Emerald hack: Altered Emerald (386+ patch with new maps and 7th gen battle engine/evos)

[prohibitivemind]

I have some doubts
Could I use cut even riding a bike? My parascect can't.
And what about celebi? Has any specific grass?
I don't find the man who accept the tickets after cought Mew.
And I think that birth's Lab secret room have a bug, after enter, the char move up unless down.

Great work.
I'd loved This game

1. You can't use cut while riding a bike, that's just how things are (i think).
2. Celebi is not in the grass in the hidden spot, it's in the shrine to the left-- Walk up to it and press A to encounter it.
3. The man is in the Slateport Docks, walk up and behind the building to find the second entrance and you'll see him when you enter.
4. Birth Island/Deoxys ticket does not currently work in this version due to a glitch.

I can't use parascect's cut on the Grass from route 109.
I didn't found the Mystery ticket, If this is on MT. Pyre, is very well hide
Some another problem, My poliwril isn't abble to use moon Stone

I've found cellebi and the ticket guy, tanks.

Where's the Water Stone on Route 114?

Hi,

A few things I wanted to ask/talk about!

- The old sea map leads you to an island, but I cannot entrer the forest inside. So I am trapped there;
- Repels do not work;
- It is not possible to get the white flute (but it is possible to get all the other flutes). If I collect just enough ash, he still wants me to get 0 ash. If I collect one more, he wants me to collect 2^16-1 more. I think it won't be hard for you to find a fix;
- It is possible to get trapped at the entrance of the Pi'a Canyon if you don't have surf and fall down the mud slope; This is linked to your header problems
- Enter the fiery path from the south entrane, then go up*3 and left*2. You go through the wall;
- Route 119, at the very north, where there is a Cross Bike puzzle north of the northmost cascade, it is not possible to get the northmost item. I can't use cut from anywhere to cut the tlal grass blocking the path;
- How to enter the cave at the frontier between Route 111 and Route 113?;
- Going north of Mauville into Route 11, there is a lake west of the house of the family that battles you. There is a patch of two tiles you can walk on to the left. Well, just right of the top one, I am walking on top of water.

That's about all I can think about. What is the reasons to nerf Cascade that much?

hello guys..i won the dewford gym and also talked to steve from the cave and he left,...

whats next ? i cant move on.the old man with ferry is not here :/

Been playing for quite a while now and I just wasted a lot of time just trying to find a good grass type.
So far I trained 3 grass types:
Sceptile: I was so excited to see that he was actually Physically based so that I could make use of Sceptile's diverse physical moveset, just got turned off that he's pure Grass, I expected him to be Grass/Dragon or even Grass/Dark :(

Meganium - Also got hyped with the new typing, upon checking it's Grass/Ground. Still physically based I think, turned off by the lackluster movepool, i was expecting I could go Synthesis, Curse, (physical grass move), and Earthquake, turns out all moves it learns are support moves -,-

Shiftry - I really thought he was viable, statwise, it is, but also lackluster movepool, I mean COME ON, it doesn't learn Leafblade, Crunch or other stab physical moves. So far the only notable moves it learns is just Extrasensory -,-

Will find myself a Tropius, hopefully I won't be disappointed. :/

Edit: Found myself a Tropius but :/
I did catch myself a bellsprout though, and damn it would've really been good if I could utilize its movepool and ability, but eh. Sunlight + Growth doesn't work here, which is sad, and I can't use Viktreebel with it's VERY low speed, I could only use it under sunlight due to chlorophyll, and I can't use water spout too with a sunlight team, gonna play with him for awhile and see what I can do...

 

[Pokegeorge123]

So I may be missing something really stupidly obvious but I started playing this rom yesterday and at this moment I'm currently stuck in dewford, I've found Steven, beat the gym leader and the boat has gone. Not really sure what's next, any help please

 

[chrispak98]

I have Crawdaunt, Scyther and Onix. It probably seems insufficient but I prefer to catch pokemons I wish to use permanently so the exp don't go to waste.

Level wise they were around mid twenties until I used hacked-rare candies to boost Scyther until he got aerial at around 30 because the first fight gym wrecked me (which was why I was so pissed about the wing attack. It would've been a lot easier if he had that move).

Crawdaunt- same thing. Hacked in candies so he would get crabhammer. Water gun couldn't get me past the gym. I realise my pokemon could do it, but I just didn't have a stronger water type move. Water gun was just way too weak. As expected, with crabhammer, it was easy.

Seems like the issue isn't with the game, I guess. Sorry if my previous review was scathing. You did put in a lot of effort. The problem is that this game is meant for more experienced players who know all the intricate workings and how to play the game most optimally.

