Part 35: Volume 3: Program Advance ID: #001 -- #038

Volume #3: Program Advance ID: #001 -- #038



They were still figuring out Program Advances in Battle Network 1. That's no excuse not to fix them in the re-release and it's still in the laundry list of shortcomings this game has. The game doesn't even record this, but since I'm doing an Encyclopedia, then this is for posterity's sake. There still isn't a Program Advance limit like later games...not that it'd be worth it anyway.

If you ever have an * chip, you can always substitute it for one, and only one of the components in any given PA. So, Cannon A,B,C could be *,B,C or A,*,C or A,B,*. It can't be A, *, * or any other permutation of that. I won't be listing * as a possible sub-in.

Trying to find an entry? Hit Ctrl+F and type in the Program Advance ID. The Program Advance ID comes in 3 digits, so, say I was missing No. 20 in my library, just search "020" If you want to reach the end of any of these posts for some reason, search for "--
