    This looks really neat! I've been planning to replay through gens 3 and 4 with a friend who's never played them before, and some of these enhancements seem like they could be a nice way to play gen 3 without some of the frustrations of gen 3!

    I have a couple of questions. First, do you have any plans of releasing a "vanilla" version of the hack, which has the mechanical enhancements like phys/special split and running indoors without the ones that change the experience like changed available pokemon?
    Second, do you have any plans of trying to change the Battle Frontier tents back into Contest Halls? Pokemon Contests all being exiled to Lilycove instead of being scattered through the world as a parallel to Gyms has always been the saddest change in Emerald for me.

    Actually, part of why I made the optional patches the way I did is so people can apply them to other Emerald ROMs to just have those features. I also have a vanilla wilds option that has every other feature if that's more what you're looking for.

    As for the contest halls? Nah I don't think I'll change that

    Do you know how to change manually the animation of Secret Power and/or the move result of Nature Power? I want to make them work like in Generation IV.

    This is more something I'd prefer to be asked in a message lol but no biggie. HERE is a post I found about changing Nature Power, didn't turn up anything on Secret Power though. I am actually going to use the Battle Engine Upgrade in the next version which is compiled from source so you could change them in there if you want

    Are you going to make an update that will make the legendary Pokémon stay in one place (not in the bush)?

    Any ideas on an ETA for the next version?

    I don't want to give any concrete date yet but it's mostly done, just need to write up a few more scripts and assemble everything together, make the optional patches and bug test. My main issue is finding time to work on it, as I've mentioned before my work schedule is rather full. But I have by no means given up, still fully intend to make this next version as well as I can

    Best bit of Gen 3 Pokemon ROM Hacks news to hear, seeing as another author of a Gen 3 Pokemon ROM Hack I was watching the development of has called it quits with his project 😢

    I tried the Gen6 EXP Share patch. How does it work exactly? It still only gives EXP to only the holder of the item, and not the whole team. I honestly haven't played Gen6 games so I'm not entirely sure but I heard it gives EXP to whole party that's nonfainted. It doesn't work like that for me. Or am I missing something?

    I wanted to ask a specific question. Does trace change natures of Pokémon to the specific nature of the user of the ability?
