- Adds a slightly remade version of the Rocket battle theme that plays when fighting Rocket Grunts, Jessie & James, and Giovanni (1 and 2)
- Giovanni 3 and Chief now share a new battle theme composed by myself and LuciShrimp, which is a slower, more intimidating remix of the regular Rocket fight theme.
- Gave Giovanni 3 his own trainer class, allowing for better AI routines and smarter move choices.
- Removed Giovanni's name from the Viridian City Gym statues to keep his identity a further secret. It also made more sense than in vanilla.
- Gave the postgame Morimoto fight a better selection of moves.
Includes Professor Oak's 5 teams, Chief's team, as well as the postgame teams for Yujirou, Koichi, Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, Erika, Koga, Sabrina and Blaine.
Now. Please. I beg of you. Do not change any more level up movesets unless necessary. I will not be going back to check these again. Doing this is pain.
I know that some people are gonna ask if 'Seren' is a misspelling of 'Serena', so I'm changing it so we won't get questions like that. It's now Elaine, which is the name of the LGPE protag so...kinda works
Also changed an inconsistency in Erika's 6 badges party where her Cactormus was a higher level than it should've been
Well, 'unique' is VERY loose here. He looks and behaves identically to a Black Belt still, just with a proper name and a higher payout. He replaces the unused Junior class.
In addition, I've brought back the text on the scrolls on the back wall in the Fighting Dojo that were accidentally inaccessible for a while.
Finally, he's here for you
It's the last member of the KEP crew
This Mon's so strong, it isn't funny
Can make a Dark-type cry out for mummy
Can push a boulder with relative ease
Makes Strength puzzles seem such a breeze
He may move slow, he can't learn Fly
But this Mon's one hell of a guy!
Well, most of them, at least. All of the bosses before and including the Elite 4 have had custom movesets added, and I'll work on the remaining postgame trainers later. This still needs some testing to ensure they're all correct, but I'm committing this as is for now.
- Added the unused rainbow palette for Celadon Gym.
- Fixed Faraway Island using Vermilion's palette.
- Rocket Hideout now uses the same palette as the Game Corner
- Minor text fixes
(oh and also Magnetite too i guess)
- Finally updated Oak's Pokedex rating checks to accommodate the higher number of Pokemon.
- Albatross strikes again, bringing updated sprites for Alolan Ninetales and Exeggutor, plus Aqua and Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros! Combat Breed is still the same.
Please note that the game is still unfinished, I'm hoping I can have the proper time and motivation to knock out the last few bugs and unimplemented features. Doing my best, okay? :3

Whoa, this one's been in the making for a while now. This one has been my attempt to fix as much as I could within a little over a month. Here's what I've got for you.
- Fixed a bug in Silph Gauntlet where the trainers would not see you unless you spoke to them
- Removed the unnecessary Gawarhed and Wugtrio static encounters. In what was once Gawarhed's place is a Rare Candy.
- Implemented a working ferry system (huge thanks to Red++) that allows travelling to Faraway Island and Citrine City with the right tickets. Currently both maps use a copy of the SS Anne, which may be revised later.
- Bittybat, Magnetite and Burgela have been removed to fix a Pokedex bug where entries wouldn't display correctly if the total number wasn't a multiple of 8.
- Fixed a bug where fishing up a Wiglett and Wugtrio would play the trainer battle and Champion battle themes respectively
- Restructured the Pokedex a little. Don't worry, Lickitung's still number 108!
- All references to betamon in the disassembly have had their names updated to match the new Ogasawara ones
- Removed Blastyke as a Game Corner prize, replacing it with Squeamata.
- Garnet Cavern is now properly listed as a dungeon map
- Fixed an issue where trying to leave Bill's House after entering the garden would put you back in the garden
- Moved Silph Gauntlet's Beauty down 1 floor to make the number of trainers on each floor more consistent
- Finished Gauntlet 6F except for the trainer text (PvK please help)
- Gavillain's stats updated to match KEP 1.4 on the Showdown server. It's now a Dragon/Electric type with less Ice coverage.
- Fixed Clefable's and Wigglytuff's starting movesets from an earlier commit
- Fixed an ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, EGREGIOUSLY FRUSTRATING BUG that caused the Pokedex's seen counter to rarely update. This is what caused this commit to be delayed for so long. No joke.
- New sprites, courtesy of Albatross, for Sylveon's back sprite, Alolan Marowak, Alolan Muk, Galarian Weezing and Magnezone!
- Fixed a bug preventing the trade for Haunter from being accessed.
More still need to be done but I'm separating the commits so I don't get overwhelmed lol
- Fixes a bug with the Up-Grade NPC in Saffron. He now properly shows up only after defeating Giovanni.
- Fixes a bug where Silph could be entered before receiving the Poke Flute.
- Silph Gauntlet 5F has a complete remodel, more closely matching the original map found in the leaks.
- One of the Fuchsia Gym Trainers no longer uses a repeat Arbok.
- Wiglett and Wugtrio could learn Rock Slide via TM, which has now been fixed.
