This adds the S.S. Anne healer from FRLG that's notorious for gaslighting newer players who just think she's there.
This also adds an extremely early Mewtwo theme. It's far from finished, just happens to be in this commit as I was testing it in debug - thanks to Luci for working on this!
Updated bug list as well with things my friend Crunter found.
This sets up most of the content necessary for Galarian Articuno's event. In SwSh, it has 2 copies, so I'm doing that here too.
Right now, the fight doesn't work properly and the copies don't hide properly. Otherwise, it's roughly how we want it to be.
- Properly adds Brunswick Grotto, as well as Celeste Hill Outside and Celeste Hill Cave
- Citrine City received a minor redesign, putting the path to Brunswick Trail more to the west
- Added complete event for Galarian Zapdos as well as an encounterable, but unfinished Galarian Moltres, so all 3 birds can currently be caught
The warp at the moment is an absolute travesty, something on that tileset needs to change. Either that or we figure out something else.
Everything in the Grotto is done, except for making Galarian Zapdos disappear after being defeated. At least, to my knowledge...
Pokemon Tower 3F is dead until future notice - Martha said she wanted to compress the Diglett's Cave maps, though.
This adds all the required architecture for the new maps to work, as well as Kinchou01 to play when in Celeste Hill itself.
This doesn't add the events, though.
- Fixes a bug where the Game Corner poster would pretend to be an Arbok. Very effective disguise.
- Fixes some text in Celadon University that would simply look odd. I need to use hyphens more, the rest of the game does it!
- Decapitalised the "normal-type" in Viridian Pre-Gym to match the rest of the game.
- Changed some SFX cues to use the level-up sound, but it's clearly crysaudio that causes this. Will talk with Dannye.
This commit adds a large fundamental change to KEP, that being Gym Rematches.
This is achieved alongside a rework to the script that makes those post-game-gating NPCs shift around. If you add a new one, just add its constant to the lists you'll see in the Hall of Fame script.
It also fixes a few bugs:
- Fixed a bug where Cinnabar Gym loaded a fleet of Blaines. This occurred due to the way he is coded at base, and a misunderstanding I had when implementing his scaling. This is now fixed by standardising his gym script instead, while letting the gym trainers still use the old one.
- Fixed a bug where the Up-Grade NPC would not appear after beating Silph Co. 11F. However, Giovanni currently seems to have trouble with his text. This floor needs some re-coding anyway, given we need to add Jessie and James to it.
And some misc. changes:
- Changed the first Moon Stone in Mt. Moon to a Poison Stone for the Nidoking speedrunners
- Debug Mode now has a line of code to set up the post-game easily
- Changed Surge's initial battle text to Yellow's
- Added Sabrina's more accurate LGPE initial battle text, referring to the spoon she bent by accident
This is basically done, but has a few glitches to iron out that I don't have time to do today. So, I'm sending this in as-is with the intent to finish (or someone else can idc) it later.
I initially thought to restrict this to after Vermilion Gym but Persian is really bad and Arcanine doesn't compare to the L30 Dugtrio, so I think it's ok. Just barely balances itself out.
Bugs:
- GiveMonName doesn't work properly for the Vermilion Beauty after receiving the Pokemon, jank ensues.
- Text scrolls immediately when receiving the Pokemon from the Vermilion Beauty.
Minor upgrades in accordance with the recent KEP playtest.
The Mt. Moon Rocket with the Raticate is arguably one of the most iconic NPC trainers in Pokemon history and under no circumstances should it be cut. No matter what Yellow tells you.
Added a nice Arbok NPC to the Game Corner to make more use of the new overworld sprites I did. It's basically a guard for the attendant to its left - need some safety in casinos, y'know? Especially pachinko parlours...
I put the Arbok text in `text_2.asm` since it'll likely be used by other maps down the line. Or not, but it's good for architecture.
The Candy Jar is now obtainable in the Indigo Plateau, instead of being an item obtained from Chief. I've removed most Chief-related stuff but expect some instability after you beat him, as I don't believe I completely removed the function to call the text.
