- Spaceworld-ish SGB morning palettes
- Flash caves work now
- Menu Account displays without bugged colors
- Also small Mt. Ember tweaks and a collision fix
Began the arduous process of giving old Pokemon new dex entries. Like KEP, the main aim is using media not from the mainline games, giving players new insights into the lore surrounding them. New Snap, Ranger, Carddass, TCG art, and more are all on the table. Carddass is prioritised for Gen 1 Pokemon considering its obscurity and...well, general insights into how the Pokemon act, it's pretty awesome.
I've also taken to enhancing some of the existing dex entries!
If you win the Bug Catching Contest, the man will give you an Earthquake Gligar.
The code that gives it a special move is a bit fucked up because I tried to add a Farfetch'd function, but I can't be bothered to finish the functionality because I'm stupid (it is actually quite easy I'm just lazy)
this makes the step counter and safari ball giving processes work but it still doesn't have the process of kicking the player out, nor does it display in the menu.
I also lost my mind trying to figure out how the screen flash bug works and gave up
This adds some infrastructure for the Safari Game, specifically;
- The guards who let you in; the ticket is given and Safari Balls are provided; you also get the leaving early and so on. Bit janky at times.
- Infrastructure for the step system, albeit unfinished; the steps aren't initially counted and there's no kicking out process yet.
All in all, it's now playable, but the loss conditions are not yet finished. I shall now lay down in a dark room.
This adds a clause into the wild encounter setup that sets the Safari BattleType if you're within the relevant landmarks. Therefore, all that's now needed is a way to check the Safari Balls in the player's bag before kicking them out, which should be easily triggered by looking in their bag.
This fixes the executive music bug and ensures Giovanni also gets it. I removed the female Executive since it's usually just Ariana. Can use it another time if something comes up, but right now, no need.
Now the rival doesn't awkwardly say his name is ???, using the trainer card from HGSS instead. Includes the funny lookaround gaffe among other bits. Changed the trainer class as well, making it seamless.
The act of naming your mother was restored by adding a name substitution system to WRAM, thus allowing the Dude to occupy a slot naturally. I believe Red and Blue's names are unused too, but just to be safe, I left them alone. Using this means we can technically have battles that substitute names all the time, so this is really neat.
Reworked the first rival encounter scene to have him treat you like an idiot, blurt out what you name your mother, tease you, and piss you off. Arguably flows better than the original and makes more sense. Also, now the mother's name is placed in various spots.
Only concern really is seeing the default name in the phone contact. Feel free to change that if you want, but it's hard to place due to situations where the player leaves without talking to her, so take care!
Unsure where to place these yet, made something on the spreadsheet to find my bearings. All I know is I want it!
I had to change `endtext` to an sjump as we don't actually have that script in our ROM. Polished is very different to pokecrystal. Luckily, everything else went off without a hitch.
This adds various house tiles that allow the creation of the game house from SW97. It's been heavily altered to include the SNES (from RBY), Virtual Boy, and N64.
Here, you can fight Jacky once a day to farm Gold Leaves, which will be currency for a Move Reminder. It should refresh just fine but definitely give it a closer look, I'm not exactly confident.
I also made a start on a GSCified sofa but it looks kinda weird.
This adds Route 50 to the game, as well as Jacky, albeit without the gate or house that you can warp to within.
I decided that the game house will be where Shinjuku Jacky hangs out this time! He'll battle the player and give them uhhh idfk you figure it out
Also I don't know what to call West City. It's a rather sea-blueish colour, sort of like duck egg blue. Sort of a Pacific Teal, right? I need another gay person to give colour ideas.
The connections between maps, as well as Dokuroar's boss battle, are not finished. However, everything else is, including the warps themselves. My brain is just a bit too small for a puzzle like this, so I require assistance.
This gives Sepia City all of its locations.
The pagoda uses references to the Five-Story Pagoda story from 1891, with Sages using various 成语 translated into English.
This also adds the Elder class, assigning it to Li and (now) Roen.
The Elder in the pagoda is not yet battle-able as I haven't really fit anything into the story. No cutscenes, etc, it's all too early.
It's an art museum where you can get your legendary beasts sculpted for now, though I haven't added the functionality. There's a world where it could be for any Pokemon but that implies we make individualised icons...
Nihon badges now count and Sepia City has its Gym Leader. All fully functional.
