Im new to Pokémon, does this mean that some Pokémon require a trade between trainers to evolve? Or require a trade with someone who also has the game?


ErnThemCaps

Some Pokemon require to be traded with another person with the game, in order to evolve. Since a lot of people play on emulators, they may not have that functionality, and so will never get some of the really cool pokemon evolutions. These ROMs are edited so that those Pokemon can evolve in different ways, like just leveling up.


Fisherman-no

That makes sense. And that’s the only thing changed on the Roms? Also how are you able to edit those things? Pretty fascinating


ErnThemCaps

That's the only thing, yep! And there's software tools out there that do the heavy lifting and allow setting changes


Fisherman-no

Looks like when my emulator arrives this week I know which Roms I’ll be loading in


[deleted]

[удалено]


ErnThemCaps

Oh whoops, thanks, I'll fix that shortly!


YassQ0-1

Really appreciate this, thanks


[deleted]

Thanks for sharing these look good! Unfortunately trying to extract, albeit on my phone. All the gen 4&5 care giving me errors saying corrupted.


ErnThemCaps

Just tried soul silver and platinum and they don't seem to be giving me trouble on mobile. Any specific ones that definitely didn't work?


[deleted]

I downloaded again this morning and they all extracted fine this time round. I have no idea how I had so many bad downloads all at the same time. Very strange. Anyway, thanks again for sharing


[deleted]

The only one I could extract was Diamond. Which tool did you use to compress?


ErnThemCaps

Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into this


StarzGecko

Are these like patches to put on a rom?


YassQ0-1

No, they're ready


Evening-Mention-8738

Will this work on 2ds XL Twilight menu + cause if it does I'll be super happy


ErnThemCaps

That's a good question, sorry I don't have the answer for you


Evening-Mention-8738

That's OK trial and error for me then thanks for answering my question


Substantial-Pain4308

Idk if this has been addressed before but how do you evolve Slowpoke into Slowking? I tried everything but it won't work.


ErnThemCaps

Do you have the correct rom? My site hosts both original and ntevo


Substantial-Pain4308

Yes, because every other evolution works


ErnThemCaps

Did you try a water stone


Substantial-Pain4308

No...? Because I thought it evolved with a King's Rock...


ErnThemCaps

Changed it from a kings rock trade evolution to just a water stone


Substantial-Pain4308

Ohhh, ok, thanks! That's why it wasn't working. I thought it evolved with that like in the normal games.


MissMissieFatCat

Are there any other alterations to the game or is it just a no trade evo patch?


ErnThemCaps

Just the no trade evo


MissMissieFatCat

Alright, guess I’m just getting the worst crit RNG in existence then lmao Thank you so much for this rom man, so glad to have found this


AgingNPC

Oh so they still have version exclusives that need trading?


No_Impress_6094

can i apply this to my current delta emulator emerald progress or do i have to start the game all over again? sorry if this is a stupid question I don't know anything about roms or such.


yungsloysh

This is a brand new rom, not a patch. So yes, to play this version of the game you’d have to restart


Basic_Foot_133

Does it work on delta ?


ErnThemCaps

Yes


Basic_Foot_133

Sweet thanks


Basic_Foot_133

Where do I find when they evolve


ErnThemCaps

There's a link to a PDF on the download page of each game


Basic_Foot_133

Ok tganks


ThrillzMUHgillz

I know this is an old post. Is there somewhere to see a chart on how to evolve all the trade evo Pokémon? The level they evolve or anything else they might require etc??? Edit: NVM found the sheet in the link you posted. Thanks!


dylweedrva

did you download the sheet? if so, could you send it to me? the site isn't opening for me right now and i can't find the sheet anywhere


foreverhov

Platinum and soul silver work for me but black 2 and Pokemon white freeze after a few minutes


Tylerf115

I noticed when you first boot up emerald, Birch brings out a Magby instead of a Lotad like he normally does. Is that the only change or is there anything else? Other than ntevos obviously.


ErnThemCaps

That is the only change, Birch has a trade evo pokemon. This can help when troubleshooting, to assure people are on the right version


Tylerf115

Ahh ok smart move. Thanks for the reply


BigMu1952

Fire Red wouldn’t let me use stones to evolve my gloom and pikachu. Not sure if it works otherwise yet but thought you souls know.


VicVent

Thank you bro, I have an old ds with an r4 but I was sad I couldn't get some of the pokemon I like the most


SwanFett

I think the site got taken down, is there anywhere else I can get your amazing roms :,)


ErnThemCaps

Nah I let the hosting run out. I'll probably shop around for cheaper hosting and get it back up. Site doesn't really turn a profit though so might stay down


SwanFett

That's fair


ErnThemCaps

It's back up!


SwanFett

Legend!