The Candy Jar will now not collect candies in the following instances;
- It isn't in the bag.
- The total would go over 40.
Just makes sense and ensures players are engaging with the proper intentions. The 40 total is necessary, as over 40 stops the jar from working. This does mean some candies are "lost", but the players see that.
There's a bug where Meltan will have the moves of the Pokemon it's replacing and I don't know why. I've tried a bunch of fixes in `LoadEnemyMonData` but it didn't seem to want to work.
- Attempted to fix the Mt. Moon J&J encounter (did not work, will look at the script file)
- Fixed a few bugged warps relating to Mt. Moon Square/Crater
- Fixed the credits text layout (just need to figure out how to decrease the delay between them, so it still matches the music...)
- Added the Crater guard back
- Changed the silhouettes in the credits to be more prominent Pokemon (Leader and E4 aces, plus some postgame teasers in Omega for the Chief fight, and the legendary wings)
This fixes the issue with Mt Moon Square's NPC text and changes the Battle Tent to a continuous system.
The Battle Tent's new system circumvents the issue with wBTStreakCnt while providing the player with more agency. They'll get constant prize money after each battle and can abandon the challenge at any time. It may feel more grindy but in my opinion works just as well.
I am not sure why the fossils don't show properly at the moment - it isn't related to going past $FF, as the Old Amber shows.
Dome and Wing specifically don't show properly and need fixing down the line.
- Changes Bill's Garden to be a more fitting Overworld-tileset map
- Gives Cinnabar Volcano a unique palette, being a slightly less-bright version of the RedMon palette
- A few small changes/improvements to the Rival teams
- Reduced wild encounter levels in Silph Gauntlet a little
- Adds a 100% chance for a Magmar encounter when fishing in the Cinnabar Volcano lava
- Hides more 'secret' areas off the Pokedex area listing, namely Mt. Moon Crater and Faraway Island
- Improves Jabetta's sprite a little
Still need to find out what I want to do with Body Slam, Swords Dance, and Thunder Wave. Slam/SD are on the Sevii Islands, and TWave is on an existing NPC who usually gives Self-Destruct.
Could possibly refactor the item receiving text.
This adds the Mt Moon Square House, faithfully recreated from GSC. I haven't yet sorted out the important details regarding the Crater Guard and such, though.
Making the map involved making a new desk tile and making house tile $36 be considered a counter tile. Hopefully there aren't any adverse consequences but I've never seen anything of that nature.
I noticed there are a ton of Clefairy text bits, so I refactored it to be a single line farcalled from `text_7.asm`. This also involved an interesting thing with the Pokemon Fan Club where the Pikachu fan has a Clefairy, so I fixed that too.
I figured that adding the dance was a little difficult right now, so we have Clefairys walking around instead.
I haven't figured out a good place to add the ladders yet (since there should be two entrances) but we'll figure that out eventually. It's plausible that we just make the Crater the southern warp, but I like how out-of-the-way the current one is.
Oh, and I fixed the Crater warps.
Overall, functional, but not finished.
This adds Victory4 in its original form over Mt. Moon Square's music, which could possibly have the initial jingle removed. I noticed the GSC version was being used, which wasn't ideal.
Mt. Moon Square's map is added, with accessibility where the Crater's originally was (for now). One warp on the south part of the map doesn't go anywhere (actually it's a glitch city). The shop and Clefairy event aren't done yet.
The Mt. Moon Crater Guard has been removed with the pretence of re-adding him on the Square map once it's finished.
I'm trying out having the text in the raw script file without farcalling, which seems to be more optimal than doing it the way the devs originally did it. The Battle Tent does this too.
This now, technically, works.
However, the Battle Tent was seemingly made with the assumption trainers are Pokemon, which our hack has moved from. I've made it so it can load it as a trainer battle properly, but you will deathwarp. I need to implement a scripted loss system.
Some Celadon University trainers were in slightly inconvenient locations, making a straight line to the door clunky.
Also, generally made the readme more useful.
This is...most of the stuff necessary for the Battle Tent to work. I've faithfully restored most things so far, including doing a few grammar tweaks.
