Rename the "3" to "2", must be an an issue with the files on google drive. The file name is different between versions, and occasionally a version ends up with the wrong file. I'm not sure how though as it's named correctly in my local copies.
Could still be the wrong set of files; that welcome text is present in both versions of the hack, it chooses which one to show based on the ROM itself. The only things that actually change in the hack's files are the ultra wormhole encounters, so you won't see any differences before then.
Yeah, it could cause some issues later so I'd suggest redownloading and replacing the files just in case.
Ah I need to make that clearer in the OP. It's referring to a few things that combine to make EV training easily doable without the traditional "kill 252 Zubats" method:
Hey, pk3DS wouldn't save changes to the shiny locks when I tried to remove them so they're all unchanged.
Personally I find that method is no grinding (though it's still a bit of a hassle), but that's definitely not the case if you'd usually skip the trainers!
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy this one too!
Take a look at the trainer and totem documents to see how much harder it is. You can beat the game without worrying about EVs and IVs, but it is a lot easier if you have things like max speed on your fast Pokemon and max HP on your bulky Pokemon. On top of that if you use all the cheese options like refresh and potion spam then your Pokemon's stats won't really matter.
No problem, hope you have fun with it! I should mention that trainers have EVs and those aren't listed in the docs, so they will be noticeably stronger than in the older Pokemon games.
Hey! It's coming along really well, I'm hoping to have version one finished either this weekend or next. It's very similar to my other hacks, but with a lot more QoL stuff as hacking Emerald gives me a lot more freedom than the 3DS games. mechanics-wise it's mostly gen 7 with a bit of gen 8; the battle engine I'm using is still a WIP so gen 8 isn't quite ready yet, most of the moves and abilities aren't done. Gen 8 mons are unobtainable for now as a result, but their data is in the game already so v1 save files will still work with the version that introduces them. I haven't got a version that removes EVs completely, but the normal difficulty setting removes them from trainers, so you won't need to worry about EVs on normal. There's also an NPC that can EV train your mons for money which makes it much easier to do.
Hey, thanks! Yeah the route bosses can be nasty, they've usually got EV trained teams earlier than the other trainers. Eileen's Chatot looks like this:
