soulsilver Pokémon MindCrystal

[MeroMero]

I'm glad to present you my attempt at a Pokémon hack, Pokémon MindCrystal, a mod of Pokémon SoulSilver.

I warn you though, this hack is available only in French.

The crux of this hack is obviously the inclusion of the Fairy-type at 100%.

Most of the changes were done from a technical standpoint.

These are the few parts of the storyline that were changed as of now:

• the girl in Ilex Forest gate that gave you the TM12 now gives you instead the Eviolite,
• Several TMs have changed location.
• the Day-Care lady gives to you the Odd Egg which can hatch into any 17 non-Togepi babies.
• all 16 Gym Leaders first teams got revamped, as well as those of the Elite 4, Lance and Red.
• all 16 Gym Leaders second teams got revamped, as well as those of the Elite 4, Lance.
• the inclusion of Lv.100 battles against Gym Leaders, Elite 4 and Red after defeating the latter for the first time.

Grab the xDelta patch at the bottom of this post and patch it with a French version of Pokémon SoulSilver.

• Revamped type-chart to include the Fairy-type matchup as well as all the neutral match-ups.
• Pixie Plate implemented.
• Roseli Berry implemented.
• Fairy-type Arceus in place of ???-type Arceus.
• Updated Judgment to take into account the Pixie Plate.
• Pokédex fully updated to take into account the Fairy-type in Research mode.
• Conversion updated to take into account the Fairy-type.
• Conversion 2 updated to take into account all 324 types match-ups.
• Battle Hall includes the Fairy-type row.
• Fairy-type icon.
• Pokédex Fairy-type icon.

Fairy-type moves:

Move			Power		Accuracy	Category	PP		Priority	Effect

Comet Punch		18		85		Physical	15		0		-
Slam 			90		100		Physical	10		0		-

Incoming in v2: gender-dependent storyline!

[video=youtube;6mSEx6OxzmQ]

Roughly 80 bytes of ASM code and a duplicate of the a/ folder (named z/ instead to ensure the Files ID are kept in the same order) to make this possible.

You can see there what a Gen IV Pokémon game running at 60 FPS looks like (be sure to watch the vid at 720p60 then).

And also Kris, to make a true tribute to Pokémon Crystal.

Basically if you play as a boy, Feebas and Milotic are unavailable in the wild, whereas if you play as the girl, Magikarp and Gyarados instead are the ones nowhere to be found.

In this hack this is not an insurmountable problem since the Magikarp/Gyarados family (who are male only) and the Feebas/Milotic family (who are female only) are considered the same species, which means you can get the missing counterpart by breeding with Ditto.

[Oxnite]

This is amazing. Just amazing. It's so cool to see you make all these edits and changes. Cool to see them now having a use in this hack!!

[MeroMero]

Thanks.

One thing I forgot to shed light on is that obviously, every single one of those modifications were tested with the utmost accuracy on my NDS lite.

Did you know the animation for the cutscene where the Kimono Girls are dancing to summon the cover legendary is actually dependent of a single byte, who in turn is independent of Lugia and Ho-Oh? (I'm talking about the waves for SoulSilver / falling leaves for HeartGold)

If that byte is 07, then the cutscene will play the HeartGold animation; if that byte is 08, then the cutscene will play the SoulSilver animation.

So what I did is an ASM hack to check upon each location change the current location, and thus if the current location is the one referred with the Location ID 340 (0×154, which refers to the Tin Tower's roof), then the cutscene byte will be changed from 08 to 07, else if it is any other location, that byte will be equal to 08.

Check in the RAM viewer for the offset 0×20F566C if you want to test it.

Unrelated but likewise, if the byte located at offset 0×20F5670 is equal to 02, then the titlescreen will be the HeartGold one, if it is equal to 03, then the titlescreen will be the SoulSilver one.

[Sliter]

wow this sia wesome O-O I can't play now but I'm VERY interested! great work!

Do you have any resource for moding Dsgames? Like... I want to know how to add npc, lengendaries in overworld and some stuff, on platinum xp and it's hard getting help =3=

[walnut3072]

I love how you made such clever improvements and modifications to perfect the game. All of this would deliver a much more engaging gameplay experience to HGSS fans like me.

And it'll be fantastic if you make more hacking tutorials for HGSS, especially the fully-compatible Fairy add-on. I just really wanna have a fairy-type pkm in my team.

Hi.

@MeroMero

For exemple !!!???::,rfhzr848

[MeroMero]

Oh, that?

Yes, a problem I never quite understood.

What I know is that it happens only for trainers who have 8 characters or more in their name.

Whenever I have the time I'll get a look on it and see if I can fix that.

