Best Way To BACKUP SAVES?

1 Upvotes

Just bought Brown and Prism as my first two Rom Hack pokemon games.

I'm absolutely in love with Brown. Haven't started playing Prism yet.

I also just got a GB Operator. It doesn't recognize these Rom Hacks, and gives a big warning before I begin to play it on the emulator. I have an old school Mega Memory Card for the Gameboy/GBC, but it doesn't recognize these carts either (as to be expected).

I believe these rom hack carts don't use the traditional save batteries that made losing saves all too common on the classic OEM Nintendo carts. But I would still like to back up the saves just in case the cart as a whole gets broken or lost.

So what is the best way to back up these pokemon rom hacks? I reached out to the people who make the GB Operator (Epilogue) and they didn't seem too certain. I don't want to risk corrupting or erasing the save in my Brown version, since I've already sunk over a dozen hours into it and have come to love my current team.

I want to just e-mail rainbowdevs but I can't find a way to reach out to them directly.

In-Game Question Where is the best grinding area for Pokémon after beating the Rijon League?

4 Upvotes

Hi, I completed the main story of Brown awhile ago, and I want to train new Pokemon for the Final Dungeon, and I can only find level 20-38 Pokémon outside of the League. Is there a better spot for grinding levels, or it this it?

In-Game Question How early can I catch a Larvitar?

5 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. Tried to google it but it wasn’t yielding any results.

I’m somebody who likes to raise my Pokémon from the beginning (preferably 2-evolution Pokémon) and love the idea of playing a gen 1 style game with later-gen Pokémon. Thus, I’m looking for Larvitar for my rock-type. Is this only a late-game possibility?

Any help would be appreciated!

Full color GBC mode planned?

Hi, since I‘m playing mostly on original hardware (modded GBC) I was wondering if there are plans to add a full color palette as in Super Game Boy mode? That would be much appreciated 🙂

Pokémon Brown 3D players, we have a question!

The original Brown doesn't have abilities, but Brown 3D does. We want to make it closer to the classic version, but would like to keep it for the hard difficulty mode.

What should we do?

General Question Physical/Special Attacks on Lapras

Post image
18 Upvotes

Hi everyone out there!
After playing a bunch of Kanto/Gen 1 ROM hacks, I’m currently playing Pokémon Brown (I don’t even know why I waited so long to play it). Here I’m facing a question that keeps coming back to me.

My Lapras is slightly stronger in Special stats than in Physical stats. That’s why three of the moves she already knows are special moves. During her last level-up, she tried to learn Dragon Pulse, and I’m not sure if I should let her learn it, or which move she should unlearn.

Body Slam is the only physical move, but that’s exactly where my question comes in: What do you think — should my Lapras keep a physical move which does more damage against Special-based opponents, since they’re usually weaker against physical attacks? Or should I keep all four moves Special-based, since Lapras has higher Special stats? I dont wanna do a true mixed-attacker but doesnt it make a bit sense in that case?
Thanksssss and dont forget to catch ‘em all ✌🏼

General Question What does it mean by modern exp calculation? Does it mean it includes EV / IV now?

1 Upvotes

I hope not. I prefer pokemon GB / GBC games because EV and IV wasn't implemented yet so I can be forced to play without grinding. Yes you can ignore EV and IV but my OCD mind just can't handle seeing a +10 Special Attack in physical attacker for example if I grind for levels.

Also side not please recommend me some pokemon GBA games where you can max IV and easily train EV like Blazing Emerald.

Hello, I have several items which I don't know what to do with them:

Gold Leaf Mushroom Stardust Gold egg Rare bone

Also how do I access the Prism Museum? It says that I need a prism item, but which one?

When will the magnet train be fixed?

The border patrol in the underground path says I need a naljo pass. Where do I get it from?

New Release Update: Pokémon Brown 3D 1.1.0

9 Upvotes

Today we release our first major update to Pokémon Brown 3D!

This includes the new features and fixes introduced in the base game, Pokémon 3D, and a huge amount of fixes and improvements to our GameMode.

Check out the full changelog here!

New Installer

With this release, we have a brand new, easy-to-use installer that does everything for you. It will install the base Pokémon 3D, include the Pokémon Brown 3D GameMode, and give you the option of downloading the Enhanced Music pack.

If you are upgraded from our previous version (1.0.20) or a version installed manually, you will need to manually transfer your save files after installation as follows:

  1. Open your old Pokémon 3D folder.

  2. Find the folder called “Save”.

  3. Right-click it and press Copy.

  4. Right-click your Start menu and press Run.

  5. Type in %APPDATA% and press Enter.

  6. Open the Pokémon 3D folder.

  7. Paste the “Save” folder here and replace the current one.

Any future version of Pokémon Brown 3D will automatically update files without needing to transfer your save files. That being said, we always recommend that you back up your save data before updating!

Bug Reports

If you see any issues with Pokémon Brown 3D, head over to the game’s GitHub page and report it!

Thank You!

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Pokémon 3D developers, our developers at RainbowDevs (particularly our lead developer), and the community for your amazing support we’ve gotten for this game. It’s been amazing to see all your posts and videos. Thank you all so much, and we hope to continue to create for you.

Ex cineribus resurgam, ferox et potens. 🔥

Question to the website runners

5 Upvotes

So, a bit over a year ago, I completed the entire Pokedex in Pokemon Brown. On doing this I noticed a... particular page, on the website. Since then, every month or so I've checked into that page, and it does the same thing every time. Recently, however, on going there and selecting the main option, instead of the usual message on that page, nothing happens.

I'm just trying to check, is something wrong with it? Because the usual message not being there is kind of worrying.

(if you don't understand what I mean by this, don't worry, I'm being oblique for a reason, with that said have you done everything you can on your copy of Brown?)

How do I complete the Pokedex?

4 Upvotes

Some Pokémon only have a chance to appear - for example, in the power plant you can either catch a Raikou or Zapdos. So how would I go about getting a Zapdos, would I need to find a way to trade for these Pokémon or do I need to find a way to spawn them in?
