FireRed hack: Pokémon Gaia Version

  • Hi Sphice! I probably will never compliment enough for how amazing this hack is coming along, but today that's not what I'm here for.
    How on earth am I supposed to find a feebas? I've been surfing that river for hours and after encountering a few shellos, one goldeen and more poliwags than I can count, I realised that maybe I have to fish. But with my good rod I only seem to find magikarp. Do I need to get a better rod or I just can't find it because of the insanely low encounter rate?
    Thank you. That is indeed a result of the rod you're using; however, I completely forgot that I didn't include the Super Rod, so if you redownload you can find it by battling a new Fisherman in a house in Sabulo Island. Feebas will still be very rare, though.

    False Swipe kills in the latest update.
    Haha that's annoying, my bad. Please redownload, it should be fixed now.

    how do u mega evolve which button do i press
    When the Mega Evolution symbol appears, press the Start button and then select a move to use.

    so you let the wish animation or arrange it, and there are still errors of the code of the mega evolution?
    I'm not sure what you're saying here, but yes the Wish animation does still bug occasionally and that is one of the bugs caused by the Mega Evolution code.

    Isnt there dive in beta 2.

    Also, I found absolite
    Spoiler: Absolite location
    It can be found in the Hidden Grotto in the Precimous Island.
    Please read the FAQ on the first post in future before asking questions, as your question is already there. Dive is not in v2.5, no.

    Well I just played through the beta and it was lots of fun! Might actually do another playthrough now that I know what I'm expecting and what's available.
    Here's a picture of my team. Big pic so I put in spoiler.
    Spoiler:


    Now for some feedback/suggestions/etc.

    - I searched every corner of the map I could think of to find an Eviolite for my Scyther, is there one in-game or in the current beta?

    - Space issue. We pick up lots of items and the bag and PC storage fills up very quickly. Can either the bag and or PC space be expanded? If not I think a case for the mega stones could help with the space issue.

    - Will there be a way to get a Pokemon's hidden ability? I think it'd be neat to have but definitely not necessary.

    - The casino rewards seems to be missing something. It just has Pokemon for prizes, Would be cool if we had a few TMs as well.
    Nice team, glad to see you had fun playing.

    Eviolite is not currently available, no. When it is, though, it will be on offer at the Battle Marsh for sure.

    I don't plan to expand the bag space, all I can suggest is that you regularly keep on top of your inventory and sell items you may not need or store them in your PC's item storage. A case for Mega Stones wouldn't really help much as it would still be using the same RAM space, and while I could do the hack that uses the RAM prevously used by the help system, that would have the side effect of forcing all saves to be restarted, which I'd rather avoid.

    Some Pokémon have their Hidden Abilities, but there's not much rhyme or reason to which ones get them. I don't know at the moment, but I may go through at some point and replace the less useful abilities with Hidden versions instead.

    The Game Corner's prizes are no more or less varied than they are in FireRed, but I won't rule out adding extra prizes in the future. That being said, the fact that there are only 50 TMs means that I likely will keep most of them for other purposes.

    - Is there only one Blue shard move tutor?
    - Feebas is ridiculously hard to find :(
    - Is Cryagonal on every level of Frostbite cave?
    - Has the location of super rod changed from the Windmist slowpoke dude?
    - My Ivysaur knows crap moves. No way of making it remember leach seed? :D

    Was also hoping sneaky Scraggy would learn rock climb at 45... it learned take down!
    My gotta catch'em all mission is not going too well.
    As of v2.5, there is only one Shard Tutor, yes, the Blue Shard Tutor.

    Cryogonal is only available on the floor that has all the stairs, Rock Smash rocks and Strength boulders. The floor has no NPCs.

    You can read up for information on the issue with Feebas and the Super Rod.

    The Move Relearner will be added in v3.

    Interesting tid-bit... 101 straight battle tower wins gives one 664 battle points! And... buying in bulk from the counter in front causes the game (or specifically the bag when you try and scroll down) to hang. I bought 5 ability pills + 5 life orbs + 4 choice bands + 1 choice spec and it happened.

    Tested it on a few different things and it glitches out on choice specs (even when the guy outside gives choice specs). Ability pill works but doesn't do hidden abilities it seems (and doesn't do gluttony/pickup change for Linoone).
    I can't recreate any issue with the Choice Specs.

    The Ability Pill will have no effect on Pokémon with only one ability, and as Linoone does not have Gluttony in Gaia, it won't change its ability.

    I need help in wisp forest!!
    Thanks in advance!!
    Could you be more specific? What exactly has happened?

    is this complete game?
    Gaia currently only has six Gyms worth of progress, so no it is not a completed game yet.

