    Last one looks good. I think I'd prefer if the HP and the bar itself was connected though, but maybe that's just me. Overall I prefer the notches being there (not the Platinum version) but I don't feel strongly towards it. Either way, it's up to you, either look is fine!

    For the record I don't actually like platinum's HP bar, I just remarked that BW wasn't the only games with these notches. :p

    Final battle interface update:

    Pokémon Polished Crystal (update 2.2.0)


    I could shift the exp bar one tile left, or the HP bar and amount one tile right, but that's nitpicking, and I can always change it later anyway. Now to continue with mapping and scripting.

    I'm gonna sound bitchy real quick;

    OMG please move the hp bar 'n stuff one tile to the right. I'm dying inside. OCD overload

    Edit:

    Not bad. I'll add it if there's space. Edit: There is.

    snip

    I, uh, noticed Nuzlocke Mode is missing... that was one of my favorite features of the ROM. Was there not enough space, or is it "to-be-reimplemented?"

    I'll likely do that, I'm clearly kind of OCD about this too, but it's low-priority because it can easily be done in an update.

    It's in the initial options:

    They're not meant to be changed after you begin the game, but there's a "cheat code" to do so just like to reset the clock. (Down+B at the title screen resets the clock, Left+B resets the initial options, Select+Up+B clears save data.)

    Btw, catching the pokemon worked, it was because thief was killing the Bellsprout that it wasn't stealing their held item.

  • Another idea: You could make the rival's pokemon in the battle at Indigo Plateau gain 10 levels after beating the Elite four 10 times, 10 more after beating them 20 times, and so on, like in Pokémon Platinum. And maybe make them harder by making their pokémon have competitive movesets, abilities, natures and items.

    Edit: Now that I think about it, the same could happen with every other rematch available post-game.

    Quick question: is this a recognizable symbolic carpet pattern?

  • Quick question: is this a recognizable symbolic carpet pattern?

    It looks good. The colors will make it look a bit like water but the pattern is different so I think it's recognizable.

    And since you've added other trainer classes to the game, will they eventually get their encounter themes too?

    I mean, is the symbol recognizable at this size?

    And since you've added other trainer classes to the game, will they eventually get their encounter themes too?

    Maybe, if someone like Mmmmmm or FroggestSpirit demixes them. It's not a priority.

  • Hi Rangi, for 3.0 will you add certain areas with predetermined weather conditions (like in 3rd Gen)? Perhaps it's a good idea to add Sun and Rain to routes just certains days of week (also based in the time of day), and Sand and Snow just in places like Route 45 and Mt. Silver...and basically mountain areas in general...by the way, awesome work with all updates in game! {:3}

    I've wanted to add weather before, but it doesn't seem possible with GSC's engine. At best I could use different music and tiles, but what I liked about rain in RSE was the dynamic effects, moving raindrops and lightning flashes.

    Yes, I believe that the symbol is recognizable at this size.

    Thanks, in that case it's the new imported Kalosian carpet:

    Pokémon Polished Crystal (update 2.2.0)


    Also, important trainers (Gym Leaders and Elites so far) have dialog when they're down to their last Pok?mon:

    Pokémon Polished Crystal (update 2.2.0)


    (While testing this, I burned my rival's Chikorita and thought it was a glitch. Turns out I got a Flame Body Cyndaquil. :) Thank you FIQ.)

    Edit: I just went ahead and replaced Vital Throw with Aura Sphere. I know I said earlier that too few Pok?mon learn it, but only Machop/choke/champ and Pinsir learned Vital Throw; they're both powerful never-miss Fighting attacks, except Aura Sphere is a rare Special one, and I want Mewtwo and Mew to have that option instead of Focus Blast. Anyway, I've given it to a few Pok?mon besides them and Togekiss.

  • When is the next update coming?

    Y'all are gonna have to quit asking. He's said before; Soon?. He doesn't have a set release date.

    Keep in mind, they do this stuff on their own free time, and lots of us have jobs and lives we live with as well. Sometimes delays are an actual thing.

    It'll go faster with help. Not being sarcastic. If you know how to submit a pull request on GitHub, I'd welcome some animations for the new moves. It's been on my to-do list forever, but other things keep intervening.
