o.o i got a bad egg.... somehow... ive also been seeing missingnos in the dragons den... x.x i thought u get bad eggs by hacking x.x ....
Can you tell me the earliest time you remember you didn't have it, what box is it in and what slot?
Can someone please post a link to a already patched 3.1 Rom. I'm having trouble patching and if anyone would do that it would be awesome.
If you REALLY can't patch it yourself using Lunar IPS, then search up my post on the 1337mods.com forums. That is the only link to the Live Beta ROM.
whats the diffrences on the live beta an the offical realease??
Official release is the one which i posted in december 25th. Live Beta is the most recent one available.
As a question, how do we tell if the Live Beta gets updated?
Well, when I fix a bug thats been reported on my site's report system, i'll mark it as fixed. If you are a member you will receive updates via email if you subscribe to it. Although, I made changes last night and didn't update them seeing as it wasn't a reported bug, so sometimes you don't know. Perhaps I should make a blog or something.
To LaZ: Zapdos backsprite is moltres
Haha wow thanks for pointing that out.
Great hack so far. How far does the game go? I realize it goes to the Orange Islands, but how far on them, as in how many gyms?
It goes to the final event with zane on the orange islands. Thats the official end right now.
I can't get past cinnabar island, i talked to axel and he didn't help me. Any help or advice?
Theres a piece of rock that looks different to the rest. Click that too get in.
There is a big bug. It first happened in Victory Rd. But now all over the game everyone has already been beaten. Please fix this.
I added something to the players room. A small box in the corner. Talk to it.
Just a question...
Is the Aerodactyl Puzzle in the Ruins of Alph supposed to be completed?
I went to do it... but it said the puzzle has already been completed..
It should not show as already completed. I couldn't replicate the bug though.
I want to catch one early though. And they do not show up in Union Cave.
entrance floor- Nothing shows up
Room where you find swift- Geodude, Rattata, Zubat, Spinarak
Wooper isn't in Union cave,
It seems to be a bug that no pokemon are on the top floor, something I can't reproduce either. I have a feeling i know the cause though...
Go to the same place where you found the Ruby and if you use the walkthrough walls cheat, you will find Groudon glitched inside a wall. Talk to him and he will eat your Ruby and you will battle him.
Watch this video because I found one of the BIGGEST BUGS ever!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySq4nDjW7Rg
Groudon is a bit different this time, he isn't supposed to be where he was in the old Beta. Same goes for most other legendaries.
Hey! I was just wondering, is this supposed to be like this?
![]()
And also, if you put the red item where it needs to be, is Moltres automatically supposed to be there? Because when I get there its an empty room.
No, thats a small bug. And yes you will know soon if you carry on playing.
Is it the purpose of Live Beta is to patch over a ROM that already patched with Official Release or a Clean FR ROM?
Well, I really could not understand the explanation of LaZ. I found some comments here said so. Can anyone clarify it?
You download the latest Live Beta IPS from the first post link and then you proceed to patch it to a clean FR ROM.
i´m stuck in valenecia island, i can´t go to palet town because the train says left 10 minutes to go,but is past an hour :(
Turn on the RTC, or download my emulator pack in the first post.
I believe Thundersones were sold in Blackthorne's Pokemon Center iirc.
Also I'm curious if anyone else had a crash in Union Cave going to where Lapras is. I started walking south through the cave and it pops up found Master Ball then the screen dumps a message Qaf Qaf Qaf and freezes.
Also is there a version with the Elite 4 fixed as I had to use the walkthrough walls code to get through to Will.
Off hand I know there are Moonstones in the Dark Cave and Tohjo Falls. Not sure if it's in, but maybe there will be the Moonstone event in Mt Moon.
Well Kanto now awaits.
Seems to be a messed up script on the way there. If its reported i'll fix it.
You will also notice that the second villian team has the name SATURN now . in the previous 2.1 beta it was STATIC... i think LaZ has changed the word Static into SATURN in this beta
Yes thats exactly what i did lol
And one more thing. I think that I am not first person to write this, but in the Cave of Wisdom game always freeze when I beat lvl. 32 Dodrio (despite writing on the statue "lvl. 52 Nidoking, or lvl. 55 Lanturn - it is always different). Is it the end of this beta? Or is it possible to do this little quest and bring that Solar Rock to manager of teleport room?
Cave of Wisdom is an unfinished event, which I forgot to stop from being accessed.
I dont know if somebody already said it, but if u use teleport with abra. it will teleport you to Kanto.
Also i find the weather very annoying, its changing all the time...
I'm sorry to inform that it is indeed a bug with teleport.
I have found the Glitchtree in the Ilex forest. It's beautiful.