I've also distributed the transfer-exclusive Kanto Pokemon items to their relevant owners, plus the Polkadot Bow.
This commit adds some events to the White City gate that prevent the player from getting too ahead of themselves. I've also expanded Route 66 and Winner's Path so you don't get that ugly gate ending too early.
Oh, and Cal has his teams and some notes for the future chucked in.
The player needs to dumpsterfuck Green to access White City now!
This adds Tohjo Giovanni, Archer, Ariana, Prof. Blue, and fixes various bugs with my last commit. Also fixes the bug with Chris's img not having an embedded palette.
I also ported over all the KEP cries that are available as a bunch were incomplete or seemingly being remade.
Next step is to integrate much of this.
This adds a ton of overworld sprites, some from KEP, others from SW97/99, for you all to mess around with. It also adds the prototype trainer sprites from SW99 to use with the old trainer classes, though some don't have modern GSC shading.
Unfortunately, the SW99 trainer sprites need palfixing and my PC can't be fucked running it for some reason.
Lots of potential here, particularly with making Mediums now use their distinct sprites, and having Channelers to fit into the mix. I'll be using these when fleshing out the Haunted House and Lavender Crypt.
South Guy still doesn't have a name, so internally, they are called such.
Green from KEP/TPP Anniversary Red has been imported too, because she's awesome like that.
Yes this commit has the cat sprite. All rise for the best thing ever.
# Conflicts:

Just going to redo what I did after this whoops
Adds a prep-style school to Sepia City, which talks about all those super intricate GSC mechanics. It also gave it the May98 front porch and sign.
I like to imagine they all have their little Munchlaxes being trained up, maybe stockpiling on Ultra Balls to catch their first Zapdos too.
This implements Old City, the Honey Grandma's House, and its Pokecenter+Mart. Bunch of other bits and pieces not added yet, need to figure out the lore for them.
Honey Grandma is designed to make it easier to get important Pokemon, rather than give access to anything new. Thus, she's Nihon-locked by being an Old City resident. Martha's Perfect Rod will follow this trend.
Gold Berry tree exists to make them renewable in-game, I think this is very important.
The flypoint seems bugged.
This adds the restoration of the Safari Zone from Pokemon October. There isn't a proper place for this yet, but there will be soon!
It seems to have issues with tiles, which I am assuming to either be the tilemap clearing or something relating to Zeta's custom ball palettes, since I had to add the Safari Ball. Can you get to that, @ZetaNull?
2ff835730b
also fixed the unnumbered route errors.
Ported from Pokemon October.
8114fead911a6f3e4f03d00cd6fafd
Alterations have been made in that the treemonset has been diversified a bit further, having Munchlax like in DPP. They're L60, intended to be used in Nihon.
I haven't placed the grandma in the region yet, intending for her to be in Old City.
This largely finishes the Blue's Lab commit from last night, adding all the bits and bobs to make the first initial cutscene. This essentially puts all the first plot threads into place: Impostor Oak, the Nihon League, and so on. This stuff is stupid unorthodox, I expect it to be an uphill battle.
So the scenes are massively unfinished and need some bug fixes, namely;
- Make the Silent Hills scene load properly.
- Finish the interior scene; have the player walk into the map.
- Make the scene loading in the second Blue's Lab room load properly (same issue as Silent Hills)
Main issues come from the events not working like RBY:
- You cannot be walked directly into a warp!
- Coord events don't seem to trigger scenes on their own and I'm just kind of perplexed by it.
If anyone more experienced wants to take a stab at it, by all means! This is looking really good!
- Added a Strength Switch puzzle to floor 2, which took an unhealthy amount of time to do. This is possible in GSC but requires a lot of extremely hacky solutions. There is a glitch that causes the boulder not to move once on the switch if you reload the map but I have been doing this for 3-4 hours, shush.
- Added a depressed switch tile to accomodate the new functionality.
- New switch collision type for boulder puzzles.
- Removed a lot of unused/unreferenced stuff that isn't necessary in Crystal to save space.
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't walk through one of the Kanto rock tiles
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't go back through the Winner's Path cave exits
- Fixed a bug where some trainers would glitch when walking on Silent Hills mapgroups
- Optimised the Silent Hills spriteset
- Modified Painter Dali and Super Nerd Gregg's teams
- Modified Winners Path's wild data to feature L56 Chanseys for use with the Repel Trick.
