Emerald hack: Pokémon Revelation v231014: A Vanilla Improvement Hack for Hoenn

[RichterSnipes]

Pokémon Revelation v231007 Update Is Here!

As I expected with the last big update, there were some regressions. This update primarily serves to fix those issues. If you ran into issues with magically-appearing Pink Ribbons and palette chaos at Sootopolis, this should fix them.

There's a couple of new features, too! Changes for this version are included in both the spoiler below and in the "Changelog.txt" file included with the download. Enjoy!

Spoiler:

• The Macho Brace now functions like the Destiny Knot in later games when held while breeding. 5 IVs from the parents will be inherited instead of 3.
• e-Reader support for English-language e-Reader Berry cards. Official Berries are fully supported, while fully-custom Berries won't transfer sprite/description data to the game and will use the Enigma Berry's data instead.
• Prevent player from enabling Mystery Events until obtaining the Balance Badge.
• Automatically fix casing for all e-Reader names.
• Collision added to chairs in e-Reader Trainer house in Sootopolis City.
• Prevent player from being able to nickname gift Celebi and Jirachi in order to keep them (semi) legal. Their names are also forced uppercase in the decap version of the hack.
• Fix player sometimes having a Pink Scarf added to their bag. Players previously affected by this harmless glitch will still have the free Pink Scarf.
• Fix palette glitch caused by the Sootopolis legendaries cutscene. This was caused by a fix added to remedy a different cosmetic bug. It only occurred during a single frame, so reverting it is for the best.

Throwback was great, and this looks like it must be as well. Thanks.

One feature request- is it possible to make the Gym Rematch triggers easier? In vanilla, you need on average 1500 wild battles or 500 trainer/battle frontier battles to trigger just the first round of 8 matches.

Perhaps this is commonly hit for those who do and train teams for the battle frontier? But if you just want to do some events and rematches this is an enormous grind, and currently the E4 rematch is locked to this.

Really all the Gym rematches could use reworks -the first teams are all inadequate for anyone whos run the E4, and for the early gym leaders all their teams are kind of sad- but I am aware thats generally not within the goals of your project.

Edit: It appears that on route 114 Zangoose is the 1% encounter and Lombre is the daytime encounter? Possibly this is local though.

I certainly could adjust Gym Leader rematch chances. I hadn't thought about that before, so I'll add it to my to-do list. Like you said, though, the rematch lineups likely won't change.

Zangoose at 1% is the nighttime encounter. It's 19% during the day. Lombre is a 10% encounter during the day only. Seviper and Nuzleaf are the opposite time-of-day encounters for those two, respectively.
