Well...just my luck. The RGBGFX tool that auto-converts png files to the gameboy's native format can't understand the string symbols.

Okay, easy fix.

I pushed another update to github. All I did was revert the regular and modified main.asm files to use the normal filepaths rather than string symbols for front pics. This makes it so the gfx converter actually does its job.

You still have to go in and do a replace-all in the monfrontpic_constants.asm file, but that is a lot easier than trying to edit all 151 baseStats files one by one. This will take care of pokemon headers having the correct pic sizes.

I decided to just use bmon front sprites with the space world back sprites because they go together really well. I also made a few edits to some back sprites so they match better. Thanks.

Good idea, to pair the Blue fronts and Spaceworld backs. They're clearly designed for each other.

For Koffing, if you want it to stay on-model with the skull under the face, you could shift the mouth and eyes to match how its body is curved:

Thanks, that's much better. I got a little rushed with Koffing.

Yea, it's really interesting how a lot of the blue fronts match the spaceworld backs. Not all though. The spaceworld backs seem to pull from green, blue, and yellow. Ninetails matches the yellow front. Machamp doesn't match up with anything likely because it's intended front sprite was never completed

I tried to make Ninetails, Machamp and Metapod match their backs better.

I'm getting a very rare bug where the exp bar will go to full and act funky during battle. I'm having just the worst time trying to replicate it. If it happens to anyone else, please post here with details.

Have u guys discovered if its possible to use the backsprites from the beta game? i want use the front from original red and the back from beta game.

Yes.

I really want to play this hack. But i dont know how to use Red original sprites and beta bacmsprites. Plus 151 obtainable and infinite tms. Where can i find a tutorial?

Changing out the sprites will require that you edit the source files and recompile on your own.

Pret team's pokered project has instructions on how to setup and execute the compiler:
https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/master/INSTALL.md

For changes you need to make, view the instructions in this folder:
https://github.com/jojobear13/shinpokered/tree/master/how to change pkmn sprites

TMs are not infinite, but they are always purchasable. Check the mart inventories and prize corner in the /data folder.
https://github.com/jojobear13/shinpokered/blob/master/data/mart_inventories.asm
https://github.com/jojobear13/shinpokered/blob/master/data/prizes.asm

Wild pokemon locations match to their vanilla counterparts. The exceptions are listed on the github's main README under "#Added Encounter Locations for the following pokemon". You can also confirm each location by looking through the files in the data/wildPokemon folder.

EDIT: Please update your games from v1.12 to the latest v1.13 beta. I just implemented a band-aide that stops the game corner from crashing on entry.

V1.13 beta has been pushed to github and patches added to the ips_patches folder. If you run into a problem with the beta patch, your SAV file will be compatible with v1.12 and you can always swap back to that one.

Hack-Induced Bugfixes & Adjustments since v1.12:

• Switched around the shiny palettes in how they correspond to the usual pokemon palettes
• Random enemy team generator is more forgiving with level scaling for regular trainers: increases 0-1 levels per mon instead of 0-3
• Route 12 fisher given some magikarp to match his trainer text
• TMs and HMs now use a separate string list to determine their item names, so function GetMachineName has been removed
• Tm & HM name list takes the #3 list table spot and replaces the Unused Names list

New features & adjustments since v1.12:

• If playing on super gameboy, hold select when loading a pokedex entry to see that pokemon's shiny palette
• DVs of trainer pokemon are set back to vanilla default levels if using the "shift" battle style
• TMs and HMs now have their attacks (albeit abbreviated) appended to the item names

I have done only minimal testing on the TM/HM item names. Need to go full Bugcatcher on this one.

hi i have finished the game V1.12 in red and blue and i have noticed that:
1- after elite 4 the game broken when i go in the game corner pokemon

Porygon not being wild in Blue is intentional. It costs much less in the game corner, as opposed to Red where it is 9999 coins.

Post a reply with your SAV file attached, and I'll see what things look like.

The V1.13 beta has been re-uploaded. It now contains a major hotfix for v1.12 that keeps the game corner from crashing. Please apply the patch to a fresh rom.

View attachment Pokemon - Blue Version (USA, Europe) (SGB Enhanced).sav you can see the bug at the game corner and in box 5 for pokemon

Okay, so I'm looking at the hex values of your save file. Good news is that the game corner crash is fixed with the re-upload of v1.13 that I just did.

Pikasav is showing a lv67 Clefairy, a lvl 55 Dragonite, and lvl 63 Gloom as the glitched pokemon in box 5. So that data seems to be intact. I'll have to research more.

Edit: The pokemon in box 5 have corrupted nicknames. They can be safely withdrawn, and then use the name rater in Lavender Town to rename them.

Edit 2: Catching pokemon with your stock of master balls is not creating any glitched nicknames. HM 5 is also looking okay. I can't verify these two problems on a freshly patched rom.

thank you for the feedback
i can help you with some more information generaly the problem with glitched pokemon happens when i catch wild pokemon with rod
PS: in the beginning i did not have the corrupted name for the 3 pokemon but when i catched lapras with super rod in safari zone they become corrupted and i catched goldeen but i found it corrupted
