Nobody knows how to do this yet. I may have found a lead but it will take a lot of reverse engineering.

I've found a program that can convert the music to other formats. Will attempt to reverse the process

in a few months time when all other work is done.

-New Pokemon

Nobody understand the model and animation formats yet so may be some years away

A big issue I found with was that some of the shadow pokemon that are obtained later are obtained too late to be used in your team.

I have put some thought into the availability of pokemon but it will be impossible to please everybody as our individual preferences will differ.

The purification rate of the shadow pokemon will have a shallower curve so the ones obtained later shouldn't be as hard to integrate into your team. Coupled with the steeper level curve it will be easy to add them to your team.

Also, colosseum and had shadow pokemon in them which were hard to obtain in the gen III games and were nice for completing the pokedex.

However, most of them were really useless pokemon. I aimed to add all the most popular and powerful pokemon. I will upload the full list of obtainable pokemon shortly.

Sorry if your favourite pokemon didn't make it but I'll be releasing hack tools in the coming months which you can use to tweak the hack to your liking

THIS IS SO GREAT THANK YOU. I love your work, and I literally made an account just to thank you!

Is the code you used to make this open source?

Or is the game patch itself open source? 

I'd love a resource I could use to read through how you made this so that I could contribute and learn more about gamecube hacking. 

Thanks again either way. Cheers!
