This tweaks the wild data so Aerodactyl, Omanyte, and Kabuto are in the water. Also diversified the Squirtles and added slots for the Hisui formes to use once they're in.
This adds the Dubious Disc Salesman to Cinnabar Pokemon Centre. I chose this area because it's late in the game and it seemed a bit iffy to constantly have to go with Pokemon Centres not in towns. Cinnabar has some connection to Silph, so it makes more sense than just balancing.
There are probably improvements that could be made (eg. a quote as you buy) but the salesman code is surprisingly brittle so I'd rather not break stuff for hours for something that already works perfectly fine.
Rowan NPC added to Cinnabar Lab, just a little cute thing.
Bill's Garden could see many revisions, what's here is the bare minimum. Here's what's done:
- Nidorino NPC blocks it off and is unlocked in the post-game. This currently contradicts the myth - I have a plan for this soon.
- Wild Pokemon are the "non-reproducibles" given in Stadium; starters and eevee are mandatory given those were common in the myth
- Hisui forms should be added when possible
- I had to remake Martha's map in the forest tileset so leaving would be possible
- Everything is at a point where it functions
This implements much of the stuff Martha wants for the regional forms.
- Alola forms have trades; version exclusives moved to Pewter
- Galar forms will be on the S.S. Anne to promote returning
- Regional form evos will be on the S.S. Anne possibly? Maybe something else.
Also contains a similar-to-LGPE trade quote. Extremely compressed quotes.
- Replaces the Old Rod with the Candy Sack, an item to evolve Meltan into Melmetal. Meltan and Melmetal aren't in yet.
- Improves Gym Leader and Elite Four AI by a lot. They still use items, they're just better. Fixes XSpecial use while we're at it; before, it didn't actually increase the stat...
- The Scarlet Book now takes up both shelves, one section for each Paradox Pokemon. I also moved the bookshelf so it looks nicer.
- Text in Celadon University has been reduced significantly, taking up less memory and being a bit more RBY-like. It has also been made more accurate (thanks to Daiginjo for translating my booklet!)
- The Magikarp researcher in Celadon University now gives TM Dragon Rage (no longer unused!)
- Added a guard for Mt. Moon Crater.
- Removed TrainerNamePointers, Blank Leader Name Code, and Dakutens/Hakutens using a guide published by YakiNeen.
- PP no longer uses a shitty graphic and is instead properly implemented into the font, optimising the status screen. Also displays in-battle which is kinda cool.
- Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha now play the Gym Leader theme, not just Lance.
Still unsure how to fix Celadon University's trainers, all I know is a lot of the information should be taken from the Oak fight I did. The code is radically different and doesn't call trainer headers at all. You'll likely want to start from scratch.
The Mt. Moon Crater Guard's text is a little wonky, not sure what's up there. May have been from the way I accessed Mt. Moon in testing. Anyway, if you want to mess around feel free.
All of the Ubers have sprites now (goodbye Lion Pory2!), fixed a small bug I made on Route 19 when resizing Cinnabar, and some minor text updates/fixes.
Adds fossils, Black Augurite, and a few other neat items to Mt. Moon Crater, given it's where the "ancient" Paradox Pokemon are. Seemed cool to me. Also does a few misc things
I gave the readme a facelift to show what's what, and also added notes on the new evolution conditions.
Some notes on evo condition changes;
- Set Sirfetch'd to be a Heart Stone evolution, seems fitting.
- Reverted Pikachu back to stone -> trade, as this is the most consistent with what people will rationally do. People **will** try to trade for Gorochu according to the mythos behind the whole thing, there's really not much wiggle-room.
- Swapped the Vileplume and Bellossom to match SW97 and base Vileplume, it's just confusing to veterans otherwise.
Things to consider:
- Making the Porygons consistent, right now they just aren't. Either add the Up-Grade or make Porygon2 trade as well.
- Adding the Politoed evolution to Poliwag as well to match early material that implied such.
This adds gym scaling for every leader, plus Koichi of the Fighting Dojo.
Me and Ema decided to give Koichi scaling, as he is a gym leader in everything but class. I will likely give Yujirou the same treatment once he's all set up.
The parties have not been set up, assuming Martha is working on them.
An important note: space is somewhat limited on trainers now, so the leaders will need implementing incrementally. You will most likely have to remove unnecessary trainers to make this work.
This code has been tested on 8 Badges and loads the rematch team, which implies it works correctly. It needs to be tested with progression and the like, though.
I've also renamed the "Pocket Lapras" a la the "Miraidon's Poke Ball" concept from SV, which can be used later.
Essentially, I bruteforced making it work; made the tiles we desire be warps for us instead. You do this by noting the bottom-left tile of the block for some reason, so tile $30 of forest will be a warp tile even though it really looks like it shouldn't be. As far as I can tell, there are no consequences for this war crime code as long as you don't put a warp where it shouldn't be.
This was surprisingly easy to add, albeit a bit awkward. I learned how to add trainer battles without headers this way, so I may go back to CeladonU and restructure with this in mind.
This commit adds a fully functioning Professor Oak fight, using the Rival party choice script as a launchpad. You can desynchronise the choices easily, just a few number changes. I used the S. S. Anne 2F and Route 22 scripts to hodgepodge it together.
Because of how I did this, Oak is fully re-fightable, taking inspiration from XY Serena's daily re-fights.
I tried to add a Yes/No prompt, but it would still pull you into the fight, presumably because it's calling a beforebattle script before the code. It's a bit of a hassle and my CeladonU code sucked, so I decided to leave it out for now.
It's intended to be unlocked once you enter the Hall of Fame, thus that change there. That hasn't been tested properly so uhhhh *shrug*
This reduces the amount of Para present in the early-game; my playtest had me feel that there were a few too many.
So what I did here was;
- Replace an encounter entry with Pidgey, which was seen in Yellow. Additionally, I replaced the Butterfree with the popular L9 Pidgeotto, which to me makes a lot more sense. You should grind for Butterfree.
- The end trainer uses a Venonat, a Pokemon I think we could feature more early-game (like in Yellow again)
Additionally, I also tweaked Route 24-25 to have the early Venonat like Yellow does. This ensures the Yellow learnset changes come into play. I also added Pidgeotto back here over the Butterfree, I still don't think it should be available this immediately...
This is a pretty hefty commit, so let's break it down.
- Fixes Pokedex entries for Bittybat, Bulbasaur, and Shellder.
- ...presumably fixes the options menu.
- Adds a Fishing Group and water wild data to Diglett's Cave, also reduces the encounter rate. More to come.
- Modifies parties, including evolving Rival 2's starter.
- Attempts to fix the Ultra and Safari Balls by making `BallFactor` 4, which appears to be the intended number. Tests yielded positive results.
- Restores a ton of Japanese references that got removed in localisation, including some errors.
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.
This restores much of the 1996 Tajiri lore to the Kanto Pokedex. Sourced from Dr. Lava's translations.
You can see this as a more mature, uncensored Pokedex. It contains more biological details and relates the Pokemon to real-world animals. I believe this can enhance the "dreamy" feel of the region to some degree, but could be off-putting to newer fans.
Some Pokemon did not need new dex entries due to either sharing the information with the book, or being Mew.
Scream Tail's dex entry was also reworked due to overflowing.
Some grammar enhancements were also made.
