1 and 2 are related; what you're encountering definitely is an unintentional bug, but I can't reproduce it on my end. I also haven't tinkered with anything that I believe would impact that. That's not to say that the bug doesn't exist, but I can't get it on my end. Generally, I like to ask if...

Hi, you made it that far already, so you definitely can beat this as well! Some good strategies could be sunny weather, Sturdy, Assault Vest, Unaware, or even Focus Sash.

There's nothing wrong with a mostly Ubers team, especially when most of the E4 is Ubers themselves! And yeah...that Team Aqua multi-battle was intentionally pretty one-sided haha. I'm personally surprised Dracovish wasn't able to revenge kill + chunk the next mon; there are a good amount of...

1 - Correct, you can't rematch Trainers, although there are some new Trainers here and there to battle (mainly tied to side quests). 2 - Amulet Coin, as with vanilla Emerald, is obtained after beating Norman and talking to your Mom. However, I think money is not as big of a deal provided you to...

In testing, I used Mega Ray/Mewtwo/Banded Rillaboom/Sash Cloyster. I imagine as more legendaries are added, there will be more viable strategies; even between us two, our teams for the run were quite different. It sounds like you're doing all of the right things! One of the key things is...

I did some pretty cursory testing on Challenge Mode just to make sure it was doable; I knew if each individual fight was doable, then (logically) there are comps that could conquer it. Mainly, things like hyper offense (Scizor, Banded Rillaboom). Challenge Mode was actually implemented before...

Nothing wrong with your strategy, especially given the odds! I know of a few people that people Challenge Mode, but I also haven't really seen the teams that have done it. I think your writeup provides valuable insight for anyone looking to try it themselves. Also, happy to see you also found...

If my understanding of your situation is correct, did you return to Littleroot at any point to speak with Prof. Birch and register him in your PokeNav? In any case, I've put out a patch that prevents interacting with Birch from blocking out Looker. However, for your file to work properly, I'll...

THANK YOU SO MUCH this was a huge flaw; I'm actually surprised others didn't run into the same issue (or they did and escaped somehow haha). Anyway, I've released patch 1.11c, which adds a button on this side of the gate so players don't get trapped. Thank you so much for making me aware of...

I've updated your save; just to clarify, you applied v1.11 to a clean Trashman, right? Anyway, I've gone ahead and set the corresponding stuff that needs to be set, so NPCs that are supposed to be hidden will be hidden accordingly. The only thing I couldn't do is have one of the new quests...

Hi, I just tested this on a clean save and I can't reproduce the issue. Basically, the way this particular interaction works is that as soon as you enter the map, you will always be locked into a scripted sequence until you defeat the Rockets. Did you try using any cheats, did you use the patch...

Everyone has different "hardest" fights, which I find interesting, but yeah that little gauntlet can be pretty rough without the right setup. In terms of vanilla Emerald postgame, the extent to which you can experience right now is just Groudon and Kyogre. The additional postgame stuff are the...

Hi, for basically all of the trade evos, you only need the Linking Cord! This can be bought at Slateport City. You can reference the evolution document on the drive to see how to evolve all of the mons! Ah, that is so lovely to hear, thank you for the kind words! So, because of your message, I...