Main issue is that we get a really strange softlock when the Pokemon selection menu comes up. Not sure why, but point is, it can't progress to the next bit for debugging like this. Committing now to ask for assistance.
- Made Gym Leader levels more consistent
- Updated sprites, including a complete redo of Espeon's (based off the Gold sprite)
- Fixed an issue where Blue would have an incorrect team
- Changed Celadon Gym trainer text to accomodate for being a girl
This commit adds NPCs and signs to Citrine, doing some significant worldbuilding in the process. I considered adding an event where Oak greets you like how the Magma/Aqua Admins do on the ORAS Battle Resort, but it seemed a little too on-the-nose, y'know?
There was an issue where you wouldn't be walked out of doors automatically, which was quite immersion-breaking. That was because the door tile IDs weren't defined - this is fixed too.
Some map elements have been altered to facilitate the new changes, and obviously, some map sprite slots have been filled.
Importing and changing the Battle Tent is most likely my next task.
This update does a good few things. Giovanni now uses his unused encounter theme in all pre-fights, which is followed by the regular evil trainer theme when you're about to fight him. This feels very correct. His team has also been minorly altered.
I backported LGPE's pre-fight monologue for Giovanni in Rocket Hideout B4F. Adapted for RB's story, of course, no Cubones here. The original text is very awkward and abrupt, and it also makes the encounter theme feel much more effective in delivery. I think a lot of people can appreciate this.
I also backported Jessie and James for Rocket Hideout B4F while I was at it. I had to change their event script quite a bit for it to fit, and their walking seems...awkward. Regardless, it's functional. The rest will be done with time.
To make future dev door testing easier, I'm keeping all warps I've previously used in comments.
With the way KEP is shaping up, the Rocket Hideout can easily stay with little issue. I don't expect it to be a problem at all. Therefore, in the interest of keeping Lavender Tower's progression the same, it's being restored. I do expect some Lavender Tower floors to be nommed, though.
I expect Silph to also be salvageable but I also really hate Silph.
Oh, also, the Game Corner guard has been buffed. He sucks. They call that a guard??
Warps are messed up at the moment and we need to test it for Old Sea Map purposes. It uses the Fuchsia palette right now but that's not an issue right now
The warps are currently broken for reasons I can't figure out for the life of me. Faraway Island works but is loaded in a glitched state where other warps break and are generally very unstable, while Citrine softlocks. It's progress, though.
This adds a map for Cinnabar Volcano's floors in the run-up to Moltres. I used a S.S. Anne style compression technique here, having 4 floors on a decently sized map that are just far enough apart for a player to never actually see them. This maintains their suspension of disbelief while giving us way more space to work with. I want to compress a lot of RBY maps like this if push comes to shove - there's a lot of places where this is possible.
In the interests of compression, I started using the Agatha bank again, as I removed a lot of maps from there when making bank 22. There's some space for maps.
Also I made 3 more blocks for cavern which caused it to overflow the bank it was in - fixed that by swapping with PreGym, which is probably much smaller.
Cinnabar Volcano hasn't been changed yet in the interest of Martha finishing that bit up.
I messed up Garnet Cavern's 2F name for some reason
Also added all the warps which are, ironically, exactly the same as the international Cerulean Cave. Added the event for Galarian Articuno but gee I hope the constant skip doesn't cause any issues
Currently just uses the RG Unknown Dungeon map, which should be changed accordingly. The warps and stuff outside of basic entry aren't implemented.
Has a halved encounter rate compared to other maps, which matches the idea that caverns don't sustain much wildlife.
Mt Moon theme may not be used in the final product.
- Fixed an issue where KEP's new static encounters would sometimes not disappear correctly
- Fixed an issue where boulders wouldn't fall down holes
- Fixed issues where the SS Anne Rival and Oak in the Indigo Plateau wouldn't appear, causing a softlock
- Fixed an issue where the Mt. Moon fossils wouldn't disappear
- Added several items back after they were previously removed
- All of the Silph Gauntlet maps use the same palettes as the map's they're based on
- Viridian Forest uses Viridian's palette, it just makes sense
- Power Plant is now yellow, just 'cause.
