They're not "unofficial," they're just different romanizations that make more sense given the flower theme. (But in the case of Belle, Arty, and Getis, they're just romanizations that I personally find better, so I'll give you that.) I don't really mind if people want to change them as long as they end up consistent.

Also, here are the names that are longer than 10 characters and suggested shortenings:

FUTACHIMARU -> FUTACHMARU

CHILLACCINO -> CHILLACINO

GOCHIRUZERU -> GOCHIRZERU

SHIBISHIRASU -> SHIBISHIRAS

(And I'm fairly sure that even if you load a save in a version that gives it a different name, even an un-nicknamed Pokemon will retain its old name because of how un-nicknamed Pokemon actually work.)

Alright, well, I suppose I'll give you that. Fact is, we are going to have to choose consistent names or this will severely confuse people.

And I know you browse this thread VERY frequently, vgboy.. Yet, it's almost impossible for us to contact you regarding the project. If you would stop by in the irc channel every once in a while, that would help.

The channel is: https://03.chat.mibbit.com/?url=irc%3A%2F%2Firc.bitsjointirc.net%2FBWTranslation

is this on the v4 or unofficial v5?

Probably the unofficial v5, and the reason for this is because with vgboy's updates, he put in a lot of the unofficial english names.

Hey guys, awesome work! Especially thanks to vgboy and the guy who uploaded the unofficial V5. What I'd like to ask though is whether it is normal or not that the rom I get after patching it with Rudolphs and the English-patch, is freezing randomly every few minutes. Almost everything is in english, which is awesome, but it sucks to see the game randomly freezing on Desmume. Haven't tried it on Flashcart, though, could be worth a try.

Interesting, but I see it works on your cart (As you said in later post).. so I have no idea.

does the names of the Pokemon in V5 are in English names?

Not entirely sure on that, but I'm sure they will release the Kata version and the regular.

Progress update: I just updated my repository, and I'm fairly sure that I've inserted everything I have in the script, with the exception of a couple of post-game things. So in theory, 100% story. But I could be wrong.

(I'm guessing the unofficial patch below uses my repository as it was a couple hours ago, which was up to the Ancient Castle. So that's still most of it, and the Elite Four onward has been there for a while.)

Of course, there are still plenty of untranslated trainers and other NPCs on the way. (The massive file with all trainer dialogue should have all the plot-required ones, but is around 20% done overall.) From now on, I'll probably be testing linearly, making sure things fit in the boxes and that pretty much EVERYTHING I can find is translated. (Before I went all out to insert the plot today, that process was complete up to Sky Arrow Bridge, though there was a designer's house in Shippo which I couldn't find the file for.)

It is up to ancient castle. I'll update with what you have now. Thanks vgboy.

Also, there is an irc channel that we can talk in.. it's on one of the first three posts of this thread.

EDIT: I'm looking at these updates, and wishing I never beat him to translating it. rofl.

He re-did some of the stuff I already did for him a couple days ago.

EDIT2: Looks like not all of my translating was worthless, still have the top part of story/0000/0166.txt!

EDIT3:

Here it is.

UNOFFICIAL V5, with vgboy's supposed 100% update

Credit to this update, obviously to vgboy. Thanks!

NOTE: This is going to be my final update to the unofficial patches.. You're going to have to wait until the OFFICIAL V5 for anything more updated than this!

If it does, awesome! If not, it's still awesome. Either way, at the rate this is going, it seems like at least a ROUGH translation of the game should be done before 2011. I could be wrong but, with so many people on the project, Id be very surprised if i was.

*DISCLAIMER: I am totally guessing based on past progress. Dont get your hopes up. At least progress is progress, even if it never gets done, what we have is STILL amazing.

I just went through and combined vgboy's and soneek's repo's into a combined repo with the most updated stuff.. I would say the MAJORITY of the story is done. We are expected to have 100% done by the 31st with V5. If there is a V6, then it will just probably be fixes and revisions to V5. Progress has been going excitingly fast since vgboy joined the project.

On a side note..

Why the heck not..

An update to my previous unofficial patch.

Credit to the update is to soneek and vgboy mainly. I grabbed both their repo's and combined them for the most updated stuff. Manually went through each file..

Perhaps I patched it wrong then. Hmm...

Something was mentioned about checking off boxes? Where are these located? I didn't encounter any while patching. Or did you mean the options in the options in-game menu, cause thats on "Normal" for english.

There shouldn't be any problem with the patch, I would either try patching it again, or going to the 5th option down in game, switching it to kanji, then back to english. Sometimes that works. You may need to exit the options menu and come back to it to change it to english again.

Hmm, glad to see people are actually using the patch? Didn't take but a second to make.. but I'm glad at least some people enjoy it. Even if it is unofficial.

A quick question, is the Game ID the same as previous versions?

Funny you should ask that, it seemed to differ slightly when I used the rom with cheats on my AK2i clone.

I'm not going to put a change log, because it's unofficial. I have no idea, see for yourself.

Can we post unofficial patches? If so..

Credits go to everyone listed on the second post of this thread..

Enjoy, I guess.