I'm not a huge Pokemon buff and am a casual player, so there's that. And for the puzzle, it will probably take two runs for you because you know the route exactly. Other players might be having difficulty especially if they're weaker and need to heal after each battle.

Wish you luck improving the hack along the way,

You're just either really young (under the age of 14) or really bad at pokemon games. This game was maybe a tad bit harder than the original Emerald game, so the fact that you struggled is sort of embarrassing.

I'm guessing it's because all you do is spam attacking moves and have no strategy? Learn to use stat boosting moves, learn to take advantage of types, don't just spam strong moves, that never works.

Instead of blaming the creator and telling him "your 5 years were wasted" (when you probably can't create 1/100 of what he did), why don't you realize you're just bad at the game and learn the mechanics of pokemon battling so you don't lose?

*SPOILERS BELOW!!*
REALLY long analysis and offer for spritework

I'm gonna go through this and give you a decent response but right now I gotta do some revising. See you this evening!! I'll probs release another patch then. Right now all I can definitely say is that I think Smart Strike fixes the steelix issue really nicely so I might sneak that effect in somewhere

defending me

I mean thanks but please don't make this level of personal attacks? The critique he gave me was bang on and the patch you played didn't have scyther/corphish anywhere near as useless as it was in his.

Either I'm blind, stupid, or it's not there, but I can't find the Water Stone on Route 114.

There's like double battle between a camper and a fisherman guarding an item ball. It's defo there!

flannery removes briney

okay I need to deal with this asap

Been playing for quite a while now and I just wasted a lot of time just trying to find a good grass type.

Bellsprout got some beefy buffs this update, it winds up with some mad offensive stats at 70/145/65/140/60/55

The rest of the critique is actually just a bit inaccurate! nuzleaf DOES learn leaf blade at level 28 or so now, I think you're on an old patch?? crunch makes literally no sense on it man idk I'm not givin it a move just cause it seems strong. It still gets Thief which is still a little better than extrasensory

'm not changing sceptile's typing, he's still perfectly strong as heck

Meganium learns swords dance at level 1 (move relearner) and earthquake by tm. next update it's gonna get bulk up by tm, not this one


Alright I gotta fix this briney stuff at some point but as it stands it seems to totally ruin a few people's experiences but not all. This sucks cause i can't work out what's happening, or replicate it! The flannery removing him thins was really stupid of me though, gotta fix that.

NEW UPDATE IS OUT! loads of FIXES to mauville, the missing tickets, victory road's invisible blocks, and BALANCE stuff! MUD SHOT is a new TM28, replacing dig, found just before brawly, nerfed to special, 50 power, 90 accuracy, 30% chance to lower speed, purely because it eats up flannery's Torkoal and Wattson's Magneton. A few mons like poochyena, growlithe, sandshrew learn dig from level up if you need some unlimited escape ropes. Hoppip now learns NO attacking moves except once it evolves, by tm! Hypno now 50/100/100/100/100/60 with access to all the draining moves! Gligar and lickitung rebalanced! Victreebell now massive (see above! I removed eruption from its movepool but it should still be perfectly fine in sun teams) Beat up now 15 power, because it's absolutely terrible anyway!

 

[Aeroborne]

ROM base is?

 

[Mastergamer616]

you can get stuck in the slateport Mart using the pokemon center. im stuck in there indefinatley. i have no way of getting out.

*SPOILERS BELOW!!*...

-crunch lowered defence in gen 3 despite doing special damage so i flipped it

-I swear onix is pretty good once it evolves? I found it pretty reasonable throughout. Beats flannery down soundly with magnitude, has enough defence to tank virtually anything while still dishing out major damage with hustle. then it learns earthquake and strength for some very reasonable STAB moves. The 20% accuracy drop feels bad when it misses, but great when it hits, and I kind of want some casino style gameplay somewhere in the game. Don't think I made it worse anywhere? I defo want to keep Hustle: rock and steel type physical moves are kind of themed around random occasional miss chances. Honestly when I fight physical attackers with steelix it just feels flat out unfair. 200 defense is huge! I gave it Vital Throw for consistency now, and readjusted its moves. I think the problem might be that I balance heavily round TMs like EQ and Strength? Maybe?

Steel wing is a very important move for Murkrow and a nice little option for most other early flying types if you ever need some guaranteed special attack lowering on your team. Can really cripple some opponents. Still useable later on although it's certainly better when you pick it up. I don't want every TM in the game to be exceptional!

