Emerald hack: Pokemon R.O.W.E. - an Open World Version of Pokémon Emerald(Gen 8, Following Pokémon, Costumes and much More)

[PurpleT]

Hi,

I like breeding pokemons and i play not with "Perfect IV" or "Perfect EV" mode,
therefore i spent over 8 hours time to catch with DexNav a 6 IV ditto on start.

If someone want it, i uploaded a save-editor where you can import Ditto in your savefile.

If there are problems to open or save then write me and i will write a Guide!

Hi! Thank you for this rom, i love it. It gets so hard tho, that i put it in easy mode for my third run in NG+ xD I didn't notice any bug tho or at least nothing big enough for me to remember

I only have one question : i just got master in Pokemon contest for a latiasite but I still didn't get the achievement anyone can confirm if I need to win every different type for the achievement ?

Edit: I did notice that it says i would keep my items for a new game + but it didn't happen in my 2 reruns, i have no item except the held ones, the given ones and my TMs but the TMs disappear soon after the start , idk if that's intended.

How do I "update my game without losing progress"?

Spoiler:

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

This depends on each emulator but should work on most cases

Thanks a lot for the update! Appreciate taking care of some of the people that like the vanilla PSS.

Seems though that all my Hidden Power are showing up as special, regardless of the type- except on my one Jigglypuff, showing up as a Flying physical type.

Edit: seems not all types are special, but among them, Steel and Ghost are definitively special when they shouldn't be.

Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening!! I'd like to ask what's the exact effect of the ability "Early Evolver". It's found on bug types like beautifly, dustox and butterfree.

Thanks~

I would say "check the documentation", but that ability's description is missing from the documentation. Now I'm curious what it does.

When the creator releases the source, the game can be translated. Until then, don't count on it.

 

[Dededepressed]

Question is all of the pokemon cries supposed to be rhydon or am I doing something wrong? I used the most current build but it's just driving me insane to have every pokemon the same thing.

The creator removed the cries of all Pokémon to make space for new features to be added. I feel you though, having all the Pokémon share the same cry kind of takes away from the individuality of each Pokémon.

 

[Alver]

I loved the game, but I have a question, where do I get the strange souvenir?

It can be found at Lillycove Dept. Store after either four or six badges OR the NPC in Dewford who normally gives TM36 Sludge Bomb hands out a random evo item once per day.

Does anyone know if Snubbull-family or Vullaby-family are available?

Does anyone know if Snubbull-family or Vullaby-family are available?

Yes, all non legend pokemon are available and can basically be obtained very early on.

Ok thanks.

I was sure I checked all encounter zones but maybe I am missing some. Documentation says safari zone but in-game pokedex or dexnav shows nothing (on v1.8.3).

Hi, got an issue. When facing Pheobe, My Gardevoir uses trace to copy Spiritomb's ability, after that the game stops. Have anyone had this issue?

I am impressed by all of the work you did in this hack. I say that is a worthy Spiritual Successor to ShockSlayer's Pokémon Crystal Clear.
I hope that I could play this when the hack is done.

Hi, got an issue. When facing Pheobe, My Gardevoir uses trace to copy Spiritomb's ability, after that the game stops. Have anyone had this issue?

There have been some issues with Trickster. We need more information though.

1. What did you use to patch the game with?
2. What lead up to the issue?
3. What emulator are you using?
4. When you say "Stops" Is it still playing music? Black screen? Glitchy appearance?