- Jacky uses a Porygon in place of Machop, as it ties into his polygonal, Virtua Fighter-inspired sprite.
- Chief uses a Gengar instead of Porygon2 to represent the Silph Scope.
- Omega's and Giovanni 2's levels have been toned down slightly.
- Lance now uses Crocky over Aerodactyl.
- Yujirou's non-initial teams have had their levels reduced to be the same level as the previously-fought Gym Leader, rather than the upcoming one.
- Updated README with additional credits.
Adds the trainers themselves, dialogue still needs to be written but PvK can help with that
Currently they either don't see you or challenge you multiple times...probably issues with where the event constants are located, will sort out once I figure out the problem
It felt weird that Koichi would have Gym Scaling, but Yujirou would not. So, I changed that to be a thing. I pegged his level scaling to Brock's, mainly because Normal-types are absolutely ballbustingly broken in this game and it makes sense from a progression standpoint. In doing that, I realised some variety in scaling (like, -1 +1, occasional 2 type stuff) could be interesting.
I also fixed multiple bugs;
- Gym Trainers correctly reset when you leave; no visible effect except to me debugging.
- Above also fixed Yujirou not having his loss sequence after, well, losing. Reported by shawesome.
- In fact, Yujirou will even display his loss text after losing, something I learned from doing Professor Oak's new Citrine Pass functionality.
- Fixed a bug where attempting to Fly on Celeste Hill caused a huge memory corruption effect. Oops.
- Fixed text issues on Route 1 and Museum 2F
- Tidied up trainer parties a little more
This was an interesting thought exercise.
As you can see, this code adds a scaling function for when you reach the KEP post-game. These teams are very powerful and a strong test of the player's skills.
I did, however, remove the Legendary Pokemon from the first three's teams. They felt a little bit out there and kind of decrease the significance of the player's. Plus, we just went through hell adding conditional Hall of Fame respawns.
The Elite Four use refight text based on their LGPE appearances. It's honestly a little odd, so if it's too much, the FRLG conditional text could be used instead. I like the way Agatha's plays out, though...
Anyway, stupid hacky implementation done, please don't look at how I did the champion's trainer number.
That's a fair chunk out of my day...
This commit finishes everything about Silph Co. 11F. DON'T. TOUCH IT. Unless there's a bug, but OTHERWISE, do NOT touch it. Holy shit.
Here's everything featured;
- Jessie and James fight, ported over.
- Rocket grunt changed to the appointment one from the strange room on the other side that really shouldn't be there tbh
- Omega fight now doesn't have the "watch out" text as I needed to do a micro-optimisation TRUST ME it was NECESSARY (it was not, in fact, necessary)
- Giovanni now reuses Beedrill and has a generally stronger team, scaling with the fifth Rival fight.
- Omega refight has been added after some toiling with the Team Rocket intro text that absolutely should not have happened but did for some reason AAA
- Rocket trio text somewhat tweaked
Oh and I ported over the balance patch on the stats, including some neo-Cryithan onboarding.
Fixes the following bugs:
- Restores the Museum Guy's functionality that was removed when trying to allow Brock skip. Now works fine.
- Attempt to fix Yujirou's Sabrina-like glitch. If this doesn't fix it, look at Sabrina between RB and Y
- Attempt to fix some Misty text.
- Changed Squirtle check to use EVENT_BEAT_SURGE over the ThunderBadge. Same effect, saves a line of code, generally easier.
- Reverts a really old and shoddy DV generation system back to vanilla.
Also, I changed some gym/rival teams to reflect new philosophies from Discord discussion.
- Eevee and Pikachu family's growth rates are changed to Medium Slow. This gives them a much better early-game power spike that tapers off momentarily. They will level up faster until Level 68.
- Yujirou's levels and one pre-gym trainer are slightly nerfed, being easier for players starting out.
- Caterpie and Weedle in Viridian Forest have level deviation, and Pikachu is tapped on the wrist to not make the starter too redundant; change here is pending.
- Debug uses Pikachu and Eevee starters for future starter-based testing.
- 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 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.
A three-stage Bug line that mirrors the Caterpie and Weedle lines, being an old design for Weedle's evolutions. Pudi, Hinaazu and Betobebii have been removed, though.
Mainly targeted at the gyms. Generally increasing Pokemon variety and ensuring they match the types in said gyms. Also restored all the rockets so they stop loading undefined teams.
A party for the Firefighter has been made to add to Cerulean Gym later. Seemed appropriate.
- Decilla replaced with Beedrill. Decilla doesn't make sense, as he uses Ground-types, which Decilla isn't. Beedrill was given as a subtle manga reference.
- Nidorino -> Nidoking as it just doesn't make sense to see one at Silph Co. Could be changed further as his team is, generally, pretty terrible.
With me moving the Trainer AI elsewhere, I was able to optimise the party stuff a little bit. There's a lot more space and from what I can tell it works fine.
There are now three separate files - one for standard trainers, one for the rival & oak, and one for scaled parties (aka gym battles and related). This is mainly for organisational purposes.
If I run out of space again, I'll rework the Trainer AI script to pull parties another way, storing the party files in individual banks.
