I think I'm gonna play gold and silver and maybe crystal to get back in the mood. They were awesome...

HG and SS are, really, what we fans have been waiting for. And I'm gonna have a Lucario or an Empoleon folloing me when possible, cos they're my 2 fave Pokemon (Actually, my username comes from my Empoleon on Diamond. King Pingu is the actual king of the pingus lol)

HG rom team:

Mido/Bayleef lv28
Cata/Butterfree lv29
Drum/Poliwhirl lv28
Momo/Miltank lv21
Hilda/Houndour lv24

I'm gonna be using a Xatu as my flyer (and in battle as a nifty Psychic). Considered Magnezone and Mamoswine as well, but I decided to leave those until my actual physical copy of SoulSilver arrives.

By the way this is the best Pokémon game yet. Pretty much everything is improved and made far more bearable.

Lots of updates: http://pokebeach.com

Is the ROM only in Japanese? Oh, and you are still a very lucky person...

I'm pretty sure I heard the ROM was translated into English by a third party. I haven't been desperate enough to hunt it down, though, so I couldn't tell you where it is.

I'll have Scribblenauts to, hopefully, keep me happy until HG/SS hits the States.

The current translation version (3.0) translates pretty much everything except the story dialogue.

Yup, I only need latios on SS to get all the possible legendaries in the game without trading/cheating. Oh, and i've noticed that if you have a pokemon too big to go into a house following you in Saffron city, it crashes the game on any emulator if you exit a house. Word of warning to you all...

SoulSilver party:

Uca Pugnax/Krabby lv24
Roll/Quilava lv28
Zou/Donphan lv28
Spear/Beedrill lv28
Yellow/Pikachu lv29 (knows Fly :D)

Wow what the hell? Surely a patch fixes something as noticable as that.

No, I've got the anti-piracy patch on my SS rom. Seriously, Exit a house, and it causes your character to look glitched, and then if you try and do anything like enter a house, or enter your menu, it crashes the game. It also happened to me yesterday on the route from Viridian City to the League for some reason... I'm gonna look into it, but a solution is to put a smaller pokemon at the top of your party.

Oh, and how the hell did you get a Pikachu to learn Fly? Unless... YOU CHEATED!?!?!?

Yellow Forest (a Pokéwalker area) has Pikachu that learn Fly, as well as ones that learn Surf. The chances of finding one with Fly, Surf, or even Volt Tackle, are RIDICULOUSLY low, so when I finally found one with Surf, I cloned it and replaced Surf with Fly (using Pokésav). Soooo I 'half'-cheated.

I'll get them as soon as I can, okay?

And I remember those days. They were awesome. But there are ways of tracking them more easily now, which takes the surprise and excitement out of the encounters...

Here you are, snapshots from my own save file. Enjoy the glitchiness.

This is just as I have left the Mimic Girls house in Saffron City. I had my Lugia as my lead pokemon. Note the difference in the colours of the characters



And now, Lugia comes out of its pokeball. As a random glitchy mess.



And then, I tried to enter my menu, and the game froze.



Now, the only problem is that I used a save state after I glitched it, and forgot to make a back up. So I now have to go back to an earlier save state with my shitty team... Oh well, I have Mewtwo at level 100, so I don't care much lol.

EDIT: Now that I've gotten the pokesav, I'll try and activate the Celebi event.

I'm assuming you're using the unofficial English patch, king? Given the nature of it, I'm wondering if the unaltered build has the same bug, or if the palette swapping is being caused by the patch code.

If you've got the time, try messing around with it and see if you can pinpoint some specifics. Is it just the size of the lead Pokémon, or some other factor that's contributing to it, like species or type? Is every building at risk of the bug, or just the Mimic Girls house?

Thanks for posting this. Most intriguing. It'll suck if this turns out to be part of the game's main code. :shock:

FaFniR: The PokéNerd in me thinks it would have been better to keep Surf for the Pikachu, I think. It's a great way of dealing with Ground types that it would ordinarily be at a disadvantage against. Fly is a hard move to use properly, because it takes two turns to execute. It usually has to be paired with a move or ability, like Mean Look or (Toxic) Spikes, that will prevent or discourage switching out to a Pokémon that's resistant to Flying-type attacks on the next turn.

Whatever floats your boat though. If you're having fun with it, that's the most important thing. Besides, most of the NPCs in Pokémon games aren't usually that crafty.
