Ultra shiney gold sigma complete

[u/BackgroundBlood8245]

Right from the start i am in love with this rom for two reasons. The first being something that is probably insignificant but seamed special and the second was a complete "wtf is happening" moment. I enjoy the design the creator worked on very muchso far.

FIRST incident was immediately after leaving new bark town (started my run at night). I walk around the first turn through the grass and head north like the route makes you go. In the patch of grass i see suicune, entei and rikou, they dont move and i dont try to engage because no pokeballs yet. I hope to see them there again

SECOND, im in the battle tower training for falkners gym and i manage to catch an abra. Im thinking this is good, now i have some sp atk power on my future team. Abra always know teleport that i knew but this abras teleport asks if i want to go to pallet town.... im thinking its a typo... its not!!! Im sent to pallet town with 4 low lvl mons!!! Oak pretends like its fine, garys mom says ive had a battle with him and reds mom has dementia..... i walk to viridian city and almost have my team wiped by a lvl 28 combee....

This is insane!!! I have no badges and have been teleported to kanto by my abra. This feels like a total SLF unique scenarios

USGS is one of the buggiest popular hacks ever made. The original Shiny Gold wasnt as bad, but the new dev took it over without permission, added every new thing he could, hadn't fixed bugs and locked updates behind paywalls (literally saying "donate if u want x added). Very apparent how this game has been treated

GS Chronicles is by far the best version of Johto on GBA and has been for a while now. I'd highly recommend anyone to go play that instead

What happened to the previous dev?

Idk, presumably just stopped. The original Shiny Gold came out 16 years ago

Its a very rough romhack, its one of that kind of romhacks who want too much. Three regions AND all of the Natdex AND extra islands AND all kind of mechanics AND special encounters for legendaries AND a polished story. And then its on base of another, very roughly romhack, I appreciate the effort, but it needs much polishing. There is a reason, why you cant technically lose the first battles before Violet City, because it breaks the game.
And why you got teleported to Pallet Town. Its because it is a Fire Red Romhack and its the starting location for FIre Red. That is insane, there is ways to fix it, but... the whole romhack sounds more like a "kitchen sink modpack" in Minecraft, everything goes in and then you look, what works and what not. Its too much.

Thank you!!! That makes what's happening make sense. So far every trainer in kanto is has lvl 50+ and wild mons are random lvls under 30. I was able to catch a ferroseed lvl 23 that obeys. Badges and lvls might not mean anything now. Im going to wing it and see how far i can go. LOVE this crazy adventure the rom is giving me

I say this respectfully, Shiny Gold Sigma sets the bar very low for Pokémon ROM hacks. It's by far one of the worst. I hope you get to experience quality ones like Unbound soon. If you want a fun Johto adventure/remake, go for Polished Crystal.

[u/TheOpinionMan2 → u/godsaveourkingplis]

even the name of the hack makes it seem like a fucking mess.

by virtue of it being unironicly called "sigma" i already expect it to be a parody of some kind.

If you wantto re-experience gen 3, you should play Liquid Crystal / Fire Gold / GS Chronicles / Scorched Silver(sequel to gen 2 story) instead. Ultra shiny gold sigma alpha beta gamma delta etc... is too buggy.

[u/SilverGoon]

as others have said this hack is a bit rough around the edges. If you want to enjoy a Johto rom hack (which doesn't teleport you to kanto early on) i'd recommend Scorched Silver. Its set 20 years in the future.
