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.
- Yanma is no longer available at night on Route 35.
- Ilex Forest has nighttime Kotora and some slight night encounter reshuffles.
- Mt. Mortar is given a slight wallop over the head, levels are dampened down a chunk.
Increased Johto frequency a tad and added some more interesting bits.
I have labelled a bunch of unused trainers and put in some questions/prompts for further improvements
Levels NEED looking at by someone better than me (hi misty how r u)
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!
I am really not sure about Tricules and Scizor being here, it's just so early...we can give it a whirl though. The day restriction alone seems to be enough of a balancing measure.
Added Heracross since we want that increased Johto frequency.
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!
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
This boosts the levels on tons of encounters and distributes more Johto Pokemon (plus newly-added ones). Still a long way to go. More stuff labelled too.
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 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.
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.
Increases frequency of Phanpy encounters to be morning/day and replace Geodude in that time span. Adds 5% Jigglypuff from Silver that was removed (you'll see a lot of silver additions, it was a very based game)
Still need to fix the Headbutt trees and fishing groups, but this is a great start.
At a glance:
- Houndour and Slugma are now in the Burned Tower. Magby is also now featured as well as Magmar.
- Ilex Forest now uses mostly Johto Pokemon, including Yanma, Ledyba, and Spinarak.
- Larvitar is now in Mt. Mortar, and Marill is now an all-day encounter.
- Sneasel is now an all-day encounter in the Ice Path.
- Misdreavus replaces Gastly outside of Sprout Tower at night. That's Routes 31, 32, and 36.
- Murkrow is now a 10% encounter on all the routes near Ecruteak City. That's Routes 38, 42, and 37.
- Route 38 also has the all-day Snubbull encounters from GS, and uses Silver's data to have a Meowth-Moibelle dichotomy later.
- Route 42 also uses Gold's wild data, featuring Mankey, Flaaffy, and Girafarig. With Murkrow at night, this route is now very Johto-y.
- Route 43 also has Gold's Flaaffy and Girafarig, but keeps the presence of Furret from Crystal.
- Viridian Forest now has wild data built from Ilex Forest.
Markers for unimplemented Pokemon to be used have also been added. Buu as a nighttime Jynx replacement, etc.
- 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.
All tree variants now included in kanto maps, with an overhauled blue tree as opposed to the original because holy SHIT
Also Buoy graphics instead of Bollards in the middle of the ocean lol
- Bollards from Yellow
- Roof tiles from Yellow and Blue
- Trees and Signs from Green, Blue, and Yellow
- Improved roof shading
- Japanese PC Pokecenter Icon in Kanto tileset
- Oaks RBY lab design
- Some small amount of usage of new sign tiles in some Kanto maps
- Pewter City Museum roof finally doesn't have a crack in it
- also a fix for some messed up collision in silent hills lol
No scripts or Safari Game yet, but this removes the details of the Safari Zone's closure and adds the map back in. Fixed the entry zone and stuff while I was at it.
Fully functional.
Required a little tinkering because I'm vain and wanted the door to be accurate. Please understand.
When doing Viridian Forest I had a bit of a moment and kept trying to use the entirely wrong building when it was staring me in the face. I am sorry.
I'm getting an 8-bit error on Mewtwo's object code in Cerulean Cave B1F. Misty may need to check this, I'm just getting these locations put in the overworld.
- Changed name lists
- Made Overworld pink palette into purple palette
- Changed gender selection options
- Added Topaz's graphics (Enby Trainer)
- Changed more or less every gender check in the game to account for enby option
- Changed out Morty's palette on the trainer card to a more purple one to facilitate Topaz's graphics
KNOWN ISSUES / THINGS TO CHANGE
- Topaz's sprite does not currently render correctly on town map (check if this is a map issue or if it occasionally will pop up elsewhere as well)
- Bag Palette is still green like the tutorial made it. Might change it to yellow or something later on.
