How to get Old Sea Map on ANY copy of pokemon Emerald EASY! (and other gen 3 Event in 2024) 

Yes i second this. worked on my authentic english copy of emerald 12/13/23

@@blatrielle all this is only possible with the GB Operator right?

Area 51 would like to know your location

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate the comment! Glad to have helped you out :) I had simliar experience as a kid, growing up with the anime/games. I picked it up again a few years ago and found a random shiny, after that I was hooked with shiny hunting lol. Good luck for you leaf green playthrough, if I remeber you can use this method to get Deoxys, Ho-oh and Lugia in LG. I'm currently going for a full national Living dex in emerald so, its taking its time but I'm getting there haha

Happy to have helped out :)

Hi, thanks for the comment. So in theory yes you should be able to, as long as you can upload the saved emerald game to your computer, then you can still use the WC3 tool to inject the items but you still need to have unlocked mystery gift in your game. From what I've seen from the ez flash device, it should be easy enough to put it onto your computer, or you could download an emerald rom online and play until you unlocked mystery gift then add it to your ez flash.

@@shinyhuntingguide sweet thanks. I wasnt sure because Im not super familiar with the tools you used. I'll probably try it out sometime soon. thanks again for the super informative vid!

Haha, that's true. Just cause it was first vid, I spoke in a slow and clear so people could understand me. I'll speed up my speech in future vids lol

@@shinyhuntingguide Well said, I didn't mean to offend ofc btw

@@Figgyee No offence taken, I thought it was funny 😄I listened to it at x1.25 and agree with you tbh. I appreciate the feedback

Okay, so when you start the game, can you see the mystery gift option, before you select your save? It should work, as long as it shows that on boot up, if it is and still not working, then I can try something else. Also is your game Ruby or Sapphire? It's a different code for them, I forgot to mention that in the video.

@@shinyhuntingguidethe game is emerald and yes I can see the mystery gift in the menu

@corux7503 Okay, that's interesting 🤔How about you email me a copy of that emerald rom and I'll try it out for you. My email is: Ibbyrulz@live.co.uk (I'll delete this comment when I see your email)

Hi, are you still having issues with this? If you are, I can help. For emerald, make sure to inject form the one the says "Mystery Events" and it should work, just make sure you collect the most recent mystery gift. If it's still not working, message back.

Hi, Thanks for the message. For the main events, all you need are the event items. In emerald, you need to beat the main story and go to Lilycove harbour where you can go to each area. I'm sure it's the same for RS and FRLG (Vermilion city). Using the method in the video, you can use English or Japanese games to get the items. I'm 99.9% certain you can transfer shiny english mew up to Home cause it doesn't check for language, only if it's been hacked in or not and technically it's a wild encounter hence it's legal. I plan on making a Shiny Mew video, so I will transfer my English shiny one in that video to show that it is possible.

Okay, so just to make sure you click: Offical Event distributor (bottom right) -> Load Save File -> Select your save of emerald -> Override region (top right) - > then switch to Japanesse. The Old sea map should then become available and you can inject and save after that. If it still dosen't work, I'll give you an email where you could send me a copy the rom and I'll try do it for you. Let me know, if you get it working.

@@shinyhuntingguide Hey, I ended up using pkhex to brute force the Old Sea Map essentially. I'm pretty sure it's required to beat the game for the Nat dex/mew event, yet I don't see a lot of people mentioning that, but I still appreciate the tutorial (currently shiny hunting mew now by following your vid!).

@@toshichoo Fair enough, yeah that always a method to get it on your game. As long as you got it working thats the main thing. So you can get the items before you unlock national dex but to do the events, you are right, its post game, I probably should have meantioned that in the vid. Good luck on you Mew hunt. Hope you get the blue fetus quick haha

Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the feedback. I do my best to make the videos as easy to follow as possible. I haven't tested this method on a MAC OS, but if I get the opportunity to test it out, I'll make another video to go along with this one. Regarding the save issue, I tend to save over the file I was using when injecting and saving on emulator, but I make a copy first, just in case there are errors. When you save your game on the ROM, then turn it off and back on again, does it load the most recent save or does it create a separate save? Also when injecting, are you adding one or multiple gifts at a time? It will only let you add a mystery gift if you have collected the previous one. If your still having issues, then let me know and I can help.

