Last week, a 22-year-old Frenchman who goes by the online name Z-Mack released the seventh major update to Dragon Ball Z: Team Training, a hack of an old Pokémon game where you can catch all of your favorite characters from Dragon Ball Z and have them fight against each other in the Pokémon world.

Play Dragon Ball Z - Team Training and other cool anime games! Also very popular on this website right now are: Dragon Ball Puzzle, 2048 Goku and Doraemon - Letters Basebal. Rename the.sav file the exact same name as the dragon ball z team training rom. Same exact spelling and any extra characters for example: Dbz-team-training.gba so rename your.sav file Dbz-team-training.sav and put the.sav with the.gba or rom file in the same folder and it should load the Pokemon fire red save file that you renamed dbz team.

Dragon Ball Z: Team Training’s seventh update adds 15 new fighters (and their transformations), including Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku and Super Saiyan Blue 2 Vegeta. It switches the PokemonFireRed wild encounter theme music with Dragon Ball Z battle music and replaces the Pokemon FireRed end credits theme with the Dragon Ball Z anime ending theme song “We Were Angels.” The ROM hack, which has been around since 2015, was created by and is currently being updated by Z-Mack, a Frenchman who has loved both Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z ever since he was a kid.

“I wanted a game so much like [Dragon Ball Z: Team Training] when I was a child,” Z-Mack told me over Facebook Messenger. “This was just my imagination...I never planned on making such a game.”

Dragon Ball Z: Team Training is a free ROM hack or mod of the 2004 game Pokemon FireRed. You play as a fighter trainer whose goal is to collect all eight Saiyanbadges, defeat the Four Kais of the Dragon League, and complete your Scouter by collecting all of 165+ fighters in the world. Instead of starting in Pallet Town, you begin your journey in Mount Paozu. Professor Oak is replaced by Dr. Brief. Rather than choosing your starter between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, you get to select between Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan. And you can find all seven Dragon Balls scattered throughout the world in order to summon the eternal dragon Shenron.

In 2014, Z-Mack stumbled upon Operation Digimon: Digipedia, a ROM hack which replaces the Pokémon sprites with Digimon sprites. It inspired him. Using online resources, he began to teach himself how to edit sprites. After months of fiddling around with these online programs, he felt that he was ready to start working on making his childhood dream a reality.

In the same year, Z-Mack began to work on a ROM hack what would later be known as Dragon Ball Z: Team Training. It took him a year to complete the first version of it. Using the Pokémon FireRed ROM as a base, he replaced the Pokémon sprites with sprites of Dragon Ball Z characters. He didn’t create all the sprites that were implemented in the ROM hack. Some were plucked out of other Dragon Ball Z games and others were created by various artists, whom he credits. The ones Z-Mack did make individually took at least two days to create. The process involves taking existing models from DBZ episodes and resizing them through multiple programs in order to make them fit into a GBA game. He also edited the attack animations, which he admitted was his favorite part of the ROM hack.

In September 2015, he shared the first version of it with the rest of the world.

His game remains a project that he said he takes very seriously. According to Z-Mack, he spends about four to five hours per day or 30 hours per week working on the ROM hack, which he said has positively affected other aspects of his life and identity.

Making Team Training helped Z-Mack learn the basics of programming and computer science. He also thinks it made him a better person and a better student. He says that the often time-consuming, tedious, and difficult processes Z-Mack had to learn and apply in order to create the ROM hack taught him about perseverance. Over the course of the one year that it took to create DBZ: Team Training, he found himself demoralized “many times, like 20 times” but he says he never thought about giving up, because “giving up would mean a defeat.” He began to apply this way of thinking to other challenges and obstacles he’d encounter in his life, such as his studies in physics.

His way of thinking also changed. While it wasn’t a sudden amazing change, he told me, it was still an invaluable and lasting one.

“[Creating DBZ: Team Training] was not a meaningless experience and it was not just a funny [thing] to do,” he said. “It actually changed my way of thinking and... really [gave] me hope and confidence that...led me to my studies in digital systems.”

Z-Mack also dedicates a lot of time to helping players solve their problems with their ROM hack and responding to their messages on the Facebook page, which has over 10,000 followers. He told me that he plans to continue to work on DBZ: Team Training as long as he continues to be motivated by it, which he said is “a long time.”

