Download Description Disruption ROM Hack

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

Revision History ________________________________________________________________________________ 0. DESCRIPTION When browsing the field menu's items list, a description of the item under the cursor will gradually fill the panel above the list. For equippable items, the player may "double-click" on the item to display its details screen (showing the item's elemental strengths and weaknesses, lists the applicable characters). If the player enters the details screen before the item's description has finished filling the upper panel, the description's text stream will halt midway and remain incomplete until the player exits the details screen and moves the cursor away from the item. This patch ensures that an item's description continues to fill the upper panel uninterrupted even as the player navigates to the equippable item details screen. ________________________________________________________________________________ 1.