@@shinyhuntingguide Thank you for getting back to me, as I was saying your original video was very informative. Regarding the save file, my confusion was trying to inject multiple gifts. This is when i would see a invalid file error. So I got to two gifts. Eon ticket + one other. It came out weird not exactly right. Most likely user error.

Sorry for late reply. if you are still having issues with that save file send it my email and I can try and add the rest for you. My email is: Ibbyrulz@live.co.uk

Are you still having this issue, what is the name of the file? Did it show like this?: Pokemon - Emerald Version (USA, Europe) I'd make sure it shows as a SAV file and not a SA1 file. If you hover the mouse over the file, it should say what one it is.

Are you still having issues? What game are you playing and did you unlock mysterygift in your game? If you are, then ill give you an email address you could send a copy of your rom and I could help out.

@@shinyhuntingguide Hi, yes I'm still having issues. Thanks for the reply, and thank you so much, I will appreciate it if you are able to help me in any way. I'm on emerald and have enabled the mystery gifts yes.

im having the same issue, the man doesnt show up, ive only gotten to slateport on emerald english copy

@@blatrielle Hi, So I think I figured out the issue, If you try add one of the other events and claim tthe item first (mystic/eon/aroura ticket) then try for the old sea map it should work. If not, let me know and I'll give you my email to test it out for you.

@@shinyhuntingguide i think youre on to something, i just now saw your reply but last night i actually got it to work. i was sure i was doing it right. turns out i was....and it wasnt until after i did the mystic ticket did the old sea map work.

Yes, beacuse the pokemon obtained is legitimate and not hacked in. Mew is in the game already but just behind a lock, being the old sea map item and because its caught in the wild, having random nature, Iv's, ect, makes the pokemon legit. When transfering up, bank and home will only check to see if the pokemon is illegal, i.e perfect stats, forced shiny, illegal moves.

There are other companies that make gba readers and it can transfer save files to computers, that'll work perfectly fine. I use GB Operator personally and I couldn't recommend it more. If you have any GBA carts, then it is great for playing/backing-up them.

I mean that is always an option, just due to the legality of roms, I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have a copy of that game, but at the end of the day, you do what's best for you.

I used a r4 with the event tools. Worked easier than I thought. The ds I used also has a broken screen and still got it with no problems

@@TheXV1CT0Rx Can you point me to the tutorial you followed? Thanks!

@@nemesis4035 there is a reddit post on how i did it step by step

Yes because Mew is alrady in Emerald, all your doing is unlocking an item to get it. The Mew techically isn't cheated /manipulated into the game, meaining it won't get flagged when pass throguh the Home/bank checks. So in theory. you can get mew in Emerald and transfer it up to Scarlet +Violet if you want.

@@shinyhuntingguide 🤔

Well I got it working before the first bagde, right after I got my starter and defeated rival on rt 103, so I'm just saying how I got it.

You are probably correct with that tbh, I was just showing an option for people who still play with cartridges how to get the event items

I'm fairly certain it will, the gba operator works with mac and if you can open the wc3 tool, then it will definitely work.

Don't worry, that won't stop the events from working, although if you shiny hunting, make sure to use runaway method because if you restart the game, you'll get repeated frames/Pokémon.

Yes, unfortunately you can't get old sea map in sapphire however you are still able to get the eon ticket with this method. I think the mystery gift code is different in Sapphire, but it should work.

That is always an option, but I say use at own discretion. If you use GameShark to get the Pokémon, they most likely won't get past Bank/Home. You could use it to get the MG items, that is another way to get them past Bank/Home. It's up to you, this is just a way for people who don't have GameShark and want to hunt some gen 3 event mon.

Thanks!

Well it may be possible, but I'm not aware where to get the e-reader cards for the events. I mean if you have an e-reader already, it's worth looking for one online, I just know this method defintely work and thought I'd make a video to make people aware of it.Tbh, if you can get a cheap e-reader from ebay, it might be less expensive but I personally think the gb operator is a more useful tool because you can save and emulate your games onto your computer, but that's my opinion.
