http://www.mediafire.com/file/0wwoa8sfgy8fbkj/Pokémon_MindCrystal(F)_v3.0.zip The source folder contains some of the ASM, so you can check for yourself some of the code behind the improvements. New: Both Latias and Latios roam through Kanto at Lv.50. Blue (the female FRLG deuteragonist) replaces Red in the female storyline (credits to NeonShadow2 for the sprites and NSora-96 for the overworld sprites). Pokémon palettes were updated to B2W2 standards and then improved even further if necessary. Some Pokémon were given a second type (Johto starters' final evolution for example). Odd Egg given to you by the Day Care Lady, which can hatch into any of the 17 non-Togepi babies and has a 50% of being shiny. Battle Frontier Pokémon from 351 to 950 are now tiered in the following fashion: _Set 1: 351 to 533 (183 Pokémon) _Set 2: 534 to 716 (183 Pokémon) _Set 3: 717 to 899 (183 Pokémon) _Set 4+: 351 to 950 ("183 Pokémon + 17 legendaries" times 3) A new setting has been added for Battle Frontier Pokémon, now they can have an Ability: _from either slot at random (default) _locked to Slot 1 _locked to Slot 2 Battle Frontier Pokemon IV and EV generation has been modified to optimize Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room most notably. 6 new Abilities were implemented: _Cursed Body (Shuppet, Banette, Froslass) _Magic Bounce (Natu, Xatu, Espeon, Absol) _Slush Rush (Swinub, Piloswine, Mamoswine, Glaceon) _Long Reach (Horsea, Seadra, Kingdra) _Galvanize (Voltorb, Electrode) _Queenly Majesty (Vespiquen) The following moves are now bounced back by Magic Coat and Magic Bounce: _Whirlwind _Roar _Disable _Spikes _Foresight _Encore _Torment _Taunt _Odor Sleuth _Miracle Eye _Embargo _Heal Block _Toxic Spikes _Defog _Stealth Rock All trees have Pokémon now, most of them default to Group 1. Starf Berry can now sharply increase accuracy and evasion as well. Stats will always be calculated assuming an IV of 31, regardless of the actual IV value, this is done to not disavantage you too much against trainer Pokémon, especially early-game. TMs are now reusable: _you can no longer throw away TMs _you can no longer give TMs to hold _Purchasable TMs, regardless of the currency, can only be bought one at time and only once _TM56, TM86 and TM26 are no longer Pickup items and were replaced with Lucky Egg, Life Orb and PP Max respectively _as such, each TM is available only once HP bar graphics in battle were changed: _HP are now displayed for the opposing side in single format, double format is unchanged in that regard Alternate forms from Trainers now have their correct Ability (instead of the Base form's) as well as their correct Stat spread (again instead of the Base form's). Shellos and Gastrodon East Sea forms are now available in Kanto. New fixes: Sleep Talk can now be used multiple times under the effect of Choice items and/or Encore. Headbutt Trees encounters ignore Intimidate and Keen Eye. Cute Charm encounters have been improved: _Cute Charm-generated PID are no longer restricted, which means you can't abuse anymore Cute Charm for easy Shinies _assuming the initial check succeeded (2 chances in 3), Cute Charm won't generate a new PID in the following cases: __If Cute Charm would actually decrease the odds of encountering a given gender for one given species, __If the Cute Charmer is genderless, __If the Wild Pokémon is a specimen of a male-only species, __If the Wild Pokémon is a specimen of a female-only species, __If the Wild Pokémon is a specimen of a genderless species, __If the Wild Pokémon's gender is already the opposite of the Cute Charmer's Bugfix: Capture Tutorial fixed Additional Trainers fixed Tough Claws fixed Non-Sturdy Pokémon benefitting from Sturdy fixed Mom always buying Haban Berry out of the 18 Berries fixed Mistake on Bug Catching score fixed Mistake on Egg IV calculation fixed Growth, Minimize, Sweet Scent and Tail Glow not boosting their respective stats properly when called by other moves fixed Acupressure failing if called by other moves and if the user is behind a Substitute fixed Roseli Berry not always reducing super-effective Fairy-type moves fixed Lugia summoning cutscene slowed down to 30 FPS to work on a NDS Ho-Oh summoning cutscene slowed down to 30 FPS to work on a NDS Script error on Egg move tutor fixed TODO: !Damage-reducing berries now halve the damage that was to be taken before Endure and Sturdy are taken into account !18 new items: the Gems _A Gem will not be consumed if the move is going to fail, regardless of the reason _Moves that deal fixed damage or whose damage does not depend on the damage formula are ignored update the encounter tables update the trainers tables

Coming soon: the Odd Egg, hatching into 1 Pokémon out of 17 possible species, and with 50% (actually 49.9904%) chance of being shiny.

