Complete Changelog:

Spoiler:

IMPROVEMENTS:

- TFJs overall text was trimmed by 10%. Sam's long-ass monologues compactized, cutscenes much less tiring
- Vast improvements in grammar
- Consistent AI from DemICE; now the AI will function better
- Optimized events in outdoor maps to reduce lag
- All IVs are maxed out for all mons, and EVs are ignored; no need to grind for anything
- Automatic save backups
- Rebalanced vendors
- Increased light radius in dark places
- Improved map composition, added more details
- Finally managed to restore sprite animation of Agatha resting on Sam's shoulders in Cinnabar
- Rebalanced Trainer teams
- Introduced more save points
- Added more respawn points
- EXP.SHARE ALL is now given much earlier to the player (before you get your first Silph Missions)
- Another batch of 25 rare candies is handed out before the rematches with the future Gym Leaders, for faster team balance
- Reaching the small Shack in the very last route of RJW, now means having access to an infinite amount of Balance Candies. This will make adding, swapping, and raising lower-levelled team members, a breeze. Thus, grinding is now completely unnecessary for RJW.
- Same goes for an NPC in Battle Tower. The re-fightable Trainer there provides an option for the 1% of players who like grinding instead of convenience.
- PC Boxes limit raised to 20, since it was more of an inconvenience for the second part. Graphics updated for Red's PC
- You will now be able to access Autoheal from the Menu in RJW
- Graphics now accompany certain events, like the Eizo's friend photo, and Sam's family photo
- Miror B hardest dancing difficulty will now reward you with a special OP Ludicolo
- Bag graphics will now reflect Red's part
- Ticket saleswoman event will automatically activate upon entering the Marina after defeating Jasmine
- Reduced required milking
- Butt-stuck man now appears before having the need to search for him
- Made the pipe minigame a bit easier on the eyes
- All marts will be functional, but will only sell Pokeballs, once you've reached RJW lategame
- Farfechter slightly nerfed

ADDITIONS:

- A new island town, Alyssum Island, based on the cut island town from Gen 1 alpha
- A redesigned Diglett's cave, according to potential original intentions, as well as the inclusion of the lost
beta Diglet Cave theme
- A new prologue to break up the monotony and lack of early lore contextualization
- Added various mini-events to enrich the lore without textual information (visual storytelling). Textual feedback
for players who don't prefer that is still prominent, however
- Added the encounter list UI for both TFJ and RJW. You can now see all available pokemon in every route, no need to encounter them first.
- Added a Kanto Map since many people have forgotten route and town locations
- After witnessing the events in Pallet and Route 23, the Route 2 Viridian Forest Shortcut will be immediately unlocked, and John will be waiting to battle you outside the passage, instead of in the Forest. This shortcut will enable you to skip backtracking through Viridian Forest from that point onwards
- Extra lore events
- Added "Balance Candy" a candy that automatically raises the level of a Pokemon to the highest level of another Pokemon in your Party. So, if you have a 100lvl mon in your party, and wanted to raise that amazing Magikarp you just caught, without battling, simply give it the Balance candy and it's gonna get to vlv 100 immediately.
- The Pokemon switch option for RJW will always be "SET".
- Added a new area, "Tohjo Fields", a strip of land where the train tracks connecting Johto to Kanto have been laid. Accessible via Route 22. The tracks are now visible in various Routes
- A new reward in RJW, unlocked if the player did a certain something before the prologue Lugia attack
- Shuckle now got the form it always deserved (ground-rock, like it was intended, hugely OP, like it wasnt intended)

BUGFIXES:

