Platinum hack: PlatinumQoL - Now compatible with Following Platinum

[xXx~KLEOtehVAMPYR~xXx]

Haiii are any of these features toggleable? There's a lot here that I like but also a lot I don't like - I'm looking for an almost entirely vanilla gen 4 experience, just with stuff like less annoying HM restrictions and faster HP bar drain, but would like to keep the aesthetics and encounters and pokedex all the same

I know not everyone wants the shiny odds adjusted, but could there be a separate patch or option added?

Hi! I know this is a bit of stretch considering you don't work on this anymore but I was wondering if you know where I could find or even how I could make an experience multiplier for this? The original doesn't work anymore and I would like to use one? Thanks

I've released a new patch fixing the double battle crash, huge thanks to Mikelan for this.
There is now a FAQ section that hopefully covers any doubts.

Can this be randomized, or would it need a new randomizer tool?

WOOOO! YEAH BABY! That's what I've been waiting for, that's what it's all about WOO!
memes aside, this update is pretty epic

Sorry for my ignorance, when you say "Reusable Repel System similar to Glazed" what do you mean by that? I found the wiki for Pokemon Glazed mod and all that says regarding repel is "BW Repel system added" but I don't know what that means. I assumed it meant that it works the same way as it does in Black and White where repel: "applies to wild Pokémon with a lower level than the first non-fainted member of the party." However, it seems like it just works regardless of the lead Pokemon's level. I'm doing a Nuzlocke and I am trying to manipulate the encounters, I have a level 6 Shinx but repel blocks all Pokemon except for only the Pokemon of a lower level... again sorry if I'm not understanding something...

It's just a minor difference, glazed has a popup menu which lets you choose the repel type, unlike the official games where only the repel type that you previously used can be triggered again. The mechanics for repel manips are unchanged. I should probably change the wording to avoid misunderstandings.

I made an account here just to ask this question, (Maybe I'm just dumb and I'm sorry if that's the case) but after you catch Rotom, how do you get the secret key? It didn't immediately show up in my inventory and I'm not sure how else to get it? Again if
I'm just dumb I apologize, but thought I would ask because the wording of how to get it in the "Encounter changes and new locations" section doesn't really explain how to get it.

Thanks for the clarification, I guess I just didn't encounter a Pokemon during the repel. The only thing I can think of to improve the game would be the ability to use an item on a Pokemon in your party more than once before it takes you back to your bag, I think that's how it works in Black and White. Thanks for all the work you have done, it really has brought back some good memories playing it, I am at the Elite Four with 2 deaths in my Nuzlocke.

This is my first time posting here hi! I didn't see it in your original post and I don't know where to get documentation data for this, but by chance, were there changes made to mons you can only find on certain days (asking this mainly about Drifloon only being available to catch on fridays)

 

[NoMoreStars]

Cool hack thus far REALLY great idea of putting the fps unlock as a toggleable menu feature, I would also really enjoy documentation as well for wild encounters as they aren't shown in the Pokedex for seen pokemon like Glameow and Stunky (which I know that's mentioned in the first post but the national dex mons will be much more difficult to find). Also are the Amity Square Pokemon items broken? According to Bulbapedia you're supposed to recieve items from your pokemon every 200 or so steps and I can go 1000+ steps without recieving any items.

Hi, first time poster on this website, I got a weird issue. So everything else in the patch has been working thus far, caught and am using stuntank, the honey trees are working as intended, following is fine. However, trade evolutions aren't working. I'm bringing graveler up from 38 to like 43 via rare candies, battling, and they're not evolving. Tried the same with scizor via leveling up scyther with metal coat and nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

[nemesish]

Any chance of something like this patch for HGSS or does anybody know about a hack that implements features like this hack's ones on HGSS (without the Uber difficulty)?

hey! love this hack, I've been playing it on and off to keep me going before grad since about December. I do have one small question though, how does the dual slot functionality work on here? you said every pokemon was catchable, so my question is does it still function like vanilla dual slot or is there an NPC I can go to to change the selected slot2 game? I'm playing this on a DSi, I just beat Cynthia and filled out regional dex, but MAN do I want a seedot, and that's only accessible via having Ruby inserted. thanks for your time!

 

[Macoflash]

Hey there, sorry for asking that but I have issues with the game it seems like most of the features except the following poké and the changed encounters are working. For example the honey trees don't work, the reusable TMs, HMs needs to be taught. I assume I did something wrong, if you guys have any hints as to what it is I'd be delighted :)

Edit : Found the issue, didn't click on the right link lmao sorry for bothering you, great hack btw !

 

[karu_vergon]

Hello! first of, i wanna say i love this hack. played it as my first time playing a sinnoh game and it was a great experience. ( ' v ' )b
second, does this hack support migrating pokemon from a completed and regular rom of emerald? i've followed all the steps to get the migrate option but at some point, especially when it comes to selecting pokemons, the game just freezes. so far, ive tried turning on frame cap again and not fast forwarding through the process but neither fixes anything.

Figured this out. It's undocumented so I'm not sure if this is part of Following Platinum or PlatQoL, but in the Fight Area next to the gates of the Battle Frontier, there is a female Scientist NPC that allows you to change your currently inserted Slot-2 game to any of the GBA Pokemon games. Hope other people find this useful!

what if i'm playing on a system with no Slot 2 slot (such as a modded 3DS or DSi)?

That's the purpose of the NPC. The whole point is so that people without access to their Slot-2 (such as DSi users like myself) can get these Pokemon, in addition to people who simply don't have the games to put into their Slot-2 if they wish.
