlatinum said this many times but I think it's not very important. :))
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png

    Movement permission bugs
    0907pokemonrubyversionux.png

    Text error (kosaka City)
    0907pokemonrubyversionu.png

    Tile error (trees)

    Congratulation! Wesley, Snakebyte and the others. Finally, this hack has been finished.
