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.
This renovates the Celadon Mansion Roof House to feature a faithful restoration of Shinjuku Jack. Notes are in the script file.
Also, LuciShrimp's Mewtwo theme is finished!
This was definitely quite hard, I see why Martha had trouble...
So I've gone with multiple approaches.
- Worldbuilding for some areas (Celadon U, Pokemon League, etc)
- Establishing some character behind the nebulous Chief, noting him as rather avaricious, cutting costs, and so on. A stereotypical capitalist, true to his "I am rich, so I can give you anything" statement.
- Multiple comedic statements about where each trainer is located, from confusion about why they're there, or that they were swindled. It's quite Japanese, and I think it makes sense.
I didn't make statements for Junior as I was kind of confused...
Also, no 6F entries, as there was no file.
Added dialogue for the two lover NPCs on Brunswick Trail. Yes, they're both very gay. Sue me.
Lover2's dialogue was written by my amazing girlfriend, so all credit to her on that one :3
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
This adds three trainers to Brunswick Trail, as well as the lover NPCs Martha wanted to write dialogue for (with placeholders for now).
Most trainers are merely commenting on the strong and energetic Pokemon, which I think matches the racing theme it has going on. This can be changed if need-be.
I have also removed all the noise on the Fake Tree sprite that got added when I imported the tile. Now, it's far more convincing.
- The Zapdos in Brunswick Glade now vanish correctly, due to fixing a desync in the hide/show data
- Brunswick Glade's palette displays correctly
- Improved Citrine City's theme a little
- Changed palettes for Cryithan's line to reflect their upcoming redesign
- Updated Cryithan's sprite
This adds the intermittent area before Brunswick Grotto, where you'll encounter Galarian Zapdos periodically.
It seems the hide/show constants are desynchronised again, as the copies in the glade won't disappear.
The reason was because not all the infrastructure for an actual battle was set up - this fixes it. It still has some strange text that appears though.
Also did some minor optimisations on the Vermillion Dock stuff - I think the direction I am taking Faraway Island will work. However, something in that script causes any and all special warps to crash in some way. I am not sure what it is that does it.
moved that one sign in viridian that intersected with the pregym in a misleading way that just looked really annoying on the map PLEASE let me have this
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.
This makes it so that once you clear the game, you will be able to get the Silph Letter from your mom, and the Citrine Pass by beating Professor Oak.
You'll now walk to your mother upon leaving your room post-clearing the game, and she'll hand you the letter. This'll basically explain your next quest to you.
The Professor Oak event kind of destroyed my sanity but that's fine. It works. Thanks to Martha for the idea.
Considerations for a full bag are done and they were annoying. I decided to show off and do some comedy to alleviate the lost sanity.
- 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
- Citrine City uses its own music track, being a revamped version of the unused trading music that was thought to be a town theme for several years. Could still use some work though.
- Improved Crocky's sprite a little, giving it the proper dimensions and improving the hairstyle a tiny bit
- Fixed an issue with Sylveon's Level 1 learnet

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.
Another overdue sprite implementation. Had to slightly edit the back sprite as it was a pixel too wide, but the difference is extremely minimal. Also swapped raichu's pose as it was bad. It may need a bit of dusting off, the position may be crusty, etc.
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.
- Toned down a significant amount of "repeats"; times where you repeatedly fight the same Pokemon or an evolution line.
- Integrated beta Pokemon more.
- Also, imported the LGPE retranslation of Bill. In Japanese, he isn't a PokeManiac, but a "Pokemon fanatic".
The Gift Pokemon from vanilla now use the LGPE levels, which are all far more applicable for general use. With the Move Relearner's existence, it is unnecessary to hold back their levels anymore. This most notably means the Silph Co. Lapras is now Level 34, much more appropriate for general use.
- Finishes the Vermilion Beauty event. One silly mistake involving the choice was fixed, and a workaround for wBeautyChoice failing in strange places implemented. Functionally the result I wanted.
- Implemented the Yellow spriteset for Vermilion City with minor adaptations. Fixes that funny issue I found on stream.
- Viridian Pre-Gym was fixed, reworking some events.
- Moltres now functions correctly, seeing you like a normal trainer would.
- Slightly tidied up Brunswick Trail and Celeste Hill Outside's maps
- Celeste Hill Outside and Cave now play Digda01 as a music track
