Thanks buddy!
I dunno what you're talking about, they probably have something important to do...

But did you 'complete' all events the islands?

Hm, I don't think I inserted Gallade in the game...
There's no Dawn Stone anyways.

Feusta : Hey, I got you mate.
Remember the first town (Victoria Ville, 8th gym leader city). If you go up and then left you should make your way up towards Rocky Town(1st gym leader city) while talking to everyone you see.
Tell me if you need more help.

Hey guys, so it seems like some people need this, so here you go.
This is a list of every evolution, containing both changed ones (like the trade-to-evolve Pokemon) as well as for Gen 4-5 Pokemon.

I hope that helps.
Greetings

Oh lol, now I get it. A few more plays, this sucks -.- Well, maybe next time I'll have more success.

Although I didn't win...LockSmithArmy probably deserves it (a freaking bit) more
But I don't quite get the money awards, can anyone explain this to me?

Use a Waterstone to evolve your Feebas to Milotic.

First of all, I've no idea what Vherestorm stands for but I guess it might have something to do with Mario. Why I come up with this you ask? Because I could not think of a proper introduction.
So let's get right into it:

Graphics & Sound: 7
Not much was changed here, they're almost both the same as in Emerald.
Personally, Emerald's graphics aren't as good as Firered's but animated sprites and little things like the final battle of the 3 legendaries are not to be found in Firered.

Addictiveness: 7
Pokemon is quite addicting(or maybe I'm just a mad human being) and Emerald has at least a decent story and more content than Saphire and Ruby for example do. I wish the creator would have changed more to make this hack stand out more of the flood of hacks that you can find on Vizzed and in the Internet.

Story: 7
I already mentioned above that Emerald was one of the first Pokemon games that had something like a (good) story. But since I've played it a dozen times the creator could have tried to improve or change the story completely.

Depth: 8
Emerald sure had depth, unlike most of the previous Pokemon games. The only thing that annoyed me that it was so hard then to get all the Pokemon you wanted. Good thing that the creator improved the original game. One of the main arguments for a hack is (always, at least for me) a higher variety of Pokemon and the more to catch the better(or something like that...)

Difficulty: 8
Another thing that I like about hacks of Pokemon games is the fact that in most games you'll rather find some kind of challenge here than in the original games as sometimes I feel I'm rather too da** good or the games were made for 6 years old children who'll throw their precious Masterball at the first legendary Pokemon they see. Or maybe both of these things.
When I read first about Overpowered Pokemon I didn't like the idea. But the creator chose some I wouldn't and some of the choices are quite interesting like Beedrill for example, not only the already super strong Pokemon like Dragon types.

If you read thus far you'll probably understand my rating.
Good luck in your future endeavours(to quote a man on live TV that I liked to hate but that's a nice quote).

Let's do this...Bear with me, people.

Graphics: 8
"HG/ SS animated sprites" is definetely an improvement to the normal Emerald. Since the normal Emerald graphics are only slightly better than average to me, I rate this hack an 8 concerning graphics. Although I'd like to see more graphical changes like new Tiles or changed Maps and towns.

Sound: 7
Nothing changed here. I think RSE music is fine while nothing special. 7 points here.

Addictiveness: 7
While there could've been changed more to create a new experience for players who played Emerald as often as I did, the changes are not that bad. At least, Emerald has some nice features like the Battle Frontier which can be addiciting. Combined with more catchable Pokemon than in the original games, this sure makes it more entertaining.

Story: 8
Emerald was one of the first Pokemon games which had an adequate story. For Gen3 it is totally fine. But still you(or let's say: I) always expect "hacks" to be (totally) different than Game Freak's(masterpieces ).

Depth: 8
Story and Addictiveness combined for me results into 8 points. Compared to Ruby and Saphire, Emerald offers much more content.

Difficulty: 8
One of the things I love hacks(and got me into hacking)is that most hacks include improved difficulty. Especially the first Generations were way too easy, that's what I think at least so it's good to have some kind of challenge.

Conclusion: The game offers what the creator wrote in the description. Nothing less, nothing more.
Good luck with your future projects(if you ever want to make a new one of course )!

Thank you. Well, although Firered music is at least decent, I would like some new music but that's far too advanced to me. Glad you like it. And I don't like RSE graphics that much, too

Deadend136 : Seriously, no offense intended(only in games allowed, not elsewhere), but changing a few Pokemon and Trainers and you call yourself a fellow hacker? I am not an expert hacker like greats as Linkandzelda or zel but I tried to implement everything I know. If you don't change a lot like you do in your little mods, you shouldn't expect bugs since you didn't change the game's mechanics. I played my game at least 3 times through and fixed what I saw and what others told me. This game did consume a lot of my time, I created it for fun(and also for the competition which was needed to keep the "fire"). Calling me lazy while (honestly)you can't backup your words is not that nice...at least where I live.
And no, this is no Beta. Because it is in fact complete. Since you didn't play very far, I don't expect you to see that. I don't care about the viz, it's the game I'm interested at.

You better do, buddy
Thanks for the compliments, I'll plan to add more soon.

It seems like some people have problems with progressing in the game. Here are some tips and ways to progress:

Q : How do I get to FARAWAY ISLAND?
A:You go south from here:


Q : How do I get back to the Sevii Islands after I returned to Kanto?
A:Go to the Southport Harbor, flash the ticket and surf to the west. You need at least 7 badges to progress here. Just talk to the guy and he will disappear after you leave and come back!


Q : How can I get faster to Kanto?
A:There's a cave which leads you back to the Southport Harbor


Q : Where do I get Rock Smash?
A:You get it inside this cave!