- Title screen will now adjust to TFJ or RJW even if you have finished the former
- Fixed cherry blossom petal fog cutscene animation not working properly on MKXP
- Tile fixes
- Lighthouse Pikachu battle wont start automatically, giving the player the chance to prepare
- Fixed Red's Future portrait
- Player won't be able to talk to Morty from the sides now
- Pryce will wait for you to prepare before initiating a double battle
- You wont be able to ride the Radio Tower elevator until you've read your archives, now
- Fixed north rock black borders
- Used a different method to handing out Chikorita, hopefully that fixes the transfer of Chiko movesets to another mon
- Removed Ancient Gyarados' rogue pixel
- Removed Border, it was incompatible with MKXP
- Party will be healed before being transferred to endgame island
- Fixed game potentially crashing if you lost to the event wild Arcanine
- Fixed Mega Venusaur not existing

I would like to thank everyone for their contributions, assets, and testing. I hope you have a great time!

up to what gen does the game have?

up to what gen does the game have?

Ah, I believe someone answered you on the discord, but I will leave it here for convenience: It's Gen 1, Gen2, and their subsequent evolutions (up to gen 9), including mons from later gens that would have originally been included in the Beta Johto dex.

 

[Brendanpal]

Which gen moveset all the Pokemon have in this game?

 

[AenaonDusky]

Which gen moveset all the Pokemon have in this game?

Should be around gen6, with some elements from 7.

Is nature is taken into consideration during battle too?

Is nature is taken into consideration during battle too?

Natures are almost unnecessary in the first part, which is rather easy. In the second part, nature advantage is not something that will give you significant edge.

In both parts, all event mons have fixed beneficial natures.

Well, after nearly two years of playing the initial release, I finally got around to playing 10.1 and my lord am I impressed! TFJ has been in my top 5 favorite fangames of all time, and I genuinely thought it could not get any better than what I played back then! I love how Kurt and Fuji are actually given a little backstory via flashbacks in Oak's childhood as compared to the previous releases where they were mere hinted at it as rival scientists that could possibly affect Oak's plan at setting up a league. I'm currently at Cerulean city. Cheers to you and your team for giving us all a quality game to play!

 

[Inner Rhymes]

Sorry for the double post, but I came across this oddity. I am assuming he's supposed to run off, but e's still there when I back tracked. https://ibb.co/m8kY9gL

EDIT: I have gathered all the gym leaders into Silph co, may I know where John and the gang are so I can test them? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your kind words, sorry I couldn't reply earlier

Yeah, this is a weird persistent bug that I will attempt to re-fix in the next version.
Everyone should be in their respective Gyms (Viridian, Pewter and Vermillion), but I assume you will also have to complete other Missions around the same time as a prerequisite (if you cant find them in their gyms)

 

[cabbage14]

Thoroughly enjoying this!

 

[Inner Rhymes]

Hey, so I came across a bug in the post game. i am speaking of the part where you play as Giovanni. If you enter the Pokémon mansion and try to exit, the game gets stuck in a loop where you cannot move.

Edit: Please tell me that there are other ways to defeat chuck and not just relying on a Shuckle xD

 

[Inner Rhymes]

Sorry for double posting, but I have reached the part in Red's journey where I am dealing with the pipe puzzle in Slowpoke's well, and I am having a hard time solving it. Can someone please guide me? Thank you!

EDIT: SOLVED

 

[MajinJuunior]

So I kind of softlocked myself at the beginning of Red's Journey West by catching a Magnemite with the one ultra ball given to me. Is there a way to get another ball without having that and Shuckle up to insane levels to progress past Jasmine?

 

[Inner Rhymes]

So, I finally finished this game and I must say, it was an absolute treat. Personally, I loved the Oak arc the most, and with the slew of updates it has undergone in the last two years, it truly was worth revisiting. I did enjoy Red's journey West for a variety of reasons as well which I shall get to. My only gripe with RJW was the humor in certain segments that kind of threw me out of the immersion such as the fart jokes, it was hilarious the first time but after a point it did get a bit annoying, not to mention some of the mini games being a mash-athon of buttons. That aside, the writing as well as the re-introduction of older characters was wonderfully done! Especially Green's bond with Red developing as more than a snobby rival that we were introduced to in the canon games. I am so pumped to play the sequel and the prequel as well of the post scriptum series! Hats off to you and your team!
