Hello! Thank you for incorporating Following Plat into this.

I ran into a bug, however, where fighting on a double battle crashes the game every time without fail.
Is this a common thing or did I do something wrong in the process? I used the 3541 rom and the non-fairy patch.

I know Following Plat had this bug at some point but then fixed it, so I wonder if it came back after they made the separate non-fairy type patch?

Anyway I'd appreciate any word on the subject. Thank you!

EDIT: I have since then tested the battle multiple times with different options and different settings and even by changing party members around and figured out that double battles only crash when my starter, Piplup, is on the frst slot.
it is the weirdest thing and super specific. Piplup on the 2nd slot has no issues. Any other mon on the 1st or 2nd slot has no issues. But Piplup on the 1st slot, specifically, crashes double battles.
I'm going to try and evolve him on the grass (he's lv15) and see if Prinplup also crashes the game.

That's a really weird bug, thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it and see if I can reach out to the Following Platinum developer for more information.

I've decided to back up my save because while I was extremely curious about how specific this bug was, I'm just glad I can keep playing through the game. I've attached it to this post in case you or anyone else wants to try and reproduce it. I'm right next to the Twins battle where the problem first occured.

Some more information: I play on a 3DS using TwilightMenu++. Regular DS mode, switching to DSi did nothing.
Still haven't tried evolving piplup and see if prinplup does the same, but I might do that today.

Thank you for the attention!

It seems to be a Following Platinum issue, I tested it on a regular FP ROM on emulator and still got the same crash when using Piplup as the 1st pokemon.

Also! I evolved Piplup last night, and Prinplup has no issues whatsoever on the 1st slot! So I guess Piplup is truly a cursed pokemon for some reason.
Good to know tho! And thanks for looking into it.

Hello ! Sorry for bothering again and double-posting, but figured i'd warn: the FP patch seems to have broken trade-evolutions as well. At least those that require items.

I've tried levelling up both an Onix with a metal coat equipped and a Porygon with Up-grade and neither evolved. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but that's what the randomizer page says I should be doing at least.
Unsure if this affects item-less evolutions as well, but I'm training a Graveler too so I will know in due time.

Also, found another pokemon that breaks double battles! Togepi on 1st slot also does the same crash as Piplup.

Just throwing it out there

EDIT: Oh, also, the fossil trading NPC does not work! He doesn't respond to input, pressing 'A' on his spot doesn't seem to do anything.

You're not bothering at all, thanks again for reporting the bugs you found!

Hey! This hack seems amazing, I just wanted to ask, how many Pokémon are available in this hack? Is it possible to complete the national dex? Or just the regional dex with some extras?

At the moment every pokemon is available except for 13 legendaries/mythicals from gens 1-3

Kenvelsey October 23rd, 2022 7:08 AM

Yayyy!!! Thanks for the updates :3

Bladeheart111x October 24th, 2022 2:43 PM

What are the unavailable legendaries? I'm guessing the legendaries that aren't in vanilla platinum but are in this hack are the Latis

All the ones from gen 1-3 except the legendary birds and the legendary titans

Bladeheart111x October 25th, 2022 5:16 AM

that makes 15 unavailable legends tho

SpagoAsparago October 25th, 2022 7:26 AM

Oh you're right, I forgot to count Latios and Latias

Dakress October 26th, 2022 11:00 AM

Awesome update man. I think switching to using Following Platinum as the go-to base is the right call given how popular that mod is already.

SpagoAsparago October 27th, 2022 11:20 AM

Frankollini October 27th, 2022 11:58 AM

Oh shit! I just coincidentally came to this thread today to read an old post and was very happy to find not one but * two * updates.
Highly appreciate the fixes to trade evolutions and the gen 6 icons are a very welcome visual addition.

This is great, thank you!

EDIT: Huh, for some reason I am not able to patch the rom. I get the following error:

- An error has occurred: xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT

I have tried with both a Following Plat freshly patched rom and a vanilla one, but I get the same error for both.

SpagoAsparago October 28th, 2022 9:30 AM

Should be fixed now

Frankollini October 28th, 2022 1:23 PM

Can confirm. Thank you very much!

I absolutely love this hack so far! It has almost all I ever wanted in Platinum :D

One thing I'm wondering: Since the fps unlock menu option replaces the button configuration one, now it's stuck on L=A, making L and R nonfunctional inside the PC. Is there any way to change that back? I tried loading the save with a vanilla platinum rom to see if I could change that, but it wouldn't load.

On another note, are texts that don't fit the changed mechanics in the scope of this project? Like Professor Rowan warning me that I can only use a TM once when he gives me Return.

I can try look into it but unfortunately that seems something beyond my skill level. I never thought about those dialogues, can be misleading, I'll change them in the next update.

this is really good also two things
1. i have an idea for a legendary location if your seeking ideas on the last couple missing ones, mew appears on fullmoon island after catching cresselia and receiving the members card
2. either i have the worst luck, or glameow & purugly dont appear on route 222, its not a big deal since they do appear in their other locations, but i just wanted to point it out
edit: one extra thing, if you could figure out how to remove the game punishing you for time travelling that would be good
another edit: it seems you cant descend waterfalls apparently unless you bite the bullet and teach a pokemon waterfall

noopynoop November 5th, 2022 8:46 PM

also the sinnoh starters stuff seems to be messed up, professor rowan walks through your following pokemon to talk to you about it, and for some reason i could only get piplup before it told me that "The suitcase is empty"
it works fine if you know in advance to only interact with it with 2 open slots, but if you interact with it with no open slots then your stuck only being able to get piplup

noopynoop November 6th, 2022 9:24 AM

sorry for so many comments but it seems that the shaymin event is bugged too, theres just no shaymin at flower paradise, leaving and reentering and resetting doesnt seem to fix it either

SpagoAsparago November 6th, 2022 12:25 PM

Thanks for reporting the issue, I'll look into fixing that for the next update.
What do you mean the game punishing you for time travelling? Like when changing the clock that all time based events in game won't change for 24 hours as well or something like that? It sounds like not really possible without a major code rewrite

noopynoop November 6th, 2022 12:33 PM

yeah thats what i meant, its fine if you cant do it