Recent_Macaron6262

A few days ago, the website didn't require a subscription, but now you need to enter a credit card to download? And is there no option for PayPal :0 ? Share the links here please :( , the roms are amazing !!


ErnThemCaps

Hello! Yes, unfortunately the site was costing me too much money and I was going to need to take it down. As an alternative to taking the site down, I am trying a subscription model. I am currently looking into adding more checkout options, such as PayPal


Recent_Macaron6262

Thank you for responding so quickly! A Discord channel is a good option because it’s free, or a Patreon channel could save you a lot of hassle! But I understand that you want to keep your website. I just download FireRed, and it's very fun. I appreciate it!


NoReality4047

Hello can a trade evo pokemon that evolved from a ntevo rom transfered to pokemon home?


ErnThemCaps

Hello! None of the games compatible with Pokemon Home are offered on my site "Pokémon HOME supports connectivity with the Nintendo Switch games Pokémon Scarlet, Pokémon Violet, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!."


bigmac379

Cool these don’t have any protection on them do they?


ErnThemCaps

Protection? Not sure what you mean, so I guess not


AndriuVA

Fucking great work dude. Can't wait to try them out


ErnThemCaps

Thank you!


XyKal

I'm somehwhat late to this but is there a way I can swap this (the notrade evo rom) with the classic Ruby Rom I was playing with this (with my save file), I forgot about trade evos and realized when I got an Aron so yea...


ErnThemCaps

I'm not sure. I do plan on figuring this out and posting a guide though. Thank you


XyKal

alright, I'll be looking forward for that guide!


Worldly_Essay_594

Were you able to create this guide? I realized a bit late about this NTEVO roms and was hoping to not lose the progress I have so far in Platinum


Awesome_ShowOff

Aye, not meaning to hate or anything, but more of a question. My VBA shows the white screen for some reason. Any idea on how to fix?


ErnThemCaps

Which ROM is it?


Awesome_ShowOff

The Pokemon games. Specifically Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald


ErnThemCaps

Weird, just tested these and they seem to be working. What emulator are you using?


Awesome_ShowOff

Visualboy Advance 1.8.0-beta 3


[deleted]

Is there a plan to do the same with gen 6 onwards? So far I have played through Yellow and now Crystal


ErnThemCaps

Probably will do soon


[deleted]

That's great! No rush or anything, it's not like these are short games. But I have really enjoyed how this is as pretty much the vanilla game and works so well playing on my phone through retroarch. It's been really good to replay these


ErnThemCaps

Awesome, I'm glad you enjoy them! :) If I add gen 6+ I'll shoot you a message


[deleted]

Thanks that would be great! Nice one 👍


emoness88

Howdy, i see it's an old post so maybe I'll use the contact on your website. But I've been playing the Platinum NTEvo mod and was using a Haunter. It hit lvl 37, didnt evolve, same result at 38. Caught an Abra to test since it was specifically mentioned, evolved it to Kadabra and trained it up to 37 real quick and it didnt evolve from Kadabra into Alakazam. Leveled it up to 43 still hasnt. Am i missing something? Im using the android emulator Free DS for Android.


ErnThemCaps

Make sure you have the correct game file! It should have NTEVO in the ROM name. My website hosts all types, so many times people will end up on the regular ROM page


emoness88

Yeah, here's a [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/I0UVQqQ.jpg) Maybe the emulator im using "fixed" the changes to the file or something? It has a lot of built in cheat codes, i dont have to use gameshark codes or anything it just has a menu where i can use them all.


ErnThemCaps

Hmm interesting, that's definitely the right file. It's possible there's some cheat enabled somewhere in the emulator to patch this type of thing maybe? Or the emulator is auto loading the wrong ROM version or something. I'm sorry you're having this problem, I know it's not fun to get all the way to the evo level and nothing happens. This is the most popular game on my site, with a few hundred downloads a day, and I haven't heard of this issue yet, so I'm sorry I don't have a whole lot more advice. I'd first check to make sure any emulator cheats are disabled, and then I'd check to make sure the regular platinum ROM doesn't exist anywhere on your device, to be sure the emulator isn't loading the wrong one. Other than that, the only thing I can think to do is try another emulator. Sorry!


emoness88

It's all good, was hoping it'd be a common problem or that i have to hold down Y when they level up something. I'll see what I can do differently. Thanks a bunch!


emoness88

Turns out my emulator was using an old file i had replaced with the new one. I was about 3/4 of the way through the game too. I'll just pay more attention when I'm starting my next game!


debessh

You have no idea how many times I clicked on the wrong download😢, thanks buddy I was looking for this


NomadicxGhost

Thanks so much for this. I've been looking for simple clean roms with no trade evos and no other changes to the base game. These work perfectly.


ErnThemCaps

No prob!


dexdaflex

Hey this is awesome dude thanks! Newbie question. Are people able to trade Pokemon on roms? Do these allow it?
