FireRed hack: Pokémon DarkViolet (Full Version Released)

[BDog123]

What a fantastic looking game! I have a problem with my game freezing every time I choose a starter? Any fixes?

There is a bug with the ability sniper on Kingdra. The critical hit procs but there is no message saying that it was a critical hit.
And the second one is more serious, the ability Magic Bounce reflects not only status moves but also some damage dealing moves.

This was my first rom hack. I was so sad and disappointed to found myself blocked by 3-4 person in that cave !

I am so happy to see this again. Its a wonderful game. U shouldn't be ashamed of this Chaos.

Definitely going to play this again.

One thing that I'd like to see changed with the game, is making the TMs reusable like they are in Gen. V. After all this game does give that 5th generation feel mixed with some of 3rd and 4th.

I enjoyed playing this hack a lot, really nice way to retell the story in Kanto.

Do Kadabras evolve to Alakazam by levelling up in this hack, or do I still need to trade?

 

[_pheebee]

Is Riolu in this game? If so, which Pokédex number is he?

Pretty sure it's just Kanto and Johto Pokémon.

 

[LatiasSoulDew]

Do Kadabras evolve to Alakazam by levelling up in this hack, or do I still need to trade?

Not by leveling up, you can evolve Kadabra to Alakazam with Royal Stone (you can buy it in the Underground Market).

Sorry about that, it turns out the latest build I have on hardware was before the particle table was expanded so I got it mixed up. The animation will be altered by the next release.

Has this change ever made it to the final release? I can't speak for hardware, but flash cannon still seems to crash some emulators. (Of those I've tried, it crashes mgba and higan, while it works in VBA-M and mednafen.)

Also, nice touch with Celadon Hotel.


Edit:
I've since played through the rest of the game in mgba, turning off battle animations so that random Nerds or Scientists with a Magneton can't suddenly decide to crash the game. I also tried to document every little bug or error I found. They were all pretty minor, no crashes outside of flash cannon:

Spoiler:

This guy in Fuchsia City uses a bunch of all caps WORDS in his dialogue.

One of the machines in Silph Co. can be walked through.

Giovanni uses the wrong pronoun when referring to a female character.

More capitalization.

Cinnabar Island npc still has dialogue about multiplayer features that were removed.

Dialogue suddenly becomes colored when restoring a fossil.

More ＣＡＰＩＴＡＬＩＺＡＴＩＯＮ.

Nothing happens when you try to talk to the guard between Fuchsia and Route 19.

You shouldn't be able to walk here.

After beating Blaine, Red's dialogue is normal, except when you think he's done talking, it goes crazy.

You sort of clip through objects in Cerulean Cave.

Another gender issue?

The two tiles to the right of the player can't be walked on.

The Pokemon League's doors don't open. You just phase through them. The door of other buildings open.

More colored text.

Each starter has two sprites in the credits, and the colors of the second one are wrong. I thought this might be intentional, but it doesn't happen in vanilla Firered: https://youtu.be/cgdRqMkz_X8?t=119

You can't reach the kid on the right in Vermillion City to talk to them.

Battle Zone: you can't walk on the row of grass below me.

There's no apparent way to reach this item. But I got it anyway, since you can to walk off the northern cliff. The entire row of tiles above the island can be walked on from the island.

All the east-west staircases in the Battle Zone look like this. Each is one tile off from the ones next to it, so you have to zigzag down the stairs instead of walking straight up and down like you can for any other long staircase.

Shouldn't be able to walk here.

Things I'm not sure about:

• 
  I caught both Heatran and Deoxys with one ultra ball, which would be pretty damn unlikely if they both had catch rates of 3.

• 
  Blaine talked about how having his badge would increase the special stats of your pokemon. I don't remember the other gym leaders talking about it, and the guy in Cerulean who talks about the badges is gone, so I assumed that mechanic was removed in this hack. I haven't gone back to the other gym leaders to be sure though.

I would stick with no 16 for Flare Blitz and no. 4 for Overheat if I were u, and I gotta say, this hack is nothing short of awesome. Great story, great backgrounds

[Percy]

congratulations Chaos Rush and hacksrepairman!! played this game a few months ago and for some reason, i can't remember my team anymore. i remember loving the revamped Kanto experience. well-deserved!

 

[Kirbytone]

I love this Kanto Remake with all my heart. There should be another Rom Hack that is JUST LIKE this one but with an afterstory that takes place in Johto. It's the number one hack that I wish existed. But either way, love Dark Violet, and of there's anything that I demand, it would be hearing the whole OST on YouTube.

 

[Shrey2002]

Is there any documentation/github on moves learned, or a guide for the game's hidden items or things like that ? I couldn't find anything
