Does anyone know how to access the light green battle subway? Every time I go into the light green line, they tell me to leave. To my knowledge, you need to be able to complete the dark green line before entering the light green line. I can complete the first set of 7 matches. However, then I crash when I try to get back onto the dark green bus. Is there a trick to it?

Note: I'm using DeSmuME as my emulator. What are you guys using? (for the people who are having no issues)

You need to beat the subway master in the dark green line first. You might get lucky and encounter him within the first seven matches, but it took me about 28 rounds.

News on the Battle Subway.

Apparently, you only freeze on the normal Dark Green line of the Battle Subway. At least, so far...I've played through the Light Green Line (Harder Single Battle's) and haven't experienced any freezing, and I've fought the toddler. Another poster posted that he went through 28 Battles as well, and hasn't encountered any freezing either. I just lost so I didn't get past 8 Matches...but I'll play some more to experiment this theory.

Is there a remedy for the incredibly annoying and frustrating Battle Subway freeze? Someone a few posts ahead of me said it has something to do with the names. Will it work without freezing if I change the language to Kanji before going to the Subway? I'm lucky so far, with 28 wins in the Super Single Line. I don't want to keep going and have it freeze on me

Just leave when you see the toddler.

I've known how the Subway crash happens for awhile. It has something to do with the English names and that little kid.

Yep, I remember looking into the issue too. Is it likely that there might be a fix? Or is it something ingame that can't really be dealt with?

It's working fine for me but I am doing the singles section. What part did it freeze at?

Edit - Just got a freeze / crash on the 8th round in singles, I am using the Kata patch with black + rudolph's union room fix (patch ver. 2) but it could have been a one off (I hope so).

It was a blue screen crash.

Yep, it was the blue screen crash for me too. How unfortunate.

Tried going through the Battle Subway and it froze immediately.

Using Akaio 1.8, Patch V4, and Rudolph V2. I'll look around for a solution.

I guess I'll give the battle subway a run then. I haven't seen the battle subway in the "errors" section either.

I'm not sure if this issue has been fixed or not (haven't touched black after V3 released), but is the battle subway issue dealt with? Or is it an impossible fix and the issue remains when fighting the toddler?

I'm not looking for an update to the V3 Release, however, is it possible to release a "bug-fix" patch? Most of these bugs have been around since V2 release and it would help to release something that makes such patches work smoother. For example, the V2 Patch is helpful (when it comes to TM's, Pokedex, etc.) but the fact that money and BP points don't appear isn't something that should be held off until the next patch (which is at an unknown release date IIRC)...

Of course, this post is probably in vain, but I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Having to switch to V1 for purchasing items, and having to switch to Japanese for Battle Subway, and so forth isn't ideal. Just my two cents.

Well I just fought N in Karakuso Town (start of Pokemon Black) and the game froze on me. Before it didn't seem to freeze before, might be an issue you want to look into.

*Shoots in Head* Sunday lol. Great job man, must say I was getting a bit worried when everyone seemed to be worrying about everything BUT the story. Guess I'll be waiting till Sunday. Wonder what I'll do in the meantime lol.

Also I would love a White Patch as well, because I think it has the better legend. I am also excited for the Pokemon obtainable in White Forest =D.

I have also completed Route 1. Everything is translated up to the point where Bell ask if you caught any Pokemon and you get the call on your Live Caster. That is back in Japanese. Also the girl in the last house before you exit the town along with her dad who gives you the Pokeball is also still in Japanese. Other than that fine and looking beyond great. =D.

Like Velocity said, I played through the Battle Subway with a clean rom (exp patched as well), and everything went perfect. It could be the english patch...

Maybe...I still haven't tried without the English Patch in general. But I'll get around to testing that later. I'll post on GBA Temp to see if I can get some answers.

Never mind unfortunately it just froze again. On the contrary will there be anyway to bypass this?

@Velocity

The Kata Theory was correct with the battle subway crashes. I downloaded the V2 Patch with Kata names and the Battle Subway played as it would normally. With no freezes what-so-ever.

Think it's possible to somehow bypass the edit check, and make it so that the names can appear in English, but don't freeze the Battle Subway? Also, the BP (like the Pokedollars) don't show when trying to buy something.

I feel like the patch is fine. I wasn't disappointed at all, not even with the typo. Like you said before perfect English isn't necessary. My common sense kicked in automatically anyways. I love what your doing because truth be told this may be the only time I get to play Pokemon considering I can never afford to buy it.

Thanks man and keep going. LoL.

So there's only 2 real bugs left now?

Someone posted the issue of the Battle Subway on GBA Temp. A user explained that the game detects edits of any kind, being as that the names are edited into English, he stated that, that was the issue. I have yet to test this, but does it seem plausible? A similar issue occurs with Wi-Fi and edited pokemon.

I'll possibly test this theory later on.

I finally got Git up and running, now I can update my own fork

Meaning?

Well it was a good attempt, thanks for trying anyway

For a suggestion, you should start by just translating all the towns ( if you are able to locate particular events and places in the story).

Well you know what at the speed your going at you'll be there in no time.

Btw what part are you up to now???

If you don't mind can you translate what the girl ask you in the building in the first city.

Velocity, have you gotten any luck off the Battle Subway issue? If you need any help, I'll be glad too in any way I can.
