tbh i could just provide you an edited version of the rom with dual chop added in for the axew line if you actually want it since i added it in for fun as it was but only if OP gives permission for me to do so.

uhhhh no distributing roms here, that is technically illegal

that makes it ez bc tinkatink can only be female, tinkatink's ID is 1465 as seen here. so i'd replace like female glameow from the script in the editor whose ID is 1073. so ctrl+f and look up 1073, and replace all instances of 1073 with 1465 and finally save the script. the option will still show as glameow in the female hero only starter options but selecting glameow will now have the script call up tinkatink for you.

oMG it worked, thank you so much

oh yeah y'all, I want your opinions on something

I have determined I have three more unused slots for moves, so I'm trying to decide which Gen V+ moves to go with.  my current shortlist is Quiver Dance, Hex, Freeze-Dry, Draining Kiss, and Fusion Flare.  Do any of those feel more "necessary" than the others?  any other moves that you think could be added instead?

I know I keep yapping in this thread even though I’m not like a dev or anything I apologize, but if my opinion means anything, I’d be more inclined towards moves that are more common or practical. It’s more interesting and enjoyable to me personally having more moves that more pokemon have access to vs a move only one has access to. Moves like Draining Kiss Quiver Dance and Freeze Dry are awesome picks for that reason alone. They’re much more plain but a players will get to see them much more often and they would a legendary exclusive move. Other moves I can think of that might be worth considering a little are Hone Claws, Coil, Hurricane, Round, Hex, Psyshock, Scald, Work Up, and Wild Charge from Gen 5 alone. All are practical and have wide distribution I think, we don’t have a good physical electric move in PMD I don’t recall. Boomburst and Nuzzle from Gen 6 comes to mind. Lunge, Liquidation, Psychic Fangs, Solar Blade, and Fire Lash from Gen 7. The Isle of Armor tutor moves from Gen 8 are weird but worth a mention perhaps, but new moves added in Gens 8 & 9 start to become a lot more exclusive to single evolution lines and there isn’t much more worth a mention, besides like…Supercell Slam over Wild Charge or Aqua Cutter over Liquidation? If there’s only 3 slots available, perhaps you could do 1 status move, 1 physical move, and 1 special move respectively?

That's pretty cool, and I appreciate the thought, but yeah. Wouldn't want to step on the mod author's toes or have any one do something illegal either. And from the other comments/discussions going on in the thread it looks like they're getting ready to release an update some time in the next month or so? So I'm alright with waiting for the next release. Still a great mod, and stumbling across 1 tiny little thing that caught me offguard isn't gonna ruin it for me. Mostly I was just trying to be silly about it. TY a lot for looking at it though. Maybe that info you passed to them earlier gets used in some way that helps improve the mod experience for everyone and not just me personally. XD

Quiver Dance is iconic imo, Draining Kiss is a pretty cool fairy move too, but maybe you could leave a slot open? That way, those of us picking Pokémon with signature moves not included could consider adding it ourselves?

My votes goes to Quiver Dance and Draining Kiss. Freeze-Dry seems nice too.

I know it’s not one of the options but it’s agility in there?

Hello! I recently started a play through of explorers of fortune, its been really nostalgic. I chose eevee as my starter and vulpix as my partner. I wanted to know if theres anyway I can find the move pools of both. I see that eevee is given flail and I was curious to know if it was given anything else since eevee has always been notorious for a shallow movepool

Couple days late, didnt see there was a new page of comments. If your still looking for input, I agree with what another user said to add in moves that are more common. So stuff like quiver dance, hex, and freeze dry, etc. I'd personally love to see Helioptile's line get it's signature parabolic charge, but literally no one else has that move so you gotta consider if its worth wasting a precious move slot on it. Maybe add alternatives to these unique signature moves, like Helioptile getting access to Discharge instead as an example?

Agility's a gen 1 move, so yeah I'm pretty sure it's already in

My mistake, everything besides flail seems to match up with the gen IV learnset. I assumed because flail was added it somehow was buffed in its movepool. Wishful thinking I guess haha

My bad. I was trying to edit the base rom to add it has a tm 2 years ago and got the memory confused

Hi, it's me again. A couple of months ago, I wanted to update the game and couldn't figure out how to transfer the save file. Now I've updated the game, even though everything might be deleted, but the save file remains the same. Could you please tell me the location of the cycler so I can check if the update worked or if it's still an old version? (Sorry, I'm using Google Translate, so some things might be unclear.)

[EternalNeptunite]

Hiiii

 

sparkling aria when? It’s a crime that most of Primarina’s learned movesets aren’t ranged, and none are AoE

когда у меня будет больше слотов для ходов, я буду работать с ними, но у меня будет только три свободных слота, и я предпочту использовать их для более распространенных ходов, лол

Where is Cyclizar? I need to check if I installed the correct version (it wasn't added in the version I played).

Sorry about that, the translator changed the meaning of the text.

I don't suppose anyone has a save file that's completed the main quest (Dialga defeated, but not Darkrai).