If a Pokémon uses Endure, is supposed to take damage equal or superior to its current HP, and happens to consume a held damage-reducing Berry the same turn Endure is used, then: _the Enduring Pokémon won't be left with Math.floor(Expected damage / 2) HP , nor 1 HP if Expected damage >= 2 * current HP; _but instead will be left with Math.floor(Current HP / 2) + 1 HP, or 1 HP if Current HP <= 2. In other words this tells us that Endure, if successful, is checked before damage-reducing Berries, which is obviously a bad design. A similar problem happens with Counter, Mirror Coat and Metal Burst (possibly Bide as well) where the damage sent back is doubled from the damage that was to be taken BEFORE damage-reducing Berries are checked (showcased here).

I see, some unforeseen consequences of this function located in ImprovedTrainers.s: @Incorporate Shininess:xrpl_0206DF1A:NOPLDR R2, [sP, #0x108]LDRB R2, [R2, #-0x14]LDR R3, =ShinyByteLDRB R2, [R3, R2]LDR R2, [sP, R2]LDRB R2, [R2, #3]TST R2, #0x80EOREQ R1, R1, #0x80000000STR R1, [sP, #0x3C]ADD LR, LR, #0x22BX LR which is actually hooked on the function where the shiny lock for Trainer's Pokémon is done. Instruction LDR R2, [sP, #0x108] is supposed to return an address in R2, problem is that the Rattata and the Marill from the catching tutorial also use this function, and in this case R2=0x0, which is a big no-no in a NDS. As such I modified the function into this: @Incorporate Shininess:xrpl_0206DF1A:NOPLDR R2, [sP, #0x108]CMP R2, #0BEQ .ShinyCheckDoneLDRB R2, [R2, #-0x14]LDR R3, =ShinyByteLDRB R2, [R3, R2]LDR R2, [sP, R2]LDRB R2, [R2, #3]TST R2, #0x80.ShinyCheckDone:EOREQ R1, R1, #0x80000000STR R1, [sP, #0x3C]ADD LR, LR, #0x22BX LR Which now takes into account the particular case where R2=0x0. This also means that Rattata and Marill will never be shiny, which was already the case in retail games. I will update the link, but first I want to test the game to see if there is any other major glitch. The problem is that after doing all those mods, I don't think I have enough left in the tank to do a translation on top of that, so no sorry. But if you're interested someone was kind enough to translate MindCrystal in English: https://mega.nz/#!SwNF2LwJ!9RuiKJ3DhkQ_fxDG9s1sxr_NjslRAfyP6yi0CNQiu1w