- Game Corner payouts are much faster, and have been slightly rebalanced
This adds Citrine Mart, which is battle-centric. It sells all the "strongest" items and makes Max Revives renewable.
I made a specialised tileset for Citrine Mart, combining the old and new styles to make something that feels right.
I am tired of doing the Legendary wing event, so I'm populating Citrine City.
Some notes;
- I refactored the In-Game Trades to match their nicknames and re-distributed them.
- I swapped Fuschia's bench guy for the third unused one meant for the safe house, but I may outright restore these.
- I refactored the Pokecenter Hidden Objects to all use the same set - they're clones of each other, so this works out. This saves a TON of bytes and works fine.
- I placed the Harry trade for Kadabra/Alakazam in Citrine Pokecenter as it feels right for such a powerful Pokemon to be post-game.
Includes the same healing pad that was in Lavender Tower, as a reward for getting halfway! Trainers can't currently see you, which I'll fix once I've added the trainers on 2F and 3F.
This adds the first half of an event where you will find the Galarian Birds. It is not finished yet.
It currently bugs out when Galarian Zapdos tries to run away and I don't know why. Frame-by-frame, it seems to be when the player has to move. I've tried different things to make this less bad, but they don't work.
Here's how it's meant to go:
1) Articuno flies away (done)
2) Zapdos barges past the player like Silver does in GSC (bugs out)
3) Moltres moves in front of the player and engages (not done)
If anyone has a better way to do this, please let me know!
Minor changes;
- Connection for Brunswick-Citrine looks nicer
- Celeste has a few changes to make the event run easier.
The groundwork for Brunswick Trail events has been done. Wild data, Cactus event, and Zapdos-G events are set up, plus an NPC. This also makes the Fake Tree sprite available.
I made the warp at the tunnel in Brunswick goes directly to Celeste Hill and back. Warp tile made functional.
Many bugs right now:
- Cactus doesn't disappear after battling it. Also, making this work how I want it to is hard.
- Pokemon are encountered on every tile, which is likely because it's considered to be indoors. In trying to fix this, I seemed to completely screw up the maps, so this isn't being committed. Handle this with care.
- I made a spriteset specifically for Citrine, but it doesn't seem to be working for Brunswick, likely because Brunswick is an indoor map and thus isn't just taking it.
Misc. changes:
- Moved Sandy Shocks to a 4% encounter slot in Mt. Moon Crater to be equal to Scream Tail.
- Restored the proper translation for the "rotten PRESIDENT" scientist, courtesy of Dr. Lava and Nob Ogasawara.
- Brunswick Trail and Faraway Island now use correct palettes.
- Faraway Island has been altered slightly with the same tileset as Celeste Hill
- It's now possible to fly from Citrine locations, as well as Faraway Island, and the roof of both Celadon's Mart and Mansion.
Now has new music (the Mt. Moon Square theme from GSC, which was originally planned as a victory theme in Gen 1), as well as functioning wild encounters and items.
Right now I'm facing a weird bug where if you enter, you get the quote, but the fight doesn't start and it happens while you're stepping for some reason. Very odd.
To-Do List for Brunswick Trail:
- Galarian Zapdos event (give hide/show data)
- Tunnel to Celeste Hill (tileset moment)
- Couple by the sea
- Fake Tree (Cactus, may need a spriteset)
- Wild data (needs doing)
- Maybe a few trainers?
This adds Pikachu, Cat, and "Small Bird" menu icons. The cat has a custom animation done by myself.
The Jigglypuff in the Pokemon Centre now uses the new sprite, nice 'n' pretty. Officer Jenny is also in Cerulean. The Pokemon from Melanie's house in Yellow have been put in Mr. Fuji's House, given the purpose of the house in RB is different. I think it ends up fitting very nicely.
Chansey has been given its proper sprite in Fuschia. Yellow didn't actually do this, as Chansey doesn't have a walk cycle, causing the stuff that exists to go unused. I wanted it, though, so I had Chansey just not walk and turn around. Oh, and it's in all the Pokemon Centres now. Yeah, that's a...lot of changed files.
