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?

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.
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.
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.
