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

Changelog

January 16, 2025

• Anorith and Armaldo now additionally learns “waterfall” via HM (could already learn it via level up). ALso now learns “Dive” by TM
• Fixed typo on Agatha
• Removed nicknaming from starter pokemon interaction. Can be done from the party menu!
• You can now press “B” in wild battles to automatically highlight “Run”. This function is more useful for real HW but eh, every little helps
• Fixed the sticker printer from giving you nightmare icons instead of the correctly colored ones
• Modified Jigglypuff’s shiny colour scheme slightly
• National Park now shows up in the correct spot on the Town Map
• Changed access flags of NPCs inside Route 5 old daycare.
• Certain Pokémon will now start visibly following you in National Park. There will be funny nuances involved specifically with pokemon that do not yet have a visible follower. This is for compatibility reasons to prevent a game crash. The change to add the system for following pokemon requires that YOU START A NEW SAVE FILE, NO EXCEPTIONS. the system will obviously be expanded upon – with all pokemon planned and eventually will have them follow you in every major outdoor area. National Park was picked simply because it is an easy area to control and will allow me a safe area for further additions
• Lampposts in Goldenrod City (and also Saffron hopefully) will no longer appear above the player when they are walked directly under
• Fixed typhlosion’s follower sprite colouring
• Fixed issue whereupon you could get away with not having the Sport Balls removed from your inventory in the Safari Zone