Nice thanks.
It'd be nice if there was a prompt or news post for the live beta, Even just a note of its most recent update.
Well there is the updates in the report system on my site, but perhaps i should as said above make some sort of blog. That does make things a little pointless though I do have a plan to get something done, a simple page to state when it was last updated.
Umm... I didn't put anything in the Daycare... What the heck is a / 36?

Thats a bug probably caused by farfetch'd. I'll look into it.
Wow, this is the greatest hack I have ever seen!!!! I started a new game, but unfortunately it gets stuck at the first encounter with the rival, just after I've returned from mr. Pokemon. I'll send you my savegame. Let me know if it gets stuck in your game as well... I really love this game!!!! And the music!!!! OMG this is the best hack ever!!!!
That bug seems to happen when you use cheats.
How do you catch the Legendary Birds...? (Actually I've figured it out now...)
But a bug: I only had the Blue Flute with me while I discovered the place, so I went back to get the Red Flute in my PC, but when I returned to the island... the pedestals were gone :(
and I don't seem to have the Yellow Flute. Anyone know where it is?
I can't find the Sapphire either... and how do you catch Kyogre and Rayquaza?
...and am I the only one that can't find the Undersea Express? I got the Sea Pass and everything, and I went to Route 27... but can't find it anywhere!! (I've searched the thread, and apparently you don't need Dive... so I searched through the surface with no luck..)
Oh, and a bug report. In the Goldenrod Game Corner, when I chose to obtain TM38, it gave me TM39...
Spent a LOT of money for a Swift TM... :( xD
Undersea express is on Route 100. You have a world map card for a reason :)
I've had no internet, so no chance to download any new releases. Sorry if any of these have already been reported.
Spoiler:![]()
Looks more like an RSE overworld. Maybe lower the eyes a little?
I think its a good OW. I don't see anyone else complaining.

The sprite. Dear god the sprite. Most of the revamps I've seen (other than the male Rocket Grunt, which is amazing) look really bad, some even lacking black outlining. Mind if I have a go at fixing them?
If you can show me "most of" the other sprites, perhaps we can take this discussion further. As far as i know theres perhaps a few sprites off. Being vauge about the other sprites isn't helpful at all.

I said yes.
Play Crystal

I never found anything in here after ten minutes of searching.
Seems to be a bug with not encountering anything there, for an unknown reason.

I don't have a Wailmer Pail.
Good find..

The stairs look bad.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. It was really helpful.

Welcome to gen 3.

That's a Spearow.

Looks more blue than "WHT".
Sprite icons haven't been changed.

GB tiles in a GBA hack = bad. I was sure this was supposed to be a remake, not a recolour. Also this would've been better as a double battle.
I think they look reasonably acceptable.

Tile error.
Half and half...

Okay this was just cruel. I'm playing a nuzlocke, so to battle one really hard trainer then this guy comes along? Let's just say I lost half my team. The game is far too difficult, honestly the current difficulty would be better as a hard mode.
It's a surprise.

I named him Silver.
Was reported already.

Look at the guy at the bottom. This happens in every mart.
It's actually a FR engine bug, but thanks it would be nice to have it fixed.
![]()
No. Just no, I mean it doesn't even look like a Butterfree.
It doesn't, eventually new pokemon OWs will be added.
![]()
Just like this doesn't look like Goldenrod. Imo Goldenroad was the best city in the games. You completely destroyed that, it is far too different now.
I wouldn't agree, i love the new map. Its different yea but not as different as the HG/SS one.

You changed TMs? Nice! Shame you never changed the learnable TMs for Pokémon, so now Noctowl can learn Ice Punch.
It's 99.9% compatibility for the TMs. You found one.

What is this a stretched tardis?
Stretched tardis, I don't see anything like that. Just the Radio Tower.

Don't make no sense.
It was a translation from Japanese, but I can understand it fine.

Team Rocket theme music in here.
Yes..

I don't hve a phone so I doubt that.
You're in for a big surprise later then xD

Nice costume, Persian.
Tile errors, tile errors everywhere.
I don't see any tile errors

*its.

*Yeah.
Right.

Can't plant berries on this side of the soil.

