Yeah. The thing is, the gba file has to be in a Zip folder and you should use either Tiger GBA or Gameboid to play it. But I tried playing the game yesterday after Lips patching it, and it glitches up. I used Pokémon Ruby as a base to patch it. So I don't know what's wrong with it.

There are different version of Ruby: European, American and MUGS intro hack which is probably a version of American Ruby as well. Mugs patches OK.

Here with the version 1.0 of Ruby (the one used to patch light platinum) the game starts all glitchy, with some black things... not playable... this happens to you?

Look for ROM named 0907 - Pokemon Ruby (U)(Intro Hack)(Mugs)

It's the one I'm using at the moment. Some of these may be bugged anyways so download from a few different sites.


How come many pokemon in LOG have special abilities different than what bulbapedia states?

hey DJG, im doing a walkthrough on your hack and i just beat joseph... what do i do now?

Battled Yiyan already? If yes, then head to Hevah League. Joseph will be there and he has a ruby destiny fragment just for you (and a symbol of courage if you accepted the old man quest in rintah town!^^)!^^ Oh, and you can get the Hevah Symbol from the cooltrainer there, in case you forgot about that (happened to me which is why i mentioned it!^^) !^^

After this... Well, I´d suggest to look for more fragments!^^ Heading to Oceanshine City might be a good idea!^^ Oh, and traveling in general, especially places you couldn´t get to before (Hint: There´s only one Waterfall in Hevah, so there´s bound to be something!^^)

Does anyone have any strategy advice? I'm just starting, and I'm finding it really hard. It was easy up until I got the ability to catch other pokemon, but trying to level other pokemon is really really hard. My Ralts just seems to have the toughness of a sheet of paper. Am I doing something wrong or did I catch a Ralts with low IVs?

I know I'm a n00b, so thanks for any advice!

Ralts? Use your starter! Ralts is pretty weak. Play poke chips for a while to get some cash and leave Ralts at the day care in Silkwind. It will make her tougher and you won't have to care much.

I found a Spinephy. Does it evolve? It's really hard to catch at the safari - is it some kinda of a special pokemon?

No, Don't worry Ralts has same growing problems in other games also which include the original ones. It's really tough to raise Ralts so i suggest you catch A gastly instead of it but its your choice

Destine, are you going to add more pokemon to the hack?

Where can I catch legendary pokemon? Where can I find a casino in LOG?

Hey, good work on this hack destinedjagold. It's much more engaging than an ordinary GBA Pokemon game. It's obvious you and your team put a lot of work into this game!

That being said, I know now why a lot of people don't like fakemon. To beat this game you have to get past some of the most broken 'mons I have ever seen, far worse than a notoriously hard-to-kill (ghost/dark + wonder guard + >1 HP) pokemon in another hack. I know their stats were obscenely boosted because I've used leech seed on them and it's as if I get a free moomoo milk every turn, and I'm not even talking about the legendaries! My other peeve is the ludicrously boosted moves. In my humble opinion, it's bad enough in 4th gen where 70% of OU is just guys who set up to sweep your team, and you can't wall anything anymore, so I don't know what to call moves that are stronger than hyperbeam moves, have no adverse effects on the user other than shaky accuracy, and usually get STAB from the pokes that learn them, adding up to already-overpowered pokes essentially using selfdestructs (that can hit super-effective) over and over without fainting. There's challenging, and then there's..I dunno..words fail me here...*collapses momentarily*

Don't worry, I walked the heart attack off. :D
BTW GooeyGunan, if you're having doubts about ralts, just have patience with it! Without a Gardevoir on my team, I don't know how I would've beaten this game!

Riolu = happiness. Water stones are in Boulder Town from a merchants for cash, as well as all the other stones.

Hey guys, first post here but I'm no newbie by any means. Been playing this hack for a while, love it, but I ran into a snag I can't figure out. I chose to not join with team earth, eliminated dark organization, etc. I have 6 elemental thingys. The yellow rock tells to to go to the ranger hq, but there is nothing to do there/nothing happens. The jail cells in the basement are filled, but I can't seem to trigger whatever event. I do use some action replays, notable walk through walls (makes it easy to get places, but I never go anywhere that requires an hm i dont have), so is it possible that I missed a rival battle or something (though I made it this far...)

Thanks for the help,
Dan

edit:
Also, I get "grr"d out of mineral cave on dusk path. I have the 6th badge and tried re-talking to elemental master. no luck.

Destine, could you post some charactersitics of your fakemons? I've found a few and I'd really like to know more about them. Love Whisperee!! :)
