When I caught a Ralts, something went wrong with the Pokedex registration. Here's a picture:

That seems to be a side effect of a script that gives Exp after capturing. It's happened for me a few times when I was testing it, and I may have found a pattern to it. It'll be disabled in the next release, pending an actual fix for this (unless I do actually get it fixed between now and then).

Edit: Also, if you guys don't mind could you let me know if the roaming dogs do appear or not? I wasn't able to try it in my test save, so I'm not sure how well my method works. Raikou should start to appear after the roaming Lati@s has been captured/beaten, then Entei, then Suicune. Because of the way the system is set up, they can only come one at a time.

Well, since you have the PS split, I assume you're gonna edit all the sets in the Battle Frontier (or at least the ones that get messed up (Sceptile for example, I think one had Crunch and thunderpunch, and has modest. However now, because of the nature and set, it would be terrible)). If so, good luck.

editing about 860 sets is reaaaaaaaally boring XD

Better question is how hes gonna handle the revamped secret bases. Though my guess is they won't be changed.
 
Found some bugs & errors in alpha 3.

The Box Name has black (sometimes white if restarting/continuing the game) colors e.g. Box1, Box2, Box3, Box4, etc...

Given that this hack isn't being made for a wireless mutiplayer-capable device, the new multiplayer features are beyond the scope of this project.

Thanks for those. Made the text fixes, they'll be out with the next release. I'm not sure what's happening with the boxes, I haven't really changed anything relating to them. Still, I'll see if I can figure out what's causing it.

I had thought about how the revamped bases could be done, and I figured why not have some like the Hidden Grottos in B2W2. then you could have trainers to battle and such.
 
Some jammed up text here.

I just went and trashed the elite four to activate the roaming event to check this out. Found Latios, but couldn't find Raikou. I tried to check if it had its location on the map by hacking in the seen flag for it, but it didn't show anything.

Also
Spoiler:


This occurs during the event where birch upgrades you to nat dex.

I'm about to go out of town, but I'll get that text fixed when I get back.

A couple of questions on the dogs, to help me narrow it down:
-Is this a new save made since A2? The script uses some re-purposed flags belonging to other events in vanilla Emerald.
-Have you used a Poke Center since catching Latios? Talking to Nurse Joy is what triggers the next one to appear.

Since you hacked the seen flag, it can't be a matter of just bad luck finding it. I might need to look at the ASM for this again.

Very odd, considering I haven't edited any trainers' lineups. Which one is it?

1. It is an old save from the before the patch. Sorry, I should have mentioned it.
2. No I didn't yet. I will try now.

If I can't find it after I try this, I will start a new save to test it properly. What flag did you take anyway?
Nevermind. Found the flag. Very sneaky changing the BPEE :P
Ninja's!

The flags in question would be 0x45A, 0x45B, and 0x45C. If you want to save some time, you could make a quick script in XSE that will clear those flags. Talking to Nurse Joy after that ought to trigger it properly.
 
Made a script to clear those flags and talked to Nurse Joy. Checked Raikou's location and still nothing on map. Went through a few battles in different routes just to check. Still can't find it anywhere.

Guess I will start new save to make sure. I don't think it will help anyway.

EDIT: It may be possible that the Nurse Joy script isn't working correctly.
Although if the script isn't working like you set it to, I would expect things to just break.

The Pokedex-after-catch text glitch only occurs if there is a level up, if that helps any.

As for the overleveled Bug trainer in Lavaridge Gym, his name is Bug Catcher Wade and he uses Pokemon in the 35-38 range. I can take a screenshot later of his location if that would help. His overworld sprite and dialogue is the same of one of the normal gym trainers.
 
I shouldn't have suggested the decapitalization haha. It must be of lower priority over the mechanics, but nevermind. Keep going Tlachtli! I'm really looking forward to this project. If betas do come out I'll eventually play this.
 
Another bug, Fortree's gym tiles were glitchy when I first entered, although after a trainer battle they went back to normal.

Also, if a Pokemon levels up from a capture, the Pokemon will not evolve.
Ex. Marshtomp grew to level 36 after capturing a Growlithe, but the evolution did not trigger and I had to level it to 37 before it evolved into Swampert.

I haven't updated to Alpha 3 yet, but I thought the more insight on the capture bug, the better.
