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;
LuciShrimp strikes again! A demake of the Legendary Battle theme from FireRed/LeafGreen.
This theme is set to change down the line, possibly taking elements from the Emerald theme Mew uses to differentiate itself more. Mainly committing as the infrastructure has been put in place.
This adds the S.S. Anne healer from FRLG that's notorious for gaslighting newer players who just think she's there.
This also adds an extremely early Mewtwo theme. It's far from finished, just happens to be in this commit as I was testing it in debug - thanks to Luci for working on this!
Updated bug list as well with things my friend Crunter found.
- In the event of a 1/256 miss, the game will now state the Pokemon evaded the attack to signify its occurrence. This is part of an effort to make misses, overall, more transparent.
- Battle Debug now loads some items to assist with testing.
- Misleading Guard Spec message in Celadon has been changed to refer to X Special, which it was actually describing.
- Removed "it can spook the target sometimes" text when getting the TM for Rock Slide, because it's a LIE
In RBY, there are extremely minor situations where zero damage can be dealt. These usually involve quad resists and profound level differences.
To quote the disassembly:
; this only occurs if a move that would do 2 or 3 damage is 0.25x effective against the target
However, Psywave is also capable of this.
Thus, a new case has been added for when this occurs, which is triggered through a new WRAM entry. Easiest way to do it without having to restructure how misses are handled.
This is overall minor, but it'll probably make at least one person laugh, and that's all I need.
In vanilla RBY, Pokemon flash 6 times when taking damage from moves like Tackle or Fury Attack. This is really slow and sells the impact way too much, drawing out battles by a lot. I tried 3 but it looked just slightly too fast, so I went with 4.
Dark Void and friends aren't in and probably won't be, I dunno yet.
I think Kowtow Cleave is really badass so I gave it to Night Slash too.
Scream Tail and Barunda now have Disarming Voice, which also has its own sound, which is basically Sing but a bit different.
Fake Tears was given its own subanimation to account for the fact it's basically a Water Gun used on yourself.
The FIGHT debug function helps a lot with this whole thing, so test with that.
A simple 1-character change that does so much. Usually, the game delays it by 2 frames per pixel, so changing it to 1 doubles the speed. If it remains too slow, I believe it can be removed entirely, but I'm avoiding it in case of bugs.
I also changed the debug Pokemon to Croakozuna as Pound is s/e vs Dark, allowing for an easier visual. Rhydon changed to Rhyperior for the same reason; more damage, better visual.
Instatext seems to have its own thing going on that I have issues sorting, so I'm just removing the frame delay on fast text. It doesn't look like much but it's surprisingly good.
Also, this makes fast text the default option.
