FireRed hack: Pokémon Elysium (GBA)

Hello! First of all, thank you for playing!

Second, thank you for sharing your feedback on the game. As a fellow completionist, I understand the frustration of encountering a quest (despite being an optional one) where the progress is blocked, especially after investing so much time. To be honest, this specific sidequest is deliberately designed to be a bit more challenging than the rest. In this point, I wanted to create a mission where a small decision from the past comes back to haunt you. However, your points are valid. Perhaps in one of the next updates I may tweak the dialogue slightly to give the player a hint that this item may be useful later on.

Once again, thank you for playing and I hope you will continue with the game!

Despite my inability to solve certain basic puzzles or have a memory span longer than 15 minutes, I've really enjoyed this hack so far. The less modernized feel is super nostalgic, and I actually enjoy it as it feels rather fresh. I've been purposely using a team of Pokemon that I haven't used before (or as few times as I can remember. I've played a LOT of hacks/fangames and used a lot of mons at least once.) and it's definitely making my experience more enjoyable. Literally the only gripe I've had so far is
Spoiler: Late Part A
But again, other than that one tiny thing, this game has been phenomenal. Thank you

Thank you for your kind words! And real kudos for beating

Despite having releasing it recently, this rom hack is old, I've started making it around 8 years ago and made it public eventually because why not. Updated it with some new stuff recently but it obviously can't be compared with the newer rom hacks with the amazing QoL features. Thanks for playing however.

About your question, you have found two of the hints:

okay, this might be absurd, but I think i've caught wind of a meme in part 3:
Spoiler: chapter 3 location + character spoiler

I really appreciate that this game is shamelessly irreverent with its humor. it makes the experience more fun.

Oh also, this is the first time i've bothered to make an account on this site, even though i'm one of the most avid hack players i know. This is peak pokemon hack>>. i really don't think i've ever enjoyed a romhack this much. i learned new skills with the patching part too. there are some hacks in progress that might compete with the title of favorite, but for now, elysium #1 - AND I'M NOT EVEN FINISHED WITH IT!
 
i just finished it yesterday. honestly one of the best stories i've had the chance to play through... MORE GAME LIKE THIS NEED TO EXIST (hopefully a continuation for this game I NEED IT)
 
Hello! This is my first time on this app and trying something like this but I gotta say I really love the story and the game !! One of the best ones I've played in a long time, I'm not really tech-savvy and I'm only using my phone when playing so now that I'm done with the first part of the game I need to do some patching and saving which I'm not sure what to do on since I am kinda not good at files and stuff. Help pls I still really wanna play the game TT
 
Hello and thanks for playing! I am happy to hear you like it!
You need to patch part B normally to a clean FR rom like you would do for every game and then load the last save state of part A to continue. In many emulators you need to rename the save state so it can be loaded or you could rename the game to the name part A had. It's a bit of a hassle in a phone but it's nothing very complicated. There's a youtube video that explains what you have to do, you can find it with a simple search.
 
I'm actually not used to patching but I think I have the right FR rom! When it came to the saving and renaming I'm slightly confused by how to do that as well TT

Update! I think I've patched the game but I don't know how renaming the file works and I'm not sure where to put it exactly in my folders

I finished the game and enjoyed the rest after letting is sit for a few days, excellent work on it. Shame it doesn't have more of a postgame, but I guess that's harder when you work with 2 files as you can't make one big world with small inaccessible areas for postgame. I hope to see more from you in the future!
 
I wasn't even actually planning on getting this. I just did some resets as a joke. This was like, maybe 60 run-aways.

Hello Kaiser,
Here are some of my thoughts about the game. I had played on 2023 November update so pardon me if any of the issues were resolved

Pros:-
  • The story. The story is absolutely amazing. One of the best I have ever seen on a rom hack. The world building, characters was really really good. Imo it was on par with fangames like Reborn/Rejuvenation
  • Sidequests. The game has to of sidequests and I personally recommend to complete all of them. They give out great rewards, along with a lot of lore.
  • Fakemon. The game has couple of fakemon but they all are wonderfully designed.
  • Restricted usage of items in battle. This was a really fun mechanic imo which made the major battles more fun.
  • The sprites used for towns, characters were really apt too.
Now for some cons, but when you think about the time, the game came about, they make sense.
  • Grinding. The main con of the game was grinding. Speed up key basically doesn't make grinding too bad but nonetheless that problem still exists.
  • Backtracking. There's a bit much of backtracking before getting fly. It was sort of irritating but nothing that bad.
  • Split into 2 parts. Personally this wasn't a problem for me but people have been facing issues patching and playing 2 parts.

My Final Opinion?
If you are looking for a heavy story based game, please give this a try. It won't disappoint you. Hell I would recommend everyone to play this game. Also the creator of the game is super helpful, you can ask them about any difficulties faced in the game.

Thank you Kaiser for the wonderful game, hoping that you make more such games in future (No pressure tho :D)
