I don't think late gym leaders end game with pokemons level 70 to 80s and Elite 4+Champ all at LV100 is a good idea though. The point is to have fun, no to waste several ridiculous hundreds hours in lv grinding...
But the point of his hack is exactly that you can't just level-grind to one-shot or two-shot Gym Leaders and the Elite four and the Champ. It is also not made so that you farm the pokemon league. This is a stray from the usual pokemon games and clearly made so that it's different. It's not called absurdly hard for nothing. If I had intended to create yet another funny but easy hack, I would've done a ruby or firered hack.
Well we saw Bloody Diamond. As this hack implies you too used Wild Pokémon Editor DS (WPEDS) ... Good...
And you, sir, edit the pokemon per hand? Sorry if this may sound arogant, but why not use tools we have at hand? Did I claim any special credit for editing the wild pokemon? I don't think so. I just saw that a catch all was popular so I did it to spice things up.
Except the idea of palette swaped legendaries . What's the point in changing them into shiny palette ? If they aren't ones. Let them the color they used to be in.
There is no, known to me, stat difference between shiny and usual ones. Most people won't bother waiting for a legendary, since they're really rare. This way, they at least get to see them in a different color. Also, if I may remind you, there is a limit to everything. Making custom palettes and colors would be something that clearly exceeds the limit of work to usefulness. That are details one can put into it when they are done with everything else.
Can you be more precise please? I don't have a Charizard learning Hydro Beam at LV 75 for exemple.
The movesets are not unreasonable like that. Giving detailed information on every changed move-set would fill pages. Do you want to read through pages of
"Changed: Charizard, level 38 Flamethrower -> Level 50 Overheat" ?
I personally wouldn't, and I don't think many people would. I did pay attention what I changed around.
Well I highly dislike the new male hero. Is there any new palette for male rival? or only female rival?
Well, I planned to make eventual versions with original sprites, partly changed sprites and completely changed sprites, so that problem would be fixed in feature. Also, the rival in the original game was purely male, all the time, in every game, and I was sick of it, so I made the rival female. As soon as we can edit text more freely, I will change the dialogues accordingly.
Again, with some bit of patience you will get to it. If you add 20 to 40 LV to trainers you need to adjust their pokemons movesets . Just need patience using Project Pokemon's Trainer Editor... I've done my own diamond rom with bloody diamond wild encounters/leaders/elite 4 and adjusted trainers pokemons at my taste... Everybody can do it.
That was on my to-do list when I lost patience. I'm not used to doing much detail work like that, so I put a imcomplete version up. There are versions and patches for games for a reason, I daresay. Also, even if everyone can do it, there is still effort involved, and I think it is rude to stomp on that effort by saying that everybody can do it like it doesn't account for anything.
Well I just looked at the data in the patched rom and noticed that the levels are insanely absurdly high pitched and didn't try to play it. Completely useless IMO. You should adjust the levels, let gym leaders at max LV 60-70 and elite 4 at lv 70-85 ... If you just adjust wild pokemons at levels progressively say, first routes at lv 5-9-11-14-18... and first trainers lv 11-13-15.. just more progressive.
The levels are that high for a reason. I explained in the first couple of lines why, and I won't lower it. It's a very hard mode patch, not a "enjoy a different region with lots and lots of weak trainers and stuff." patch, like many other hacks are. I think you came looking for the wrong thing here.
If you could change champ sprite into say an ash ketshup trainer ala Red of pokemon gold,silver,crystal... or something new.
Right now I can say I'm limited to already existing sprites from Platinum and Diamond/Pearl. Importing older sprites or making completley new ones is hard for someone that never worked in spriting before, and I probably won't get into it. I suck really badly at art, which is probably the reason you dislike the overworld sprites.
