Emerald hack: Pokémon Scorched Silver v1.3 [Complete]

[Plus-Sized Scribe]

I'm actually doing another run right now to test the wild poke levels, and I don't know if my team just sucks this time or what, but I could not beat Alicia.
This is what I have at the moment, still challenging, but nowhere as bad as it was:
(Also, had gal ponyta in place of azumarill at first, but realized it's pure psychic, so haven't tested with azumarill yet)
{
.iv = 130,
.lvl = 18,
.species = SPECIES_AZUMARILL,
.heldItem = ITEM_KINGS_ROCK,
.abilityNums = 1,
.moves = {MOVE_AQUA_JET, MOVE_ROLLOUT, MOVE_DRAINING_KISS, MOVE_ICE_PUNCH}
},
{
.iv = 150,
.lvl = 19,
.species = SPECIES_MIMIKYU,
.heldItem = ITEM_SITRUS_BERRY,
.abilityNums = 0,
.moves = {MOVE_SHADOW_SNEAK, MOVE_DRAINING_KISS, MOVE_BABY_DOLL_EYES, MOVE_ASTONISH}
},
{
.iv = 170,
.lvl = 19,
.species = SPECIES_MAWILE,
.heldItem = ITEM_BRIGHT_POWDER,
.abilityNums = 0,
.moves = {MOVE_SUCKER_PUNCH, MOVE_THUNDER_PUNCH, MOVE_DRAINING_KISS, MOVE_KNOCK_OFF}
},
{
.iv = 190,
.lvl = 20,
.species = SPECIES_SYLVEON,
.heldItem = ITEM_LEFTOVERS,
.abilityNums = 0,
.moves = {MOVE_DRAINING_KISS, MOVE_BABY_DOLL_EYES, MOVE_QUICK_ATTACK, MOVE_STORED_POWER}
}

I think removing Mr. Mime also helps, yeah. I ended up just spamming Smokescreen and Leer with my Quilava get through it and and let my Aron slam Sylveon in the end.

In my case with Alicia I not only had to overlevel a bit but I had to keep my Linoone stading to go after Sylveon and Mr. Mime. Sylveons ridiculous bulk made Headbutt near useless however, and Mawile having Thunderpunch was something I couldn't risk my Fletchinder tangling with.

Definitely helps, hopefully she's not too easy now lol.

Although Mawile still has thunderpunch, the gym should be a little easier to deal with now that I just released 1.2

Hi sloo, fantastic game so far, really enjoying it and the challenge. I don't think the first 2 gyms were too bad, and once the grinding is more reasonable, it'll just be a matter of over leveling.

One question. Where can I get a hisuian growlithe? Hisuian Arcanine is on the sheet, but says you get it from evolving the growlithe, but right now only the normal growlithe is on there. Thanks!

Just released 1.2 😁
Hisuian Growlithe is in the same locations as normal Growlithe, Route 36 and 37.

Intro
Hey, it's been a while. I'm sure nobody expected to see me again.
In my typical fashion, I've kept the development of this game well hidden. Nevertheless, this is a complete game with 8 badges, and plenty of post game content. This is not a remake of Gold and Silver, but a sequel with an entirely new story.
Fair warning – The gym leaders use items and some setup moves making this game moderately difficult, but not impossible. If you defeat all available trainers before each gym, and use a little strategy, you should be fine.

Hope you all enjoy it!

Discover a wide variety of pokémon and a brand new storyline, as your path becomes intertwined with a mysterious group calling themselves Team Phoenix, who seem hell-bent on capturing Celebi for some nefarious scheme.

Bugs
- Game freezes after falling down with Oliver in the Ruins of Alph: Fixed in v1.1 patch
- Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Voltorb currently don't evolve. Fixed in v1.1 patch
- Galarian Weezing (maybe others too?) seems to break double battles a little (the sprites will flip around some, not game breaking, but looks funny)
- Mega evolution symbol will stay on screen after the mega pokémon has fainted sometimes. Goes away after battle, or if you view your other pokémon
- In the multi double battles, if all of your teammate's pokémon faint, it may not let you switch

Download
Current version attached below as a zipped UPS patch. Apply to a clean Pokémon Emerald rom, Emerald (U) (TrashMan) using NUPS patcher preferably.

