  • Starter Mod

    This mod patches a lot of things to bring the best possible playing experience. Here's what it will patch for you:

    • Starter editing - Makes playing as other Pokémon possible
    • High-Res model patching - Prevents your model from disappearing during certain closeups
    • Portrait patching - Shows the default portrait in the absence of a more specific emotion portrait
    • Animation patching - Substitute missing story animations with dungeon ones to avoid the attack animation being used for everything
    • And something else in the scripts specific to Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon that can't be mentioned without revealing spoilers. It is the last item in a similar list in this video if you're fine with being spoiled, or if you've seen it before.

    You must have Java on your computer to use this.

    This has been tested on the North American and European versions of Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, and the North American version of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. I don't know if will work on the Japanese version of Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, but it will not work on any other version of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity.

    Instructions

    1. On the New Project window, choose "Starter Mod" in the drop-down, and fill in the name with something that makes sense. Then click OK.

    2. Wait until the loading is complete. This is one of the heavier mods, and may take some time even on beefier computers.
    3. Save the solution, to avoid having to repeat step 2 if something goes wrong.
    4. Expand the project you just created and open "fixed_pokemon.bin". You can do this either by double-clicking or by right-clicking and clicking Open.

    5. Edit things to your liking. You should see this when editing Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (Gates to Infinity has a much simpler interface):

      For the purpose of this guide, I'll do this:

      Things to consider:
      • Each Pokémon must have 4 moves. It's been a while since I tried having less, but I remember things not working with fewer than 4 moves. In my example, I got the first three moves from the level up, and the fourth from Zorua's set of egg moves, although you are not required to stick to these; you can pick anything you want.
      • (PSMD only) The evolution must be the final evolution in the line. If you pick a Pokémon with multiple evolutions, the first on will be used. Refer to the PSMD Pokédex index to find which evolution comes first (for example, if the starter is Eevee, the first evolution is Vaporeon).
    6. Click File -> Save -> Save File.

    7. You can now rebuild the mod-pack. Note that this may take a while.

    You can use the left and right arrows to see the other partners. As for the nickname, that's a known limitation. You can, however, change it from the main menu once you progress a little in the story.

    Thank you!

    Hello, I have a problem trying to make the starters mod work. I can create the project and it shows as completed, but when I play, nothing changed.

    Last time, I tried modifying the attacks only, and got that error.

    Hope you can help me.

    Was there anything in the Errors window?

    That looks like a UI error. Do you remember clicking anything in particular prior to encountering this?

    This window lets you create a file. For the most part, this won't be useful. For PSMD editing, all files will be created for you, so you'll instead want to create a new project.

    I got the error after i tried again, and clicked in the error windows while building the solution.

    I did another attempt and the solution completed successfully, (it showed two as completed) and got nothing in the errors windows.

    In the Modpack/Output folder, there should be a zip file. Could you upload that please?

    Dumb question, but is it possible to run Citra with this mod?

    Yep. Just be sure your modpack outputs a decrypted 3ds ROM.

    Sorry, I'm still new to this, how exactly do you do that?
    Do you go to the ModPack properties and check the 'Build Decrypted 3ds'? If so, then what?

    After you check "Build Decrypted 3DS", just use Solution -> Build.

    Once it's finished, the ROM will be in (Solution Directory)/Modpack/Output.

    Oh, wow, that's quite the error. It looks like it's coming from inside the UI framework or something. What was the last thing you did before the error came up?

    Hey, I'm using Sky Editor 4.0.1.0, and trying to modify starter for PSMD.  I add a .3ds of psmd to the base rom project, but when I try and create a project under solution, the starter mod option never appears in the dropdown.  Any advice?

    I have no idea what's causing the issue. But just to confirm, which region of the game are you using?

    That version is rather old. Try the one from the intro:

    Not possible without a lot more advanced editing, unfortunately. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to evolve into a Gallade post game, however. Just not with the harmony scarf.
