A Pokémon Platinum Overhaul Hack

Modified from Pokémon Renegade Platinum by Drayano, with permission

Note: b1.2.1 and b1.2.0 contain a game-breaking bug where Fantina's script in the Contest Hall won't play properly, and progression is impossible. Please update as soon as possible!

The game crashes when the first Barry battle begins if you did not use a Revision 1 rom to patch. This is a known issue, and not possible to fix, as this hack was based on Revision 1 of Platinum.
Also, since the game's code is different, I cannot guarantee that patches for Renegade Platinum will work correctly with Altered Platinum. If you use any additional patches, I may not be able to fix any issues you encounter.

Introduction

Pokémon Altered Platinum is a Platinum hack which makes radical changes to the way the game works, for the sake of fun and a fresh Sinnoh experience.

Meet 30 new Sinnohan forms(not rushed, just been working on this thing for WAY too long), each with a unique design, type, stats and more!

Play with old Pokémon that have been changed so extensively that it's like they're brand-new, and get used to an overall higher standard of power where almost everything should be usable.

The Ice type has undergone some extensive changes, with its Rock weakness removed and new resistances to Water, Ground, and Dragon.

Face an increased challenge, that isn't quite Kaizo levels, but it's definitely tougher than base Renegade Platinum. With the removal of effort values, you're limited to roughly the same level of power as the NPC trainers(who also can't use EVs), and you don't have to EV grind for hours!

Gym Leaders are no longer limited to types! Instead, their teams are centered around a particular gimmick, such as Roark's Stealth Rock team.

Play around with some new moves with (sorta)custom animations, such as the low-power physical Fairy move Roughhouse, or the 100% accurate, 90 power, no effects physical Flying move Meteor Dive! Some are even signature moves, such as Skarmory's Steel Feathers or (SPOILER)'s Cosmic Void.

Find newly recolored shiny Pokémon, like an autumn-colored Leafeon, or cherry blossom Torterra, with Renegade's 1/512 shiny rate included!

Some NPC dialogue that didn't give lore or story has been replaced(not all of it yet). This includes new jokes and references, but also some extra lore for the new Sinnohan Forms, to help them truly feel at home in this brand-new Sinnoh! Each new form even includes new Pokédex entries!

On top of all of this, there's even a familiar face as a new postgame boss trainer, whom is equivalent to Renegade Platinum's Steven Stone battle. Check the Screenshots spoiler for more info!

Note: This is my first ever romhack, so if it's a little rough in places, that's why. Still, I've been iterating for quite a while, and I think it's a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy!

Contains all current and previous versions.
Note: This hack requires that your vanilla Platinum rom is Revision 1. It will not work correctly with the older version.

This hack is also based on an older version of Renegade Platinum without the Steven fight, though a different- but equivalent- fight has been added.

The custom sprites(packaged in a .zip separately from the releases) in this Google Drive are also free to use, but credit would be appreciated!

Tools Used

JackHack Tools: Like Drayano, I used a bunch of tools from his site, such as the DPP Attack Editor, DS Pokemon Editor, PokePicDS, and so on.

WPEDS: Used D-Trogh's Wild Pokemon Editor DS for most of my encounter edits.

PPRE: Mostly just used it for the trainer editor, everything else is kinda unstable...

HxD: A capable hex editor, which allowed me to do things like change sprite animations and offsets, and replace TMs

DSPRE Reloaded: Using this now for trainer, text and script editing in place of PPRE.

BTX Editor 2.0: Used it for replacing overworlds. Made the whole process far easier.

 

Credits

Drayano, for the original romhack and plenty of personal guidance. Without him, this wouldn't have been possible.

TheOnlineNinja759, a friend of mine, for the cute Sinnohan Raichu art at the top- and for helping me with the design of Sinnohan Dunsparce!

Jay-San, for a variety of helpful tutorials

JackHack96, for many of his tools

D-Trogh, for WPEDS

Alpha, SCV, for PPRE
AdAstra-LD for DSPRE Reloaded, and Mixone-FinallyHere for the original DSPRE.
KazoWar, for BTX Editor 2.0

Many people I'm probably forgetting because I've been working on this thing off and on for way too long...

Updated to b1.0.1, removing the Ice Type's resistance to Electric.

I think I went a bit too far to make Ice a better defensive type, and accidentally made it excessively amazing. With this change, Water/Ice Pokemon are still weak to Electric, and mono Ice no longer resists BoltBeam.

Would you be able to do like Renegade Platinum and have old versions of the patch available?

Sure; I just updated the download to a link to a Google Drive folder where every version will be uploaded from now on.

Updated to b1.1.0. This update is mostly a buff pass, going through some species I missed before, such as Primeape, Dewgong, Seaking, and to a lesser extent, Omastar.

Note that if you own certain Pokemon changed by this update, evolving them might cause some unexpected effects. For example, if you had a Seel with Thick Fat, it will evolve into a Dewgong with Deadeye. There shouldn't be any other issues with updating, however.

Oh, also, if you have a Pokemon that knows Rage earlier than is now intended, you get to have godlike power for a while.

What level does sentret evolve at

Level 22.
All the answers to questions like that are in the documents. You'll want to check SinnohanForms.txt for that.

Update b1.1.1 was just released, including resprites of two Sinnohan Form lines, and a minor change reverting Magnezone's base stat changes.

Posted

Another minor update, this time to b1.1.3 because I noticed some speed tiers were looking a little broken. A few fast, powerful Pokemon remain, but the ones without significantly exploitable weaknesses(that I noticed) have been tweaked.

Let me know if you think some of these nerfs were too much. Speed is hard to balance.

Posted

b1.1.6 released, making a few miscellaneous text changes and giving several Pokemon some new moves, inspired by changes made in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Posted (edited)

Released a tiny update, b1.1.8, that nerfs Sinnohan Raichu a bit to avoid it overshadowing Rotom-Frost(which is now a significant threat thanks to the Ice type changes).

Edited by Lithium
Posted (edited)

Released a bugfix update, b1.1.9, which corrects a few oversights where Sinnohan Pokemon such as Dragonair and Roselia didn't have their correct evolution methods/levels.

Edited by Lithium
Posted

Updated to b1.2.0, which adds a new postgame boss fight, equivalent to Renegade Platinum's Steven Stone battle- a double battle with Miror B.!

Let the music play!

Posted

Released a minor update, b1.2.1, which tweaks a few colors for the replaced shinies and changes Toxicroak's secondary ability from Anticipation to Instinct(a renamed version of Download).

I thought you might like to know that there's a bug in the contest hall with Fantina. It seems that she isn't able to head back to her gym because a certain spoiler character's dialogue injects itself and nullifies the event. I fixed the bug by reverting to an older version and moving back to the most recent version once Fantina made her way to the gym.

Yes, someone else actually reported this bug, and it's going to be fixed as soon as I can get a save file where the bug was present.

Apparently it happened because when you save scripts with DSPRE Reloaded, it just shuffles them around for some reason. They should work if you don't mess with the new order they're in, but I did and some stuff got screwed up.

Released b1.2.2, an important update which fixes a game-breaking bug in the Contest Hall where Fantina's script doesn't play properly, preventing you from progressing!

Posted

Updated to b1.2.3, which nerfs the Galactic Grunt in front of the Galactic Eterna Building, and increases the starting happiness of a few happiness evolutions.

Posted

Another tiny update- b1.2.4 fixes an oversight where Ursaring doesn't have Ursaluna's stats, and its secondary ability isn't Determined, as it should be.
