Caution - Use cheat codes at your own risk!
Since this is a decomp, the game data gets shifted whenever it's compiled. Pokémon Emerald cheats will not work, and cheats tailored to Scorched Silver will probably be version specific (v1.0, v1.1, etc.)

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
- Galarian Yamask can't currently evolve to Runerigus. Fixed and re-uploaded v1.2 patch 7/3/24 (Galarian Yamask just needs to sustain 49+ damage in battle, uses max HP - current HP formula).
- Game freezes when talking to mom after first Shane battle sometimes, seems rare. Should be fixed in v1.3

Hi, how do I evolve trade pokemons? I want my Gurdurr to be an Conkeldurr and its almost level 49 and i got no clue.

There are stones for trade evolutions according to the attached excel file (location of Pokemon). Like a trade stone. One is in the alph ruins

 

[julesvr5]

Where can I find the spreadsheets for the Pokemon and item locations? It says attached but I can't find it. Thanks!
2nd run through btw! Loved it! A sequel to my fav Gen. we need more like this

You should see 2 excel files, one is the game and the other are the spreadsheets.

 

[julesvr5]

Got myself soft locked here. Had no escape rope and dig doesn't work. Had to load my latest save state which cost me roughly an hour of game time. Nothing to bothersome but this shouldn't happen and should be checked when changing the overworld

 

[XXCRBXX09]

How do I teach Sneasler Dire claw?

Came here to post this exact soft lock. An easy fix (I think?) would be to have the trainer only have right or down facing options. But I'm not a programmer so I could underestimate that difficulty.

 

[Giusepp]

Can we get a way (npc, item or other stuff) that lets us change the pokemon's hidden power? My starter got an hidden power of the same type of it's own which is pretty underwhelming..

 

[Kazuichi_Souda]

I've been really enjoying this rom hack, but does anyone know how/if I can evolve Kadabra in it?

 

[akorndr3]

hello, couldn't find the assault vest. never received it from the gym

 

[duszagatito]

anyone know the location for cover fossil, plume fossil, jaw fossil, sail fossil? just need these last 4 fossil to obtain all fossil pokemon

 

[.Missingno]

Alright, you have my attention!
I am excited to try this one :)

 

[Ickle]

yo there seems to be a bug with shell side arm on galar slowbro that makes it so that when it does physical damage every move on every single pokemon in my team turn physical and probably the same for special

 

[Distrix]

Downloaded the Pokemon locations etc but it doesn't open for me. Do I need a specific program to do so?

 

[thingerandfumb]

Anyone know how to evolve Charjabug into Vikavolt?

Thunderstone from Goldenrod Pokemart

 

[thingerandfumb]

Where can I find gible? And can hisuian zoroark learn bitter malice? And how do you get riolu not counting the trade one?

Old man in Dragon' Den gives you lvl20 Gible after beating Clair in Blackthorn gym.
Dunno about Hisuian Zoroark, I have one lvl50 and hasn't learned it yet.

Yeah I have a lv 100 H-Zoro and I couldn't even get Hyper Voice on it. Had to stick to Hyper Beam for Normal STAB

 

[Zaxor]

Any way to change in game time?
Thanks

 

[Xufiie]

Any way to change in game time?
Thanks

The hack uses RTC, changing the clock time on your device will change it in game.
