- 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.
- Fixed a bug where the Elite 4 wouldn't use Full Restores. Apparently the game only allows one item per trainer.
- Gave Oak and Chief custom AI found from proto assets (then changed to be less ass)
- Small amount of balancing
- Minor text fixes
- Figured out roughly how the current high-level AI works (Stat boosting moves are only used sometimes on the first turn, Recover is only used sometimes when below half health, otherwise just attack with a move that isn't ineffective. More testing needed for stat lowering moves and things like Barrier)
This fixes some of the issues with the current AI system to make them better. In short:
- Most Trainers should correctly recognise when a move is not very effective, and not use it. If they have a supereffective move and a regular-effective move, they will slightly prioritise the supereffective one, but not always use it like in regular RBY. This prevents the Lorelei softlock, for example.
- Trainers won't attempt to set status effects on Pokemon that already have one, won't try recovering at full health, and won't attempt to set up multiple Reflects or Light Screen
- Certain high-level trainers will recognise when a Pokemon does not have a status, and will try to inflict one if so. This makes Agatha's, Erika's and Koga's team types much more effective.
- Youngsters and Cue Balls no longer pick moves randomly and will actually give it some thought
- Brock and the Engineers now recognize type effectiveness, Students do not given how early they're encountered.
- General improvements to move choices for all Gym Leaders, E4 and Shinjuku Jacky.
We're almost done.
Just a bit more to go! Added improved animations for the following moves, mostly taken from Vortiene's PureRGB hack:
- Struggle (user now shakes before attacking)
- Fire Punch (added sound effects)
- Ice Punch (added sound effects)
- ThunderPunch (added sound effects)
- Swords Dance (increased duration by adding an unused subanimation)
- Fairy Wind (changed sound effect)
- Jump Kick (much more detailed, user's sprite dips down before attacking, and the hit is carried upwards)
- Rolling Kick (user now shakes before attacking)
- Thrash (user now shakes before attacking)
- Iron Head (changed sound effect)
- Poison Sting (added new graphic that looks like a needle being fired at the opponent)
- Twineedle (added new graphic that looks like a pair of stingers being fired at the opponent)
- Pin Missile (added new graphic that looks like a needle being fired at the opponent)
- Hydro Pump (the first half of the attack now looks more like a blast of water instead of two rising colums of water)
- Ice Beam (screen briefly brightens when used, added sound effects)
- Blizzard (added sound effects)
- Aurora Beam (screen briefly brightens when used)
- Submission (much more detailed animation that shows the user falling back to the ground after the attack)
- Draining Kiss (added Lovely Kiss' animation to the first half of the attack so it wasn't a clone of Absorb)
- Growth (increased duration by adding more subanimations)
- PoisonPowder (the palettes temporarily darken slightly when used)
- Stun Spore (the screen temporarily lights up slightly when used)
- Sleep Powder (the screen temporarily lights up slightly when used)
- Dragon Rage (increased duration by adding more subanimations)
- Rock Throw (changed sound effect slightly)
- Agility (user now shakes when used)
- Night Shade (the screen inverts colours temporarily when used)
- Recover (changed sound effect slightly)
- Focus Energy (reused its unused animation)
- Egg Bomb and Magnet Bomb (sound effect changed)
- Spike Cannon (added new graphic that looks like a needle being fired at the opponent)
- Amnesia and Nasty Plot (completely new animation that doesn't reuse the confused animation)
- Kinesis (completely new animation, looks more like a psychic move now)
- Hi Jump Kick (much more detailed, user's sprite jumps up before attacking, then lands afterwards)
- Dream Eater (changed sound effect, now has HP drain animation
- Sky Attack (changed sound effect and subanimation)
- Dazzling Gleam (the screen now turns wavy like Psychic after the initial flash)
- Hyper Fang (the screen flashes for a moment when the attack lands)
- Tri Attack (added the fire, ice and electric elements present in later animations, but note that the move still has no secondary effect)
- Fake Tears (completely new animation that involves the user literally shaking and crying)
Please stop asking me about the sprite limit i beg u
Ok so this commit does the following;
- Oak's Lab now uses the Fossil Lab tileset, featuring lots of new contraptions etc to make up for the old removed aides.
- Places the Pikachu and Eevee starters in a new place, which results in a slightly blocky mess, but does the job.
- Fossil Lab tileset graphic has many new things. Lots of bad tiles in the blockset in case we want to use this more.
- Changes the rival's pathing so he, y'know, works on the new map...
- Re-adds the Oak email thing, but I had to do like 4 stupid workarounds because it was broken for unknown reasons. Just made it a generic bg event with no issues.
- Removed the old oak email event; no visible difference.
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.
This functionally turns the Silph Gauntlet into a battle tower of sorts.
I did notice some weirdness post-event-reset so definitely do some tests. It should be fine, though.
- Fixes a bug where the player's house would have the wrong palette after returning there after beating the Champion
- Gave Jabetta's line the dark purple/peach palette since I just thought it looked better
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!