    Hey Spherical Ice! Great looking hack! Would i be able to battle/trade via vbalink with someone else on this game? If anyone can answer this as well, it'd be much appreciated.
    Thank you, but please read the FAQ on the first post before asking questions: the question about multiplayer capabilities has been asked multiple times, and the answer is no, for now.

    this looks great any idea when the game will be finished
    Again, please read the FAQ before asking questions. I have no idea myself when this will be completed.

    Dont know if this a is a bug or not but every time i go to the last floor of the telmurk ruins, random leveled sunfloras pop up even if i am using a repel.

    You're likely playing an outdated version, please redownload.

    I've been loving this hack so far, but I did find one bug that happens, likely because I'm the only person to have done this yet:
    I really love mega pinsir, so I'm breeding a pinsir with close combat, good ivs, and potentially quick attack so I can use the pinsirite I got from the bug catching contest. However, for some reason when I breed pinsir, most all of my pinsir are hatched as mega pinsir. Not only that, but they don't have close combat either. At first I thought it might be reasonable that you didn't update the egg moves of pokemon to mirror gen VI yet, but then somehow I hatched 2 pinsir who were normal with close combat and even rock tomb (both of which the heracross I used had). Now, as much as I try, I cannot hatch pinsir that are normal. Well, actually, if I go into a battle while they are still eggs or already hatched, they hatch as normal pinsir or change back to normal pinsir but still lack the egg moves my parent heracross knows. Hatching mega pokemon from eggs is weird enough, but I'd be fine with it if I could get the eggmoves. I love this hack and would appreciate it so much if you could look into this.
    Thank you, I've fixed this bug if you redownload.

    I need help!
    I'm blocked in 5th gym, I can't escape from gym
    and I can't go to fight with leader https://imgur.com/a/4N6Zl . Please check it :( www.dropbox.com/s/q5am50p7lhwkdkb/Pokemon Fire Red (U)(Squirrels) gaia.sav?dl=0
    Hm, I'm unsure as to how this happened but I've made some changes that hopefully will prevent it from re-occurring. Either way, I'd recommend just using Pokey_Man's fixed save, saving in the Telmurk City Pokémon Center, and then redownloading.

    Please redownload. Make sure you have saved in a Pokémon Center, however.

    Hey Spice...

    Found the Cryogonal already. Thanks... still haven't found Feebas :(

    Also, Aggronite's the only mega stone still left. Where is it?

    Hope you had great holidays.

    Been awhile since I've played, and I forgot to ask about this problem, late in the game (or where it leaves off) I cross some ocean to move on, and within that ocean are some dive spots and a cave, in the cave there's a lady that says go to your side for a battle, it's like a lil arena, after go to my side screen goes black, I can go back and look for it if you need me to

    Hey, I love the hack. Downloaded it 10 hours ago. Ran into a small problem though. After clearing the museum, Herschel asks if I'm ready to go to the cave. When I say yes, I get transported to the cave and the game freezes. I'm playing on beta 2.5

    You'll definitely need to use the Super Rod to find Feebas, if you're not already.

    Spoiler: Location of Aggronite
    It's in Nemesis Cave. It wasn't there originally in v2.5 but I added it somewhat recently

    I'm going to have to assume you used some sort of cheat to even access that cave considering it's blocked by impassable tiles in every direction. Either way, you just went into the map at 0.0, as the warp had nothing set. tl;dr, you weren't supposed to be able to get to that cave.

    Oh, sorry about that.

    Please redownload and go with Herschel again and it shouldn't freeze.

  • Hey Spherical Ice, Talonflame's sprite in the Pokemon menu is glitching, and for some reason, the sounds (when you interact with something, when you open the menu, etc.) are a lot quieter than the music.

  • I just re-downloaded the new patch awhile ago and started from scratch and I found a bug, nothing big but when you reach Seros village there's a dialogue with the Professor and the dialogue was full of random letters, I was just speeding through the game so I completely forgot to screenshot it. haha :3

    Edit 1: Btw, how do you know what size your pumpkaboo/gourgeist is?

    Edit 2: So I just fetched Herschel and this happened:
    Spoiler:


    Edit 3: I just used Surf in a double battle, it just hit the Pokemon it's facing and attacked twice in the same turn for some weird reason. I was battling the twins at Aerous valley.

    I'm using the Pokemon FireRed from Emuparadise but its 1636, I've been searching for a 1635 and I cannot for the life of me find one. And also it worked fine before the new patch. So I don't know what's the problem. :/

    Edit 4: I used another Squirrels dump but I don't know what version it is and it still freezes the game. And I loaded my save file on an older version of Gaia and it didn't freeze so I'm suspecting it's with the new patch.

    Edit 5: Endure doesn't reduce the HP Bar, I don't know if it does reduce the HP since it's always a 1HKO, all I know is the HP Bar is still full after I used an attack. It happened twice with a Riolu in the Archan Tunnel and it happened again with a Meditite in Nestpine Climb.

