Hi, I'm new. I've been here for a while, just never had a voice. Anyway, I'm making a hack of Platinum, you know basic stuff, 493,difficulty and maybe fairy-type, still looking into that. But point of this topic is about adding new moves. I figured I would just add the text for the move, Like the Name and the " (pokemon) used (move)!" Text. Then I edited the aspects of the move. Its:
Water Type
Special
BP:110
PP:10
Hits both pokemon in battle.
Oh by the by, I'm trying to add Origin Pulse.
And everything works, The game recognizes the move as a move, but the problem is that whenever the move is used in battle, it shows the animation for "Hitting Yourself In Confusion" and does EXACTLY 1 HP to the pokemon that uses it. I think it may be because the move has no description, but I have no clue. I have replaced moves such as sheer cold, with Moonblast, with the ??? type and it still did damage. Has anyone added moves to any gen 4 game before or might know why the move doesn't work properly? Any help is appreciated, Thank you.