- Fixed some text so it scrolls better
This route is unnumbered for now, because it's technically the last Nihon Route (numbered 23 in-prototype) and I don't know how to number it yet. It's easily find/replaced once we're sure, anyway.
Wild data uses the prototype's plus a couple edits, levels are kept low as you're actually entering here.
It's official: Nihon is connected to Johto and Kanto now!
This makes and connects Winner's Path Outside to Victory Road Gate. Also fixes bugs in Winner's Path that caused signs to crash the game.
Next, making the route that connects to Silent Hills, and reintegrating Mt. Silver!
This implements Winner's Path into the game, complete with trainers and wild Pokemon. There's still a lot to do, though.
The Debug Lady that gave Celebi now gives Furret because it gets all the important HMs, which we need to...test things. Naturally, you have all the badges now too!
This adds some RBY elements to the Cave tileset - including some rocks, a button, a sign(!), and the ice tiles. I've modified the rocks so they work with the tileset in-practice, I really liked using these in KEP. I've put together a really really really basic Winner's Path that'll be sorted out one day...
- Fixed various tile port issues and made various visual enhancements. Now generally closer to the Kanto styled Viridian Forest.
- Added Lass Ikue, a trainer referencing Ikue Otani, to the area where the Yellow Lass was. Required updating the spriteset but it seems fine.
- Added parties for all the trainers, which were missed on the initial import.
- Fixed various inaccurate capitalisations.
- Fixed gate warps. Considering adding a Honey girl here if we ever do that?
- Restored various RBY NPCs in the Pewter and Viridian gates to the forest, saying largely the same stuff. Just keeps things move lively.
This restores the old Egg Ticket functionality, albeit without the funky animation. I renamed the area the Ticket Corner on that account. Lore relating to it has been restored.
I also fixed the fossil items (they're regular items now) and updated the readme.
The Egg Ticket still needs its function to be usable, but is now at least obtainable in some way. This makes Buena's Password much, much more interesting.
Turns out it's that massive...thing.
The screen is all fuzz, but it seems like it was meant to change.
We ought to include this stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmvFT4PLAMQ&ab_channel=H%C3%A1%C4%8Dky
But it's hard, so I haven't done it (yet).
I don't think people would kill us if it was just this, but with random quotes from the time period, but...
This adds a bunch of PCC-related stuff to the building, most notably the GS Ball, making Celebi obtainable natively.
Chances are, we would repeat this for the MysticTicket and Mew.
This restores a bunch of text and adapts it to various bits and pieces. Of course, a lot still needs to be done. Very happy with how it's turning out, though!
Most things are now done. Blockset is presentable, so expansion can be done with time.
Things not done:
- Scarlet/Violet Books (I want to do these like Bill's favourite Pokemon PC from RBY)
- Computer things for a fossil machine (Take from the Oak Lab tileset I sorted in KEP?? Or do what the RoA place does? Both require tileset modifications and map expansion)
- Aerodactyl/Kabutops fossil displays.
Pretty good, huh?
- Lavender Crypt/Haunted house tileset added with custom palette
- Sideways cave added to one of the Nihon tilesets for the sake of quiet cave
- Citrine tiles added to kanto tileset. I forget if I was totally finished with it but it's probably fine
- Added the gate for Route 49 and Old City in preparation for adding it
- Fixed a glitch in Quiet Cave where a PokeFan/Beauty would become Jesus
- Made the exit to Quiet Cave clearer
Kris experiences a microaggression in the gate because it's funny
This replaces the Goldenrod Pokemon Centre with the PCC. Further implementations haven't been made yet, it just exists.
Things to implement:
- Egg Ticket exchange
- GS Ball
- Regional trades
- Unreferenced text
Need to pay a closer look when I have actually got my PC with me...
There's a couple bugs here and there, but it's good enough and I think the bugs are related to how I tested it.
Doesn't use specials because it seems to just cause comical glitches to occur.
The Museum and Ruins of Alph fossil guys will talk differently, implying they're different individuals. The Museum one talks like in HGSS, the RoA one talks like the RBY one and comments on the Unown researcher's lack of care for fossils.
Also reused some PokeCom centre lore.
Worked on the map and added wild data. It's mostly Kanto stuff as it was in FRLG - the Sevii Islands are Kanto after all. Slowking in the water because there's not really anything else and it's kinda neat. Shuckle is in by Misty's suggestion.