[Asia81]

No file attachment since the .zip is above 10 MB:

Version 1.1 includes the gender-dependent storyline ASM Hack.

Added Contrary in the list of abilities in the OP (Contrary is actually present in v1.0 but I forgot to put it in the list).

The zip also includes a .sav where the female player is inside the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City.

You can also browse through the Pokédex to see which Pokémon changed type.

The Pokémon in the party all have moves they can learn in this hack, whether it is by level-up, move tutor, TM/HM or by breeding.

I don't think I have any motivation left to work on any ROM hacking.

Two years ago, I was clueless about ASM, and the first thing I did (Fairy-type Arceus) was approximate but at that time it was a huge accomplishment for me; but since then I have improved and look where I am today.

Despite that I still think that I had a good run and I had fun, so it's time for me to go quietly and serenely.

Know that anyone can use my any of my ROM hack as a base.

Also anyone is free to improve what can be improved.

Credits are appreciated but not required and I won't hold it against anyone.

[MosImba]

Is there any chance of an English Translation coming soon?

[MeroMero]

Is there any chance of an English Translation coming soon?

I'm afraid not, or at least it won't come from me, sorry.

[MosImba]

I'm afraid not, or at least it won't come from me, sorry.

Ah okay, it's all good mate, keep up the good work!

[markhaen62]

Dear MeroMero, i would like do a english translation, with your agreement of course, but the problem is:

1. I don't know how extract the text

2. I think alone, it would be hard.

If you can explain me how extract the text, just this, i would love to work on a translation !

[MeroMero]

You don't have to extract the text (narc a/0/2/7 btw), just download Spiky's DS Map Editor and you should be able to edit the text (and even add strings).

And of course you can, all the mods I did in that ROM are free to use.

[markhaen62]

Well thanks you! I'll try to translate it!

[Asia81]

I noticed when we enter in the Bag, it shutdown the music

[MeroMero]

This is the closest match I found that could describe the glitch you encountered:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_glitches_in_Generation_IV#GB_Sounds_muting _glitch

[video=youtube;ObhQQYe8UI8]

If it's not that, then:

_Is it something you run into regularly, or was it a one-time thing?

_Also in which route/city/cave/building does the glitch occur?

[karim]

Hi MeroMero.

Nice job on this hack, really loved it.

Can you tel me please how did you increase battle speed?

[Hiro TDK]

Because I don't normally browse these forums, I didn't know that you had released this. I'm working on a similar hack, though I'm getting sidetracked with other things. I released a patch for putting Kris in the game, but I encountered a palette bug in the character mugshots in the opening animations. I worked around it, but I was wondering, did you encounter this bug as well in the French version?

I love what you have done with this hack, by the way. I noticed that you simply removed Kris from the bag screen. Were you unable to edit Kris into this, or was it just too much trouble? This is the only thing that I have not done in my Kris patch as well.

[tyuoo]

This is a really awesome hack but sadly it's spanish. Anyways I am trying to make a hgss rom hack with available level up moves,attacks etc updated to 6th gen standard(whatever is possible with tools like ppre for example).

I wanted to add fairy type to hgss but you don't have any tuts or files for them(there is for b2w2 atleast). Thankfully you posted a tut to edit hgss type chart. Now the only thing left is to add fairy type(with icons). Anything that can help me?

Anyways really awesome work on 4th gen hacking. Thanks

[NaSMaX]

Swwt Christmas this looks like an awesome hack...... really sad I skipped french class now...

• Update the Pokédex locations (which can be done).
  
• Continue to change the teams of opposing Trainers.
  
• Change the Game Corner dialogue.
  

 

So, I wanted to get all the ASM Hacks out of the way, which is why I'm updating the download link now.

Some changes were in the way ASM Hacks are handled, most notably ASM Hacks that were previously stored in arm9 are now stored elsewhere, more precisely where the arenaoffs begins (or rather previously began, as now it has been pushed further).

That's because some glitches occurred like the Pokémon overworld icons that displayed the wrong Pokémon.

Also some new ASM Hacks were made, like for example the one that make EV training a Lv 100 Pokémon possible, and the one that allows the Evolutor to work fully.

Now that I got that out of the way, I can fully concentrate on the wild Pokémon and the Trainer teams!

Hello,

I'm very excited to test this but I encountered a bug in the begining when Ethan shows me how to catch pokemons. The image freezes, the music continues but I can't reset the game. I play on a linker with my 3DS and I don't have any problem with the non-patched game be it with the linker or the original cartridge.

I hope there is a solution to my problem ! Thank you.

do you plan to release this hack on english after you did all the things of your to do list? I'm very interested in this hack, but my french skills are to bad for playing it.