    Edit 6: The game froze again:
    Spoiler:


    Edit 7: Most of the trainers in the Battle Marsh uses two snivys and most of them uses repititive pokemon.

    Edit 8: None of the Telmurk Gym's button work, i tried stepping on the button and pressing "A", nothing works. Reloaded on an older version, worked fine again.

    Edit 9: Why can't Linoone learn Rock Climb through TM when it can through breeding?

  • So because this hack is awesome I did something crazy. I bred over 150 Spheal and picked the most suited one for Spherical Ice. After that I bought 99 rare candy from the Battle marsh (I had over 9000 points) and got the Spheal to level 100.

    Sorry, but where is it? I've somehow missed it, it seems.

    Edit: Still can't find Aggronite in the new release and can't fly now either. Also the bug the the coach that wizard.gbc pointed out above happened with me as well, so I just avoided him.

    The choice specs glitch either causes the screen to go black or this:

    Only really happened with the choice specs in the bag.

    I found a bug(don't know if it is) in this update. For some unknown reason, I cannot use Fly outside of battle even though I have that gym badge for it. I forgot which gym badge does grant access to Fly outside of battle.

    Ah, hello. Big fan so far, it's exceptional, but I seem to have encountered a bug with in the Frostbite Caverns. I have uploaded an image - imgur.com/6hEseK1 - here. I am stuck in the position which can be seen in the image. I am unable to move, open the menu, or generally interact with anything. I would be grateful for any help possible. Thank you.

    Aha! There on 'Edit 6'! You seem to have encountered, and dealt with, the problem I am currently facing. Would you mind detailing exactly how you overcame it? Thank you very much.

    I also encountered the glitched text at Seros, as well as what you described to happen when an enemy uses Endure.

    I've fixed the Talonflame icon, thanks. I don't really hear any problems with the sound effects, though.

    I found a bug with this coach, battle when the screen turns black.

    I can't recreate this.

    how do you patch
    Download a 1635 FireRed ROM. Download the patch and extract it. Using tsukuyomi, apply the .UPS patch to the .GBA ROM. Load this ROM with VBA-M.

    I just re-downloaded the new patch awhile ago and started from scratch and I found a bug, nothing big but when you reach Seros village there's a dialogue with the Professor and the dialogue was full of random letters, I was just speeding through the game so I completely forgot to screenshot it. haha :3

    All fixed, thank you! Please redownload.

    Edit 1: Btw, how do you know what size your pumpkaboo/gourgeist is?
    You can do this by checking the Pokédex habitat page that has Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist and compare the sprites; they are in size order.

    Edit 3: I just used Surf in a double battle, it just hit the Pokemon it's facing and attacked twice in the same turn for some weird reason. I was battling the twins at Aerous valley.
    I'm not sure what is causing this; I've made a note of it in the README file now, thank you.

    Edit 7: Most of the trainers in the Battle Marsh uses two snivys and most of them uses repititive pokemon.
    I can't recreate this, but I'd try redownloading and see if it fixes itself anyway.

    So because this hack is awesome I did something crazy.
    Hahahaha this is really amazing. Glad to see you're having so much fun!

    Ended it! Quite easy but entertaining.
    Thanks! Eventually I plan to release a difficulty patch, once the main version is complete.

    Sorry, but where is it? I've somehow missed it, it seems.

    Only really happened with the choice specs in the bag.
    I've fixed the Flying bug, and I've changed the item flag for Aggronite as I realised it was unavailable for some save files; this does mean some people will be able to pick it up twice, but oh well. I still have no idea what "bug the the coach" means and I can't see anything wrong with the Mighty Mightyena Trainer in wizard.gbc's screenshot so I'm afraid you're going to need to be more specific with what exactly the bug is.

    I still can't recreate the Choice Specs bug either, but I guess just try redownloading? It isn't happening for me at all.

    I found a bug(don't know if it is) in this update. For some unknown reason, I cannot use Fly outside of battle even though I have that gym badge for it. I forgot which gym badge does grant access to Fly outside of battle.

    Thanks, please redownload to fix that. You'll need to revert to whichever save file you have prior to that event and work your way back, though, I'm afraid.

    Apologies for all of the sudden bugs! Please redownload to fix a majority of them.

    Choice specs isn't that big an issue really... and it seems it's only happening to me so there must be something amiss on my end.

    The Mightyena guy causes the screen to go black and get stuck there... but I didn't screenshot it so can't really show that.

    I'll look for Aggronite and let you know... and from reading the previous pages it seems the super rod isn't currently in the hack. I suppose that's why I can't seem to find Staryu, Feebas etc?

    Edit: Found the Aggronite and can fly again. Thanks.