beta 2.0 Fixed the quiet tune on map 108 (Route 45), a glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Fixed Strength graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Fixed Facade graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Fixed Kris' frames when riding a bicycle to the left. Fixed glitched Trainer names with 8 characters or more. Fixed 4 mistakes on overlay 18 that made the game hang upon sending some Pokémon according to their abilities (thanks Asia81). Routes 26, 27, 28, Tohjo Falls and Victory Road will always play the Johto versions of the Wild Pokémon theme and the VS Trainer theme. Eevee can now evolve into Leafeon if leveled-up at Ilex Forest. Eevee can now evolve into Glaceon if leveled-up at Ice Path. Magneton and Nosepass can now evolve into Magnezone and Probopass respectively if leveled-up at Team Rocket HQ. Pokémon that require a trade to evolve all gained an alternate method of evolution. Vulpix is now Fire/Fairy type. Persian is now Normal/Dark type. Misdreavus and Mismagius are now Ghost/Fairy type. Some Base Stats were upgraded to help some Pokémon perform better (for example Persian or Probopass). Hidden Power can be Normal or Fairy type now as well, the Hidden Power NPC will notice this too. Hidden Power no longer takes into account Speed to calculate the type. SFX for some moves were altered to suit them better. All 7 Fossils are available now at Ruins of Alph. The timeframe window to react to a rod bite has been doubled to make up for to the game running at 60 FPS while fishing. Females can now pass egg moves as well, eliminating all impossible egg moves combinations. A new NPC, called the Egg Move Tutor, makes an appearance; as the name implies he is capable of teaching your Pokémon moves that normally it has to know from birth, but also level-up moves that only pre-evolutions can learn, and for some Pokémon moves that they have no other way to learn, but you'll have to spend a hefty 200 BP to pay for his services! Having a Pokémon with the Ability Super Luck leading the party increases the likelihood of encountering a Shiny Pokémon. Shiny generation from "forced shiny encounters" method was slightly altered to take into account the modified Shiny Rate. Score calculation for the Bug-Catching Contest was modified to take into account shininess. Opponents' Pokémon can be shiny now. The number of possible seals combinations for opponents' Pokémon went up from 28 to 216. Nature is now easy to customize for opposing Trainers' Pokémon. Opponents can now have their Pokémon in any kind of Poké Ball. IVs for opponents' Pokémon can be chosen from a pool of 64 combinations, most notably to capitalize on Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room. Ace Trainer Lois replaces Juggler Irwin in the Pokégear, you can set a rematch with her on Wednesday afternoons (10:00 to 19:59). ASM hack to allow more than 737 trainers in-game (complete with text). Battle Frontier Pokémon will always have an IV of 31 in all 6 stats. You must get all 8 Johto badges in order, this means: Chuck must be defeated before you can get the SecretPotion Jasmine must be defeated to unlock Route 42 All 16 Gym Leaders teams got revamped, as well as those of the Elite 4, Lance and Red. Continuity for opposing Trainers is preserved, by that I mean that the IVs, nature, shininess and gender of opposing Pokémon stay the same (for example Falkner's Pidgeot is canonically the same creature as when he was only a Pidgey). Pokédex entries got upgraded to match those of Pokémon Crystal (001 to 251) and Pokémon B2W2 (past 251 whenever possible). Gender will always be displayed, even for both Nidorans. Castform and Cherrim alternate forms now display their respective icon during battles. Castform's alternate forms now display their respective type when checked through the menu during battles. A new item was created, the Evolutor, which when applied like an Evolutionary Stone to a Lv 100 Pokémon, allows it to evolve if it can do so! Lv 100 Pokémon can gain EVs by fighting now, but they still need to be deposited in the PC for the stat gains to take fully effect. Lugia and Ho-Oh Kimonos' cutscenes co-exist. To-do: Continue to expand the biotope to increase the versatility of team-building. Continue to increase the levels of wild Pokémon to take into account the new difficulty curve. 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! Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lz83do1q3gc331b

OP updated with the addition of a fix for Strength.

Video courtesy of Wooggle Smith, showcasing the Facade glitch : [video=youtube;frLwdt3bSW4] Every time Facade is used, the sprite of the Pokémon who used the move will go up (or down for some Pokémon) by 1 pixel. To fix that graphical oversight: _Go to narc wazaeffect/we.arc (DPPt) or a/0/1/0 (HGSS) _Go to file 263 (which is the index number of the move Facade) _Replace all 6 instances of 05 00 05 00 with 04 00 04 00 But that's not all, there's also a glitch with the move Strength which moves the sprite of the Pokémon who used it by 2 pixels to the right. Again to fix this: _Go to narc wazaeffect/we.arc (DPPt) or a/0/1/0 (HGSS) _Go to file 70 (index number of Strength) _Search for the string 0A000000 05000000 16000000 87070000 8BFFFFFF, and replace the 0A000000 with 08000000. And that's it, Pokémon sprites won't erroneously shift up/down/right anymore after applying those 2 simple mods.

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?

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.

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

First post updated with a link.

No file attachment since the .zip is above 10 MB: http://www.mediafire.com/download/m3dnkqdpw9wr4vp 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.

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.

First post updated. Revision 4 brings 3 new updates to the table: A fix that allows the Pokémon summary screen to be loaded on a NDS should it detect a Fairy-type icon (this is not the ideal fix though, I'll give you that, but for its primary goal, this is more than enough for now); Narc a/1/2/5 needing to be tampered with due to the fact that it is loaded when teaching a move via the Move Relearner; Due to a better understanding of ASM, now the type-chart really is a 18×18 type chart now, not a 17×18 weird chart with a hackish way to account the Fairy-type as a defender.

