I made a patch that changes some names on the Pokémon HGSS (U) ROMS. NOW WITH AP FIX!

Screens:

List of changes:

Trainer names:

Ethan -> Leo (Both Kotone and Hibiki are sound related, Leo means sound in hawaian)
Ariana -> Athena (Original (J) Name)
Archer -> Apollo (Original (J) Name)
Proton -> Eta (His original name was Lance, I followed the greek theme and gave him a greek letter name)
Petrel -> Epsilon (As the original names started with the same letter (Athena Apollo, Lamba Lance) I gave him another greek name with E)
Kirk -> Mania (Original name from G/S)

Items:

Jade Orb -> Green Orb (Following Blue and Red orbs)
Berry Pots -> BerryPlanter (Original (J) Name)
Dowsing MCHN -> Item Finder (Original G/S Name)
GB Sounds -> GB Player (Original (J) Name)
Apricorn Box -> ApricornCase (Original (J) Name)

Places:

Bellchime Trail -> Bellchime Path (Based on the Original (J) Name)
Bell Tower -> Tin Tower (Original G/S Name)
Frontier Access -> Frontier Front (Original (J) Name)
House of Memories -> Soul House (Original G/S Name)
Embedded Tower -> Hidden Tower (Original (J) Name)
SLOWPOKE Well -> Slowpoke Well (Removed the CAPS)
Mystri Stage -> Triad Stage (Original (J) Name)


Mottos:

Ecruteak City
A Historical City -> The Past Meets the Present (Based on the Original from G/S)

Goldenrod City
A Happening Big City -> A City of Opulent Charm (Based on the Original from G/S)

Saffron City
Shining Big City -> Gold Land of Commerce (Based on the Original from G/S)

Lavender Town
The Noble Town -> The Noble Purple Town (Original from G/S)

Viridian City
The City of Evergreen -> The Eternally Green Paradise (Based on the Original from G/S)

Pallet Town
A Pure White Beggining -> A Setting of Peace and Purity (Based on the Original from G/S)

Cerulean City
The Floral Lagoon City -> A Nice Blue Aura Surrounds It (Based on the Original from G/S)

Fuchsia City
Happening and Passing City -> Behold! It's Passion Pink! (Original from G/S)

Celadon City
City of the Rainbow's Colors -> The City of Rainbow Dreams (Original from G/S)

Cinnabar Island
The Ravaged Town of the Past -> The Town of Burning Desire (Based on the Original from G/S)

Pewter City
Between Rugged Mountains -> A Stone Gray City (Original from G/S)

Other changes:

Pokéathlon -> Pokéthlon (Original (J) Name)

When you receive the Pokégear from your mom, when she asks if you remember how to use the phone, if you answer YES, she now says: "I thought so, children become smarter and smarter each day!" (It's better since it makes sense now)

If you lose a battle it says "Player whited out" instead of "Blacked out" (Original from G/S).

The old man in front of the Burned tower now mentions the real name of it, the Brass Tower. (Original from Crystal)

Removed the CAPS from "BILL'S PC" and "SOMEONE'S PC", so it keeps the style of "Player's PC".

Patch Download

Patching method inside the ZIP, for SoulSilver read READMESILVER.txt and for HeartGold read READMEGOLD.txt

That's you thinking, so, just don't download it, this topic represents 0.00001% of this forum size, why don't you just post on the other 99.99999% of places so?

I'm sorry but this stupid.

No, you stupid.



I was a bit pissed too when I realized Nintendo messed up with some names, specially the Rocket Executive names (AFAIK, all of them had names of rockets which existed IRL).

I also raged a bit when I saw the tower where Ho-Oh was was now named Bell Tower. :|

A bit useless IMO. I'm not going to patch my ROM to change some silly names..

Well, the rom gets 10mb smaller and all cheats work on it =p. No I didn't trim the rom, the unused space gets cut automatically =p.

Hey Master Emerald, although I won't be patching the game with this.... it's a great concept.
P.S. It's not that I don't want to, I just can't lol *flashes RETAIL copy*, well I never cared about the names anyways

Funny, although kinda useless. Nintendo did fail in not keeping to the old names here.
The good thing about FR/LG was that in the part that was in the original games, the text was 99.9% the same as in the original.
In HG/SS they just changed too much. Not that they aren't great games, but patches like this help get that authentic feeling back.

Seeing DemonBart's avatar made me think... Does this patch walk ?

More seriously, I hope we'll get something similar for French versions, seeing how bad names are on it (yeah, it's even worse than Ethan/Lyra/Rockets' names).
Then play the English version. Your english is obviously good enough. And this patch probably walks, yes.

[nitpickery]And it's Demonbart, not DemonBart

There is no point, this is even more useless than fake AP fix threads.

If you want authentic feeling why not just play Pokemon G/S...
This is HG/SS not G/S

and also:
SLOWPOKE Well -> Slowpoke Well -> LOL
