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 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
- 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.
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.
