Ruby hack: [Hack of the Year 2011] Pokémon Ruby Destiny - Life of Guardians

[bwburke94]

Good to see another update, though it still might be a mistake to have mentioned the genders of the previous games' protagonists. Also, RoL and RR probably need to be updated to modern hacking standards...

 

[shomoher]

Still that missing gym leader glitch(?) appears on my rom... which sucks because that means I can't proceed onwards... :( Oh well, I'll just wait for the next beta to be released and probably start over...

Nice updates btw DJG!

 

[bluedeedrocks]

I decided to play the Bad mode of the game, and I just finished the event in Lost Shadow with Giratina and I earned my symbol from Lustersand Town. The stone says to go to Rintah town and talk to the shaman, but when I get there, the event with the airship occurs. Is this supposed to happen? it seems a little weird since I'm working with the ranger who wanted to arrest me.

 

[causality]

I am the point of beating the mother virus and the stone tells me to talk to Kronz but he is just saying "are you here to visit this peaceful town". How do I advance the story here? I have 6 badges and I am playing on vizzed. Btw i'll switch to vba if someone can tell me why I cant load it after patching it to a ruby rom.

I saved three different states for the three different paths...but I'm stuck on all three!

The good and bad stories both involve going to Mount Krystal. I'm having a hard time there since I don't have Flash. I've navigated quite deep in but now I can't find the next staircase/cave/however I advance forward. Are there different routes inside or a dead end I might've taken?

I can't find the town I'm supposed to at the start of the normal path. The route below Rainbow City is unfinished and hard to navigate through so I'll try east of Rintah again.

Found the town and proceeding with the boring normal mode smoothly. Still stuck in Mount Krystal on the other two stories though, where the deep awesome story awaits...

on Bad Side, you can get Flash outside Mount Krystal. Talk to the Team Earth grunts blocking the path there.
on Good side, you can get Flash inside a cave right above the house in Low Point Path.

er... i'll check on that one.
in the mean time, try going inside the EM building and talk to the pipz there.

I guess I need to check that...

I'm at the point where I have to re-obtain the badges. I've defeated Janice and went to battle the others... but they're not at their gyms (I went to Vincent and Andrew's gyms... their trainers were there, but the leaders weren't)

 

[U.Flame]

Thanks DJG! ^_^

Wow, i actually caught Suvir! (or however you spell it) I didn't think that was possible! Too bad I didn't try to catch any Suvir-Bots. Are they catchable as well?

You need to beat Guardia Town's EM.

You are NOT supposed to catch that Pokemon xD xD xD
And yes, boss is catchable as well, I think it has better catch rate but it's pretty high leveled, that's why it's so hard.

Wow I had no idea there was an EM in Gaurdia town thanking you very much for your insightful input

...I caught the uncatchable? AWESOME! You sure it's not supposed to be caught? It has the correct Pokedex description, icon, backsprite, etc. We are talking about the mother virus right? Also, by suvir bots I mean the little viruses, I don't know which boss you're refering to. But I aim to catch any unusual Pokemon that I'm not supposed to! XD

Oh also, bug report! The Mineral Cave with Dohydra, Mark is still there no matter which story. But he's invisible in the normal and good stories. He still says the same thing and leaves. I don't know if this affects anything so I didn't save. Dohydra still kicks you out on the normal and good stories regardless whether you talk to invisible Mark or not.

Just to be sure, Dohydra is the Pokemon Mark wants you to catch in the bad story right? I just got to that part. Oh well, I'll catch it anyway.

Let's see how good this hack is...

I see.
Thanks for this input. I will try and fix this, and upload a new beta soon though...

Thanks DJG! ^_^

Suvir can be caught, while the Suvir-bots can't.

And yes, boss is catchable as well, I think it has better catch rate but it's pretty high leveled, that's why it's so hard.

Yes, you can catch Suvir, depending if you are doing the Good Side.
Here's a list of special catchable PKMN in each mode...

