FAQ
Spoiler:
- When will gen 9+ Mons/Husian Forms will come to the game?
Never, the game will NOT feature Pokemon that were introduced after Pokemon Sword and Shield release. - Where can I find [Evolution Stone]?
All the evolution items are sold in Lilycove Dept after you get 4 badges. - Are every Pokémon Available in this game?
Every Pokémon is available in some form with the exceptions of some Mythicals and Legendaries that are going to be added to the game in a future update. - What is the Surprise Me Option in the starter selection?
It gives you any First Stage Pokémon randomly(the only exceptions are Mythicals and Legendaries). - How can I evolve Pokémon that evolve by trade?
Go to the Name Rater house in Slateport, talk to the Tradeback Guy and chose the Pokémon you want to evolve. - How many badges do I need to use the Egg Move Tutor or the TM Move Tutor on every Pokémon Center?
For the Egg Move Tutor you need 6 badges and for the TM Move Tutor you need 8. - Can I change my Pokémon Abilities/Natures?
Yes, to change the ability of your Pokémon for the other normal Ability you need an Ability Capsule that can be bought in Oldale Town in the house behind the Pokémon Center, and for a Hidden ability you need an Ability Patch, you can get it in Pacifidlog Town in exchange for 1 Yellow Shard - How does [Pokémon] Evolves
You can check the in-game Pokédex to see how the Pokémon Evolves and a lot of other useful information(Base Stats, Abilities, Movesets, Ev Yield, etc). - What is the shiny rate in this game?
The Shiny Rate is the same as Vanilla emerald but if you want to shiny hunt, I highly recommend using the DexNav. - What Mythicals/Legendaries are obtainable?
Articuno, Moltres, Mewtwo, Mew, Entei, Ho-oh, Lugia, Registeel, Regice, Regirock, Latios, Latias, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Deoxys, Azelf, Heatran and Shaymin, Terrakion, Volcanion - Why does my Pokémon won't evolve after reaching the evolution criteria?
Check that you haven't used an Exiolite on that specific Pokémon and the Pokémon isn't holding an Eviolite as this game changed it to make it work similar to an everstone.
Also check that the Pokémon evolution is not different in this game since some of them were changed, check the in-game Pokedex for more
information, and make sure you are not in the "No-Evolution mode" - How do I "update my game without losing progress"?
Go through the patching process again with a new clean version of the trashman rom, then rename your .sav so it has the same name.
for example:
Pokemon_ROWE(1).gba and
Pokemon_ROWE(1).sav - Will you add more Boxes in the future since the current number of boxes is not enough for a Living Dex?
No, I will not add more boxes at any point.
This is because the Game Boy Advance hardware(And all the GBA emulators) has a limit for the size of the save data that its already at its limit and since the Pokémon structure is really big it's not possible to add any boxes since it would cause an overflow of data and the Box data would corrupt every Pokémon on your PC upon saving or loading your save file.
There is a tool called Pokémon ROWE Transfer Tool(available in the Patcher site) that should help you to backup your Pokémon as .pkm files so you can save them in your computer if you fill your boxes or you want to transfer them to any other save file. - Why does every cry in the game sounds the same?
They were removed to make space for more stuff since the gba cartidge can only go up to 32mb, the cries use around 16mb so they were removed to make space for more features and content.
If you don't want to hear the same cries you can disable them in the options by changing the "Use generic cry" option to off. - Is [Specific Pokémon] shiny locked?
No, there are no shiny locked Pokemon only the starters because they have a set nature and always have the same personality
What is not done
Spoiler:
- Battle Frontier still has the vanilla sets for most Pokemon
- Battle Arena its closed until it is fixed
- There are still 3 Sevii Islands not in the game and are being worked on
- Kanto its still being worked on
- Some Legendaries cant be caught yet
- Gen 4+ has little to no balance changes to their Pokemon since I want to take my time to create custom abilities for most Pokemon and have to think about each change I do plus I'm working on them in order of their Pokedex Entry
- There are still some signature moves to be added
- There are some bugs that will get fixed in future updates