Some big dubs for KEP today. This commit backports the Yellow overworld spriteset, and also adds the cat sprite for Meowth. This allows Jessie and James to use their overworld sprites in the Rocket House and serves as groundwork for backporting their other events.
There are altered Daisy and Nurse Joy sprites that may or may not warrant usage. That can be discussed.
Naturally, this also means there's a ton of overworld sprites to use elsewhere. Revamps of the "Bulbasaur house" in Cerulean and the Surfing Pikachu sprite change come to mind.
An & symbol has been backported from GSC for Jessie and James's trainer class as well.
Fixes a few small text issues, updates the readme, and rebalances the fishing rod Pokemon. Also shifted Blottle to earlier in the Pokedex, cause I felt like it.
Currently the move tutor is a little bit broken - the IDs are 1 above how they should be. Shell speculates that it's searching at the table starting from Kangaskhan due to the way the decrements shake up but it may just be making things more complicated than they are.
Big cheese code is `PrepareTradebackMoveList`, it's where things are mucking up.
Also, the code can be significantly optimised, as it's currently being adapted from the function above, `PrepareRelearnableMoveList`; It doesn't need to check levels, for example.
Note that the relearner functions properly, so use it as a reference. I may have removed something important.
Technically, we could have NO_MON as an entry which may make things shake out properly. But I'd rather have a proper fix.
This adds the Mega Punch & Mega Kick guys from FireRed and LeafGreen.
Given Mega Punch was in Mt. Moon, and GF replaced it with Thief in FRLG, I decided to change the TM to the Wing Fossil, which currently isn't obtainable outside of Mt. Moon Crater.
This reverts some of the opening-up stuff we did. I kept the Cut Trees around Vermillion and Celadon Gym packed away, as they aren't problematic and forcing HMs in gyms is cringe. But, the absurd skips made possible by the other Cut Trees being gone is way too much - Celadon is a huge power spike and it throws Martha's fishing balancing off the rails.
This map is pretty much finished, save for the map sprites for Jessie, James, and the unused Cat (aka Meowth) being imported, as well as an & symbol. This adds everything else - the marts, the Rocket Trio fight, the meeting music, the tileset, the trainer class for Jessie/James, I could go on. A ton of work well-done.
Lots of things here. Citrine now has its own tileset featuring content from the prototype asset leak. This includes new grass, signs, and so on. Lots of tinkering had to be done to make it look good, but it does! Collision and everything is done, but grass needs to animate properly. I'm committing as-is because making the grass animate is actually very difficult.
Also added the Metal Coat and fixed the issues with prior evolution methods - evo items first, level-up second. It is currently unobtainable.
This moves Snorlax as Ema suggested and removes the Cut tree in front of Surge. This is to stay in-line with the current idea of an open-world Kanto.
Also changes the Magmortar trainer in Cinnabar as that's Blaine's ace now.
So this isn't working very well. It's halfway there and worked exactly once with what I can only describe as a cosmic ray event.
Here's how it's intended to work: Right as you open the Card Key door, Omega comes barging through, having previously been fighting with Giovanni.
The walking and stuff seems to work, but there are three issues:
- Omega's battle doesn't start, causing a softlock. `call TalkToTrainer` seems to be the iffy point. Note that this code is usually used when talking to a static entity.
- The music bugs out as Omega walks over; this may be linked to the above problem.
- Once these issues are alleviated, Omega will have to disappear, but this isn't a massive deal.
Also includes a dev door in Red's room to easily access the event, and minor code cleanup with Viridian Pre-Gym and Oak's lab - just unnecessary comments.
Added map data for Citrine City, including wild spawns, as well as a fly location. Also fixed an issue where Bill's Garden couldn't spawn wild Pokemon. Citrine is also green for some reason.
A guy in a Safari Zone Rest House will hand you a Meltan he found lost. It's built off the Lapras guy in Silph.
Also changes the positions of some trader NPCs in the Pokemon Centres to match the others.
