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

[Zygarde-Crowned]

Why is all of the Pokemon cries are just rhydon?

The creator removed the cries of all Pokémon to make space for new features to be added.

From what I could collect, they won't be added back, sorry.

dang its because of the max memory size of a gba rom?

Correct. Removing the cries saved at least 16MB of the extended 32MB rom. Which, gives Riolu much more to work with.

I know the entire point of this hack is open world..but hear me out.. Emerald Crest has an option to Toggle On & Off between Open World option. Can you do that here? Please your hack is awesome but I am an NPC who wants to play it in story mode.
Thank you

Yeah, I am on the same boat as you, no story, no play, sadly.

Just so you guys know, there was an update 1.9.0.1 that's pretty significant. I think Riolu may have forgotten to post here, but check the Discord if you want the update.

I... am actually surprised that you actually did some work on the cries. I am worried that you feel pressured by all those who whined abou the lack of cries, even though that was necessary in fitting all thi stuff in the ROM.
Either way, I thank you putting some work in getting some sort of cries here.