Simply add 0×10 (16) to the 12th byte, like in B2W2, since this byte is always a number between 00 and 0F included, the end result would be a number between 10 and 1F included. More detailed explanation More specifically both the 11th and 12th bytes should be read together, since both trigger the EVs to give should a member of this species is defeated. For example Ninetales' EV data is 40 04. Invert the bytes to read it as 04 40. Cleave each byte in half so as to read each number separately: 0 4 4 0. Now convert into binary to read the EVs as 0000 0100 0100 0000. You can use this nice site for the conversions: http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/ Now read this number as pairs of 2 bits: 00 00 01 00 01 00 00 00. From right to left: _the first pair tells how many EVs to give in HP (from 0 to 3) _the second pair tells how many EVs to give in Attack (from 0 to 3) _the third pair tells how many EVs to give in Defense (from 0 to 3) _the fourth pair tells how many EVs to give in Speed (from 0 to 3) _the fifth pair tells how many EVs to give in Special Attack (from 0 to 3) _the sixth pair tells how many EVs to give in Special Defense (from 0 to 3) Now you can tell that defeating a Ninetales gives 1 EV in Speed and 1 EV in Special Defense. _the seventh pair, more precisely the 13th bit, is what the game read to know if the Pokémon should come from the air or not when being summoned from a Poké Ball. So if you put this bit at 1, the data would be read as 00 01 01 00 01 00 00 00. By gluing the pairs together 2 by 2, we get: 0001 0100 0100 0000. From binary to hex now: 1 4 4 0. By gluing each nybble together 2 by 2, we get: 14 40. Now invert the bytes and this will be the final data: 40 14.

Update coming soon that fix the Pokémon summary screen freeze when trying to view a Fairy-type Pokémon or Attack. I already implemented it in Black 2, as soon as I get it working in White 2 I'll update the OP.

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.

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.

