Pokémon Trial Black (Pokémon Black Hack)

[Mochorro]

Pokémon Trial Black

I am Spanish, so sorry if my English isn't very good.

Introduction:

Well, this is a hack I've been doing along with my sister. It's our very first hack. We are noobs at hacking, so there are many things we don't know how to do yet. I am just using tools that are easy to use. I would greatly appreciate some help in a few things I'll say later... This hack is supposed to be a challenge. I hope you enjoy it... Ok, here it goes!

Hack of: Pokémon Black (To apply the patch, you must have a clean USA Pokémon Black Rom. To get it, use google.)

Features:

- EVERY Pokémon has had its stat distribution changed, in order to make them more competitive and stronger.
- Many Pokémon have new abilities, some are from the Dream World, others are ones that we think suit them, or just make them more competitive, like Forretress with Heatproof, Girafarig with Adaptability, or Raikou with Flare Boost.
- The game is much harder than the originals. The level curve has been increased.
- Trainers, including Gym Leaders, will use different Pokémon. Important trainers are much harder than ordinary ones.
- Wild Pokémon have been edited as well. All 649 will be available.
- New starters! (Treecko, Chimchar and Totodile).
- There are no trade evolutions. Some Pokémon have also had their evolution level changed because they appear early in the game (Pawniard, Rufflet, Larvesta, Axew, Deino...)
- Some type changes here and there. As I said before, some in my opinion they suit them, or some to make the Pokémon better, such as Sudowoodo being Grass/Rock (I know it hates water, but Grass eliminates some of its weaknesses, and give him STAB Wood Hammer), or Banette being Normal/Ghost (Eliminating its weakness to Ghost-type moves). There are more (Masquerain- Water/Bug (with the ability Levitate), Seviper- Poison/Dark, Zangoose- Normal/Fighting, Porygon-Z- Normal/Electric...)
- Some moves have been changed to make them more useful.

- Some features we would like to add:

- Edit Item location (don't know how to do it.)
- Edit movesets. This is being done, but it's long, as I want to edit almost every Pokémon moveset.

- Bugs:

- Some rangers don't give berries... I read this happened due to using neltazero's Trainer editor... Don't know if it's fixable...
- The images of the starters are Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott. Just choose the correct typing to get Treecko (Snivy), Chimchar (Tepig) or Totodile (Oshawott).
- The in-game text refers to the starters as if they were Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. Don't know how to edit this. (Help, please)
- There can be more. If you find one, tell me.

- Screenshots:

Spoiler:

- Credits:

- My sister and I, because we've done everything.
- neltazero, for his Trainer editor, and Wild Pokémon editor.
- KazoWar, for his Trainer editor.
- TwistedFatal, for all his tools.
- OxNite, for his move editing tool.

- Downloads:

The new Beta2 goes up to Chargestone Cave. You can fully explore it, meaning that the Beta ends after you beat N in Chargestone Cave. Documentation with Pokémon changes, Wild Pokémon changes and that type of things will be available as soon as possible.

We are open to all type of suggestions. Even if you want us to change a trainer roster, or want to suggest an ability or something that can make the Pokémon better, just tell me, and we'll see if it's better than what there is. Also, if you want a team of Pokémon you like to be included, just tell me the roster, and if I like it I'll add it to one of the post-Pokémon League trainers.

Support us!

Hm... Any reason you gave Pidgey Adaptability? I'm just curious, seems like a random placement to me.

Thanks for the support! I'll do my best to get a challenging game you all can enjoy.

I gave the Pidgey's line Adaptability because I wanted them to be stronger, because it makes them better... You know, Pidgeot's normal abilities suck (Big Pecks, Keen Eye and Tangled Feet), so I gave it something different to make it stronger, there is no other reason.

Ok, I've finished Nimbasa City trainers (well, not all the dome ones have been touched yet, I have only edited the ones you can battle when you first get to Nimbasa.) Now I am editing Cheren's battle in Route 5. Wild Pokémon have been edited up to Route 6, as well. I am also elaborating movesets for some Pokémon. I hope to release a new Beta (1.2) this week, but I won't be able to implement moveset editing, not all, but there will be a few changes.

Ups, my bad, I made a mistake when writing it.

i am NOT gaining ANY exp! i have tried with a BUNCH of different SD cards, and all of them have the same result: no EXP. The game doesn't work with YS Menu, and on Acekard RPG it gives no EXP. do you know why? it's driving me CRAZY!

The game gives me experience in m3iZero, and in Desmume. In YSmenu it does not work, that I know, but there I can't do anything. The game doesn't have the patch that makes it give experience, I thought that the latest Flash Card updates solved this without needing to patch the Rom. Try patching the game with the Exp patch. If it does not work, I'll try to apply it for the next update.

Because you have the wrong ROM. You need to have ROM that already has the EXP issue fixed.

Ok, I am posting to say that soon there will be a new update! It will go up to the Driftveil Gym, meaning you can do everything up to the entrance of Chargestone Cave, and a few more things have been edited as well, for example, the first leaders won't use the monkeys (I don't like them, sorry for those who do), but a different not fully evolved Pokémon. I have to edit a few things, and when I have them, I'll post the new version here. Sorry if this is running slowly, as I am writing the moveset edits I'd like to implement in the game in a text document, and after I have them, I'll put them in the game, but 649 Pokémon means that is slow (now I am in Clefairy's line: #35...)

Also, If someone tries or has tried the game, please, tell me if the levels are right or not, or if it is too easy or too difficult in some parts. I need information, as it is my very first hack, and I don't know if I am doing things properly...

There is something else. When I finish this, I plan to release a White version of the hack. It will have different starters (Cyndaquil, Mudkip, and Turtwig), and a few changes.

[Mochorro]

Ok, double posting to say that a new update is available in the main post. There's good news, the beta doesn't finish after you beat Clay, now you can fully explore Chargestone Cave, meaning that the Beta ends after you beat N in it.

Hey there! The hack looks quite attractive! It's a great pleasure to see a hack with these type changes, ability changes, move changes, etc.
A request - why don't you edit splash and make it a nightmare for opponents and take all players by surprise on seeing its power!
Azurill family, Castform and other single family pokemon, *JOHTO POKEMON* - I advise you to heavily edit them. All those early encounters need power. And Steel and Dark types need more attacks. Maybe make leer useless for them? idk.
Sorry, but Banette being normal type doesn't sound good, however useful it might be. I only mean cosmetically, so if you change Banette's color...
Otherwise, I am looking forward to the hack. And a brother and sister making the hack together? Believe me, it will be a huge success.

PS. I'm telling this without playing it actually. I badly want to try it and post again critically praising the hack.
And sorry - when I start typing, I go on forever. So sorry...
