Tajaros do you have to start over for the patch to work? My entei event still isn't working at the end I have a save before I enter the entei cave and it still shows that it has been done already when I enter. ps. I tried to continue on and a certain special event after you battle someone in the next town isn't working either. This is after I patched it with the new fixes. I can try restarting, but do you know anything I can try before I do?

Darmanitan's Fire-type moves suck because without the Physical/Special split, all Fire-type moves are special. Darmanitan also has a terrible special attack of 30 (For reference, that's about 2/3rds of Igglybuff's S.ATK.) There are two ways DRG can remedy this. Either by implementing the split and giving Darmanitan moves such as Flame Wheel and Fire Punch, or by implementing its Zen Mode (Which has a whopping S.ATK of 140.)

Gotta agree with implementing Zen Mode or Zen Mode stats =)
But I don't really mind since Volcarona and Victini are better fire types =)

Hey Everyone, I uploaded the newest patch to the main post. Tajaros re-did all of the scripts that weren't working properly and I inserted a few new trainer sprites. Also, the Hero is safe to pick now as his backsprite is fixed again. We're still waiting for Jambo51 to teach us how to repoint the trainer card sprite, but for now, the latest fixes are in the main post.

Tajaros is still in charge of the thread til I return later this week. When I do, progress on Beta 2 will begin now that the most important errors are fixed. Tajaros also added small improvements on maps in Beta1 as well which are in the update on the main post. Enjoy, Everyone!

Download WinRAR or any other extracting program and extract the rar to get the ips. Every hack on this website requires you to do so.

Some more criticism and what could be improved for the next beta:

*OW Sprites seem to be from several different games (I see some from RSE, some from FRLG, and some from even later gens.) Try to keep all sprites the same style, they aesthetically clash with each other if they all have different styles.

*Many Goons/Grunts seem to be just the already-placed trainers with their sprite edited. This causes some problems as not only do they not disappear after the major event is over, but they also keep their old text (Which often is highly inappropriate to the current situation.)

*Conrap(sp?), the fakemon really needs to have its sprite revamped. Not to mention that most characters right now only have recolored sprites. This destroys DR's uniqueness. I'd recommend finding a spriter.

*Maps. The mapping quality is pretty... bad, to tell the truth. Either the maps tend to be FRLG's default maps(Such as the Water Caverns) or they are quite bland(Such as Volaire Forest.)

*The level curve is sort of wonky. At the beginning, it was fine, possibly even too easy. After the second gym, the storyline opponent's Pokemons tend to be over 10 levels of your party, which means the player will often have to grind a lot. I recommend adding more trainers in areas such as the Battle Cave.

I have a suggestion: Why don't you use this as the Arceus introduction sprite?

It would be more face2face talking

And tajaros, would you mind typing in normal font, not the black one please, cause some of us might be using the black style :)

Uhh, you know what it's not easy resizing a picture in that size... xD

And what do you mean normal font? black font? Were all using black letters here...