“When people thank me and tell me that it was also a childhood dream for them to play a game like that, it makes me feel very happy.” Z-Mack told me. He followed that message with a smiling emoji.

Hi everyone, I'm Z-Max and I'm a great fan of Dragon Ball Z. I've made this game from Pokémon Fire Red.
It's a mod in which pokemons are replaced by characters of Dragon Ball Z.
The download links are forbidden here, except for patch files. So, here is the patch: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9dlq353162qq7e8/V7.ips
You need to download the patch and the original pokemon game (Pokemon Fire Red US), then apply this patch on the pokemon rom, and that's it. You can play DBZ Team Training.

If you want the location of all the fighters, go here(it's under construction): http://dragon-ball-z-team-training.wikia.com/wiki/Where_to_find_Fighters
Keep in mind that you will need the National Scouter to make evolve some fighters (SSJ3 Goku into SSJ God Goku, or SSJ Future Trunks into SSJ Rage Trunks for example).

Dragon Ball Team Training Rom

-There are 170 attacks including 130 new attacks (techniques from Dbz)
with new animations of course, and 30 old attacks (from Pokémon, like Headbutt for example).
I would like to make a moves list and especially a list with the movesets of all the characters, but it's too long to do. I can't for now.
-I added new maps for some cities. I didn't change all the maps, only some of them.
-I've changed some overworld sprites too. (mini-sprites on the maps)
-Many items were added. (capsules, senzu...etc)
Item list:
Maybe this is not the perfect game but I've made it alone. You can let me know if you find any bug/mistake.

The main defects
-I don't speak english perfectly, so I did my best but the texts may be wrong sometimes.
-Some back sprites (characters from behind) are not really beautiful. But most of them look good enough.
-I didn't add any DBZ music, that's too bad but it's pretty hard to modify the musics.

The seven Dragon Balls
You need to find the seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron. Here is their location:

• 1-star Dragon Ball: In the truck, in the port of RR Base.(You can enter by surfing)
• 2-star Dragon Ball: behind a rock on an islet(route 20).
• 3-star Dragon Ball: In Mt.Moon, when you beat the trainer at the end. (before the exit of the cave)
• 4-star Dragon Ball: On the Indigo Plateau, just before the center.
• 5-star Dragon Ball: In Capsule Corporation, after defeating Pilaf.
• 6-star Dragon Ball: On route 10, hidden near a tree. There is a row of trees, the ball is upwards.
• 7-star Dragon Ball: On route 8, in a corner (to the north), over the rock tunnel.

When you get them all, go to Makyo Town and talk to the old man near the tower so you can summon Shenron.
How to get past the guards

The guards prevent you from going to Satan City and other places if you don't give them the tea.
You need to talk to the old woman in West City, near the Z-Store.
The 3 super saiyan gods
There are 3 super saiyan gods: SSG Goku, SSG Vegeta and SSG Gohan. But you can have only one.
If your starter is Goku, you will find SSG Goku. It is the same thing for Vegeta and Gohan.
How to find them?
First, you have to beat the league. After that, you need to catch at least 60 fighters, then go and see Dr.Brief to get the National Scouter.
When you have done these two things, the super saiyan god will be released into the wild.
BUT I didn't test something about it. Maybe you have to repair the machine on One Island with the ruby and the sapphire to find the super saiyan god.
The National Scouter should allow you to find him but I'm not sure about that because I have not tested it yet. So, make sure to repair the machine first.
A tip to find them easily: Buy 15-20 max repels and put a fighter at level 49 (or beyond 40 at least) first in your party.
Then go to a grass area and use the max repels to keep weak fighters away.
Only the fighters with a level beyond 49 will appear, it is an easier way to find the super saiyan gods who are level 50.
If you don't find anything after using 2 max repels, leave the area by going to another route or just fly to the next town and come back. Repeat the operation until you find the fighter.
Caution! The super saiyan gods flee when you attack them. They are like Entei, Raikou and Suicune in the original pokemon game, you have to be careful.
Imperial Cave
To get past the cave, you have to beat the league, get the National Scouter from Dr.Brief(by catching 60 fighters) and give Celio the ruby and the sapphire on One Island.
After that, the guard will be gone.
How to find the ruby and the sapphire
The ruby
After beating the league and getting the National Scouter, go to One Island and talk to Celio. He asks you to find the 2 gemstones.
Then, go to Mt.Ember and go on the right. 2 henchmen of Pilaf will be talking together. Just beat them.
Go on, and go down when you're here:
You will find the ruby by this way.
Then, give Celio the ruby so that he gives you the Rainbow Pass. It allows you to go to all the seven islands.
You have to go to the Icefall Cave on Four Island after that. Pick the HM Waterfall and teach it to an Aqua.
Use this move to get up the waterfall in the cave, and help East Kai battle Pilaf henchmen.
The sapphire
After helping East Kai, go to Ruin Valley on Six Island. You need a fighter with the move Cut.
Just use Cut when you are in front of this door:
The door will be opened in this way. So you get to the Dotted Hole.
Go up, left, right and down. The sapphire is right there.
But a scientist will take it before you. You have to go to the Pilaf Warehouse on Five Island Meadow to take it back.
Just beat all the Pilaf members and the scientist to take the sapphire back. Then go to One Island to give Celio the sapphire.
That's it! You have finished this quest, now you can go to Imperial Cave on Namek Town.
How to get Whis
First, you need the

