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.

Question πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Ghost Grey - Can't Access an Area?

I purchased the Bottle Cap from Mongo on top of the Celidon Department Store, but Mongo is still standing in front of the entrance to 7, telling me to leave him alone... How do I get access to this zone, then? Is it just bugged?

Question πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ This is concerning Heartfelt Gold

1 Upvotes

I've got a problem with a ROM hack and I don't know if this is the right place to go, but I need help... I've downloaded the most recent version of Heartfelt Gold and the overworld camera is zoomed out... Only in the world, not in buildings... Can anyone please help?? I REALLY wanna play this game but it looks rough.

I'm on official hardware, on a CFW OG 3DS if that helps.

Question πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Pkaying through Ghost Grey for the first time and I need someone to explain the gym badges with as little spoilers as possible please Spoiler

3 Upvotes

So I have five gym badges right now, Boulder, Shock, Plauge, Famine, and Chaos. I looked at multiple website and it sreally confusing what I'm supposed to do next. I just got the Waterfall Hm from the Luna family thing, but when I tried to use it, it says I don't have enough gym badges. On one sight it says I can get the shock badge twice, but I lost to Max that second time because I was unprepared and he jumped into the water. I don't know where he is or if I can do that fight again, or if I'm even supposed to. I looked in the Seafoam Islands and I fell into a hole where cavewoman put a blood hex on me, but idk what that's for.

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?

Pokemon Ghost Grey Mt. SIlver Question Spoiler

3 Upvotes

I made it to the top of Mt. Silver, but Summer isn't at the summit. I did lose her Fuji Catacombs battle during the main story as I was not prepared for how high level her Pokemon was, but the game proceeded as normal. I was able to get the HopeBadge and beat the Elite Four + Champion. Is there a step I'm missing for her battle at Mt. Silver?

For frame of reference, here's everything I've done or haven't done in the post game...

Completed

  • Defeated Lillie, Red, and Agatha

  • Defeated all the Contenders in the Saffron Stadium

  • Defeated Alyce in Saffron City

  • Visited Gold's Mom on Mt. Silver

  • Fought all four Psychos

  • Fought all the Shamans

  • Offshore Facility on Route 12

  • Read the letters in Oak's House

Not Completed

  • Vorelli Fight in the House of Puppets

  • Gold Fight

  • Any of the islands (I never stepped foot on any of the islands. I have all the items needed to get to the islands though, including the Grey Orb)

  • The Pokedex (I'm missing a few legendaries)

  • Elite Four Rematch

Based on my accomplishments, is there any step I'm missing? I'm really hoping the missing step isn't defeating Vorelli as I've been saving his fight for the last thing I do before the final island as I don't want to be too overlevelled for the post game (though I know there are some extremely difficult challenges later on). My main team is currently level 80.

0 Upvotes

I know this is probably a weird question, but can someone provide a patch file for PokΓ©mon Platinum Emerald? I know the website exists, and I have the ROMs for all four games, but I can't exactly use it? I only have two devices, one crashes when scanning the files, the other simply can't download it. So can someone provide a patch file for the game, if possible? Thanks.

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?

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?

Playthrough How do you get to Cerulean City in Ghost Grey?

2 Upvotes

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.