Mate I ain't no programmer, I'd be surprised if i could make a move that did anything like that! I may just tweak them though, make explosion fire-type or smth

Ah hyper fang is vital to both of those mons, it's like bone club. I don't need any more physical grass moves with leaf blade and needle arm (already got flinch chance!) in game already, and ghost does just fine with 75 power shadow punch. I may just change it soon though. I have a good idea...

I changed all exp across all pokemon to fit to the difficulty curve, you're absolutely right. It's intentional i'm afraid: things just leveled up way too fast at the start and made the whole game too easy. I'm gonna raised the exp handout in victory road by a little bit in the next patch

Looked at catch rates- most of them are unchanged since the original game with the exception of some early mons. Guess I missed yanma, it had a rate of 75, which is way too low for a time when you have great balls. Good spot!

Soothe Bell's in the same spot as before, someone in slateport fan club gives it you

my god i didn't even think of sidney suiciding his own shedinja! Fixing it soon

Whoops! better fix those dex entries.

Stats are as they were in gen 1 for error, it's in the fastest exp grooup in the game for this exact reason! It halves its own health when it hurts itself in confusion, what a guy.

The rest is an outdated patch think, Snatch is 100% meant to steal everything. It's a big buff, and my god is it a fun move to use. The TM's currently obtainable in slateport museum. Feels really good to use in-game!


I'm quite interested in some alternate sprites, but not necessarily for pok?mon! I'll be releasing the next update in like 5 weeks time or so, so if anything I'll message you a little time after then!

Hi,

A few things I wanted to ask/talk about!...

-fixed, I really hope you didn't save the game man it's a game breaker. New patch might mend it
-90% sure that's fixed
-Just fixed it now! It was literally asking you for 2800 ash because I screwed up
-defo fixed
-That's a cool little easter egg where you can surf on the lava, it's intentional!
- http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hyper_Cutter_(Ability) check out that overworld effect! that's how ;)
-Any time the Mirage tower isn't visible, walk to the cave from the east after re-opening the map
-Thanks for catching this! I just mended it.
-It has priority now! It always goes first.

you can get stuck in the slateport Mart using the pokemon center. im stuck in there indefinatley. i have no way of getting out.

This is fixed in the newest patch

 

[Hanbae333]

So I've been keeping up with this, mainly because I enjoy the concept and it's core. My main issue is with the movepool diversity. For example, I caught Roselia and was stuck with Absorb and Acid for a millennium. I give my suggestion of adding moves from newer generations. There's a severe lack of filler moves. You don't have to add a bunch, just some, enough to fill in gaps for a lot of Pokemon. Night Slash would be an amazing example of filling a move role that is missing in a lot of movesets. Then again, I am against adding unnecessary moves, like Wood Hammer (only Exeggutor would get it).

Also, I don't think I like the Corsola/Shuckle thing at all. It sounds extremely gimmicky for the sake of being gimmicky. Their existance would solely be to be annoying, and really bring no new role to the table.

Either way, you don't have to do anything that I recommend. Keep up the progress, amd great job on the back so far!

(Also this is my first post but whateves)

 

[Hanbae333]

Hindsight tells me that firstly, I meant Mega Drain ^.^. Also, Roselia wasn't the best example, but I think you get the idea I was getting at.

I must be on a different version, then, because it's not there on mine. Oh well. Thanks for the response anyway.

 

[chrispak98]

How do you get to that guy at the bottom of Lillycove City? Rocks block the path to him

Also, is there any way to download the new patch without deleting my old save file?

 

[prohibitivemind]

He's a little tough to get to, I had a rough time figuring it out too. You need to look for a Dive spot on the Open Waters(?) and just figure your way out from there. He gives you a TM, Skill Swap-- just letting you know if you're really wantin' it or you think it's not worth the trouble.

 

[prohibitivemind]

more stuff!!! possible spoilers below!

-On the topic of Explosion-- here's an idea!! making Explosion a Fire type move, and making Selfdestruct a Dark type or Ghost type move? (for shedinja that'd just be crazy if it's faster than the opponent, but you know you've got a disadvantage because of type or status-- just imagine!)
-When my ERROR! got confused it managed to KO itself. it was a very eye-opening experience
-Old Sea Map questline is bugged! Once taken to the island, the Ferry disappears, and the next area is inaccessable-- the entrance doesn?t work at all! You also cannot Fly on the island, thus trapping you completely with no way out
-There are no Rare Candies after Drake in the E4
- "I'm quite interested in some alternate sprites, but not necessarily for pok?mon!" YOU TEASE