Now has wildmons, a map, and a few signs.
It seems the map usually has street stalls, so we would need tiles made for this before the map is in a presentable state. Any ideas?
The aim was simply to make the rom build with EVERY currently posited map in it. This adds EVERYTHING.
Ground rules;
- All temp maps are 10x10 cave tileset goons with nothing in them
- Connections are NOT done
- Fishgroups and music are likely incorrect and/or unfinished
- No wild data
This is extremely achievable, as numerous unreferenced maps are unused in the block and script banks. Makes doing this a cinch!
All of this basically means: You can get creative now and start brainstorming what to do with all these maps. Get them fleshed out, connected, and...not being nothing. It's like ordering in a bunch of blank canvasses. Go nuts!
Perhaps a little biased that I'm finishing this one first, but this one's my personal favourite BetaMon.
- Sprite from Pokemon October currently
- Changed the Debug Mode second encounter to a shiny, so easier shiny form testing can be done
Makes the EXP. Share into a Key item and gives it to all party members.
Changed several item descriptions to be less garbage
Made the Dragon Fang boost attack like it should (Dragon Scale is left unchanged)
The Lottery now gives you a Lucky Egg if you win 2nd Prize, the EXP Share is still obtained from Mr. Pokemon
- Gave the Debug Room its own name and placement on the map, simply being '?????' and up in the top-left corner of Nihon.
- Added a feature where the shiny palette of a Pokemon can be seen by pressing Select on the Pokedex screen.
- Added preliminary sprites for Belledam, Bipulla, Burgela, Coinpur, Jungela, Pupperon, Stromen, and Tricules.
- Added preliminary shiny palettes for Bipulla, Bellignan, Burgela, Coinpur, Jungela and Tricules
- Changed Debug Room's layout again slightly
- Added another NPC to the Debug Room that gives you a bunch of useful items when spoken to, mainly all of the HMs and Apriballs, plus some Master Balls, Rare Candies and more.
- Adds Pockle, an evolution of Shuckle based on cut data from early 1999. Uses a custom sprite reminiscent of Shuckle's early 'pot' design, with the base sprite being used in Pokemon October, then heavily edited by me.
- Reworked the Shuckie event entirely. Shuckie is now 5 levels higher and holds a Berry Juice, and their OT has been changed to the better name used in HGSS. Kirk now no longer takes Shuckie back from you after a day, instead giving you an incentive to raise Shuckie's friendship. Once you raise it high enough, he gives you the Antique Pot, which (currently) acts like an evolution Stone for Shuckle.
- Kirk now no longer checks for the species as well, allowing the sidequest to be completed immediately by showing him an evolved Shuckie. This does mean that this can be bypassed with the right OT and ID, but you basically need ACE or RNG manip to achieve that so its a non-issue.
Adds a new NPC to the Debug Area that auto-completes the Pokedex when spoken to, plus gives you a free Celebi. Helpful for checking out dex entries, cries and other stuff like it.
The bolts are also raging but they look fucking dumb so who cares
- Adds Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt, complete with sprites and learnsets. Gouging Fire was done by Zeta_Null, and Raging Bolt was done by Albatross, who did a great job at making the giraffe-necked smilodon look less ridiculous.
- Added a proper dex entry for Wake, based on the ones added in SV's Indigo Disk DLC.
- Fixed a bug with Lickilicky and Lickilord's dex entries where they weren't terminated correcly
- Made Rock Slash less obscene, now acting like Stone Edge without the raised crit chance.
- Changed the layout of the Beginning World (Debug Room) ever so slightly.
This covers everything but Blue's Lab.
Cal's House has Cal play the role of SW97 Gold, with his mother lamenting his leaving and his brother Ken praising his travels.
Silver's House is a carbon copy of the original. It's worth noting that Silver is less of an arsehole in SW97, so things could change wrt dialogue. This also violates some canon: It's heavily implied in HGSS onwards that Ariana is Silver's mother, chiefly because of her hair. It's worth noting that this hasn't been fully substantiated, and in GSC itself, Ariana has brown/purple hair in all interpretations, which is the basis for the theory. This warrants further discussion.
This adds the Kanto Pokemon Centre maps, which combined with the Nihon versions, means every region has its own layout. This should make for some very immersive gameplay, no?
This adds the Pokemon Centre infrastructure for Nihon and Silent Hills's one.