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 - Sweet Kiss - 75 Status 10 0 Confusion Charm - 100 Status 20 0 -2 Attack Attract - 100 Status 15 0 Infatuation Moonlight - - Status 5 0 Restore HP Follow Me - 100 Status 20 2 Center of attention Extrasensory 90 100 Special 20 0 20% flinch Covet 40 100 Physical 25 0 Steal items Captivate - 100 Status 20 0 -2 Sp. Attack for opposite gender Battle Frontier: Shiny lock removed for opponents Pokémon in all 5 facilities. New items available for purchase. Battle Frontier Pokémon will always have an IV of 31 in all 6 stats. Battle Frontier Pokémon will always have the ability who is the best tailored for a given set Battle Frontier Pokémon EV and IV generation has been modified to optimize Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room most notably. Battle Tower: Shiny lock removed as well for the NPC partners in Multi Battle mode. Battle Hall: As said earlier, Battle Hall includes the Fairy-type row. You still fight in rounds of 10 battles. The Silver Print is now obtained by challenging and defeating Argenta on the 80th battle. The Gold Print is now obtained by challenging and defeating Argenta on the 180th battle. Other mechanics inherent to the Battle Hall were updated to grant a flawless experience of the facility. Shiny chance is now 1/4096. Having a Pokémon with the Ability Super Luck leading the party increases the likelihood of encountering a wild Shiny Pokémon. Shiny generation from "forced shiny encounters" method was slightly altered to take into account the modified Shiny Rate. Cute Charm PID generation is improved and no longer restricted, which means you can no longer abuse Cute Charm for easy Shinies. Shellos and Gastrodon East Sea forms are now available in Kanto. +50% Physical Defense boost for Ice-types under Hail. Soundproof check against Heal Bell removed. Stealth Rock damage is decreased by half. Fixed the move Hail, basically in gen IV the way Hail is coded allows you to use Hail despite Snow Warning. Fixed the move Fire Fang so that it doesn't hit through Wonder Guard anymore unless it happens to be super-effective. Hidden Power can be Normal or Fairy type now as well, the Hidden Power NPC will notice this too. Hidden Power no longer takes into account Speed to calculate the type. Some Base Stats were upgraded to help some Pokémon perform better (for example Persian or Probopass). Starf Berry can now sharply increase accuracy and evasion. Castform and Cherrim alternate forms now display their respective icon during battles. Castform's alternate forms now display their respective type when checked through the menu during battles. HP bar graphics were changed. HP are now displayed for the opposing side in single format, double format is unchanged in that regard. Fixed Strength graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Fixed Facade graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Battle Style is now permanently locked on Set. You can't use items from your bag against a Trainer, very much like against Battle Frontier Trainers! All Trainers' Pokémon have now 31 IVs in all 6 stats. All Trainers' Pokémon have now 255 EVs in all 6 stats. All Trainers' Pokémon have now the possibility to easily get beneficial natures. All Trainers' Pokémon have now the possibility to be shiny. IVs for opponents' Pokémon can be chosen from a pool of 64 combinations, most notably to capitalize on Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room. All Trainers' Pokémon can now be contained in Balls other than Poké Balls. The number of possible seals combinations for opponents' Pokémon went up from 28 to 216. Ace Trainer Lois replaces Juggler Irwin in the Pokégear, you can set a rematch with her on Wednesday afternoons (10:00 to 19:59). ASM hack to allow more than 737 trainers in-game (complete with text). Continuity for opposing Trainers is preserved, by that I mean that the IVs, nature, shininess and gender of opposing Pokémon stay the same (for example Falkner's Pidgeot is canonically the same creature as when he was only a Pidgey). Alternate Forms from Trainers now have their correct Ability as well as the correct Base Stats' spread. A new item was created, the Evolutor, which when applied like an Evolutionary Stone to a Lv 100 Pokémon, allows it to evolve if it can do so! Eevee can now evolve into Leafeon if leveled-up at Ilex Forest or Viridian Forest. Eevee can now evolve into Glaceon if leveled-up at Ice Path or Seafoam Islands. Magneton and Nosepass can now evolve into Magnezone and Probopass respectively if leveled-up at Team Rocket HQ, Route 10 or Power Plant. Feebas, on top of requiring a beauty's stat of 170 min, is now required to level-up at least at level 20 to be able to evolve. Feebas gains a second failsafe evolution method in case the Sheen is maxed before the Beauty stat reaches 170. Female/Male Kirlia evolves into Gardevoir/Gallade at Lv 30. Female/Male Snorunt evolves into Froslass/Glalie at Lv 42. Female/Male Clamperl evolves into Gorebyss/Huntail with the Dawn Stone. Pokémon that require a trade to evolve all gained an alternate method of evolution. Incenses babies are now the default base form. Miltank and Tauros are now considered the same species for breeding purposes. Feebas/Milotic and Magikarp/Gyarados are now considered the same species for breeding purposes. Females can now pass egg moves as well, eliminating all impossible egg moves combinations. A new NPC, called the Egg Move Tutor, makes an appearance; as the name implies he is capable of teaching your Pokémon moves that normally it has to know from birth, but also level-up moves that only pre-evolutions can learn, and for some Pokémon moves that they have no other way to learn, but you'll have to spend 100 BP to pay for his services! The Odd Egg will be given to you by the Day-Care lady! Gender ratios are fixed, with that I mean that for example 1 male per female REALLY means 1 male per female (and not 129 males for 127 females). Ponyta, Rapidash, Gardevoir, Feebas, Milotic and Gorebyss are now female-only. Magikarp, Gyarados, Glalie and Huntail are now male-only. EV limit is now 1530, you can max all stats now. The new EV limit also applies in the Battle Frontier. Vitamins cap at 255 EVs now. Vitamins give 15 EVs per usage now. Lv 100 Pokémon can gain EVs by fighting now, but they still need to be deposited in the PC for the stat gains to take fully effect. IVs no longer have an effect on stats, that is stats are always calculated assuming an IV of 31, this is done to not disavantage you to much against Trainers, especially early-game. Updated Items: Light Ball benefits Pichu and Raichu as well now. TM45 and TM78, which contain Attract and Captivate respectively, have been updated with a Fairy-type TM icon. New Items: Pixie Plate Roseli Berry Eviolite Evolutor TMs: TMs are now reusable you can no longer throw away TMs you can no longer give TMs to hold Purchasable TMs, regardless of the currency, can only be bought one at time and only once TM56, TM86 and TM26 are no longer Pickup items and were replaced with Lucky Egg, Life Orb and PP Max respectively each of the 92 TMs is available only once! If possible, moves were upgraded to match Gen V+ information. Nerfs from Gen VI are NOT applied (this means that for example Surf and Hydro Pump remain at 95 and 120 power respectively). Even moves like Tail Glow, which should boost the Special Attack by 3 stages, have been updated successfully (complete with the text). Acupressure now works if the user is behind a substitute. Sleep Talk can now be used multiple times under the effect of Choice Items and/or Encore. SFX for some moves were altered to suit them better. Updated Abilities: Stench (Gen V+ behavior) Sturdy (Gen V+ behavior) LightningRod (Gen V+ behavior) Sand Stream (now makes the user immune against sandstorms) Simple (Gen V+ behavior) Storm Drain (Gen V+ behavior) Snow Warning (now makes the user immune against hailstorms) New Abilities: Sheer Force Contrary Defeatist Cursed Body Multiscale Poison Boost Flare Boost Overcoat (Gen V behavior) Regenerator Sand Rush Wonder Skin Analytic Infiltrator (Gen VI behavior) Magic Bounce Sap Sipper Prankster Sand Force Fur Coat Bulletproof Strong Jaw Refrigerate Gale Wings MegaLauncher Tough Claws Pixilate Aerilate Slush Rush Long Reach Galvanize QueenMajesty Text Speed is now permanently locked on Fast. Battle Scene is now permanently locked on On. National Pokédex is the default mode upon beginning the adventure. Player's Mom can now buy batches of 5 Roseli Berries as well. Roseli Berries can be occasionally held by wild Absol. Game runs now at 60 FPS ! Allowing for much quicker battles. Several sprites changed/fixed. Some shiny sprites recolored. ORAS mini-icons. Palettes for the Pokémon sprites were all updated to B2W2 and improved even further if necessary Replaced Sky Attack move tutor with Zap Cannon. Roseli Berries can now be planted in Berry Pots, they have the same growth and moisture drain rate as the other damage-reducing berries. New movesets and egg moves. Routes 26, 27, 28, Tohjo Falls and Victory Road will always play the Johto versions of the Wild Pokémon theme and the VS Trainer theme. Lyra was fully replaced by Kris. All 7 Fossils are available now at Ruins of Alph. All trees have Pokémon now and ignore the effects of Intimidate and Keen Eye. The timeframe window to react to a rod bite has been doubled to make up for to the game running at 60 FPS while fishing. Fixed the quiet tune on map 108 (Route 45), a glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Bug-Catching Contest species vary according to the day of the week, Scyther and Pinsir are the only Pokémon always available in a Contest but only have a 1% encounter rate! Score calculation for the Bug-Catching Contest was modified to take into account shininess. Pokédex entries got upgraded to match those of Pokémon Crystal (001 to 251) and Pokémon B2W2 (past 251 whenever possible). Gender will always be displayed, even for both Nidorans. Lugia and Ho-Oh Kimonos' cutscenes now co-exist. Bugfix: Fixed Kris' frames when riding a bicycle to the left. Bugfix: Fixed glitched Trainer names with 8 characters or more. Bugfix: Fixed 4 mistakes on overlay 18 that made the game hang upon sending some Pokémon according to their abilities. (thanks Asia81) Bugfix: Capture tutorial work properly Bugfix: Additional trainers work properly Bugfix: Ability Tough Claws work properly Bugfix: Non-Sturdy Pokémon no longer can benefit from Sturdy Bugfix: Player's mom can now buy all 18 kinds of super-effective Berries Bugfix: Bug catching score calculation now takes into account Shininess properly Bugfix: Egg IV calculation fixed Bugfix: Growth, Minimize, Sweet Scent and Tail Glow work properly even when called by other moves Bugfix: Acupressure now works if the user is behind a substitute, even if Acupressure is called by other moves Bugfix: Roseli Berry now always reduces super-effective damage from Fairy-type moves Bugfix: Lugia and Ho-Oh cutscenes were slowed down to 30 FPS to work properly on a NDS Bugfix: Entering a fight no longer causes a BSoD after talking to the Egg Move Tutor Title Screen: All of those modifications were carefully tested on a NDS, so as to reduce as much as possible the eventual bugs that might occur.

