- Gave nicknames to the Galar Evolution trades, they're a bit different to regional variants n such
- The Throw Rock command now only increases flee chance by 50%. It seems like it may be a little TOO strong though, bit curious.
- Changed a bit of text here and there
- Made CHIKUCHIKU trade accessible, still need MICHELLE
Still need to find out what I want to do with Body Slam, Swords Dance, and Thunder Wave. Slam/SD are on the Sevii Islands, and TWave is on an existing NPC who usually gives Self-Destruct.
Could possibly refactor the item receiving text.
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.
So it turns out that the code used in Factory Adventure *or* the TPP Anniversary Repository, by all accounts, should not actually work. Like, no, really, it ends up loading 0xFF as code, thus why it would always rst38. It just...doesn't...do anything. My friend Enigami, who figured out the issue, described the function as being "half-finished".
We came up with a solution that results in less functionality - now it needs a free box - but it results in less load times, so maybe it's just better this way. I doubt many people will catch that many Pokemon unless they were shooting for a living dex, which is unfeasible in its current state anyway.
I considered putting Bottle Caps in here, but it felt like making the game too grindy, so I changed it to just be in the Battle Tent shop with a very high price.
Some Celadon University trainers were in slightly inconvenient locations, making a straight line to the door clunky.
Also, generally made the readme more useful.
This adds the boy/girl selection from later generations, using the pret tutorial and a spriteset from Pokemon Anniversary Red. I made some alterations, namely inserting the option later into the speech to be less clunky, and having the Nidorino become a Nidorina if you pick the feminine option.
I decided to make the third name option Seren, a common Welsh name for girls. It means "star", which is really cute! But...most people will probably say it's a Panel de Pon reference, which is cool too.
There are ways this can be improved (SFX, menu message, insta-recalc stats), but this finishes the Hyper Training functionality.
Talk to James, give him a Bottle Cap, he boosts your DVs to max, and then he deducts a Bottle Cap.
Notable that vanilla vitamins don't recalc stats immediately as well, so maybe the recalc bit isn't necessary.
I am tired of doing the Legendary wing event, so I'm populating Citrine City.
Some notes;
- I refactored the In-Game Trades to match their nicknames and re-distributed them.
- I swapped Fuschia's bench guy for the third unused one meant for the safe house, but I may outright restore these.
- I refactored the Pokecenter Hidden Objects to all use the same set - they're clones of each other, so this works out. This saves a TON of bytes and works fine.
- I placed the Harry trade for Kadabra/Alakazam in Citrine Pokecenter as it feels right for such a powerful Pokemon to be post-game.
Now has new music (the Mt. Moon Square theme from GSC, which was originally planned as a victory theme in Gen 1), as well as functioning wild encounters and items.
This adds Pikachu, Cat, and "Small Bird" menu icons. The cat has a custom animation done by myself.
The Jigglypuff in the Pokemon Centre now uses the new sprite, nice 'n' pretty. Officer Jenny is also in Cerulean. The Pokemon from Melanie's house in Yellow have been put in Mr. Fuji's House, given the purpose of the house in RB is different. I think it ends up fitting very nicely.
Chansey has been given its proper sprite in Fuschia. Yellow didn't actually do this, as Chansey doesn't have a walk cycle, causing the stuff that exists to go unused. I wanted it, though, so I had Chansey just not walk and turn around. Oh, and it's in all the Pokemon Centres now. Yeah, that's a...lot of changed files.
Fixes a few small text issues, updates the readme, and rebalances the fishing rod Pokemon. Also shifted Blottle to earlier in the Pokedex, cause I felt like it.
This map is pretty much finished, save for the map sprites for Jessie, James, and the unused Cat (aka Meowth) being imported, as well as an & symbol. This adds everything else - the marts, the Rocket Trio fight, the meeting music, the tileset, the trainer class for Jessie/James, I could go on. A ton of work well-done.
Lots of things here. Citrine now has its own tileset featuring content from the prototype asset leak. This includes new grass, signs, and so on. Lots of tinkering had to be done to make it look good, but it does! Collision and everything is done, but grass needs to animate properly. I'm committing as-is because making the grass animate is actually very difficult.
Also added the Metal Coat and fixed the issues with prior evolution methods - evo items first, level-up second. It is currently unobtainable.
Alright, never put items after the floors. This is very, very bad, as it actually causes a myriad of problems whenever the game tries to assert the item list on its lonesome. Effectively, this has been adding floors. This caused the item descriptions to be offset by 21 spaces once you get to the TMs. The fact it worked before was a miracle.
Anyway, all considerations have been made when doing this, so it should all be just fine.
If you need to test if the items are ok, check the Up-Grade on Porygon, as it's the last in the list. Checks showed it was ok for me.
Also, Old Sea Chart now uses the localised name - Old Sea Map. This actually fits in-game, which is good.
This comments out the script that makes the Name Rater check the trainer OT before giving his "rating". Therefore, traded Pokemon, including regional ones, can now be nicknamed.
- Move Deleter and Move Relearner are added, featuring updated code from Shin Pokered, which took the code from Mateo's Red++ hack. They replace the Trader in Celadon University. The code has been updated quite a bit to fit the modern standards of pokered.
- The Trader has been moved to the trade room in Cinnabar Lab, which is thematically appropriate.
- Eevee's L1 learnset now appropriately features Tail Whip; this was a mistake made by Martha when porting Yellow learnsets.
- Fast Text cursor slot is fixed
- New ROM Bank stores the new maps as it got full when adding the move relearner/deleter - Maps 21 will still have space though.
- WRAM has been fiddled with, please please read the notes if you edit the Move Relearner area, it needs quite a bit of space.
- Wild data for Mt. Moon and Route 22 has been tweaked a little bit.
Seems to interact oddly with Saffron but I believe this is because of the way Team Rocket works. The event itself works fine.
Also added the Up-Grade, as before, Porygon was evolving via Trade.
Uses text referencing LGPE, and has a similar location.
Because of the sprite limit in Saffron, the Pidgeot NPC has been removed.
Thanks to Frrf for helping me fix the broken code I initially sent in. This commit refines the mode so that the Oak Lab cutscene is finished and the party picking process is all concrete.
Also, given Surge is a fight, the S.S. Anne Pikachu rival can have Raichu, surely...
Also, the UnusedNames files were, in fact, needed...otherwise, the item names get all corrupted. Probably left some code behind.
So we officially have a new funky mode!
Because Celadon University has the Dragon Rage TM now, Take Down can be back in the mart. It's more applicable and doesn't give you too big of an early-game power spike.
- 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.
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.
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.
