Future plans

Once I have gotten the game into a completable state from start to finish with as few bugs as possible, I plan on doing the following;
– Adding in Gen 5 Pokémon.
– Adding a Nuzlocke mode into the game.
– After finding a script hidden in game for dive spots, I’m thinking I may add in some post-game shortcuts for certain areas (for example a direct route from Goldenrod to Olivine via route 34) and will be using them to facilitate access to Gen 3 (and maybe Gen 4 also) legendaries

• New item added: Berserk Gene. Yes, this Gen 2 item is now in the game. it acts slightly differently than in those games, activating right at the start of the battle rather than at the end of the first turn.
• Tauros now has a 10% chance of holding the Berserk Gene in the wild.
• Pickup users have a 2% chance of picking one up when they pick up an item
• Fixed the triple layer tiling system. Should be able to make more elaborate map tiles now. This will also help me with fixing random layering issues such as with the counters while the shop menu is open
• Fixed mapping error inside Union Cave B2F
• Fixed mapping error in Violet City
• The speed of the Bicycle has been increased by around 50%
• New item added: Life Orb. I don’t think this one needs much explaining…this works with the Gen 5 rules of how Life Orb should work, so any Gen 6+ revisions are not included. Magic Guard also ignores the damage, since the source of the recoil is magical and not physical (in this hack Magic Guard does not ignore physical recoil damage)
• The Life Orb has been added to the battle tower battle items shop.
• The Goldenrod Game corner now has a section where you can redeem battle items in exchange for coins. The White Herb, Mental Herb and Berserk Gene are currently being sold here. This has the added benefit of being able to remove the TM menu once all 4 TMs have been purchased and not having that seller be completely useless as a result
• Stick has been renamed to Leek to match its Gen 8 update
• Reverted the triple layer change. It did not work as intended. I found a for more convoluted way to do the same thing – and it works so that will do…
• Fixed mapping error in Union Cave caused by the triple layer tile system reversion
• Fixed mapping error inside standard houses
• Cherrygrove City was made 2 tiles wider to fix issue whereupon if you ran into the map it would cause a glitched tree to load underneath the bottom right house
• Fixed mapping error in Violet City caused by me using a triple layer tile where I didnt need one