- Raises wild pokémon levels for easier grinding and team building
- Nerfed 2nd gym leader some
- Add macho brace

v1.1 patch

Spoiler:

- Fixes Oliver battle glitch
- Gives Hisuian Voltorb and Zorua evolutions
- Makes fossils key items
- A couple of tile fixes.

Finally got back to where I was! Fun game and I've found 3 glitches that I'll happily send to the developer via dms.

I'm stuck rn tho, do I need waterfall for Lugia in those caves and if u do how do I get past the frozen maril in the ice cave to get to black city?

I'm struggling with this, but how can you delete HM moves from a pokemon?

I don't recall if move deleter deletes hm moves but I know I've came across some point in the game. I'd google pokemon gold move deletes location and try there

put in about 40 hours in this game(yes I'm obsessed) but I'm trying to get Urshifu, and im confused for the criteria. Might be a tall order, but perhaps throwing in criteria for non-obvious evolutions in the sheet would help some players out quite a bit (that is, those who are using it to their advantage.) :)

Review: 8.3
Definitely was not easy fighting second gym leader run through. Minor glitches. (I.e. ruins pink screen, certain areas you either walk through or on water)((fortunately there is work arounds if you're resourceful) Experience is definitely main game vibes. Love the story. It's a grind fest though.

 

[looneyman1]

Is it possible for Feraligatr to learn dragon dance without breeding? I wanna know if its either a move relearner thing or if theres possibly even a move tutor who provides it. I only ask since Dragon Dance didnt become a TM until sword and shield after all.

 

[looneyman1]

also Can you convert the pokemon/item lists to a different format? I tried to download Microsoft Excel but unlike a lot of aps there is no free version of excel from what I can see and I do not plan to pay 60 dollars just to read a romhack's documentation.

 

[Plus-Sized Scribe]

Bug Catcher Hector in the National Park still uses Mimic Circle dialogue from Emerald for his post-match text. Maybe change that? (I've noticed a lot of reusing trainers from the vanilla game, incidentally. Nothing wrong with that, but it's stood out to me since I remember names like that. XD)

Also, where was the trainer who was asking for an Abra? He mentioned wanting to branch out from Fighting-types... EDIT: Found him. Goldenrod Pokemon Fan Club, top left.

Another thing, not sure if this is a bug or not, but I am trying to breed some pokemon and I cant seem to pass natures on via everstone. I know its not a perfect 100% chance to get the nature you want with the everstone method but I've been trying for HOURS to get a jolly male rattata with Flame Wheel with a Jolly male growlithe as the father, and the entire time I've only had one jolly rattata but it was a female (as I needed a male rattata for a chain breeding thing and felt like going ahead to get a flame wheel rattata in the process). 3 hours as I write this out in fact, so I'm a bit weary and annoyed by my lack of luck here.

I can't find the reaper cloth at alph. I've accessed all the tombs but no luck! Any way I can cheat it item?

The move deleter is in the bottom right house at the rage resort.

To get urshifu, you need to raise kubfu's friendship to max, and show it to the karate master in Darkoal.

If I remember correctly, it's an egg move. Could be wrong though.

Try using libre Office, it's free. It's what I use since I'm in the same boat.

I'll check, but I'm pretty sure that's actually new dialogue. The national park used to be route 115.

Pretty sure you can only do that in later gens. I did see a tutorial to add that feature in though.

 

[ulquiorra4th]

Google says it has to take 49+ damage in one hit. Try that.

Have tried this also and hasn't evolved for me just wanted to let you know incase there is a bug there great so far loving the original story

 

[Giannis_Sugar]

Oh, I just remembered. There was a point where if you called MOM on the pokenav her message would play followed by a message from gym Leader Roxanne... 😜

 

[PalmtopTiger]

I love sequels! Quite enjoying the game (despite just being very early in the beginning of the game), and Johto is my fav region. I just love exploring everything to see how they changed from the original! I just wonder if I get to see the adult "youngster Joey" somewhere. Would love to see his future! Anyways well done <3