Theoretically, this should get rid of the dumb glitch where Mew turns purple after Transforming? I did a bit of testing and seemed fine but if this causes issues for some reason then I'll remove it
- Added another counter to the Game Corner prize room, adding Abra, Clefairy and Dratini back as prizes.
- Fixed Thorn Avery's and Zeta Null's names in the credits
- Small map changes to postgame areas
- Polished the new dex entries again
- Mewtwo no longer gets Waterfall and Roar from tradebacks
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't surf in the water on the Ferry tileset
- Gave Giovanni's room the same palette as Rocket HQ
- Minor text fixes
- Fixed an issue where LAST_MAP wouldn't update when sailing to Citrine
- Adds Powder Snow; GSC stats, was cut from RBY.
- Articuno, Jynx, Buu, Glaceon, Alolan Sandslash, and Alolan Ninetales get Powder Snow at L1.
- Glaceon also gets Powder Snow over Aurora Beam at L1; a nerf that makes it more accurate to its PLA learnset. Glaceon doesn't normally get this move.
- Moltres now gets Flamethrower at L51, fixing an error that GSC fixed. Leer is off by exactly 10 spaces. Leer has been made an L1 move, making it consistent with Articuno's Powder Snow. Does not affect legality, given the Tradeback Tutor.
- Because I'm pedantic, Zapdos gets Thunderbolt as an L1 move like Articuno's Ice Beam, so they all stay the same. Does not affect legality.
- 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
Misty's worst nightmare.
FIGHTING type
55 Power
15 PP
80 Accuracy
Effect: Flinch (30% chance)
Learned by Hitmonchan, Machop, and Mankey at L1. Primeape, Machoke, and Machamp have it in their L1 learnsets as well.
Learned by Carapthor at L10 as an evolution move. Also part of its L1 learnset.
- Moved one of the trainers in the Celadon Uni PokeCenter to stop him from being in the way of the nurse
- Buffed one of the Scientists in the Mansion
- Moved the nurse and Weezing trader on the SS Anne slightly
- Boosted Meltan's catch rate because having it be that low is ridiculous
- Increased Luxwan's height because real swans are not that small
- Changed a Cue Ball's party to allow his dialogue to make sense
- Wild level balancing around Vermilion City
- Fixed a small Pokedex display bug
- Text fixes
Here's one for all the people that wanted another wacky interaction with the shady salesman!
He stands outside the Safari Zone selling his own Safari Balls. They act the same way, they're called the same thing, but they're looking a little off...hey, is that paint peeling off?
Anyway, this acts as a way to get Safari Balls outside of the Safari Zone, like in SwSh! Whether or not you wanna pretend that they're real, it's still neat that he's selling them to you for a good price.
- Tiles now animate correctly while still being sped up (credit to jojobear13!)
- Fixed issues with certain cave maps being glitched after importing the new tileset for Seafoam
- Gave Celeste Hill Cave the same palette as the exterior areas
- Fixed an inconsistency in Koga's pre-fight script
in the middle of a breakdown here but i'm committing this because I don't wanna have an overwhelming number of changed files like the Big One
- Fixed a bug where an item couldn't be picked up in Mt. Moon Crater
- Gave new cries to Leafeon, Glaceon, Perrserker, Gentlarva, Carapthor, Gorotora, Magnezone, Tangrowth, Tricules, Magmortar and Meltan. Pupal and Lickilicky also got new cries but they'll probably be changed later
- Changed Citrine's map slightly for hopefully the final time, removing the tall grass to allow the Old Man Glitch to work there
- Brought Pokemon Tower 5F back for some reason
- Moved the Rocket Grunt on Silph 11F closer to the Omegadge door
- 'Fixed' a warp issue on Faraway Island, can definitely be improved though
- Gave Gapdos 10 more base special because i forgot the first time
- Fixed a typo in Hitmontop's dex entry
- Fixed some inconsistencies in Gao and Gorotora's movesets
- Added the unused ice tiles to Seafoam Islands and Garnet Cavern (credit to Vortiene)
- Added a stats page to the Pokedex that displays base stats and the type of caught Pokemon (again, credit to Vortiene)
- Made Sandshrew more common in Mt. Moon
- Improved the 'already caught' icon
- uncapitalised all new instances of "trainer" in the text to make it more consistent
- HOPEFULLY fixed the issue where the SS Anne still couldn't be reboarded
(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
~ MM
- New Celeste Hill Gate location so the entrance into the location makes more sense. Also took the opportunity to include more lore. This replaces Pokemon Tower 4F.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Cat icon to not animate correctly.
- Made the infinite Nugget glitch work properly because I was stupid and didn't test it.
- Luxwan now uses the Small Bird icon to fit with the rest of the line.
- Nidoreign has a new Pokedex entry and classification, centred on the Nido's origins in the Moon Rabbit of Asian mythology.
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.
This re-frames the intro to have Red and Green be framed in a gender neutral manner. The main aim here is to be a bit more appealing to the NB types, be more consistent with the modern game's approach to gender, and allow people to feel comfier with Red's androgynous appearance.
