Wow, I acutally finished the game! I saved like every 5 minutes (and lemme tell ya, it took FOREVER to find a way saving after the 4th badge) and used a shitload of codes (don't look at my like that, I spend hours training my precious latias and then crash and lose 7 freaking levels? If that doesn't call for cheating I don't know what does) but I finished it! Including the kanto part, which was where the ugly head of map/pokegear crash lifted it's head - but hey, if ya avoid flying and answering your phone, it's all good.
Also the battle frontier still rocks.
Anyway, thanks ALOT Kazo, I translate things for a living, so I know translating is a shitty work, and I really appreciate being able to play this game (I dunno what I would have done without the translation, I'm one of those EV training geek, so I need my english stats!). Silver's sprite is so gay, isn't it? (Also much love for gym leader blue, finally a challenge!)
Can't wait for Spring '10.
EDIT: Right, no matter what anyone will say, for me he'll always be good old blue, an annoying stalk-ish jerk that waltzes in, challange you when your poke are dying, poisoned, paralyzed and out of pp, and waltzes out snickering. Goddamn asshole, now THAT'S a proper rival (I'm looking at YOU, "Barry", you cheap rip-off). "Green" just doesn't cut it, you know?