Forgot to screenshot but during the Team Saturn event Elm is a normal scientist over world.
I can confirm thats true.

The cursor goes over the text.
Dont understand that at all.

This goes fr most of the backgrounds. It honestly looks like you tried to insert them, failed, and never bothered to fix them. They look seriously horrendous.
I can confirm that the sand, indoors and indoor water have incorrect palettes. Theres no problems with any others.
![]()
...Did you actually attempt to revamp this at all? (Also her ***** of a sister wiped my team so now I have to rebuild, meaning I haven't played any further than the next shot).
Perhaps a new one will be done at some point.
![]()
Self-explanatory.
Nothing wrong with that.
Replies in bold.
I love how half of this forum has got to be people reporting the Elite Four glitch. It'll be answered again... and again... and again... until people finally start reading the thread before posting.
Honestly, they could pick virtually any recent page and find the answer.
I second that xD
This took me a while to understand. Anyway, I'm going to reply to you with this link here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism#Constructive_criticism
Also, it's not a case of "mini sprite of a pokemon dont looks like that?," it is a case of common sense. Pidgeot is not a Butterfree. And no I don't want good graphics but I don't want bad graphics either, and bad graphics is infinitely worse than okay graphics.
I dint really find much of it that constructive, mostly destructive.
Can you please
(spoiler alert)
Spoiler:remove that all trainers have any potion its so annoying and that made me ragequit the game, rather stronger pokemon...
dont delete this time mod
It adds to the difficulty level. Removing them makes the game also last shorter time and is more easy.
why can't i get solar rock in cave of wisdom :( please fix this , because if you fight the statue , then dodrio appear if you beat it the music goes on but your character stop and can't move :/
Unfinished event sadly..
Some minor bugs I found:
Spoiler:1. The Fire Stone dealer northeast of Violet City is bugged, when you press A on him, it acts like you pressed A twice and goes straight into the menu showing the Fire Stone item.
2. This headbutt tree on the island south of Cherrygrove is not solid:
http: //i.imgur.com/mI8hs.png
3. This flower tile (to the left of the player) is solid.
http: //i.imgur.com/DWEpJ.png
4. I have not beaten the Pokemon League yet, so the Hall of Fame option shouldn't be there yet:
http: //i.imgur.com/s4YNl.png
5. Monica of Monday keeps walking while you talk to her:
http: //i.imgur.com/vV7Ct.png
6. When giving Jasmine the Secretpotion, the healing sound doesn't interrupt the area's music.
7. The Red Gyarados has a bad palette:
http: //i.imgur.com/dMixl.png
8. Pressing A here does nothing, no dialog:
http: //i.imgur.com/8r8DH.png
9. The Rocket Executive in the Mahogany rocket hideout has a Koffing that knows Quick Attack, which it can't learn.
Thanks for these.
One ridiculous thing which is TOTAL stupidity on my part is:

It took me a good half an hour to an hour to figure out where to go to get to Valencia Island. Just thought I'd make a few people laugh XDDD
I'm so dim sometimes.
Haha well its not that obvious, but still lol.
BUGGGGGG!!!!!!!
Hey man This is so annoying. WTF is up with the respawning cut trees. I can't bring Ratattata with me all the time :(
and exp issue is still there, I have no prbs levelling up 5 times each fight :P
They respawn like that in the original and other games.
Sorry to bother again, but i might have ran into another bug, as apparently lance is supposed to give you Whirlpool after you beat team rocket, i have beaten team rocket and am now at the final gym and can't find the HM for whirlpool
You can buy it from goldenrod, but he still should of given it.
Where exactly can you download the live beta? The one in link's first post is still dated as Dec 25th.
Similar to a post, you can't change the date when you post it. I do believe they remove the old ips and replace it with the new one, so I'm pretty sure that the ips there is the latest one.
The post on the first post is a link, it never changes I simply make changes on my end and it will update the link automagically.
so can you get to 2nd badge of valencia island ?? plsss reply
Only 1 badge there.
If I can suggest an idea for a later Beta: I think it would be nice to include a battle or a side quest with the former Elite Four members (Agatha and Lorelei) at some point in the game. I think it'd be interesting, but of course it's just my own opinion :)
Anyway, keep up the good work ! I like this hack A LOT ^^
I like that idea too, who knows what the future has in store!
In the Blackthorn gym, one of Clair's Dragonairs has Hyper Fang. Isn't it supposed to be Hyper Beam?
I see, thats probably true it should probably be hyper beam.
Hey everyone! This is my 2nd post here. I've found Pokemon LC only recently and now it's my favorite GBA game! Sadly, I've found a few bugs (I am using the live beta btw) and I'd like to notify you guys. I had posted most of these in thepkmnworld as a guest, but this place seems much more active. So here goes-
1. Teleport's field effect is completely glitched, giving access to Kanto way too early.
2. A lot of shops, marts and other places where you can buy items are glitched and show ????... as the only items for sale.
3. The Pokedex only shows pokemon locations using the Kanto map. This makes catching Entei and Raikou a chore, even if you've spotted them once.
4. After finding the Saturn base near dragon's den and fighting Lati@s, you can exit Dragon's den using Dig, and then reenter THROUGH Axel's sprite!
5. Berry trees often go haywire! Fully grown berries sometimes become "still growing". And also there's one berry tree just between the union cave exit and Azelea which you can water even before you get the wailmer pail!
6. A lady in the Goldenrod game corner says " wouldn't stop..." something like that. It starts with a space and then a lowercase w.
7. Tiles sometimes disappear and change into black. I've had this happen in new island. It also happened with Clair's (8th gymleader) OW sprite.
8. A guy in the Saturn hideout below (?) Dragon's den says something like "If... then..." which is grammatically incorrect.
9. The place from where you get warped to new island, well, the path to go there is kinda weird I think, you just go on top of a hill from plainland just by walking!
10. The whirlpool tile in dragon's den looks kinda strange after it has been cleared.
11. In the black and white replay you get after reloading a saved file, Prof. Elm's lab is called Prof. Oak's lab.
12. You can skip spotting Suicune in northern Cianwood. You can still fight Suicune at Tin Tower without doing this. You can even spot it after catching Suicune in Tin Tower. This makes one feel like there're more than one Suicune.
13. Status moves are shown as Physical moves in the summary screen (not that it's that much of a big deal).
14. In new island there's one place where you go up a ladder but the ladder is nowhere to be found in the upper floor. It's a few screens before getting the clear bell.
15. After I battled my rival near the victory road exiti, I went left and fell down the hole to get the Earthquake TM. After that when I took the ladder up and tried to get to the exit my rival's sprite was there blocking the way. Pressing A while facing his sprite crashed the game.
16. Belly Drum's compatibility seems a little funny. I guess it's up to you who can learn it since it has never been a TM or tutor move. But still it should stay in flavor.
Well, that sure was a lot of gloom and doom for one post. Hope these get fixed soon.
Also, here are some suggestions that might help improve LC. These are mostly minor and trivial things so you're free to ignore them if you want.
1. The Thunderpunch TM in Goldenrod Game Corner being available for 6000 coins seems a bit useless considering the same TM is available for $3000 in the same city. It should be substituted with something else, Earthquake or Double Team maybe?
2. I suggest making Dive a TM and Whirlpool an HM. Usually HMs require badges to be used outside battles, while TMs do not. But in LC, the TM whirlpool requires a gym badge to be used outside (unlike Dig or Sweet Scent) while HM Dive doesn't require a gym badge (unlike all other HMs). Making Whirlpool an HM and Dive a TM would keep the pattern set by the other games intact.
3. IMO Dragon Claw is too powerful to be available for free in Goldenrod.
4. The Mineralbadge (the one given by Jasmine of Olivine) let's you use Rock Smash outside battle. I think it would be better if specifically Jasmine mentions this after she's beaten.
Thanks for these.
are there pokemon in union cave yet...i only care bcuz this was the only place to find a wild mudkip and there are no pokemon on the ground floor...
Also this has been a small problem which ive never seen someone bring up...going north of goldenrod theres a guy in the building that gives you a spearow to deliver to his friend (a fat guy buy a tree on like route 44 or sumthin) problem is he wont accept the pokemon for some reason...
Yes he will never take the pokemon from you, not yet anyway.
Well that was a long post. A small update with the Split as Jambo51 posted it should be fixed. Same with the League it should be fixed now too. Also for all people who can no longer battle trainers I added something to the players room. A box in the bottom right corner.
All bugs regarding the EXP system are being looked into currently.
One note: Every bug that gets reported on my site will be fixed and marked as fixed, if its reported. Thats a 100% fact. Thanks to everyone who has reported over there and I'll get onto them soon. Keep reporting there in the mean time :)
