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?
- 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!
This required me to scrap some unused content from `load_font.asm`. However, this is only really a temporary fix - we need to decouple footprints.asm from it and make it load from separate banks to keep going.
Look at how Pokemon sprites are loaded for reference.
Toedscool, Toedscruel, Blottle, Pendraken, Kolta, Balumba, Magnetite, Magnezone, and Gavillain.
Balumba has a small chance to hold a Fairy Feather, which makes it vaguely obtainable.
Kolta is now found in the day in the Burned Tower, whereas Houndour is seen at night. Technically balances it, right?
Gavillain is a rare Dark Cave encounter on the Blackthorn side, dragons and all that.
Balumba is a rare encounter in the National Park!
This adds the lost RBY trainer classes and a few unused ones. No sprites because I keep messing up the alpha channels among other things. I shall simply ask Martha.
Also spruced up the readme slightly.
Fixes Molambino and Luanbo not evolving properly (oops) and adds Magiprey/Terrados. Since there's no place to put Magiprey in Johto or Kanto, this'll likely be a Nihon exclusive. Got some stuff in mind!
- 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 WInd Ride, complete with a unique (and frankly, a bit over-the-top) animation. Learned by Shi-Shi at L1 and L70.
- Gave Aeroblast and Sacred Fire to Lugia and Ho-Oh respectively at L60, so that a Move Reminder isn't required to teach them those moves.
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.
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.
