3rd Gen Emerald, mist when diving?

[kingly]

Does anyone know why on pokemon emerald when i dive underwater all i can see is myself with bubbles surrounded by thick mist?

I had the same problem with the lavaridge gym and mount pyre but i found a walkthrough which told me the exact steps to take so i overcame those problems yet this is unexplainable. Can anyone help.

Do you have any pictures???

Eh, many people have made a thread like this stating the same problem. There is no way to get rid of the mist underground, in the Gym, or in Mt. Pyre.

Defog was created in Diamond and Pearl to fix this problem... or to be annoying... or both. Either way I still hate it.

ANYWAY! There is no way to get rid of it.

THatt mist. I hate it! Hate it. But yes. You cant get rid of it. Its ingame. Your game is fine.

Ok thanks, is there anyway to navigate through the mist so i can battle the trainers and collect the items? or will i just have to skip it or do it blind?

 

[BREAKINGBEN]

Uhm, you may be able to find a map online (not a very good one though)... but you probably will have to do it blind and guess.

its ok, i have found a way around it, for future reference if anyone has this problem completley skip diving and surf down to route 128, then dive down on route 128 and re-surface, when you resurface, for a split second the mist will disappear so you can vaguely see the entrance to the sea floor cavern then you can enter and continue the journey.

Incidentally, if you're playing an ROM, chances are, you:

1. Are playing a bad ROM. Try downloading another version.
2. Need to play with your emulator's settings (because not all layers are being displayed at the same time).
3. Are playing on no$gba (which, from what I understand, doesn't support the fog feature) or an older version of VBA. Try downloading the latest version of VBA and try it again.
