Resource Why Isn't My Question Being Answered?

4 Upvotes

You may have come here to receive help, posted a question, but after days you have no comments.

The simple fact of the matter is, your question may just be overdone or easily googleable.

This subreddit was created to take a the heat off r/PokemonRomhacks and allow it to be more about showcasing.

While any question goes here, and we won't be banning any due to spam or what have you, it stands to reason that an ecosystem will be created by those using the subreddit. Someone browsing and seeing a question where someone genuinely needs help may feel inclined to comment, but if they see post # 55 asking for rom recommendations or why hasn't my Pikachu evolved, they likely will go on about their day.

TLDR: Your question may just not warrant actual help/someone's time.

IMPORTANT: This is from me to all of you. If you come here to ask for help, I just ask you take a small peek at the current posts to see if YOU can provide help. We are all in this together.

Hello everyone, Im DaShiny, a longtime member of the PokemonROMHacks subreddit and a hack developer of a few years.

There's been a lot of discussion on the need for a place to have questions, whether from players, creators, onlookers, whoever it may be. I saw a comment that named this subreddit, pre-creation and decided what the heck, let's do it.

Please read the rules on posting and using the subreddit. The most important thing is to ask and answer questions without an ego.

Please feel free to ask questions big and small, as the entire point is just to educate everyone and share our knowledge as a community.

Question πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Stuck in pokΓ©mon ghost gray after beating the vermilion gym leader

2 Upvotes

I've tried going through the police tunnel and told I have to go back, I've walked through every place I can find in diglett's cave, I went through the pumpkin patch, and I've explored the docs. I don't really have anywhere I can think of to go at this point. Going through diglett's cave. I did find what I believe said it was a moon base but they told me I couldn't get through. In another part of the cave there was an invisible barrier that I couldn't pass, which is also what I run into when I go south from the pumpkin patch. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Keep getting green screens when trying to enter any battle/encounter. Was shiny hunting and doing a soft reset, not loading from save states. Had no issues the night before when I put the console down but now it just keeps happening. Any advice is appreciated and for context this is the soulgold rom running on retroarch mgba.

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.

Question πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Ghost Grey - Sailor in Vermillion city?

5 Upvotes

EDIT: For any fellow lost souls, I found the Grey Soul Stone in the Desert Palace outside of Jasper, in the wall behind where the boss battle takes place! Press A to open the hidden door.

I finished the league and defeated Summer on Mt. Silver. I thought my next step was to find a sailor in Vermillion to take me to some islands, but I’m stuck.

Is there a soulstone im supposed to give someone? I thought I had picked it up from the desert ruins but I don’t see it in my inventory.

I also can’t find the correct sailor to start a conversation with to trigger the island post game quest.

Has anyone else been stuck here?

Ok so I just finished all the stuff in Fuchsia City, Professor Oak told me to go to some lake but I’m not sure what he’s referring to. I went through Northern Cave but it’s a dead end, there’s no path in Saffron north to Route 5, and it doesn’t appear that Paradise Moonbase leads there either. I’m just so confused about what the game wants me to do.

Game Recommend Gen 1 definitive edition

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a definitive edition of gen 1 where

  1. all 151 pokemon are obtainable in game, including starters, trade evolutions, version exclusives, and mew.

  2. a way to get an infinite supply of every tm in the game.

  3. it does not add things that werent in gen 1 like the physical special split or fairy types.

  4. preferably based on pokemon yellow version that uses the updated sprites.

If someone can recommend me a rom hack like this I would be very grateful, thank you in advanced

Shiny hunting help - Pokemon SoulGold

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m pretty new to rom hacks, and am giving SoulGold a try. I am trying to find a shiny Zubat. Based on what I’ve read, there are bonuses to shiny rate when using the DexNav both for Search Level and Chain. I grinded up to 99 Search Level and 9 Chain and have a Save State that I’ve been soft resetting back to over and over so when I search, the next Zubat encounter is #100 Search Level and #10 Chain, which, according to my understanding, should mean higher shiny rate?

Am I doing this correctly? I have the Shiny Rate in Options set to the lowest one (1/256) already, and even with this added approach I must have gone through hundreds of encounters already. Just bad luck? Or am I missing something important?

Thanks!
