from playing it on crystal i think the first 6 or 7 gems were quite easy to get to eg. not many hard puzzles you had to go through.  This may help stimulate putting most of those paths in there and modifying the unknowns or I like your idea of using braille.  I think nintendo used it in one of there later games, maybe ruby?  Anyways keep up the hard work.

hello

i can confirm that ruby/sapphire and emerald made use of the braille signs. they did this at the puzzles of the regi's. at younger age i was wondering what signs that were, since i never got experience with blind people and their signs. but now i am blind myself i know that that was braille.

@daigonite

I am very, very glad you are in the race again and will continue the development of braillemon. I followed this topic with great interest and was feeling sorry to hear about your personal issues.
I am very glad you're back and i check this topic every day.

keep up the good work.

but only one question. is the soundpol bug, what happened in this version at certain points like mount moon, already fixed? since i can't believe that version 1.4.0.0 has been released this april. that was much earlier wasn't it?

hope to hear from you soon.

Braille in the original Ruby/Sapphire games were used as a sort of ancient language. For people who don't know really anything about braille it looks like a secret language or something, especially since there are modifier characters that don't exist in regular print.

File size isn't really a concern (I'm going to be frank, if I had the time I could trim Braillemon's file size quite a bit, although that would take a long time to fix some really ugly code back when I first started). The concern is more to do with the "fluidity" of the game. You want to keep all your old Pokemon that you raised throughout your adventure, but at the same time, you also want to meet new regions with a lot of challenge. I can provide that challenge by making it so that post game trainers use a level determined by the average of your pokemon party, but once you hit level 100, all you can really do is go back to raising old Pokemon again. This basically means that most of the challenge is lost if you extend the game too far.

However, if I add online content and provide additional Pokemon and Moves in the regions of Kanto and Johto (and possibly the Sevii Islands) combined it would add a lot of content. At that point though I may aim to provide a donation based subscription service since that's going to require me to start getting hardware for servers and stuff.

One possible idea is to use the Sevii Islands instead as a place to have Hoenn Pokemon, although I will need to insert all of the new Hoenn moves first, as well as update all movepools to adjust. Maybe throw in some new TMs as well. There's also the possibility of online pokemon distribution, which also allows me to release Pokemon with hidden abilities (which is already programmed in the game) or with really good moves (Destiny Bond Prankster Murkrow will be the bane of any opponent's existence)

Destiny Bond makes it so that the next attack that faints the Pokemon that used Destiny Bond right after the move's activation faint.

So basically, if I use Destiny Bond, and the other Pokemon uses an attack that causes me to faint, they faint too. But if I use another move after that, it clears Destiny Bond, so if I use Destiny Bond, and the attack doesn't kill me, and then next turn I use something else, if I faint, the enemy won't faint.

Think of it as their "destinies are bound together", so if one is "destined" to faint, the other one does too.

Prankster is a hidden ability that gives added priority to status moves like Destiny Bond so that it will many times move first if the user has priority. Think a move like Quick Attack, but for all status effect moves. Pretty damn broken if you ask me.

Okay, I can understand that.

When you think about it, Hoenn and Sinnoh would work well together, as they're still in the same island group, sort of. Unova has two sets of games set after one another, so that wouldn't be a problem. Given how long that would make it, I'd suggest Kalos get its own game, but that would mean waiting forever for Kalos mons, and there's no region to pair it up with...yet. by the time you get to that, there'll probably be at least one new generation, though, so who knows?

It would be kinda cool if you could set it up so a player could trade with themselves without having to be online, though that might be too much to hope for. If data files with the single Pokémon in them aren't that big, though, it wouldn't be that much of a problem.

Hi all, I'm stuk on braillemon. I don't know how to use bagges abilities, like cutting trees or flash ability. what I Have to do?

and where can I learn this move? I'm stuck at survilian city, and I can't go back. on route 4 is a tall grass part, and I can't go back. I need some help. thancs!

Okay, have you beaten the Cerulean gym? If you have, go up to Route 24/25. Hopefully you beat your rival up there and the trainers on those routes, and got the SS Ticket from Bill, 'cause you're gonna need it.
Done all that? Okay, next to the entrance to Route 24, there's a house. If you haven't beaten Misty in the gym, there's someone blocking the way to the house. If you have beaten Misty, the guy's gone, so go into the house. There's been a robbery and people are freaking out. Go through the back exit and you'll get jumped by a Team Rocket grunt. Beat him, and you'll get a tm for Dig.
Done that? Okay, now go as far right as you can in the yard behind the house, then move down. Stick to the wall like glue, because there's a ledge a couple tiles to your left, and if you jump down it, you have to go all the way back up to the house from the Pokémart. At one point, there'll be a tree and traffic sounds to your immediate right, but ignore them for now.
When you can't go down any further, turn left, and you'll start hearing traffic pretty soon. When you're right on top of it, you've reached the entrance to Route 5! Go down to get onto it, find the entrance to the Underground path, follow that to Route 6. Beat the trainers you'll meet there and head on into Vermillion City.
Your objective here is to get Cut. This is why the SS Ticket was important. It lets you onto the SS Anne, the ship moored in the Vermillion harbour. It's tricky to get to, but it's at the bottom of the map, so keep looking for ways down until you can't go down any more.
Beat all the trainers on the ship, including your rival, then enter the Captain's cabin. He's miserably seasick. Help him and he'll give you the Cut HM in gratitude. Teach it to one of your Pokémon who can learn it the same way you do with TMs, keep that mon in your party, and voila! You can use Cut to get rid of them pesky trees! One's blocking the way to the Vermillion gym, so you can't beat that before you finish the SS Anne. It is very important that you beat all the trainers on the SS Anne before helping the Captain, because once he's recovered, the ship sails, and that's several excellent opportunities for money and experience lost! The beds on the SS Anne will heal you, so you don't have to leave until you're done.
I also recommend you catch an extra Spearrow to trade for the Farfech'd in one of the houses in Vermillion. If you teach Cut to that, none of your main team members will have to sacrifice a move slot.

Hope this helped!

Edit: Ninja'd by the creator. Leaving this here in case it helps anyone because it took a while to write up.

I was wondering if you would throw a dousing machine in the game eventually to find all the hidden items in the game?  That would be cool and then you could create achievements on how many items a person has found and maybe win event pokemon like you described earlier like pokemon with different abilities.

Thancs for the help. Now the rock tunnel is cheating me. I will give it another try. the Rock pokemon is great. I have another question, how to evolve a pokemon? My charmender evolved when I beated the leader with the boulder bagge. But whant to evolve Picacu too.Sorry for my bad tiping for pokemon names.

For those interested in the Nuzlocke Challenge: it has its own wiki with a lot more detail than the Bulbapedia page.
