- Adds Officer Jenny from Yellow to Vermilion City. Due to spriteset restrictions, Roingus Girl has been removed; the self-insert felt a little weird anyway.
- Fuchsia City's map has been redone a little bit to more closely resemble the LGPE version, being far more walkable and aesthetically appealing.
- A Firefighter has been added to Cerulean Gym!
This adds Damien, the Charmander trainer, with text changed to be more accurate to his character.
I've also moved the Pewter Rod House nearby, as it makes more sense for it to be in the Water-type area. However, it seems to load oddly.
I have also integrated the Pikachu/Eevee Mode more, with architecture that it can make it more easily modified. This'll come into play for the Squirtle event.
I have also erased further misinformation the game gives about burns, and changed the Viridian Pre-Gym accordingly, to talk about confusion, which lacks a Trainer Tips sign.
In the name of making Pikachu/Eevee mode more accurate to Yellow, the starter trio are being made obtainable. However, I am also improving it in some respects to make it more accurate.
In the anime, the Hidden Village is between Cerulean and Vermillion, so Yellow's implementation is inaccurate. It also pushes the Jynx trader out of the house, which is undesirable.
Thus, Melanie has been placed in the Day Care to give more reason to go there, as well as make the Day Care look more like the one from FireRed and LeafGreen. In the name of this, a PC has been added as well, allowing for easier utility around the Day Care itself.
Bulbasaur is currently allergic to hiding for some reason but we'll figure that out later.
This restructures the Fighting Dojo to match the new map, as well as add a few more features and safety mechanisms.
- Koichi, the Karate Master, now plays the Gym Leader theme when fought.
- Hitmontop is now an optional reward.
- Post-Game Rematch is available in addition to the gym scaling to be consistent with other Gym Leaders.
- A safety lock is on the Poke Balls prior to defeating the Karate Master, as the new structure now demands it. Indeed, this is why the reward area in vanilla is like that.
- Architecturally, there is now only one EVENT_GOT_HITMON constant, which is all that was actually needed in the vanilla game. Extreme microoptimisation, as event constants appear to be 16-bit.
- Vermilion Beauty no longer skips text to hand you your Pokemon
- Vermilion City text boxes are fixed
- Cancelling TMs and causing crashes when trying different ones is fixed (thanks to some old code by BlueZangoose, it was a vanilla bug!)
- Minor enhancement to the Candy Jar that seems to make Meltan more stable.
- Fixed a fallthrough error that caused Mewtwo's theme to play for every wild encounter (very cool, but also oops)
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
Imported from Shin Pokered. Required a little bit of refactoring but all in all very straightforward. I changed the WRAM associations to be easier for me to work with should I ever need to.
I am not a 100% fan of the way this works - requiring hold inputs - but I am also not sure how to make it just be something you can easily input...
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.
- Eevee and Pikachu family's growth rates are changed to Medium Slow. This gives them a much better early-game power spike that tapers off momentarily. They will level up faster until Level 68.
- Yujirou's levels and one pre-gym trainer are slightly nerfed, being easier for players starting out.
- Caterpie and Weedle in Viridian Forest have level deviation, and Pikachu is tapped on the wrist to not make the starter too redundant; change here is pending.
- Debug uses Pikachu and Eevee starters for future starter-based testing.
This fixes a bug where Meltans would invade Trainer Battles under the effects of the Mystery Box.
I also did some minor groundwork where the Candy Jar check is a function. I intend to change it so that catching a Pokemon would incur it too. I ended up with glitches when doing that, though.
The "ball miss" message is now modular, with a new message being spat out when not in the Safari Zone. The message talks about it being "too strong" and "breaking the ball", making it far more intense and matching some early anime scenes.
The Candy Jar is now obtainable in the Indigo Plateau, instead of being an item obtained from Chief. I've removed most Chief-related stuff but expect some instability after you beat him, as I don't believe I completely removed the function to call the text.
The Candy Jar will now not collect candies in the following instances;
- It isn't in the bag.
- The total would go over 40.
Just makes sense and ensures players are engaging with the proper intentions. The 40 total is necessary, as over 40 stops the jar from working. This does mean some candies are "lost", but the players see that.
There's a bug where Meltan will have the moves of the Pokemon it's replacing and I don't know why. I've tried a bunch of fixes in `LoadEnemyMonData` but it didn't seem to want to work.
It was a long shot, but I did it! I added the Mystery Box from Pokemon GO! Very happy with the results here.
So here's how it works: When used, the game will replace Pokemon encountered with Meltan until the player leaves the map. This is sort of how it works in GO, with the player unable to close it and naturally petering out as they play.
Now multiple Meltan can be obtained, and in abundance, just like GO. Technically, someone could use this as a pseudo-Repel to replace hard encounters with easy ones.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure this happens vs static encounters as well, but it's awkward to account for I think that's hilarious, so...
I am not sure why the fossils don't show properly at the moment - it isn't related to going past $FF, as the Old Amber shows.
Dome and Wing specifically don't show properly and need fixing down the line.
- 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.
