This is so far what I have fixed/changed for the next update:
- The Pansear line now learns Flamethrower at Lv. 34 and Fire Blast at Lv. 50.
- The Champion now has a Whimsicott instead of a Ferrothorn if you choose Tepig as your starter.
- Genesect can now learn TMs.
- The Flash Cannon move tutor now teaches Flash Cannon like it is supposed to.
- Added more Audino to routes 14 and 21. They will be the best Audino grinding places in the next version.
I'll upload the next version the next time I post. There's a few things I want to add first of all.
I'm glad it helped!! I'm taking a break now and I'm kind of slow with playing, but if I run into anything else, I'll let you know. I already updated the game, so I'll be keeping an eye out when I play!
So far, the hack has been really enjoyable, and the difficulty has been wonderful in my opinion - I haven't been forced to grind for hours before facing an important battle, as some other hacks have made me do, but I can see how the difficulty is growing and how it'll be harder soon, and all of it is really enjoyable. You've done a great job!
Thank you! A little bit of grinding might be entailed mid-game and for the Elite Four challenge, but I did make sure the player had plenty of options to optimize their team.
More thoughts (got past Victory Road):
From hitting Cycling Road after Pokemon Tower up until beating Silph Co, the level curve seemed to move a bit faster than I did. I finished Pokemon Tower with levels around 36 to 38, but the bikers in Cycling Road had 38s to 40s. I used the VS Seeker a lot to try to catch up around that time.
The Lucky Egg is very useful, by the way. I feel caught up now! :)
Simisear gets Fire Blast at level 34. While its accuracy still isn't that great, its still better than stuff like Hydro Pump and Thunder, and 110 power STAB attack doesn't suck. It probably should be changed to another fire move that doesn't destroy stuff as much, but I abused Fire Blast... ehhhh.
The Flash Cannon tutor teaches Fire Punch instead. That's odd.
The Audino grind spot below Pallet Town is a bit below level, because it's only accessible when the party is around late 40s, but Audinos are only in the 30s. I would make it a bit earlier; maybe there could be an NPC blocking the way that would disappear later on in the game.
Also, question: where's the Focus Blast TM? I have a Nasty Plot Simisear, and Focus Blast would be very useful. It doesn't get too much else on the special side.
That's all I have for now. I'm really enjoying this game, and I will be done with the E4 soon.
The levels rise a lot at that point because of the amount of trainers available on both paths to Fuchsia City. In my experiences, going through both paths brought my levels up to par with Koga. Silph Co. also has plentiful amounts of battles. The next version will have an Audino grinding spot on Route 14 in the event it becomes slightly difficult to catch up at that point. :)
Simisear now learns Flamethrower at level 34 and Fire Blast at level 50 (or somewhere around that).
The Flash Cannon tutor has been fixed!
Unfortunately, I removed the grinding spot in 0.92 to make place for some Pokemon that evolve late (despite them already having places somewhere else.) The Audino will be back, full time and at higher levels, in the next version.
The Focus Blast TM should be in the Seafoam Islands.
Thank you for the feedback! You've brought a lot of issues to my attention that I had completely overlooked, so that's greatly appreciated. :)
This hack looks good. i wanna try it but i don't like the force set battle style. can you at least make a separate patch with shift mode?
Eh... maybe. The prime reason it is like that is because of the post-game battle facilities. I did attempt to make some accommodations due to forcing Set mode. One of them is the early Exp. Share, since Set mode does make it slightly more difficult to train. I don't think I'll be doing this any time soon though. :(
Only Gen 5? 494-649? (prior national)
That is correct. ^^
I believe someone allready mentioned it mate, but there is a minor glitch on the right trainer on the Cycling road, just when u enter to it. The trainer has a Sandile then u end it it but the next pokemon appear in front of him, so u end up seeing two pokes one being a Sandile.
Is there any place with Audinos now? lol. i really loved the route to train all of my babies with Lucky egg.
Hm... that's odd. I think it might stem from a new move. What move did you use against Sandile? What move did Sandile use against you?
I'll add them back in the next version. :)
There's a spot south of Pallet Town with level 30-40 Audinos; s'been there since the first version.
I think I changed the grinding spot to a bunch of Vullaby and Rufflet in 0.92. I'll revert that to how it was initially for the Pokemon that evolve late.
