btw I ran Discastia Patch and copied it to my AK2i and ran it... And now it's telling me about the data. Not sure what it entirely translates as, but I do know enough Katakana to read the word "data".
I assume a fix from the AKAIO team will be imminent?
You need to use the latest loaders (Dated 03/07/2012), not the default loaders that came with AKAIO 1.8.9z.
Yup. That seems to work. I've passed through the first 2 stages, but this game isn't easy without English. Although I am trying to make a semi-attempt at translating from what I see. Seeing as I don't know Hiragana or Kanji, this isn't easy.
From the main menu, you have Continue, New Game, Collection and Wireless stuff. Continue and New Game are obvious. Collection has the ability to show Pokemon (Button on the Left) and the Bushous Gallery (Button on the Right).You can get info on each of the Pokemon or the Bushous you have faced in the past from the two screens. I won't go in-depth about them because I cannot translate them. From what I do gather, though, there are 199 Pokemon in the game. On the top screen of the Pokemon Collection page, the top number represents Pokemon you have seen, the bottom is what you have (Used in battle or own, not too sure yet.) The Bushou screen has you and Oichi to start, but will fill up to it's 200 person capacity over the duration of the game.
The Wireless screens have three options at the start. The top button, Ikusa (Not sure what that translates as) has 2 Wireless options, I assume a send and a receive button of some sort. The second button, Download has a Wifi Download option for downloading extra content. The third one is your Wifi settings button.
Continue (Option on the top) will then tell you it is loading the data, then a confirmation screen will appear and you will soon see the world map. I'll give a brief explanation of the buttons I do know of so far.
Start Menu:
Top button (With the Pokeball) is your collection. See above for more info.
Second Button (With the Wrench) is your settings. They are (What I know)
-Message Speed
-Message (not sure)
-Sound
-(not sure)
-Anime Speed (I assume the speed at which the animations go)
-Camera Speed
The button in the bottom middle saves your changes, the B button returns without making any changes.
Third Option (With the Lock) is Password. IIRC, you unlock that later in the game, I'm not sure when though.
Fourth Option (With the Running Person) is Give Up. I assume that is the surrender button for use in battle.
Fifth Option (With the arrow pointing to the door) is Title Screen. Obvious what this does.
Sixth Option (With the sheet of paper and an arrow) is your Save button.
Your Y Button menu (Not sure what it translates as) is what I presume a list of Bushuos you can face at that given point in time. X appears to advance the time by one day, as the game works on a system of days and months.
Battling:
When you go to begin a battle, you'll see Oichi and yourself in the top left corner (Perhaps more if you've progressed) Tapping each of them will allow you to use them in a fight. Once you have picked your Pokemon, hit the button underneath to begin. If I am correct, the number that appears before the fighting starts is a number of turns allowed in the battle. To select a Pokemon, tap on them and you'll be given instructions. Anywhere a wavy blue tile is, you can move there. Once you've moved, you can stay there (top option) or attack if someone is nearby (bottom option). If you choose to attack, a wavy orange tile will show any place you can attack. However, I'm not sure on how you change your attacks. At any point in the battle, hold Y and press Left/Right to rotate the camera, or Up/Down for Zoom. You can also use Bushuo powers (Pressing X while you have the ability to chose where to move).
That's most of what I do know of gameplay so far. If anyone needs to correct this, feel free to.
