Awesome, thank you so much! Especially for the Battle Tent change, I had to restart my game as I had already picked up the mega stone in Seafloor Cavern but it's alright, I figured the changes brought on by this patch were big enough to warrant a complete restart.

the nurse joy resets that flag after you chose the difficulty so you can get it in your other save
also, I just released a bugfix update that fixes some error with some npcs mainly the mints npc and other ones
please update your games

Good Night everyone, i just released a new update today, its mostly bug fixes but i also added an ability to make grinding easier and also added some enhancements that should make the game better
Changelog 1.4.2
-Tweaked the Elite Four teams and fixed their levels depending on the difficulty
-Removed the need for any badge for all the Field Moves
-Fixed the Level Caps not working as intended
-Added some moves to Poliwag line and Boltund
-The Pokedex now will start in National Mode instead of Hoenn mode when you start a new game
-Changed the Acro Bike name to "Bike" since you only need one bike for both both modes like in gen 4
-Now you should get the Wailmer Pail at the start of the game, if you already started the game just talk to any nurse joy and you
will get the item automatically
-Added a new Ability, Lucky Boost this ability makes you gain more exp on the whole party for each member with that ability
you have in your party. The Pokemon with this ability are Shuckle, Audino, Chansey line and Dunsparce and acts like Serene Grace in
battle(but multiplying the move effect x1.5 instead of x2)
-Further improvements to overall game stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.

Beat it finally. The elite four is all level 60 to 65 and the champion has all pokemon at level 70+. Pretty good game which allows a lot of freedom but beating the elite four and champion will be hard without a proper team. Also needs to give players access to ALL Tms before challenging the elite four. It's very frustrating not having the movesets you want because of not having the Tms.

Good Night Everyone, i just released the update 1.5
it adds the long awaited music update, i found some unused space in the save data where i could fit some options there so there will be no need to start your save until anything else happens but there are no plans for that so please, Enjoy!
Changelog 1.5
-FINALLY added the music update for this game, now you can choose between Kanto, Jotho, Hoenn and Sinnoh
you can change it on the options menu(i found a some unused save data space so i could fit it on any save
and will NOT corrupt past saves so you can play right away)
-Added a Music Test to the game, you can press B + Right + Select in the Title Screen to access to it
-Upgraded the Sound Engine of the game, technically it sounds better but it uses the same Sound Samples to it only
affects new music

-Egg Move Tutors will now cost 3000 per move
-Added a TM tutor, this tutor will teach your pokemon any TM move for 6000 for those who only want to teach
a move one time or are too lazy to find the TM(but if you find you can use that TM all the times you want so getting it its still better.
also there is a limit for the moves that can be shown so you will only be able to teach the first 45 moves that your pokemon can learn)
-To access these tutors go to the guy next to Nurse Joy, you need 6 badges for the Egg Move tutor and 8 for the TM move tutor
-Changed the GAMEFREAK part of the Title Screen
-Added Rayquaza's Cry when you press Start at the Title Screen like all the other Gen 3,4 and 5 games do
-Updated the Tall Grass Battle terrain graphics

-Made all the Gen 8 Pokemon learn Toxic and Hidden Power
-Gave Poliwrath Ice Punch as a level up move
-Tweaked Applin moveset and stats for people using it early in game
NOTE: Everything music related from here was thanks to CyanSMP64 since he made the DS Music Expansion
and the Music Test menu you can find it here https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/458252

Okay, so I downloaded Pkmn R.O.W.E yesterday.
The result of my experience was to create this Account on pokecommunity, for the only purpose of telling @rioluwott HOW MUCH I ENJOY THE CONCEPT AND EXECUTION OF THEIR WORK. Like, really. The fact how many little details appeared to me in the first 5 minutes into it was astonishing to me. It is exactly what I was looking for, just a version of one of my best childhood - memories, but with a fresh coat of emerald - paint on it. And I just needed to reach out to you to honor you and your creativity delivering JUST THAT.
I hope it makes you proud that you are able to make a random Internet - guy's wish come true, just by doing what you enjoy.
Cheers mate !

Great work! I love it.
(MyBoy, last patch, 1.5)
Here some bugs:
- Bug Bite is not eating the berries
- Skill Swap does nothing
(not sure, the abilities do not pop out)
- After You sometimes makes the target attack twice
- Terrain, hazards and weather not showing in the background
- White Smoke prevents self inflicted status drops too
(i.e. Shell Smash without drops)
- Keen eye does not ignore evasion boosts
- Pickup doesn't work during the battle I think
- Porygon's Download messing up in double battles
- Gulp missile working like Rough Skin but EVERY TIME. both physical and special attacks.
- A bunch of abilities are not implemented yet. There are plans to implement them or are they staying as it is?
- Arctovish's icon is yellow
- In PC, alternative and regional forms return to their original forms
- Pokedex do not show data for regional forms
- Dexnav misleads about IV's and held items. Whereas the abilities and egg moves are correct.
- Dexnav for some reason doesn't work on ashed grass
(i.e. route 133 and team magma hideout route)

This is legit my favourite ROM hack. I love the work but I have one major bug to report.
I'm running mGBA 0.9.2 and the latest version of this rom hack (v1.5).
I tried challenging Roxanne for my second gym badge but as soon as the gym leader battle transition finishes, the game freezes and I had to reset. To make sure this wasn't a one time thing, I restarted the emulator and tried again, but it still froze after the transition. Tried this on a different emulator and same deal.
My settings for the game are normal difficulty and only the randomize mode was enabled. I tried replicating it with a fresh save, same settings, and it didn't freeze that time. Probably a certain pokemon that caused it.
This is the only real bug I encountered so far. Will report back if I find any more bugs, keep up the work!

Which emulator's did you try? I had an issue with John GBA doing the same but I tried MyBoy! and there's been no freezing.
What rom did you use to patch? And what program did you use to patch it?

Could you please send me your Save File here or in Discord and tell me the battle that triggers the issue?
i haven't tested Randomize mode that much but i would like to fix it to avoid issues since i think it became a really used mode
