FireRed hack: Pokémon DarkViolet (Full Version Released)

i'm testing this hack rom and enjoy it so far, got the 5th badge and i'm looking for the good rod because i want a staryu. already got the old and super rod but i can't find the good one. i've already been into fuchsia city and it's not where it is in fire red game. When i look at the creator documentation, starmie seems to be the lonely pokemon only catchable with good rod. Is anyone know where i can find it ?

According to this, you can get the Good Rod in Vermilion City.
 
oh, thank you ! i'm a bit ashamed, i thought of it but i believed i had the old rod at this place ...
No need to be ashamed. There are a lot of casual changes like that from the mainline FRLG games here, and it's difficult to keep track.
 
Hi, i've got one more question, i got to the battle zone, won there, caught deoxis heatran and mew, is there anything else to do ? no npc told me i had reach the end
i'm asking myself about a door in rocket hideout which i can't enter because of a nasty smell so maybe that's it but i can't find how to enter.
Thanks !
 
Hiya!
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed this ROM Hack! Despite it being 'Kanto all over again'. I liked the fresh spin on both the original story and Kanto itself, presenting it in it's HGSS-style geography, which made it quite enjoyable to play through! Thnx to the devs!

I've also have extracted the Wild Pokémon locations from this ROM Hack and bundled it together with the dev's own location by dex # list, as well as a small list of new evolution methods for those mons that have it (those that simply have had the level at which they evolve changed are not listed). You can download it here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/x8qclufhug8w2dl/Pokemon_Dark_Violet_Documentation.zip/file
Feel free to share it wherever you see fit!

Am I able to apply this patch to Leaf Green or is it Fire Red only?

I pulled the Leaf Green ROM from my cartridge but is says Rev 1, does that mean the patch won't work with it? Is there a way to get my ROM back to base version?

I tried applying the patch to it with ROM Patcher JS and it did so successfully but trying to load it into mGBA shows a white screen, which according to the how to play rom thread means something went wrong with the patch. Any ideas?

This works only with Fire Red. Make sure you download the Squirrels ROM.
