    Also, I have to confess I'm not a huge fan of the hidden power "abuse" you had trainers do to have type coverage they normally couldn't get on a pokemon. It's not even *that* strong,it just feels really cheap, as if the AI is making fun of you cause they can have the perfectly scripted stat roll they want.

    Did anyone solve the New Mauville Puzzle?

    I wonder that, too. I'm at this point, currently. Hope anyone solved it before and can tell us of how to do. Meanwhile, I'm figuring out and willing to post if I find a solution.

    Edited: I almost forget to mention, there is Pekachu, supposed to be Pikachu. LOL and I'm pretty sure it's standing at green switch, which prevent us to press it. Any club of how to do with it? Like attempt to catch it? Use certain item to shoo away? Is it a lost Pokemon? I mean it to anyone know a solution of this as well.

    2nd Edited: Apparently, it's different from original and might not able to complete this puzzle after 5th Gym battle. I saw one (or maybe few) videos of New Mauville. However, they claimed either don't know yet or able to complete it AFTER Elite Four and League Champion. I'm still on it and willing see about that.

    Is there something wrong with the catch rate in this game? Just threw over 100 ultra balls at a paralyzed wobbuffet to no avail.

    Trying to get a Wobbuffet because the rare pseudo legendary encounters have roar or teleport......................... extremely unfun mechanic.

    Edit: So I realized that I already have a Wynaut from an egg so I rare candy's that bitch up to a lvl 100 Wobbuffet. Bulbapedia says mons can't flee via Teleport, but apparently Roar is different......... I have caught a Beldum but that is useless since Heart Scales are scarce and the Metagross doesn't learn any new moves after level 70. This part of the game is the least fun I have probably had playing any game.

    Edit2: So I finally found a Metang, paralyzed it with Jolteon and used Shadow Tag to prevent it from teleporting. I threw 25 Ultra Balls at it and I couldnt catch it before it killed me. The catch rates in this place are insanely low if it's possible to catch anything at all.... thing is Ive seen screenshots of people beating the league with Pokemon only found here and I find it hard to believe that people would be willing to look for sub 10% encounter rate only to get screwed repeatedly by the mons themselves as well. There is something wrong with the game, either by design or bug.

    So I thought maybe the fact I had not yet beaten the League was the reason behind my ridiculously poor catch rate. Therefore, I beat the League with a team without the pseudo legendaries that I had planned on using and then went back to try again, and this time I brought ingrain and Suction Feet to counter Roar.

    It did not help. The catch rate is way under 1% and even with save states, the use of which make me not enjoy playing the game, it took me over an hour to catch a Larvitar. Completely asinine. And to make it worse, I was given one with a timid nature and at that point I just gave up on the pseudo legendaries. I then went to try to get Mewtwo and I had the exact same experience as with the pseudos. This cannot possibly be intentional design, even though it looks like it since I had no issue catching regular Pokemon.

    As a kid I always liked to fill out the Pokedex and I was looking forward to playing through most if not all of it in this game, since I like the fact that it has all Pokemon from Gen 1-3 but trying to start doing so made me quit before I got started. Too bad.

    Overall, it was a really fun and challenging game (at least for me as a casual). My dislikes:
    - Having to switch bikes too much
    - Too much rain influence in battles
    - Lack of Heart Scales since Thief etc. doesn't work (I'd just put them in the shop next to rare candy to solve this)

    I also hate puzzles so I wrote down the solution for each of them. I will post it here in case someone tries look here for advice or Google a solution.

    What is the reason for using Dewgong over Walrein on Glacia's team? Maybe I'm too much of a brainlet to get it, but it seems to me that Walrein is better in every way.

    It's blocked off that early in the game. After you beat the league, the Pikachu is gone. You find Raikou there.

    It disappears after you beat the League. You find Raikou by the generator.

    I downloaded the 3 Movepool.txt files and ordered the Pokemon to look through.
    Pokemon missing besides the Poli line:
    Magmar, Tyrogue, Wynaut
    I also fixed some misspellings (like writing LV. instead of Lv.), if you want I can dm you the ordered txt files.

    Has anyone captured a feebas? According to the Pokédex it is available on Route 115 more so towards the top half of it in I would assume the water via fishing based on the Pokédex showing the blinking circle for the "area". However I have tried with multiple rods for quite some time and have been unable to encounter it. Just seeing if anyone knows if it is there so I don't spend more time on it. Thanks.

    The Beldum line has always had a legendary level capture rate and so does Wobbufett

    Hello,

    Does anybody caught lapras on either: Route 108, Route 115 or Ice cave (or whatever that place is called) or route 133? I am having trouble finding Lapras. Do I catch him by surfing, surfing while fishing or fishing while on land? If fishing, what rode do I use? I spent like 30-45min trying to find a darn Lapras and it's not showing up.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Edit: Finally found and caught a Lapras. Took me a while since it roar me away first turn.
    Anyways,

    Is there a shop that sells elemental punches?

    I honestly love the game. But the thing about base stat changes and such made me very curious. I have a couple questions purely out of interest:

    • Are enemy pokemon EV trained?
    • Can you show the base stats of the pokemon changed, possibly with a text sheet like the level up grades?

    All in all this game was very different from my normal Emerald playthroughs. I'm currently just past the Magma Hideout but you made the game fair in my opinion. With difficulty in the trainers but rewards in good moves and lots of pokemon options
    Spoiler:

    I hope to see more of your stuff!

    Is there any way to get a Kingdra by evolution or do you have to catch one out in the wild? Currently, I have a Seadra that's level 51 (I leveled it up from 50 to 51 with it holding a dragon scale) but it won't evolve.

    Can you still get Pokemon to learn egg moves in this game? I made an account on this site just to ask this. This is an amazing hack. It has just the right of Nostalgia to be the game I remember, But also enough challenge to keep me entertained and interested. Another question I have is why do you hate Meganium? You kind of removed the few moves that made her good. I don't see why you would remove synthesis. At least I can still teach her solar beam via TM. I think.

    Update: apparently you went in and changed some egg groups to Because Meganium and Rosalia cannot breed. Even though that is how you Get moves like grass whistle on Meganium
