Emerald hack: Pokemon R.O.W.E. - an Open World Version of Pokémon Emerald(Gen 8, Following Pokémon, Costumes and much More)

[rioluwott]

Hello! Great ROM hack! So far I'm having a blast! Although I would like to make a couple suggestions:

- Enable the DexNav in the Safari Zone.
- Remove the Own Tempo Rockruff and just make it so regular Rockruff can evolve to any of the 3 Lycanroc forms.
- Make more Pokémon like Noibat, Drilbur and Froakie available. Possibly by adding them as Hidden DexNav encounters or by expanding Hoenn's routes and/or dungeons.

I didnt know about the dexnav not working in the safari zone, it may be be because of the menu change between the normal and the safari zone, i have to take a look at that
while i know that rockruff evolution thing can be bothersome i dont know how would be a good way to make the 3 evolutions work at the same time, maybe by making rockruff level up at a certain location to get the orange lycanroc since removing the own tempo rockruff from the game will cause a lot of errors on some save files
regarding making new pokemon available in the game, hidden mons can make the game lag on some areas so adding a hidden pokemon everywhere is a no-go but maybe adding some more pokemon in areas with little diveristy(like water routes) may be a good idea
i have to make a list with all the unavailable pokemon at some point

Is it normal to get a black screen while opening the DexNav?
I'm using My boy btw.

it shouldn't be, where did you open the dexnav?

My bad. Looks like i.was playing an older version of the hack.
I updated and the problem is gone now.

Is it possible to edit the evolution method for midday and midnight Lycanroc to make room for the dusk evolution method? In other words, change the time requirement for EVO_LEVEL_DAY to only happen from 6am to 5pm in src/pokemon.c? (I'm rather new when it comes to decomp and i have little to no experience in C so please correct me if I'm wrong)
As for own tempo Rockruff, I think you should rather make it inaccessible.

while its possible, it will change all the evolution times for all the pokemon, not just rockruff. but it may be better that way

im glad, since that problem was difficult to fix.

Hey, did you increase Kricketot's evo level? I leveled it up, and it didn't evolve.

Edit: Game crashes when you open the PokeNav inside the Weather Institute

all the starters evolve at level 30 now, kricketune got a major boost too

Does this have gen 8 mons?

 

[RazBuckner]

Hi, is there any places to obtain other starters? I looked for Totodile and saw that it is supposed to be a hidden dexnav pokemon in the entrance to Shoal Cave during low tide. However, in the entrance, there are no hidden pokemon in the dexnav - all three entries are X's. Using mGBA 0.8.4, have not updated it since starting the save, and the save is made on the latest version of the hack.

Was also wondering if there was a place to obtain Litten, couldn't find it listed anywhere.

Yes, some gen 8 mons are available in this game

i found a problem regarding those hidden mons, i will fix them as soon as possible.
if litten is not on the pastebin then its not available in this version.

New Update 1.0.6 is out taking into account some recommendations i got from this thread
Changelog
-Added a lot of Pokemon to all the routes making a lot of new pokemon available for this game(mostly gen 8 pokemon)
-Edited some gen 8 evolution to make them evolve by level since the new evolution methods are not in this game
-Rockruff now can evolve to all the 3 forms by level depending of the time of your game, this makes all the pokemon that evolve in the day not able to evolve at 5pm-6pm
-Added an NPC on mauville telling you what update you have(the maniac next to the game corner)
-Some minor bug fixes

Raw Wild Encounter File(I will make it look better later on)

I got stuck on a wall upon entering the top floor of Devon Corporation and the only way out is back the way I came.

 

[RazBuckner]

Same here, also happens in the previous version (haven't tested the new version yet). Excellent update overall though!
Something else I haven't tested on the new version, but noticed on the previous version: All of Castform's forms are invisible, no sprite at all. Base form is still visible though.

Thank you for the update!! Now the pokemon availability is much wider than before (only about 90 evolutionary lines missing without the legendary pokemon), well done and keep it up!! I'm ready to bludgeon the pokemon league with a meme team!!

I haven't found bugs other than the 3 stars dexnav pokemon not giving 3 stats with 30+ IVs
just a question: is there a way to obtain Alolan Exeggutor and Galarian Weezing?
since they are evolved from regular pokemon

thank you for the feedback!!
have a nice day

 

[UrWrstN8Mare]

How do you evolve a Toxel? Is it just like the SwSh evolution?

Also, im having tons of fun with the rom hack so far!

Exeggcute evolves into Alolan Exeguttor with a Leaf Stone while holding a Strange souvenir, and Koffing into Weezing by leveling up to level 32(i think) while holding Strange Souvenir too but that item isnt available in the game yet, it will be as the next update

Toxel evolves by level since those evolution methods are not in the game yet

Great, thank you for the feedback!!
One more question, is the Destiny Knot in the game? (for breeding) Or are the breeding mechanics as they were in gen III?

thanksss
