Month: December 2024

Bugfixes

• Mt. Boulder’s B1F static encounter NPC was hidden by mistake when TM14 was added. This prevented Pokédex completion in version 6.1.1.
• The other player’s selected Pokémon at the trading selection screen was incorrectly displayerd.
• The Pokéball icon when changing boxes wasn’t loaded from the start menu.
• Azalea’s Gym still had some leftover hidden objects that could be accessed after getting the gift Pokémon.
• Event at the final cave was being reset everytime the player beat the Rijon League.
• A King’s Rock could be used on Politoed to evolve it into Politoed (old Brown leftover).
• False Swipe Move tutor NPC has been moved to “fix” a collision issue in Azalea Town.
• When beating the Elite 4, the blackout/teleport/dig/escape rope map was incorrectly set (normally it should be set to Seashore City). Blacking out or using teleport/dig/escape rope would end up on a glitched map.
• There was an specific frame window for a Rocket in Final Island that could trigger a corrupted battle.

Move Changes

• G.Weezing now learns Body Slam by TM.
• Bulbasaur now learns Growth at level 29 instead of Growl.
• Noivern at E4 knew Moonblast instead of Moonlight (Noivern can’t learn Moonblast).

New Features

• Before releasing a Pokémon from the PC, a menu displays allowing to view the Pokémon’s stats, just like the withdrawn and deposit menus. This helps identifying Nicknamed or Shiny Pokémon before releasing.
• Pokéballs can’t be used when the enemy Pokémon is Flying/Digging.

Graphics/Maps

• Pokéball icons gfx for battle HUD, Pokédex and box swapping updated.
• Silk Tunnel 1F had some wrong wall tiles near the hole that would connect to International Tunnel in Prism.
• Tileset 0x0C (12) has been internally freed for future use if needed.
• Minor changes to gate maps (i.e. added stools for the guards).
• Johto gates graphics updated to be more similar to Gen 2.
• Botan cave is now entered via a cave entrance instead of stairs.
• Minor change to Castro Manor’s map: the eastern exit now goes to a new side dock in Castro Valley by the Manor instead of the Manor’s entrance.
• Better background blending for stools and tables for lab tileset.
• West entrance at the Rinjoh Peak gate is now only one tile, having a tree on the top half (same as all other horizontal gates in the game).
• The “map” on the map house at Hayward now has a unique sprite instead of being a book.

Tweaks

• Bugsy’s text slightly modified to clarify the 8th Gym Leader not being able to be rematched (Bugsy is the 8th rematch).
• Wild encounters for Power Plant and Botan City Cave have been tweaked to increase the rare 1% encounters to 5%.
• Tyrogue has been added as a 5% encounter to route 54 (previously only available as 1% encounter until post-game).
• The girl at Hayward looking for her Slowbro now randomly turns around instead of just looking to her left.
• Rocket at route 34 has had its engage distance reduced to 1.
• The scientist NPC at Route 34 Gate now only moves left to right to prevent him going into the door.
• Text has been added to the “notebook” on the table at the map house lady at Hayward City.
• Minor text fixes.
