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.

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.

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

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

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.
Do you like Pokemon battles? If yes, then come play The Great Pokemon Battle 13!

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

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.

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.

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.

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