Q : When does that policeman disappear?
A:You need to have at least 8 badges. Talk to him, then leave and come back.


I'll add more later on. If you got any suggestions or questions then feel free to post it.

First of all, I thank you for playing and writing a quite long review. However I'd like to speak of my mind a bit:

-Shieldon's BW Sprite is like that, that's not my fault although I changed it and it will be uploaded in the next day(which includes some fixes).
-I hate the text "glitches" like text not disappearing, too. Most of these scripts were created by PSKV(which you should probably know when you say you're a hacker) and it's script generator which speeds things up but unfortunately, for example, for new obtainable items, the created script will work but text won't disappear.
-I've stated in the description that the game contains some humor. If you agree, I'm happy. If not, that's totally fine, everbody's different.

So far I could agree more or less or at least understand your points...
But then, you state that you didn't see text changes or that May is your rival instead of Gary.
If you had played more you would've found out that Gary does infact appear in the game, also you haven't played so far you'll see all changes.(By the way, Gary does infact only appear in the beginning because I can't properly replace his sprite, I get people get confused by this...)

Concerning the story, as stated above, you haven't played that much to see it all(I don't blame you for anything, don't wanna sound harsh).

Well, interesting to see someone who thinks Firered is quite difficult. For me(and for lot's of people, I guess, considering the amount of "extreme" FR games)it's way too easy so I wanted to increase difficulty for those who like to be challenged. Sidenote: I actually think it should have been made harder

I still hope you give my hack a 2nd chance. I'm always ready for constructive criticsm. If you (or anyone else) got something up your mind, I'll try to assist as good as I can(as mentioned in the description, I'm a student and this game consumed some time which I could have spend otherwise haha ).

Read this: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=71614
Your save states should workever flawlessly, howewer make sure to use inbuild game save and not save states to do this. Then you can get the card key without any problems.

As it's only a Beta so far this review might not be accurate when the final version comes out but so far...
I've been following Pokemon Light for at least a year in the development thread and was excited to see a playable Beta. The screenshots, the presentation, it looked very promising.
So here's my short review:
-What I like is that there`re Pokemon from Gen4(maybe Gen5, I'm not sure, I haven't met any so far yet). For someone who played 3Gen games so often as I did it's nice to see a few new Pokemon in the game.
-The titlescreen looks great, it may be a spoiler to the story. Btw, Lucario is such a cool Pokemon
-The graphics, at least on the screenshots look good. While not everything is yet accessible in the beta, it'll be in the final version.

So far my review sounds like I like(lol)the game. I really do, but I can't ignore what's ruining(well not ruining but more like making the game less enjoyable)the game:
-A lot of grammar mistakes. Although I hate to be the bad guy(actually, I don't, it's pretty cool)the mistakes can really get on your nerves. At least the creator knows that so I hope that the final version will have these fixed.
-Although it's a Beta you(or rather I)would expect that the game works as far the game goes. I could have dealt with that if you could only get one badge but that's equalized with an interesting game in general. But things like missing sprites for the new starter Pokemon or other mistakes that could easily be avoided because I believe that the owner and his/her team have experience in Rom Hacking.

My conclusion: I'm very interested how the final version will be. I see potential in this hack, I hope I won't be disappointed.

I guess you mean the colors of the gentleman, right?
If yes, then there's the answer: Because of my lack of experience I'd screwed up some palettes so a few OWs don't look exactly like they do in FR. I wanted to recolor all of them but I did it only for a few so far.

This is nice...
That's no bug. If you played FireRed you know there must be another way

So it seems like a few people are struggling with certain events. Although I'd like you to think more and explore I can at least give you a few hints



Q: I can't get the card key, the dome fossil causes a purple screen, I can't progress in the Safari Zone!

A: These annoying bugs were fixed long ago. So if you haven't read the description you probably don't have the current update here. Refer to the Triune's thread, he posted the way to update the game. Reading always helps(also my personal motto)!

Q : I can't get SURF!

A:You can obtain Surf if you got a certain amount of GYM badges.

Q : Why does this Pokemon sound like that Pokemon?

A:Because I'm unable to insert new cries the new Pokemon have the cries of the old Pokemon...

Q : Where can you get the VS-Sekker?

A:I removed it since there 1)lot's of trainers and Pokemon to fight and 2)personally, I don't see it as essential anyway.

Q:Are there any bugs in this great game?

A: First, thanks for the compliment As far as I know, there should't be any game breaking bugs.

Apart from this, there are some text overlaps and not disappearing text boxes but they don't affect gameplay.

Q: Why is my rival May instead of Gary?

A: Without spoiling too much, I assure you that you meet Gary fricking Oak later in the game. I was just unable to replace Gary's sprite in the intro with May's

Q:Why do my Pokemon (like Houndour)not evolve?

A:You don't have the National Pokedex. You can get it pretty early in the game when you head to the Vertania Forest.

Q:Which new Pokemon did you include in Rocket Strike?

A:I'll only name a few: Electivire, Honchcrow, Shieldon, Cocnodon, Magmortar and some more!

Q:Which evolutions were changed?

A:I changed evolutions for some Pokemon. Pokemon which required trading(like Graveler)or happyness(like Golbat)will evolve by level up or by a special stone(for example: Feebas). A few Pokemon like Houndour and Ekans will need a few more levels to evolve.

Q:I noticed a bug/I got a question up my mind. Where can I ask?

A:Create a thread, post it in the comments section or if it's urgent write me a private message, I'll try to help you as good I can.



If you got more questions, feel free to ask here or elsewhere.