Alright, never put items after the floors. This is very, very bad, as it actually causes a myriad of problems whenever the game tries to assert the item list on its lonesome. Effectively, this has been adding floors. This caused the item descriptions to be offset by 21 spaces once you get to the TMs. The fact it worked before was a miracle.
Anyway, all considerations have been made when doing this, so it should all be just fine.
If you need to test if the items are ok, check the Up-Grade on Porygon, as it's the last in the list. Checks showed it was ok for me.
Also, Old Sea Chart now uses the localised name - Old Sea Map. This actually fits in-game, which is good.
- Regional trades now dummy out the "-A" thing etc so they look nice
- Added Celadon, Saffron, Viridian, and Vermillion regional trades
- Added Galarian Sidegrade trades to the S. S. Anne, but Perrserker and Sirfetch'd specifically don't work. I have zero clue why, as they work the same as the rest.
- Corrected grammar in the "Happy" text when you finish a trade
- Puts back Channelers to allow progress for now; currently goes to undefined places
- Tweaked two trainer parties with odd mons
- Jessie/James sprite in proper place
- Put little girl text back because it caused a problem
- One Celadon Gym cut tree removed to allow cut-less progress
- Fixed the rival picking the wrong team vs eevee
- Fixed the rival loading wrong in s.s. anne
Replaces the nonsensical Crocky static with a more fitting Wugtrio encounter. Currently (hilariously) makes the Champion theme play in the battle, working on a fix later
This is a cave that connects Bill's Lighthouse and Route 10, only accessible after Surf is obtained. Contains a static Dragonite as a reference to the anime!
- Move Deleter and Move Relearner are added, featuring updated code from Shin Pokered, which took the code from Mateo's Red++ hack. They replace the Trader in Celadon University. The code has been updated quite a bit to fit the modern standards of pokered.
- The Trader has been moved to the trade room in Cinnabar Lab, which is thematically appropriate.
- Eevee's L1 learnset now appropriately features Tail Whip; this was a mistake made by Martha when porting Yellow learnsets.
- Fast Text cursor slot is fixed
- New ROM Bank stores the new maps as it got full when adding the move relearner/deleter - Maps 21 will still have space though.
- WRAM has been fiddled with, please please read the notes if you edit the Move Relearner area, it needs quite a bit of space.
- Wild data for Mt. Moon and Route 22 has been tweaked a little bit.
This code has a lot of problems with solutions that me and Frrf can't seem to figure out. We've taken a lot of references from Erika's Gym but we've got many bugs after Yujirou is defeated, such as one case where you end up instantly doing the rematch fight, which is insane because there's no way this can actually happen.
What's committed is a fight that can be re-fought when it shouldn't.
This map is fully functional but has a lot of bits to iron out, as well as a need for Gym Trainers. I'm also not wholly satisfied with Yujirou's team; maybe remove Eevee?
Yes, I designed an entire tileset for this. Fear me. Bow before me. Actually, don't, this was beyond rational thought.
Current issues;
- Yujirou's sprite doesn't work properly.
- Needs Gym Trainers (hell)
- Yujirou needs an event for being beaten, the refight, and more.
Seems to interact oddly with Saffron but I believe this is because of the way Team Rocket works. The event itself works fine.
Also added the Up-Grade, as before, Porygon was evolving via Trade.
Uses text referencing LGPE, and has a similar location.
Because of the sprite limit in Saffron, the Pidgeot NPC has been removed.
This refactors the Celadon University trainers to ensure that they process properly without the odd memory leak-y thing I did before. Overall works the same, just works for the intended purpose.
I also applied what I learned to Professor Oak, giving a Yes/No prompt and adding some pre-battle music as I originally intended.
Thanks to Frrf for helping me fix the broken code I initially sent in. This commit refines the mode so that the Oak Lab cutscene is finished and the party picking process is all concrete.
Also, given Surge is a fight, the S.S. Anne Pikachu rival can have Raichu, surely...
Also, the UnusedNames files were, in fact, needed...otherwise, the item names get all corrupted. Probably left some code behind.
So we officially have a new funky mode!
So some bits of this are untested, but the base starters are unaffected. I had to work a lot with the sprite limits so Oak's lab has been changed a bit.
This adds a Pikachu and Eevee "mode" to the game, allowing you to pick them as starters. When doing so, the Rival will always pick the opposite.
There are some glitches;
- Picking Charmander makes Blue erase himself from existence
- Picking from anywhere other than the front of the table may have odd results.
- Oak has to be shown in the lab at the start from now on for some reason; side effect of removing the dexes, there's definitely a fix for this.
These are from me not finishing the ball picking process - it was a little weird.
Parties based on starters have been updated but I had to cut out a lot of unused trainer slots.
Also the unused names were removed.
Bill's House is now finished and fully functional, save for the PC. I've left some commented-out code to have the dex entries in case someone wants to do that.
I did some groundwork for a Blastyke starter but it's really difficult and unwieldy, so I've left it out of this commit and likely won't bother. Pikachu and Eevee mode is definitely in the cards though.
This adds the Dubious Disc Salesman to Cinnabar Pokemon Centre. I chose this area because it's late in the game and it seemed a bit iffy to constantly have to go with Pokemon Centres not in towns. Cinnabar has some connection to Silph, so it makes more sense than just balancing.
There are probably improvements that could be made (eg. a quote as you buy) but the salesman code is surprisingly brittle so I'd rather not break stuff for hours for something that already works perfectly fine.
Rowan NPC added to Cinnabar Lab, just a little cute thing.
Bill's Garden could see many revisions, what's here is the bare minimum. Here's what's done:
- Nidorino NPC blocks it off and is unlocked in the post-game. This currently contradicts the myth - I have a plan for this soon.
- Wild Pokemon are the "non-reproducibles" given in Stadium; starters and eevee are mandatory given those were common in the myth
- Hisui forms should be added when possible
- I had to remake Martha's map in the forest tileset so leaving would be possible
- Everything is at a point where it functions
- Replaces the Old Rod with the Candy Sack, an item to evolve Meltan into Melmetal. Meltan and Melmetal aren't in yet.
- Improves Gym Leader and Elite Four AI by a lot. They still use items, they're just better. Fixes XSpecial use while we're at it; before, it didn't actually increase the stat...
- The Scarlet Book now takes up both shelves, one section for each Paradox Pokemon. I also moved the bookshelf so it looks nicer.
- Text in Celadon University has been reduced significantly, taking up less memory and being a bit more RBY-like. It has also been made more accurate (thanks to Daiginjo for translating my booklet!)
- The Magikarp researcher in Celadon University now gives TM Dragon Rage (no longer unused!)
- Added a guard for Mt. Moon Crater.
- Removed TrainerNamePointers, Blank Leader Name Code, and Dakutens/Hakutens using a guide published by YakiNeen.
- PP no longer uses a shitty graphic and is instead properly implemented into the font, optimising the status screen. Also displays in-battle which is kinda cool.
- Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha now play the Gym Leader theme, not just Lance.
Still unsure how to fix Celadon University's trainers, all I know is a lot of the information should be taken from the Oak fight I did. The code is radically different and doesn't call trainer headers at all. You'll likely want to start from scratch.
The Mt. Moon Crater Guard's text is a little wonky, not sure what's up there. May have been from the way I accessed Mt. Moon in testing. Anyway, if you want to mess around feel free.
All of the Ubers have sprites now (goodbye Lion Pory2!), fixed a small bug I made on Route 19 when resizing Cinnabar, and some minor text updates/fixes.
Adds fossils, Black Augurite, and a few other neat items to Mt. Moon Crater, given it's where the "ancient" Paradox Pokemon are. Seemed cool to me. Also does a few misc things
This adds gym scaling for every leader, plus Koichi of the Fighting Dojo.
Me and Ema decided to give Koichi scaling, as he is a gym leader in everything but class. I will likely give Yujirou the same treatment once he's all set up.
The parties have not been set up, assuming Martha is working on them.
An important note: space is somewhat limited on trainers now, so the leaders will need implementing incrementally. You will most likely have to remove unnecessary trainers to make this work.
This was surprisingly easy to add, albeit a bit awkward. I learned how to add trainer battles without headers this way, so I may go back to CeladonU and restructure with this in mind.
This commit adds a fully functioning Professor Oak fight, using the Rival party choice script as a launchpad. You can desynchronise the choices easily, just a few number changes. I used the S. S. Anne 2F and Route 22 scripts to hodgepodge it together.
Because of how I did this, Oak is fully re-fightable, taking inspiration from XY Serena's daily re-fights.
I tried to add a Yes/No prompt, but it would still pull you into the fight, presumably because it's calling a beforebattle script before the code. It's a bit of a hassle and my CeladonU code sucked, so I decided to leave it out for now.
It's intended to be unlocked once you enter the Hall of Fame, thus that change there. That hasn't been tested properly so uhhhh *shrug*
* Wild data added to the Mt. Moon Crater
* CoolTrainer NPC (young Sada) added to the Pewter Museum of Science.
* [EXPERIMENTAL] Added the Scarlet Book to the hidden item list for the Pewter Mueseum of Science.
Notes;
* This commit will not work without SV Pokemon being implemented.
* The Scarlet Book has not been placed correctly. The tileset for the museum doesn't load properly in Polished Map, so I'm kind of stumped. Neither has Sada.
Things to do:
* Add an NPC to Mt. Moon B2F that blocks off the crater, along with a warp there. NPC should disappear when you have 8 Gym Badges.
The map functions and the ROM builds. It has no wild data, and nothing goes to it.
What's done;
- Map design, I think this is one of the best I've ever done, especially within these limits.
- Integration, set up a warp and you can go there, easy.
What's not done
- Wild data
- Fishing group
- Water mons
- Event signs
- Young Sada in Pewter Museum of Science
Very simple map to produce.
This was hell to do. There is still one bug in there, and that's the item pickups don't work for some reason. I don't know how these work honestly so if anyone wants to sort that go ahead.
Anyway, some stuff on the map;
- Currently, a warp from B1F leads there, which is intentionally non-returnable. The player walks through the whole map to get to the warp panel. A walk of humanity's shame, if you will. A warp for where the player is meant to go will be necessary later.
- Lore from Japanese media, particularly the first movie's interpretation of Mewtwo, is included. This is based on context clues on its canonicity from LGPE and other bits.
- A clue on how to get the Old Sea Chart is not-so-subtly included.
The MissingNo. event is unfinished, I intend for Martha to deal with that. The text intentionally lacks a "done" bit to force an unpredictable error; I believe this is inconsequential gameplay-wise and should make for a good opening quote when fighting it.
Oh, and Faraway Island has Mankey, Butterfree, and Primeape as find-able Pokemon now. This should be expanded upon later.
This is a reference to another bit of the Tamamushi booklets, where they talk about the Pokemon that can fly without wings.
Also, shortened one of the text chains. In general, they need to be much shorter.
Very dissatisfied with the map as-is. Needs a lot of work, possibly another tileset based on the `interior` one. I tried adding one but came across constant problems and the one I came up with kind of sucked. No events or warps yet.
I am 90% sure something will bug out, can't test the map right now for obvious reasons. Tested everything else, though.
Mostly copied data from Cinnabar Volcano while commenting out Vermillion Dock Mew info to move it.
Wild data has been added along with a fishing group, just dummied out slots.
Old Sea Chart is a clone of the Citrine Pass which is all it needs to be. It is obtainable near the truck.
- Replaces tiles east and west of Cerulean so you can roam back to Mt. Moon and over to Rock Tunnel with no issue.
- Adds the Faraway Island sign, with a - "JI" bit to represent Mr. Fuji. This was in the Japanese release, but never got translated internationally. "I depart" may need fine-tuning, as it implies he died; this was a mistranslation, obviously.
- Added a text bank for the Mew encounter to make Martha's job easier later.
This adds the maps on their own with fully functional warps between each other. Music has been set to Viridian Forest. Mew, wild data, and a way to get there have not been added.
