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 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.
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.
Adding the maps for Silph's Gauntlet, along with Albatross's Galarian Bird sprites. Also fixing Blottle's typing, and temporarily replacing the effects of the recover moves.
If Exeggutor passes L28, it'll be forced to learn Stomp no matter what, making it an illegal set with Powders and thus unfair for the player. To account for this, the Exeggutor set will be a Stomp-based one instead.
Because these Pokemon cannot be captured in the wild, this exclusively buffs the trainers, and by a significant amount too. I left Starmie out to balance out the early-game given how powerful it can be.
Ninetales should be at least L42 in each encounter to account for Fire Spin.
Vileplume and Bellossom should be at least L38, but I think Erika puts Mega Drain over Petal Dance so she should be fine..?
Tsubomitto should be L40+ to account for Lovely Kiss.
Exeggutor should be at least L48+ to account for Sleep Powder.
Cloyster should be at least L23 to account for Clamp. To nerf it, increase its level to 50, where Spike Cannon replaces Explosion.
I have also done a few fixes and stuff;
- Magnezone is part-Steel
- Leafeon gets Swords Dance
- Added Silph Gauntlet Team for the Channeler, assuming L65 is what will be used.
This is so it remains accurate to the Stadium event. While the Japanese events are TMs and will thus break compatibility among other things, that's not really something we *can* implement at this stage. This feels better as a reduction thing.
Adds Blissey, Hitmontop, Steelix, Crobat, Politoed and Slowking. Remnants for Porygon2, Lickilicky, Kingdra and Magnezone can be seen but are currently non functional due to wram space.
Adds the five eeveelutions we don't have, evo items for Glaceon and Sylveon, fixes Rhyperior's dex entry, renamed the Super Rod to Fishing Rod, and commented out the OW Crocky/Kabutops for now
Rhyperior files are dummies and will need to be properly edited with sprites, Rhydon evo data, etc, but it (and the other files included) show that the trainer and pokemon sprite indexes have been separated, which allows us to add the other KEP mons
