- 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.
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*
This is a pretty hefty commit, so let's break it down.
- Fixes Pokedex entries for Bittybat, Bulbasaur, and Shellder.
- ...presumably fixes the options menu.
- Adds a Fishing Group and water wild data to Diglett's Cave, also reduces the encounter rate. More to come.
- Modifies parties, including evolving Rival 2's starter.
- Attempts to fix the Ultra and Safari Balls by making `BallFactor` 4, which appears to be the intended number. Tests yielded positive results.
- Restores a ton of Japanese references that got removed in localisation, including some errors.
* 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.
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 is part of the removal of the Rocket Hideout. Floor 1 is repurposed to be a lore-centric room for Giovanni's character, located in Viridian Gym. I plan to have the Protector and TM Earthquake moved here.
The TM26 item pickup doesn't work for some reason. Otherwise, it's complete.
the ghost without silph scope fix doesn't work due to a codebase change, and the night shade wiggly animation causes a bank overflow
celadon university has 3 more books detailing lore from one of the old pokedex books
Overall completes Celadon University sans a problem with sprites being a bit corrupted until you leave. New Magikarp Salesman-esque events in other pokecenters which is kinda neat
This adds;
- Text and stuff on the interior to add some really nice worldbuilding
- Trainers outside that you can fight with repeatedly.
The trainers need yes/no menus but I can't figure it out for the life of me. If anyone can do it, lemme know!
Has the map connections, warps, and maps all done. A single person is there right now; Prof. Westwood V, as a reference to the early worldbuilding. I'll work on this more as time goes on.
Underwater Tunnel is a new area that links Route 25 to Route 10, basically just being a straight tunnel needing Surf to traverse.
Also given Seafoam Islands and Lorelei's room an unused palette that gives it a more icy feel
globals.asm was a hack that:
- gave rgbasm an extra 100k lines to read
- increased reliance on the python preprocessor
- made the makefile a mess
- gave object creation an extra step
- wasn't even necessary
This speeds up build time by at least a third.
