Those beloved scamps at Filb have solved the puzzle that has caused us gamers to tear our hair out since Emerald came out--how to make the girl in Rustboro smile.

And check it out, you can customize it too!

Ah, so Meowth's work was not completely lost... Or at least, there are alternatives...

 

[Misty]

It must be secret Christmas.

 

[Pieomon]

I was looking for what the secret word was. It's kinda like Animal Crossing's password I guess.

 

[Buoysel]

lisakVUK was the one who found this out. Thanks again to him!

I didn't think that anyone was ever going to figure out the code.

 

[Archaic]

Interesting. A pity this probably won't work with the Japanese version I have.

Don't worry, we're working on support for the Japanese version.

Edit: (Reply for the post under mine) Yeah, Nintendo of America removed some of the symbols the Japanese version has.

It does say one of hte codes is Japan-only...

Why would they do that anyway? Like the contest wallpaper...

 

[Buoysel]

In the Japanese version there are some icons like a Bolt and a Plusle sign and I think one more. They all have been removed from the English version.

Nintendo of America sucks...

Edit: Here are example pics of those icons:

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Uh-huh, why would they remove those? (the thing that comes immediately to mind is "church pressure". Tell me NoA wouldn't be that easily swayed)

 

[GrnMarvl14]

They would, it just doesn't seem to be overtly religious, which is usually where NOA tends to hesitate.

 

[Doctor Oak]

Could they have been replaced with as-yet unfound ones for use in the NYC Pokemon Center or something?

That seems pretty logical to me, a lot more so than simply removing them for some random reason.

I'd hardly think it had anything to do with churches... considering they all think Pokemon is the spawn of satan anyways.

 

[Buoysel]

Ah, by the way -- support for the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald was recently added.

 

[Zhen Lin]

I wonder if there are multiple solutions. We could have non-nonsensical words...
