Made this account just to give feedback. Obviously great work and I love it. Played through once, though I encountered a bug where Mirror B stopped appearing and I couldn´t actually finish the game. In that playthrough, I forgot to heal after training and lost in the first battle with him. He kept appearing with the shadow pokemon I missed but I never saw the shadow Ludicolo again. He just stopped appearing I even used cheats to multiply steps but still a no show. I know the cheat worked since the pokeradar would go off and pokemon would be purified but Mirror B was gone. I then talked to the man in the lab who tells me about the shadow pokemon i caught and he responded by giving me congratulations on catching Ho-oh and that I had caught all shadow pokemon. Obviously I didn´t catch all of them so I was confused. Best thing I could come up with is that even though it says Ho-oh, completion of catching all shadow pokemon is still linked to Dragonite. And since Dragonite is linked to Mirror B he stopped showing up after I caught it. The game was treating it as if I had all the Shadow Pokemon already. I checked at the bar in Gateon Port where Mirror B. is found after the last battle with him but he wasn´t there either. The version i´m using is 1.0.4 but I downloaded it in May so if there were changes to that version but not an actual update, I probably missed it. Needless to say I started over and made sure to catch Ludicolo this time just in case.
Another bug I found was that double kick did not break sturdy I don´t know about other multi-hit moves. Not a huge deal it just meant I had to take another turn to overkill a Geodude. (Dropped a +2 Iron Head on it´s face)
Noticed inconsistencies where Surf now hits all three pokemon but Bulldoze doesn´t even though Earthquake and Magnitude already did from the start. Probably something you´ve heard before though.
Psybeam uses Confusion´s animation. Also a suggestion to change Aqua Jets animation to look more like Waterfall. Maybe a combination of the start of quick attack and the end of waterfall? Water Spout just doesn´t seem right for it.
Just general feedback here. I skimmed over the thread and know you´ve heard this several times so I won´t stay on it long. Repeats. Not a bad idea at all. But what I would have done differently is make all the repeats pokespot encounters so the shadow pokemon (Bagon, looking at you) could be something different. I read and understand you´re reasoning but I´m not going to use a Larvitar or Bagon when I know by the time they fully evolve that there´s a Salamence and Tyranitar right around the corner. But I know you´re working on hack tools so people can change those kinds of things to their liking which is awesome.
I loved the name changes which is something I saw people complain about a few times. Let´s face it the Orre region (which in itself is a pun on gen 3 games being named after ores) was not good at naming their people. I always hated ¨Sylvia¨ so making her dialogue even more annoying was great since it gave me yet another reason to hate her.
Also love the Duel Square Ev trainers. It took me a couple of wrong battles to figure out which was which. I just assumed the bodybuilder would be attack but he ended up being sp.def.
All in all I´m satisfied with the hack. I´ve played Colosseum and Xd dozens of times and they never get old too me. This hack has the same if not better replay value to me. As the first Xd hack I would say that it definitely made a good first impression. The only thing I genuinely dislike about it is that Mt.Battle seems to be type-oriented with every area focusing on one type. I always save Mt.Battle for the post game since going during the story makes you severely OP if you aren´t careful, and since I haven´t had a proper post game yet I haven´t gone past what they showed me in the story so I´m not sure if it is like that all the way through. And if it is, its not a huge problem. I just feel as though it kind of limits the pokemon you can use in each area and would probably get boring with having to use super-effective teams and moves and OHKOing your way to the end. With that aside though I love the hack and think its amazing. And I´m glad to see a version 1.0.7 update coming soon. Honestly thank you for the amazing work.