So, I was wondering why in HGSS, Chuck's Medicham (at 141 HP) would ALWAYS OHKOes himself after missing Hi Jump Kick against a Lv.100 Giratina (who at the absolute worse, still has 410 HP), it didn't match with the currently known Gen 4 mechanics of (Hi) Jump Kick. After scratching my head good, I decided to test thoroughly what was that, and here are my results: What is currently known: If a Pokémon misses Jump Kick or Hi Jump Kick, no matter the reason, it will take crash damage equal to half the damage that would have been dealt, rounded down. If the Pokémon is supposed to take crash damage but the result is 0, then make the result 1. What is not known: If a Pokémon misses Jump Kick or Hi Jump Kick against a Ghost-typed target, it will take crash damage equal to half the target's Max HP instead, regardless of: the difference of level between the user and the target, the target having Wonder Guard, the target using Protect/Detect, the target being in the semi-invulnerable turn of a 2-turns move BUT If the Pokémon who missed Jump Kick or Hi Jump Kick against a Ghost-typed target happens to have the ability Scrappy and/or has used Foresight/Odor Sleuth beforehand, the game will instead perform, according to the assembly, a comparison between half the damage that would have been dealt (Variable 1) and half the max HP of the Ghost-typed target (Variable 2). If Variable 2 is greater than or equal to Variable 1, the game will choose Variable 1, else it will choose Variable 2. If the Pokémon is supposed to take crash damage but the result is 0, then make the result 1.