Oh, and there's a confirmation option to utilise this more effectively, along with some cool transitions. Very happy with this commit.
This changes the animations for various vanilla moves with the aim of reducing photosensitive reactions. KEP is going to chiefly be played on emulators, and thus players will experience flashing that is meant to be dimmed by a Game Boy screen. This is dangerous, so here we are.
Many moves have been given black screens which 1) Look cool as fuck, Thunderbolt and Blizzard are really nice and 2) bypass flashing. Others have had their flashing reduced or outright removed.
Blizzard has been given special treatment, having the second part of its animation given an Ice Rise clip like Ice Beam. This, coupled with the darkness, looks ace.
Changed moves include:
Body Slam, Glare, Dazzling Gleam (oops), Disable, Blizzard, BubbleBeam, Confusion, Dream Eater, Explosion, Guillotine, Hyper Beam, Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Psychic, Reflect, Rock Slide, Selfdestruct, Spore, and Thunderbolt;
Short tests showed positive results. Revert if it fucks up anything.
PureRGB enhances Gen 1 AI in various ways, fixing notorious glitches and making it not do completely stupid things. I would use shin pokered's, but it may be too difficult for unfamiliar players, and has a bunch of outdated markers I'd have to spruce up.
Relevant changes:
- Burn effect calls have been replaced with Fire Blast's effect, replicating the burn spread use-case of Fire Blast
- Teleport references removed because pureRGB uses a unique version
- Any straggler references to effects not used in pureRGB
- Mist properly referred to as we only have one move that provides stat drop immunity.
Updated the sprite gallery too!!
I forgot to put a `ret` at the end of `ShowThis`, causing the sequence to break. It also fixes a bug that would trap you in your house if you cleared the game at all - LAST_MAP is set to the player's room due to how we changed the starting position.
The post-game Legendary respawns are NOT fixed with this, for reasons I don't yet know. It's most likely the faulty dex as a whole.
The post-game setup itself now works, though - Route 1 Oak appears, Crater Guard disappears, Bill's Garden becomes accessible, etc.
Cerulean Cave is made accessible through the post-game setup until the gauntlet is officially done.
- Most, if not all, Silph Co. warps have been fixed. Inappropriate ones have been removed.
- The Metal Coat can now be found where one corrupted Silph Co. warp was to fill dead space, and another is in the Power Plant, replacing Carbos.
- Bill now trades you Hisuian Arcanine after being saved.
- Bill's Grandfather now trades you Hisuian Electrode. Had to remove Crinkles, but Tangela is literally right next to Cinnabar, c'mon lol
- Toedscool can now be found behind Pallet Town, replacing Gloom and Weepinbell, making it more focused.
- Now you can't run from Omega! May expand this to more Pokemon depending on feedback and whether it's ok on processing. Main concern is making the run button too laggy - it raised some eyebrows.
* Moves the Mystery Box activation into Event Constants. This means that now, the Mystery Box activation is handled in the save, preventing some jank from happening when resetting.
* The "don't switch off the box yet" variable is now always unset after entering a map. Meltan itself allows the variable to keep being re-set, which is super handy. Now, whenever you enter and exit maps, it'll work properly.
* Flying, using an Escape Rope, and using Dig, all now unset the Mystery Box. If for some reason everything fucks up, this'll fix it.
* Fixed a text bug with the scientist in Celadon University.
* Fixed a menu alignment issue with the Vermilion Beauty.
* Attempted to fix the Battle Tent exit. Failed. This is a really, really bad bug, hopefully this gets sorted sometime.
This fixes an issue that caused regular Poke Balls to fail. Repositioned the Master Ball to fit with its processing.
This...may fix ViWalls's issue? For some reason, Poke Balls are glitching for him. This fixes *a* glitch, anyway.
suloku dropped a really good guide on implementing modern Exp. All into RBY, making the item actually useful.
This basically fixes all the issues, but does expose one thing: Gaining Exp takes...a long time. So when you have one Pokemon KO another and have 5 others in waiting, the load time before leaving the battle will take about 3 seconds. This is definitely disorientating, but is still much, much, much faster than the original.
This finishes Chief's event, with all the necessary components for the post-game Mewtwo fight sorted as well. I added an event the Master Ball sets for modular monologue text, for improved immersion.
I have also fixed some bugs;
- Fixed the oft-reported walking in trees bug in the Forest tileset.
- Fixed the Oak's lab computer issue by just...removing the computer. I made the map symmetrical instead, feels a lot better to look at, at least for me. I think it was meant to have an event on it or something, but I couldn't find anything, felt like I was being gaslit.
- Hopefully fixed the issue with the border blocks going weird after saving and resetting, by making the tileset directly point to the gym one, which Oak is meant to use. I am not sure how that glitch happened for ViWalls.
- Fixed the Viridian Pre-Gym text scrolling issue.
I still cannot replicate the crash bugs that some people have been experiencing and don't see anything that could be causing it.
I also changed Trampel in Victory Road to Steelix, as mentioned by Gogocrafter.