Dragon Ball Z Team Training Download

Aurora ticket that is on Memorial Pillar, near the big rock to the south. The place is very random, I know.
Show this ticket to the sailor on Red Ribbon Base, he'll take you to Birth Island. Then, you have to solve the puzzle which is the same
as Deoxys in Fire Red. You need to press A many times on the triangle by making the correct steps, in this way:
It's important to read what I just wrote or else you will get irritated. There is a step counter and you can't make as many steps as you want.
If you're still confused, just watch a video on youtube to see how to do. There are videos that show how to solve the puzzle of Deoxys, it's the same puzzle.
Some of you may have a save with the old version(before the last update). If you do, the Aurora ticket must have disappeared if you already picked the metal coat on Memorial Pillar(before the update, the ticket was a metal coat in this place). In this case, the cheat code is the only solution.
Code for the warp to Birth Island: 82031dbc 3802
Put this code in the Codebreaker(cheat list), then use any door to get to Birth Island. When you're done, remove the code and you will be able to leave the island.
How to find Hit
You need to solve the Tanoby Key puzzle on Sevault Canyon (Seven Island). It's in a cave where you have to push the rocks into all the holes.
After doing this, go to Tanoby Ruins to the south of Sevault Canyon and you will find Hit in the chambers (instead of Unown in the pokemon game).
How to find Zamasu and Black
Zamasu and Black are located on Navel Rock. You need the Mystic Ticket to go there.
First, go to Six Island and go through Green Path (surf to the north and get past the forest). Now, go to Outcast Island and keep heading to the north.
At the far end of this place, you will find Gowasu, standing on a little island. He will ask you to beat Zamasu and Black by giving you the ticket.
Where to find the 3 God Stones
-Capture/beat Zamasu and Black, and talk to Gowasu again. He will give you a god stone as reward.
-in Lost Cave.
-Beerus holds a god stone. Capture him and take it from him.
The cheat code for the god stone is the fire stone code in Fire Red: 82003884 005F. (buy it in a mart for free). Be careful! Make a copy of your save, cheat codes may damage your data.
-the prize in Trainer Tower when you beat the Super mode.
Useful Items
The 3 ape tails:
*Pilaf Warehouse (just follow the tips for the sapphire to get to this place)
*Lost Cave: Go right, up, down, down, right, left, down, right, up.
*Sevault Canyon: Behind some rocks. You need the HMs Rock Smash and Strength.
The god stones: given by Gowasu, Beerus and Whis (explained above)
A-Scouter: Beat Pilaf in his hideout. To get to this place, push the button behind the poster in the Game Corner(West City).
Ocarina: Help Kami in God's tower, he will give it to you. It allows you to awaken Hildegarn who blocks the route 13.
Tiny mushrooms: After completing the ruby-sapphire quest, you will be able to buy tiny mushrooms at the shop on two island instead of lava cookies.
BUT, you need to talk to the shopkeeper and then leave the map, and talk to her again so that you can buy the mushrooms. Don't ask me why, it's just the script that needs to activate some flags and variables...I didn't try to change that.
Big mushrooms: There are 3 mushrooms allowing you to re-learn a move to your fighters -> Memorial Pillar, Water Path and Sevault Canyon.
These items are hidden in the ground, you need the radar (item finder) to find them. I can't post too many screenshots on this thread.
Radar: given by Brief's aide to the east of R.R. Base in the building. That's the item finder actually.
Bicycle: You don't have to pay 1 million zenis/dollars(or whatever the currency is) of course. You need the bike voucher given by the chairman of the fan club in Red Ribbon Base.
Give this voucher to the shopkeeper in Namek Town (in the bicycle shop). It's the same method in Fire Red.
Shell Bell: Talk to the same guy who gives the HM Surf in Pokemon Fire Red. He's in Babidi Zone in the secret house.
If you already talked to this guy in your save, he's not going to give you the shell bell. Then you have to use the cheat code: 82003884 00DB. Then buy it in any mart.