I found 2 errors again, sorry ^^' Entei still learns Fire Blast at lv. 71, so I assume that you forgot to update it to lv. 91 since this is the level Raikou and Suicune learn Thunder and Hydro Pump respectively. Trying to check the statues in Blaine's Gym results in an error-trapping screen the same way the Cleanse Tag used to, but only does so until you beat Blaine, afterwards the 2 statues behave like they are supposed to.

What happens with Route 5 also happens with Route 10, Route 23 and Lavender Town if that can help.

Hi. I've found 3 bugs so far: Upon reaching Route 5 the location bar displays CERULEAN CITY instead of ROUTE 5. The Cleanse Tag was given a useless USE option: Trying to deposit the Cleanse Tag in the PC will always result in an error-trapping screen with this specific palette:

Hello once again for a tutorial, really simple this time. Those who have a keen eye most certainly noticed that Krookodile back animation does NOT match up with its front animation. More precisely, this is the duration of Krookodile's different animated parts: Front animation: moves for 54 frames 4 times 0 to 53 54 to 107 108 to 161 162 to 215 [*]then moves for 108 frames once 216 to 323 [*]loops Back animation: moves for 54 frames 5 times 0 to 53 54 to 107 108 to 161 162 to 215 216 to 269 [*]then moves for 108 frames once 270 to 377 [*]loops The back animation has a supernumerary part that shouldn't be there, the fix is really simple: Step 1: Open your Black (2)/White (2) ROM with CrystalTile2. Step 2: Click the NDS icon or Ctrl+N to open the file browser. Step 3: Go to narc a/0/0/4. Step 4: Locate the file 11067* and export it. Step 5: Import it in place of the file 11076*. Step 6: Save and close CrystalTile2. *Those two files have the exact same data between all 4 versions, thus they are interchangeable. That's it, now you can test in-game and see by yourself that Krookodile's back animation is now on par with the front animation.

[video=youtube;7CCKERTzGJI] This is the format of the banlist: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 C0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 C0 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 98 7E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 D8 03 Notes: The banlist is 0-based and should be read in binary. Bit=0 means its corresponding Pokémon is allowed. Bit=1 means its corresponding Pokémon is banned. Formula to find whether a Pokémon is banned or not is P=(8×B)+b with: P (Pokémon) being a number between 0 and 649 included; B being the Byte number, counting from 0; b being the bit number from a given Byte, from 0 to 7 included read from right to left. The banlist is located at narc a/1/0/5 in BW, and narc a/1/0/6 in B2W2. Even though the banlist is the same between the facilities enforcing it, the banlist itself is technically not unique as you'll see below: Battle Subway and Battle Institute (All versions): Single Battle and Wi-Fi: file 20 Double Battle: file 21 Multi Battle: file 22 PWT (Black 2 and White 2 only): Single Battle: file 33 Double Battle: file 34 Triple Battle: file 35 Rotation Battle: file 36
