the route 218 ditto pokeradar encounter seems to not be working as well, but once again i could just have the worst luck

SpagoAsparago November 8th, 2022 10:15 AM

I've checked all the encounter files, only route 222 is to be the same as vanilla for some reason, all the others have the version exclusives added. However I will bump up Ditto encounter rate from 10% to 20% since it's still the only way to get it aside from daily trophy garden encounters

I LOVE this.
I was looking to revisit platinum but I wanted a little more. Not the whole renegade experience.
I wanted to be able to get all sinnoh pokemon and nothing else! (Getting johto pokemon outside of johto breaks immersion for me for example)
The events being restored, it being compatible with Following platinum, etc...
This really is for me the best experience.
I know people usually want more from a hack, but for me... This... this is the gold standard. THANK YOU.
If you EVER do the same for the other DS pokemon games, I'll give you my soul. I've searched everywhere for a hack that will allow me to catch all the pokemon from the game's respective regions (for HGSS the ones from Johto and Kanto (in Johto and Kanto respectively)) but no one has done anything like that.
Really, truly... Thank you.

New update 1.6 relased!
https://imgur.com/fWI77la
Changelog:
•The national dex can now be completed in its entirety. Check the Event and Pokemon location page for documentation on how to obtain all legendaries and mythicals.
•Fixed Prof. Rowan Lab event bug where you couldn't receive the other two Sinnoh Starters and cutscene glitch with Following pokemon
•Fixed the Route 222 encounter file and increased Ditto PokeRadar encounter rate from 10% to 20%
•Changed in game text about the reusability of TMs

Bladeheart111x November 30th, 2022 11:49 AM

I found a typo in the TM reusability dialogue when Rowan gives you Return
he forgets the R in reusable

Hello, sorry if my English is not very good, I am using a translator.
I have detected some problems where apparently when fighting with Kirlia in some double fights (specifically the Young Couple) the game freezes.
I don't know if it's an isolated case or a general problem.
There is also an unused stairwell on Route 215 (just off Veilstone City).

Yes there is a bug in Following Platinum that sometimes causes double battles to crash, it's not something I can fix unfortunately. At first I thought it was related to gift pokemon but seems way more inconsistent, I suggest saving before double battles and swapping the first and second pokemon in your party to see if it doesn't crash.

Having a bug where there is a Protector item in the Distortion World where the Griseous Orb is supposed to be.

SpagoAsparago December 7th, 2022 2:11 AM

Oof, I hope not all items are scrambled. Did any other item seem out of place?

SpagoAsparago December 8th, 2022 12:22 PM

Small update 1.6.1 released!
Changelog:
•Reusable repel has been implemented
•Fixed a ladder appearing out of nowhere in Route 215
•Fixed Navel Rock peak map not displaying textures correctly
•Fixed Turtwig's line gen 6 style icon sprite (thanks again to Dakress)
•Replaced the Stardust in Turnback Cave Giratina's room with Griseous Orb. This is a workaround because for some reason the one in the distortion world got swapped with a Protector, but at the same time the tool I use can't edit map files for the Distortion World.
•Fixed a typo in the added dialogue

I didn't notice anything for any other significant items throughout my playthrough. Also one other minor thing that I'm not sure is intentional is that when you get the other starters from Rowan's lab, you can interact with the briefcase repeatedly to get multiple Pokemon up to as many empty party slots you have, instead of just 1.

SpagoAsparago December 8th, 2022 2:05 PM

You mean you can get more than one of each starter you didn't pick? Then no, it's not intended

G_Reaper2000 December 8th, 2022 9:11 PM

Is it normal that the ROM is cut so much with the patches?
Can I continue in a game already started?

Stoltverd December 8th, 2022 11:14 PM

Can I apply an update to an already patched ROM? Or should I apply the patches again?
What to do with the saved games? :O

You need to apply the patch to a clean Pokemon Platinum ROM. As for the save, you should be able to use the same save file, as long as you've saved in-game.

This is not true, it has to be patched on a Following Platinum ROM. You are correct about saves.

G_Reaper2000 December 9th, 2022 7:30 AM

The game freezes when starting a fight or leaving a city or using Fly.
Will it be the online patcher?
In fact the game went from 128 MB to only 80 MB at the time of patching it.

SpagoAsparago December 9th, 2022 9:59 AM

You are right, for some reason xdelta cut the patch file size which resulted in a wrong ROM size, no idea how this happened but should be fixed with the version I've just uploaded

Trexador96 December 10th, 2022 4:54 PM

Ok I don't know if I'm just having really bad luck but I think the GBA Pokemon spawns aren't working.
Update: I picked the Fire Red encounters and got Pineco to appear in route 229 which is supposed to be an Emerald encounter.
Update 2: I picked Leaf Green encounters and got Fire Red encounters.
Update 3: So it seems picking Sapphire encounters gives you nothing and picking Ruby encounters gives you Sapphire ones. Leaf Green encounters are unobtainable.

SpagoAsparago December 11th, 2022 12:27 PM

Yep there was an issue with order of the script, now it should be fixed in the new 1.6.2 update
Changelog:
•All added myhtical and legendary wild encounters will play the default Platinum legendary theme
•Fixed scripting issue with the dual slot cartridge NPC
•Fixed possible scripting issue that may freeze the game when losing against some of the added legendary encounters.

Trexador96 December 15th, 2022 3:22 PM

I cant find a new room in the Galactic Lab after catching Heatran, is it in the Galactic HQ?

G_Reaper2000 December 16th, 2022 2:29 PM

It would be a great addition to be able to get some Battle Frontier TM's in the adventure like Thunder Wave, Calm Mind or Bulk Up or at least reduce their price (Like White 2/Black 2).

SpagoAsparago December 17th, 2022 4:31 AM

I uploaded a small update, there was a bug where the Mewtwo room was inaccessible even after completing the Stark Mountain storyline but now it should be fixed.

I don't plan on making items normally accessible post game available before beating the champion but I can look into lowering the price.

Are the dual-slot encounters available? I already got the national dex.

Pokemen_7 January 26th, 2023 1:46 AM

Nice