The HMs
01 Cut: given by the captain on the ferry SS Anne ship (on Red Ribbon Base).
You can teach it to Bear Thief, Saibamen, Biomen and some other fighters.
02 Fly: given by a woman in a house on route 16 after cutting the tree.
03 Surf: in the Babidi Zone. The location is the same as in Pokemon Fire Red.
You can teach it only to Aqua. He's the only water-type fighter actually. (Catch him by fishing with the rod given by a man on RR Base)
04 Strength: given by the warden in Ginger Town. Give him the gold teeth.
05 Taiyouken: given by a scientist on Route 2, in the building after getting through the RR's cave.
06 Rock Smash: given by a man in the Ember Spa (located on Kindle Road, One Island).
07 Waterfall: in Icefall Cave (Four Island).
Major and minor changes in V7
-15 new characters (including transformations):
Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku, SSJ Blue 2 Vegeta, Cabba + SSJ and SSJ2, Kale + Berserk and Mastered Berserk, Caulifla + SSJ and SSJ2, Kefla + Mastered Berserk, Jimizu and Damon.
-5 new musics:
*the title screen theme has been changed by the opening chala head chala.
*the wild battle theme has been changed by a battle music from DBZ.
*the end credits music (after beating the league) has been changed by the ending 'We were angels'.
*the SSJ God appearance theme has been changed by the DBS opening Limit-Break x Survivor.
*the Tanoby ruins theme has been changed by Jiren's theme.
-Some backsprites improved: Biomen, Buyon, Chiaotzu and Goten (SSJ too)
-Evolution of SSB Goku at level 65 instead of 70
Location of new characters in V7
*Cabba: Water Path (Six Island)
*Caulifla and Kale: Three Isle Port (in the grass spot after getting past the cave)
The evolution of Kale (at level 25) is likely to be the berserk form. The only way to have the mastered berserk is to have the same attack and defense stats before evolving.
*Kefla: potara fusion of Caulifla and Kale.
There may be not enough potaras in the game however...solution = cheat codes or trades from another party.
*Jimizu: Scufib Chamber (Tanoby Ruins, Seven Island)
*Damon: Pattern Bush (Six Island)
Fusion System
The machine is located at Roshi's Island in the lab. This system lets you merge 2 fighters for 30000 zenis, one at the first place of your party and another one that you can choose in the party.
About the moves, you can keep the first two moves of your fighters. For example if the 1st two moves of vegeta are final flash and big bang, and the 1st two moves of goku are kamehameha and genkidama, then gogeta will have these 4 moves. but you can also say to the scientist that you want gogeta to learn his default moves(in this case, the moves he will learn depend on his level).
How does the fusion work?
The fusion is an average of the levels, the IVs and the EVs. it means that the level of the fused fighter is an addition of the 2 levels that is then divided by 2.
For example goku lvl.40 + vegeta lvl.60 = gogeta lvl.50.
In the same way, IVs and EVs of the fusion are an average of the base fighters values.
But of course, making an average of this data doesn't mean that the fusion is as strong as the 2 fighters. What makes the fusion very powerful is the base stats.
The base stats of the fused fighters like gogeta are far higher than the base stats of the unfused fighters. Maybe that doesn't sound clear but the fusion will always give a fighter that is much stronger than the initial fighters. There is only one variable that may make the fusion weaker in one stat, it's the nature. It's generated randomly and it causes a loss of 10% on one particular stat, but it causes also an increase of 10% in another stat, then it's well-balanced.
The only problem with the fusion is the loss of experience points and the shiny status. The fusion doesn't record this data from the initial fighters.
Now, about the possible fusions, here is a list:
*metamol fusion:
goku + vegeta = gogeta
goten + trunks = gotenks

