This uses some of the tech I made for the Day Care, since the House tileset had PCs in them. The Rest Houses now have slightly revamped maps to accommodate. Did you know these were unused?
internally kind of sloppy, filenames refer to Pink as a few different things and none of them are by their final name lol
Haven't managed to get this to build the debug rom? Probably not a big deal, though you have to specifically run "make kep" instead of just "make"
- Fixed up the Fishing Rod encounters.
- Finished the Pocket Lapras
- Farfetch'd on Route 13 and 15
- L50 Chansey on Victory Road 3F for Repel trick grinding
- Changed Surge's text to be way, way more accurate to the differences between American and Japanese relations at the time. See file for more details.
- Fixed the build error with the new Galarian Bird track
Pushing everything I've done, currently doesn't build because the Galarian Birds filesize is too thicc for the section but I need to push this before I go mad
- An interesting thing I decided to implement here; every time the title screen gets loaded, it loads a random choice between Red and Green, as well as Scream Tail and Sandy Shocks. This effectively gives 4 different starting title screens.
- Made the EXPN. PAK text on the title screen more centered.
- Green now appears on the diploma instead of Red if you're playing as her.
- Fixes a few bugs from the last commit, namely:
- The guy who gives you the Pocket Lapras having bugged text
- Being able to use it where you shouldn't (Cycling Road, Seafoam before the boulder puzzle)
- Pocket Lapras not having an item description
- As well as this, automatic item sorting has been added. Just press Start in the bag menu and all your items will get assorted into a convenient list.
- Changed a few item descriptions since some of them didn't terminate properly
- Freed up some space in the Home bank
This is still a bit glitchy:
- For some reason, unrelated text pops up after something is printed. I don't know why.
- Pocket Lapras needs to close the menu post-use. Probably very easy, something in engine\items\item_effects.
- The Pocket Lapras needs to default to Lapras as the text. This is a bit difficult as the item effect is actually used by Surf itself, so you may need to add a function that the Pocket Lapras loads before jumping to the real function (basically just loading the LAPRAS species ID for the text, ask me if you need help)
- Cycling Road needs to run the routine to force you onto the bike after using the Pocket Lapras, or simply have it check for if you're on a ForceBikeSurf map and yell at you. Both work.
I don't have time to finish this right now but it's at least obtainable.
Also used in PureRGB. Gives the player the option to use another Repel after the last one runs out.
I had to remove some debug features in order to fit it in, but it won't have an effect on the regular game. Hopefully.
Uploading some of the 1.3 stuff to begin with, mainly the changes that are fully finished so far.
- After earning all 8 badges, the trainers in Celadon University get a decent level increase, allowing for a much better grinding spot between Victory Road and the Pokemon League.
- A handful of changes to move animations, credit to wrulfy for implementing some of these in their Carmine Red hack:
- Struggle has the user bouncing up and down similarly to Splash, rather than shaking back and forth.
- Slam has the user move forward while attacking.
- Mega Kick has the user move back, then lunging forward while attacking.
- Jump Kick has the user move forward while attacking, as well as a sound effect change.
- Horn Drill uses a unique animation of a rotating star effect, as well as darkening the screen.
- Both confusion-inflicting status moves show birds circling the enemy.
- Hyper Beam is slightly slower, and shakes the screen after the hit.
- Drill Peck uses the same circling star animation as Horn Drill.
- Solar Beam has a 'gathering energy' effect while lighting up the screen.
- SmokeScreen is a lot faster.
- Skull Bash shakes the screen and moves the user horizontally while attacking.
- Hi Jump Kick made slightly faster.
- Dazzling Gleam lights up the screen and has been made slightly longer.
- Acid Armor has been given a proper animatio, and no longer makes the user invisible.
- It's now possible to Escape Rope out of the SS Anne and Silph Gauntlet 3F.
- Changes made to a handful of Victory Road and Silph Gauntlet trainer parties.
- Slight level buffs to the Elite 4 initial matches, and significant buffs to their rematches.
- Silph Gauntlet Gym rematches have been increased by a few levels, and Chief has been similarly buffed.
- Slight encounter tweaks to Route 23
- Level buffs to Victory Road's wild encounters
- Minor text fixes

Short for: Martha Missed More Motherfuckin’ Tradeback Moves Again!
Anyway, Dragonite can Fly now.
No, it didn’t get that naturally in Gen 1.
Yes, you’re right in that it makes no sense.
Yes, I do think I’m going a bit crazy, in fact.
It still gets to keep Psychic, but it's a tradeback move rather than by TM. Mainly citing balance reasons and also to keep the Eevees more consistent with regards to TM learnsets.
(kinda just clearing my commits list while I'm working on 1.3 still.)
- Lance's Room is no longer listed as a dungeon map
- Changed the layout of Cinnabar Volcano YET AGAIN, making it a little more visually appealing. If you get softlocked here, I will just sigh disapprovingly.
- Various moveset fixes:
- Arcanine-H gets EQ and Fissure now
- Raichu-A loses Counter
- Raticate-A gets TBolt and Thunder
- Swapped Bullet Punch and Iron Head around in Scizor's learnset
- Umbreon gets Psychic
- WigWug both now get Ice Beam and Blizzard
- Seel and Dewgong get Water Gun by level up
- Swapped inconsistent moveset levels for Omanyte and Omastar
- Eevee gets Quick Attack earlier
- Fixed a typo in Slowbro-G's dex entry
- Changed the Tauros Combat Breed trader's text to remove a moveset inaccuracy
- Changed Misty's AI to now use X Specials instead of Potions
- Gave Chief's teams a slightly updated moveset
- Fixed an issue where Steel just...didn't resist Rock? How did I miss this?????
- Made Sandshrew more common in Mt Moon B2F
- Changed the Marowaks on Silph Gauntlet 4F to Guardias
- Fixed issues where receiving a Gym badge wouldn't play the correct sound in most situations
- Increased the level of the Salesman's Cubone gift from 17 to 23
- Decreased the levels of the Fossil gifts from 44 to 35
- More text fixes
-
This commit fixes the following bugs:
- Viewing the Town Map in Viridian Pre-Gym would show the player as being in Cerulean.
- Psychic, Psywave, Night Shade and Dazzling Gleam wouldn't shake the full screen
- Okay, NOW it's impossible to trap yourself in Cinnabar Volcano.
- Getting the Vermilion Beauty gift would lock you out from getting the Silph Co Lapras gift later.
- Text fixes
This commit fixes the following bugs:
- A guy in Celadon University was stuck in a tree due to being placed on the wrong tile.
- It was possible to walk out of bounds in Mt. Moon Crater due to buggy collision near the bottom of the map
- Hi Jump Kick had a slightly glitched animation
- It was possible to walk into a specific rock in both Cerulean Cave and Garnet Cavern. This was a vanilla bug too, but I'm fixing it proper now.
- There was no signpost outside Bill's Lighthouse where there should've been.
- Fixed two errors in the README
- The Fissure TM was not purchasable at the Citrine Rocket house
- Even if you had picked one of the original starters, you could still get the Charmander and Squirtle gifts as the NPCs would show up regardless.
- Trying to get the Squirtle gift with a full party and box would lock you out from getting it
- Fixed a text issue in Celadon Uni where the professor states the wrong TM
- Fixed two text issues in Silph Co
Took them down a bit from Level 70 to 65, and mostly increased their learnset levels, so going to Citrine first to catch them shouldn't make Silph Gauntlet WAY easier. In order to stay consistent with the number of moves they were each given, I've added Psychic to Garticuno's level up learnset.
- 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.

- 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)
