Notes from the Creator:

Spoiler:

Please don't reveal the locations of any one off Pokémon such as legendaries or starters, I'd like to keep it as a nice surprise for players :) Of course, if I'm asked, I'll give clues to their locations but I shall never say exactly ;)

Just a few questions:

Do you intend on adding Special/Physical split? (Or is it already in?)
Do you intend on adding 4th gen Evo's?
Do you intend on adding fairy type?
Are the trainers and Aqua/Magma members pokemon the same level?
When you say "All items" do you mean all items up to gen 3 are in it or are all items from gens 1-6 in? (I would assume from 1-3)

I would say I like this 386 hack but it doesn't seem to have much in it to make me steer away from other 386 hacks, Emerald Omega gives you an insane difficult challenge, Sigma Emerald gives you classic Emerald with Spec/Phys split, updated abilities and a nicer set of sprites. I just feel that doing a 386 hack today would mean you have to be able to top the top hacks and this doesn't do it for me at the moment.

I am planning on adding that in the next beta (to be honest, I completely forgot about that {XD})

Do you intend on adding 4th gen Evo's?

No, this is a 386 hack and I intend to keep it that way

Do you intend on adding fairy type?

Everyone else has seemed to jump on the FAIRY type bang wagon, I didn't feel it was necessary for this hack.

Are the trainers and Aqua/Magma members pokemon the same level?

At the moment, yes. But I am planning to do a lot of work on changing the trainer Pokemon, and once that is done, I will probably increase these levels to higher ones, and am thinking of 3 alternate downloads, easy, medium, and hard, to give the player a choice.

When you say "All items" do you mean all items up to gen 3 are in it or are all items from gens 1-6 in? (I would assume from 1-3)

Yes, I mean from gens 1-3, i should've made that clearer :)

I appreciate feedback such as this, and will try to alter my hack accordingly. But as far as adding new moves and abilities goes, I don't feel I am capable as of now. These may get added at a later date, but they aren't a priority. New sprites is something I am definitely going to add, but not to all Pokemon, just those that I feel need them. And yes, I totally agree that it needs something to make it stand out, and that's something I'll work on

Q pal, Are the EV Reduction berries can buy in some markets or somethin? it'll be cool.

Most of the berries are found on plants. Some are given to the player by npcs, others can be found held by gift Pokemon. The ev ones are mostly given to the player. Making them buyable would be a bit op :)

not really much adding or replacing, the TM marts in lilycove have been replaced, and the mauville game corner prizes have been changed too. there's also a lottery in the battle frontier where you can win awesome prizes :pink_boogie: and thanks for the nice comments :)

Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing 2 versions with different difficulty, one being like Nintendo does with their releases and goes for casual which I think is what Nintendo does with normal releases and a version with a difficulty spike.

Though I will go with the easiest version myself, because I get aggravated way to easy.

that's definitely something i'll do. once i've finished 1.2 (which may come out in a week or more depending on how much time i have), i'll start working on the 2 harder versions, that means there will be the normal nintendo release (easy), one with slightly increased levels (medium), and one with greatly increase levels (hard), that way people have more of a choice and hopefully finish the game feeling good about it rather than rage quitting the game despite liking it's features (something i have done many, many times :))

What features do you have planned for beta 1.2 if I may ask? So I can make my decision on when I download the patch for the game.

for definite, it's altering trainers pokemon (this may not sound like a lot, but it takes a really, really long time, there's over 800 trainers {D:}). there also may be some alterations to wild pokemon locations, as i'm still not 100% happy with them. and i may alter how to get certain items (this is more a floating thought rather than a definite will do)

 

[Raiimeister]

I started playing your game yesterday 'cause it met the feature i like (PS Split W/ Icon) although Decapitalization isn't in, i just use a certain patch. suggested features: you have a doubt on implementing B/W repel system right? i think it'll be cool too :) and next one should be increase chance of wild battle on shinies. i know! we chat about this xD but still hoping :D

wow! thats great :) about a lottery, is that a everyday u visited ??

 

[looneyman1]

Kinda odd for this game to not have the logical newer 4th gen pokemon like Budew, roserade, magmorter, electivire, rhyperior and others, but thats your call.

To be honest, i hate the decapitalization, for me it just looks ugly, probably cuz i'm so used to the normal text. i have a doubt about the bw repel system, cuz from the thread i've seen, it's only a ratchet solution so i'm waiting for a better one. if a tool comes along that increases the chance of wild shinies (but not trainer ones) i may consider it :)

You can use it as many times a day as you like, however it costs 10 battle points, and like every lottery you're not always gonna get a prize :)

Well i always wanted this to be a 386 hack, and to be honest i'm not skilled enough to add future pokemon, cuz that means loads of sprites, second frames for those sprites, movesets, evolutions, cries. It's a lot of work. of course i may do this for future hacks, but for now i'm happy with 386 :)

Yeah as I said its your call there. Besides its not like you can't alter base stats to make some of those pokemon more viable and change abilities to make said pokemon work better too. Like Roselia with base 80 speed like roserade. It'll add extra challenge when facing those pokemon too so it'll be like having those pokemon without having them at all.

if i changed the base stats and abilies. then they wouldn't really be the same pokemon any more, and to be honest i like the pokemon how they are :)