Good Side = Suvir
Bad Side = Dohydra
Normal Side = Sprizzle

Wow I had no idea there was an EM in Gaurdia town but where he/she is it dianne's house? because that lady isnt saying anything just .........

a little bit south from your house and there is a new gym there.

Oh also, bug report! The Mineral Cave with Dohydra, Mark is still there no matter which story. But he's invisible in the normal and good stories. He still says the same thing and leaves. I don't know if this affects anything so I didn't save. Dohydra still kicks you out on the normal and good stories regardless whether you talk to invisible Mark or not.

I need to check this then.
Dohydra can only be caught in Bad Side of the story.

She's in the elemental building xD

I was talking about sur-bots (they are not supposed to be caught :D it's their pokedex description xD) and by boss I meant Suvir (mother virus) of course :D

Suvir can be caught, while the Suvir-bots can't.

They can be caught by using Master Ball :D

Great work, destinedjagold! I really like this hack! :)
I'm looking forward to the updates.

Anyways, I have a question. When you go outside the Lost Shadow and go straight up, there's a weird green gem-like-thing on the ground which does nothing. Is it supposed to do something if you play the normal/bad mode of the game? Thanks for replies.

EDIT: By the way my game just got glitched. I'm at the point when you're supposed to go to the league after talking to the shaman in Rintah town, so I went to the league building but all that happened were glitched character sprites blinking on the left corner of the map, disappearing after a while. I tried restarting my save from Rintah town doing the journey to the league several times, but it's always the same. Any ideas?

EDIT#2: Also, it's possible for me to just bypass the trainer who's guarding the path to the victory road (I guess) by just going one step to the left of him and then I can just pass through the door. :D
There's something wrong with the save file I guess.

 

[U.Flame]

Hmm, so the unobtainable wild Pokemon are the Suvir-Bots, Giratina, and Zah.
But since they are wild, I just need a Master Ball. ;) Is it in the game?

Also, I beat the game and I have to say, it was SO deep it made me cry! Damn DJG you should be really proud of that amazing story! If you don't mind, I'd like to give my opinion of the ending:

Spoiler:

I find it weird that the ending is the same for all three paths. I think
that if the character really agreed with Team Earth in the bad side, he/she would embrace Giratina and help them at the end instead of fight them. In the normal side, maybe the character can just let everyone take care of it and not get involved like all the other events in that path, but that's just my opinion, not a demand.

Besides that, I have to say, Vessel is the most incredible boss I ever fought! Angeallen, Devihel, and Giratina's special moves, plus Recover! That's challenging and not only that, but taking the appearance of the main character/Mark and making it awesome like you did, it was just the perfect enemy! God I wish I could catch it!

Can't wait for the completion of the Tower of Fate and any other story events, you're doing great!

Oh yeah, I caught Sprizzle in the normal story. I hope the backsprite and icon are completed soon, that thing is adorable! Though in my opinion, it's gray fluff makes it look a bit like Eevee, so if the fluff was altered a bit, it wouldn't remind people (or just me) of Eevee. Though it's already cute as it is!

 

[Sinny27]

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get this hack to work using an android phone

 

[Luso1221]

Hey guys, how do you get fire stone?? We can't get occultales without a ninetales right??
And by the way, i hope minkak and touclipse gets evos.

 

[Lorrainkaa]

I don't know what to do...

I tried playing this again today, loaded an old save from the Lost Shadow after the Giratina time event (I remember a glitch happening to me there too, which was that I could contol a no-player-character, when I went out from the house, the event was normally continuing, and then I could control my char again and after appearing back in the Lost Shadow I saved.). There's still no one in the league after talking to the shaman. I guess I'll have to start the whole game over again. Anyways, any help will be much appreciated.

 

[bluedeedrocks]

Yeah, the Bad side could still be completed normally after completing the airship even though. Great job on the game though! I still think that Rescue Rangers was my favorite though, it was so story driven and fantastic, the most unique in the series, but I'm looking forward to more Tower of Fate in LoG!