Dragon Ball Team Training Free Download

*potara fusion:
goku + vegeta = vegeto
kaioshin + kibito = kibitoshin
zamasu + black = merged zamasu
*special fusion:
super buu + ultm gohan = buuhan
super buu + ssj3 gotenks = buutenks
baby + majin vegeta = baby vegeta
c-17 holding an up-grade + c-17 = super c-17
About the merging items (potara and up-grade):
The potara earrings can be obtained as prizes in the trainer tower (z and double z mode), you can also find a potara on the ground in victory road and kindle road (except if you already picked the replaced items in your current save), and zamasu and black hold a potara when you capture them. The up-grade is the prize you win when you complete the GT mode in the trainer tower.
Trainer Tower
There are 4 battle modes, you can choose the z mode, the double z mode(that is just a mode with duo battles and different foes), the gt mode or the super mode.
The prizes for each mode respectively are: potara, potara, up-grade and god stone.

After inserting the master code, put the code of the pokemon which matches the fighter you want. Put the code of Bulbasaur for Goku for example. The list of pokemon cheat codes is here: http://www.ign.com/faqs/2004/pokemon-firered-version-action-replay-code-list-550048.
The codes of some fighters don't match their numbers however. You can find the list of fighter's IDs on the wikia -> http://dragon-ball-z-team-training.wikia.com/wiki/Fighters
(In the version 3, I changed the order of all the characters from SSJ Bardock until the last fighter. Indeed, adding fighters in every update has caused a mess in the scouter data.)
So, if you want Whis for example, look at his ID number in the list above. It's 135 (it's not 165 as indicated by the scouter number), so you need the code of the 135th pokemon of course (Lapras) which is 483AC796 E3850B8F.
After using a code for a fighter, remove all the codes in the codebreaker, save and reopen your rom. Don't restart only, you really have to reopen the rom.
The codes may cause glitches sometimes if you don't use them correctly, so be careful. Just make sure to have a copy of your save file and your rom, just in case.

-Item code: 82003884 XXXX
Replace XXXX by the item number of the list: http://pokecharms.com/threads/pokemon-emerald-cheat-codes.4616/
Then, buy this item at any mart.

Holy water = rare candy
Ape tail = water stone
God stone = fire stone
Metal coat = thunder stone
Senzu = full restore
Shenron scale = max revive
Battle Boots = quick claw
BattleGloves = black belt
Battle Armor = poison barb
Nyoibo = silk scarf
Neo-Scouter = scope lens
Turtle Suit = lucky egg

-PC item modifier: 82025840 XXXX
This code makes an item show up in the last place of the PC. Replace XXXX by the item number in the list(link above).
-Shiny code:

CE71B3D3 1F6A85FB
198DF179 5413C867
73ECB8A0 BDD8B251
D5AFFB37 6855972C
73ECB8A0 BDD8B251
This code doesn't work perfectly however, the shinys you catch should go directly in your team, so make room in the party. When you already have 6 fighters, the shinys are not in the PC boxes, I don't know why.
You can combine this code with the one of the fighter you want. For example, put the shiny code, the master code and the code of Goku to battle him as a shiny.

The save
I say it once and for all: the save issue is a problem from the emulator, it's not due to the game. As far as I know, there is no way to change that.
It's the same problem with the other pokemon games. You have to adjust the settings on the emulator. Stop asking me how to fix the save, just read carefully the text below.

When this message: 'The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed.' appears on the screen or when you can't save, follow these steps (for people using Visualboy Advance):
Go to 'options' ; 'emulator' ; 'save type' and choose Automatic and Flash 128K. Then, put the files (emulator and rom) in the same folder.
There must not be a save file ('.sav') in the folder before opening the rom. If there is one, close vba, move this file to another place, reopen vba. Now you should be able to save.

I strongly advise you to use Visualboy Advance on PC. If you use a different emulator/device, or if you still can't fix it, you can search on google.
By the way, if you already have a save state and you need to save normally (from the start menu), check this video: https://youtu.be/FV5TRNi_cSk

If you're on Android: Use the emulator Myboy and go to Settings, advanced, cartridge type and choose 128.

The save should work, but if you're confused and you need more details, you should go on Google or watch videos on Youtube like this one:
