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.
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
Adds the five eeveelutions we don't have, evo items for Glaceon and Sylveon, fixes Rhyperior's dex entry, renamed the Super Rod to Fishing Rod, and commented out the OW Crocky/Kabutops for now
Rhyperior files are dummies and will need to be properly edited with sprites, Rhydon evo data, etc, but it (and the other files included) show that the trainer and pokemon sprite indexes have been separated, which allows us to add the other KEP mons