For all future Nihon Pokemon Centres, they must refer to the 2F one for the warp, and the map blocks for 1Fs should use the Nihon variant.
Kanto will follow suit (eventually). The aim is to make a more immersive region structure.
This adds Quiet Cave, with all the relevant details. Wild Pokemon still don't appear, though.
I defined it as a route, as if it were a cave, the Pokemon would jump out anywhere, regardless of grass.
Used Minamitoku's translation of Nihon Route 1 to add substance to Route 49. Now very accurate. Sioned may be moved inside, given he wasn't originally there.
This commit adds Nihon Route 49. It has everything necessary to work, but the wild Pokemon don't seem to spawn. I've added infrastructure that should allow this to happen, and it works for Kanto, so I am presuming that some other tomfoolery is at work.
I've also added Folage and Barreau, and implemented Folage into the Headbutt Tree table. This was to give them to the Bug Catcher on the route.
This fully adds Cliff Cave itself. The rest of the route isn't there, but you can access the cave via the Debug Room, featuring a crudely made cave structure.
I've also modified the Rock Smash wild data to feature some additional Pokemon. The Beach has a 20% Corsola, and Dark Cave has a 20% Phanpy, among other bits. Level scaling has also been applied.
The Cliff Cave music isn't right, I believe...but I don't know what it's actually meant to use, I haven't played HGSS since it was current gen.
Not broken up about it if we decide to just go with a demake of the original song for the sinjoh ruins but if we want a more original one here's a thing I slapped the fuck together lol
Currently plays in the Debug Room.
New Pokemon have been added and distributed across the region.
Leafeon
Glaceon
Sylveon
Coinpur - Night time on early routes over Rattata. I want to make an argument for branch evolving into Moibelle at night or if female.
Perrserker - Unobtainable for now.
Gentlarva - Ilex and Viridian Forest.
Pupal - Evolve Gentlarva.
Carapthor - Evolve Pupal.
Kotora - Mt. Mortar outside, Viridian Forest.
Gaotora - Evolve Kotora
Gorotora - Evolve Gaotora
Raitora - Evolve Kotora
Bittybat - Union Cave and other early routes.
Paraspor - Ilex & Viridian Forest
Vulpiii - Route 36, Burned Tower 1F
Annihilape - Trade Primeape
Pupperon - Route 36, Route 37, Burned Tower B1F
This is the first use of the placeholder graphic. Works like a charm - copypaste the folder whenever you add something new.
This required me to change the layout.link for cries but it seems to work just fine. Earthtron cry is now available for use on other Pokemon, which I think could be neat for Shi-Shi.
Well, sort of. There's still a lot you can do with Pryce's House, it needs more things.
I want to make it so Pryce only appears when the Red Gyarados has been defeated. Maybe he can give a TM or something too.
This commit does the following;
- Fix the weird landmarking because I was a dumb stupid idiot.
- Adds all the relevant signs.
- Adds Pryce's House over where the gym was. Just a cute, quaint little place.
This adds a readme with credits so far. Make sure to keep this updated so everyone knows what is and isn't done!
We also get the Running Shoes feature from the tutorial, finally making debugging bearable given how laggy Crystal's overworld can be at times.
Oh, and Munchlax.
- Added preliminary data for Walking Wake and the new Legendary Pokemon Shi-Shi.
- Changed Bellignan's dex entry to reference how Sprout Tower was constructed.
- Changed some dialogue in Sprout Tower to reflect this.
Wake sprite by EyeDonutz
Shi-Shi sprite by me, but still unfinished. Will definitely rework sometime.
This adds the Trader NPC to the Lake of Rage and restores its "town" environment.
The town is themed around evolution. The mart sells all the "normal" evolution stones, aiming to solve Johto's "stone problem" for Pokemon like Vulpix and Bellsprout. The Trader NPC actualises this, being at a point where most Pokemon are around Level 35-40, as is how we balanced it on Cinnabar Island in KEP.
The text is mostly revolved around the Gyarados, but this could shift.
The Gym isn't done - I don't have time to sort it at the moment - but I am thinking of making it a Pre-Gym. This doesn't make a lot of sense though, so maybe it should be changed to be the tower seen in an earlier build.
My first foray into adding Pokemon, here's Bellignan! Imported the sprite animation from Pokemon October. Works like a charm!
I also fixed the new evo stones, which didn't have their effects assigned yet.
