Did a second pass on the Level-up movesets, both to remove the Nihon HMs and tune up some mons that had more lacking movesets. Hope this overall makes the Pokemon feel more alive and enjoyable
- Buffed Dokuroar's stats, it now has a 580 BST like the Birds and the Beasts.
- Nerfed Dokuroar's catch rate, buffed its EXP yield, and made it genderless.
- Removed Dokuroar's Egg moves, and changed its learnset slightly - it no longer gets Leer, instead getting Scary Face, and now learns Bonemerang by level up.
This reworks Hippunk into Torpir (well, not entirely internally, it's still HIPPUNK there).
I have also done several new dex entries. May need vetting by some of the others, the writing is inconsistent.
A slapdash of various little bits and pieces.
- Lake of Rage has a small culture entry at the top to illustrate what we're setting out to do. I mentioned the shell middens and canonised it alongside GSC.
- Move constants now have their 16-bit IDs set up
- Palfixed Feradactyl and Pupperon, fixed former's credit with confirmation from pokeoctober
- Wiped out the must be 8-bit errors on various Pokemon's `base_stats.asm` files.
- Fixed some aspects of Strong Arm and Water Sport calling garbage data; this was due to them using 8-bit comparison systems where there needed to be 16-bits. This fixes a good bit of their HM usage. Battle bugs need resolving (presumably due to a lack of gfx?)
- Fixed AI scoring with Water Sport (hopefully)
- Updated the readme with some of our progress over the past 5 months.
This adds Ajawalcan's new name, using Mayan grammar and vocabulary resources to produce something truly befitting of the Kukulcan Pokemon. Before, we conflated Aztec and Mayan theology and have now chosen to squarely focus on the Mayan side of things, with Ruddy Ruins scheduled to be based on Chichen Itza.

Piloswine and Lapras pending; seem weak.
Octillery story seems to lewd even for a game that has decensored much of the original content.
Rapidash and Tauros entries give credence to featuring them around Ruddy Town with Coatl and Xatu.
Typhlosion entry allows for connections to the mujina (even if not wholly intentional, seemingly), which I quite enjoy. However, the dex entry is unsatisfactory.
Fixed the build issues caused by Zach's newly pushed sprites having too many colours.
Also, adds my version of the GSC-style Soldier sprite.
Also also, gave Dokuroar a slight weight increase to give it a better catch rate for the Heavy Ball.
Also also also, touched up the Dokuroar cutscene a bit (it now shakes the floor with each step, it moves slower, and its walking animation now animates correctly.)
Dokuroar, in all of its skeletal glory, has been added to the bottom of Lavender Crypt as a static encounter. It doesn't move when you interact with it, though...at first.
Also, gave Dokuroar a 100% chance to hold a Thick Club (it's MADE of bones, come on), a Snorlax-level catch rate, the Slow EXP group, a decent exp yield, and a very, VERY slight stat update.
This adds the SW97 and Fairy moves to the game. I have yet to do the effects for Coin Hurl, Synchronize, and Water Sport, but they seem relatively simple.
This also adds all the Fairy moves, including Moonblast, Strange Steam, and Play Rough, which become JEP-eligible under the game's criteria.
Animations not included. Sour Crystal may have what we're looking for, though.
A rework of the immediately previous rework. Huh.
Changes the Komainu name to Hyoshu, and implements the Yin form too, complete with stats, moves, and a very WIP sprite.
This reworks Shi-Shi into Komainu, a legendary Pokemon more in-touch with the mythology surrounding its design origins. It'll have two forms, centred around the yin/yang, considering its origins. See spreadsheet for more information.
Also rip fly shi-shi
This updates the file structure so the ROM builds properly. It also updates the base stat files of Trustan, Tanobi, and Foxfire (name tbc), and updates Tanobi's name as was meant to be done a while ago.
I've also assigned Luci's music as she describes in her track files.
This adds the baseline infrastructure to account for the Sevii Islands, while also fixing a couple of bugs. Zeta, please read the commit carefully!
Only real issue I noticed was that scrolling on the town map is infinite in all three new regions, implying there's something in `pokegear.asm` I haven't accounted for.
I've also ret'd the ezchat order and gen1 orders out of existence to reduce the sheer amount of 8-bit warnings. This abolishes gen1 compatibility (though this was already a bit fucked) in exchange for actually being able to debug things in a reasonable timeframe.
Evo moves commit is unfinished and doesn't work properly. Script in evolve.asm has details.
Summer Beach House now teaches Pikachu Surf and has two issues; one is that backing out of teaching Pikachu causes issues (basically, it only goes a correct way if you say yes), and the teaching menu uses tiles from the overworld because I am stupid.
Are you a bad enough dude to fix these bugs?
- Adds Mamoswine, alongside the new Hirsuswine, a slower and more tanky alternate evolution. Design by me, sprite by zuperZACH.
- Adds the framework for an alternate Yanma evolution, currently dubbed Pending03. It's designed to be based on a clubtail, albeit one that uses its tail like an actual weapon.
- Adds the framework for Emordrome, an alternate Normal/Ghost Girafarig evolution where the dark head grows and takes control. In order to not make the line any more complicated, Calflac has been removed entirely.
- Added cries for the Cubburn line.
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!
- Fixed/improved dex entries for Calflac, Stromen and Terrados.
- Fixed Bipulla's shiny, giving it the one from the beta.
- Added Calflac's shiny and official back sprite.
- Fixed Folage's, Stromen's and Munchlax's back sprites.
- Added Munchlax's shiny.
- Fixed Terrados' front sprite, and gave it a shiny palette (currently a clone of Gyarados')
- Added temporary colours to the Gen 1 trainer imports.
