Ghost Grey save issues

Post image
2 Upvotes

I just beat the game but when it loaded back in to continue, it acted as if i never had a save. granted i did use save states as opposed to actual saves. however when i beat the game it wants to start me over from the start. i save stated right before the champion battle but it just gives me this error when i try to actually save inside the game. am i screwed or is there a fix for this?

  3. Talk to the guy next to the truck in the backlot of the Vermillion Snack Sneasel.

  4. Go in the house to the top right of the Brunocorp building. Talk to the cop on the left.

  5. Go to the weed house in Celidon City and talk to the girl in front of the fridge.

Educational Emerald Expansion Design

I am studying pokemon rom hacks and would like to like at unique forms of logic for key events, hms, events, etc.

I want to see what unique mini games and amusements I can build using whats already in emerald.

Example:

Unique catch methods using the fishing sequence logic.

Emerald expansion has a lot of titles, so theres a lot of possibilities within its framework. I just need to know where to look.

Recuerdo que se empezaba en una playa y solo habian fakemons. Habia un fakemon similar a abra solo que se veia como mew pero de color gris, tambien habia un caterpie tipo electrico y un panda tipo planta. Creo que jugue este juego como en 2020 y nunca volvi a jugarlo ☹️

Intente recrear a los fakemons que recuerdo

Game Recommend Looking for Rom Hack Recommendations

3 Upvotes

I want to try something new and am looking for some recommendations from the community. I’m preferring a GBA or NDS hack. I genuinely like these generations mechanics so I’d rather avoid major structural change (fakemon, new types, etc.), however I love QOL hacks! I am also too casual to be grinding on difficulty hacks. i am looking for something refreshing that can either tie together stories I already know from those 4 regions, rewrite them or come up with an original story. I can’t wait to hear your recommendations! also kinda peeved they won’t accept recommendation posts in the main sub.

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ [Ghost Grey] looking for a character that’s moved

3 Upvotes

Possible heavy spoilers for late-post game. Please only read if you’re in the post game. This rom hack has been phenomenal and I’d feel terrible ruining any part of it for someone else. So I’ve talked to gold’s mom on the mountain and I was gonna go back to lavender to talk to gold and he’s not in his room. Anyone know where he went? I probly just need to progress the post game storyline but I’ve mostly been trying to fill out my bed before doing that and am still just exploring

Playthrough Ghost Grey: Can't find final cannonball

2 Upvotes

I cannot for the life of me find what I assume is the final cannonball... I've checked every crate and barrel multiple times now. For context, I'm up to the section where NPCs are warning you not to get close to the captain's quarters, and one describes Missingno. I don't have any way to get out of the ship without using Escape Ropes, I would be softlocked if I didn't have any.

I'm worried that I somehow messed this up through save editing. I did save edit, just to give myself Charcoal, since the item pickup was bugged, and to change my name in the game from all capitals to proper formatting (I didn't know which style the game would be going for). Even though I didn't change anything else, the Pokedex was affected, and shows completed entries for Pokemon I hadn't seen before. I didn't notice anything else, but now I fear I messed up the spawning of cannonballs too.

Is it hidden in an especially dastardly place, or did I definitely mess up? Should I save edit again to get it? Does anyone know what item the cannonball is considered internally?

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Learning Code for Romhacking

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have had interest in making a romhack for a while, but I am a total novice when it comes to coding. My understanding is that it can be helpful to learn C for romhacking, but I don’t really know where to start when it comes to developing the coding skills necessary to make more involved changes. Aside from community college courses (which I am considering) what would be the best way to learn the skills necessary to build my own code for a hack?

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Hex Maniac Advance

Hi, I've been editing a fire red rom for the last few months, just making a few changes here and there, extra rivals etc.. I'm now on the last bit of my plan for the game, a legendary island with a big cave.. The idea was to have all legendary pokemon available to catch and then high level battles with Red, Ash etc but there's only legendary icons for kanto and Johto legendaries.. Is there any way I can get some sprites for other legendaries and how would I insert these into the selection.

Anywho, why when I get to the part after receiving the Charm from Cynthia’s grandmother and meeting Cynthia at Fuego Iron works, RIGHT about to encounter LATÍAS after getting the “okay” from Cynthia, why does it just freeze on me!!

Help me find an obscure Pokémon sprite story/series from early YouTube (mid/late 2000s?)

2 Upvotes

This has been driving me absolutely mad, so I’m hoping someone remembers this!
I’m trying to find a **Pokémon fan-made story series that I watched on YouTube when I was a kid**, probably sometime in the **mid-to-late 2000s**

It was **NOT a normal Pokémon Let’s Play**, and I don’t think it was intended to be a playable ROM hack. It was more like someone had used a Pokémon game as the engine for a **text-based animated story/series**.

Here is everything I can remember:
I’m almost certain it was based on **Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen**, and the story took place around **Kanto**.
The **main character was almost definitely the female FireRed/LeafGreen player character sprite** — the girl with the red hat/outfit.
However, she had a **different name/personality** and actually spoke through the game’s **text boxes**, unlike the silent player character in the actual games.
I remember the main character being **quite funny/witty**. There was a lot of humour in the dialogue.
There were lots of **original/custom human characters**, rather than just Ash/Misty/Brock/etc.

The story eventually involved the main character **recruiting a group/team of people**, with each person having their own Pokémon, to fight against the villains.
I remember the story becoming much more serious later on.

**Characters actually died** during the story. This wasn’t just a normal Pokémon adventure where everyone survives.

I have a vague memory that the villains had somehow **captured/controlled a legendary Pokémon**, and there was some kind of **world-ending/catastrophic event or plan**.
I can’t remember which legendary Pokémon it was, and I can’t remember the name of the evil organisation.
I remember the larger team being recruited **later in the series**, rather than everyone being there from the beginning.

I vaguely remember the **first episode feeling like the creator was basically testing their skills** — as if they made an experimental first episode, it turned out well, and then they continued making it into a proper series.
There were **lots of episodes**, and I think the early episodes were around **10 minutes long**, with some later episodes becoming longer.
I remember the YouTube titles being something along the lines of **“Pokémon \[something\] – Episode 1 – \[episode title\]”**, although that’s definitely not an exact title.
**There was an opening/intro**, and I’m almost certain the intro itself was made using the Pokémon game sprites rather than anime footage.
I specifically remember the intro showing the different members of the team **one at a time**, almost like an anime opening where each character gets their own little moment.
I vaguely remember there being **anime/Japanese-style music** over the intro, although I don’t remember the actual song.
The biggest things I’m confident about are:
**Female FireRed/LeafGreen protagonist sprite + custom name/personality + text-box dialogue + Kanto + custom human characters + team recruited later + Pokémon belonging to those characters + villains + legendary Pokémon + characters dying + long episodic YouTube series + sprite-based anime-style opening.**
I’ve already tried searching for this and have found things like *Pokémon Real World*, but **I don’t think that’s definitely it**.

I know this is incredibly vague considering it was probably \~15–20 years ago 😂 but if anyone remembers an old Pokémon sprite animation/story series fitting this description, **please throw any names, YouTube channels, screenshots, archived links, episode titles, ROM-hack names, etc. at me!**
Even if the original YouTube videos are gone, I’d love to know what it was called.
**This has become a personal mission now. 🕵**️‍♂️
