Adding new evolution methods [FR]

[mamamama]

A simple request:

I read earlier that this is supposed to be easy, but my ASM skills are none. Could someone create a routine that evolves a Pokemon holding an item at ANY level and ANY time of the day WITHOUT losing the item.

This routine has been created for night-time and day-time respectively, but I would like to have it regardless of time.

Example: Dusklops at ANY level at ANY time of the day --> You give him a hold item --> Dusklops evolves and you get to keep the item afterwards.

Thanks in advance.

Okay hello there Pokecommunity I'm trying to insert new evolutions for my base and I keep getting stuck at step 2

Spoiler:

bl decrypt

decrypt: push {r0-r7}
mov r1, #0x##
ldr r2, decryptpoke
bx r2

decryptpoke: .word 0x0803FBE9

Spoiler:

Check for appropriate level: levelcheckloc: .word 0x08043017
Go straight to the evolution (no levelcheck): evolutionloc: .word 0x0804310D

Once you are done assemble the .asm file and place it in your ROM somewhere. Now go to your table and add another entry pointing to the assembled code (you do NOT need +1). Now

So I have 3 questions

1. What do I put in for the "##"
2. Do I compile what's in the second spoiler and if yes what do I have to do to get it working is it just a simple paste write and nothing more or do I have to do more to it
3.so once I put the assembled routine in for the first spoiler do I have to go back to my reprinted evolution table and write the pointer down? And if so is it the first pointer or would that be somewhere else

Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions

So I looked at the Dawn Stone Routine, but I wasn't sure how to correctly use it;

Spoiler:

"Change the values in the lines marked UPDATE THIS to the indexes of male stone evos and female stone evos. Leave their entries blank in the general evolution table; stone evolutions function differently from level-up evolutions."

Does the "indexes" refer to the indexes of the Pokémon that evolve by Dawn Stone (Kirlia, Snorunt), or the indexes of Pokémon that have evolved from Dawn Stone (Gallade, Froslass)?

And....

Spoiler:

".org 0x4318e
lsl r0, r0, #0x0
ldr r2, .MethodAddr
bx r2

.MethodAddr: .word 0x085B2521 #UPDATE THIS TO MAIN FUNCTION OFFSET+1

What does it mean by main function, and what does the 0x4318e refer to?

(I'd been trying to find a method of evolving Kirlia and Snorunt into Gallade and Froslass without making Gardevoir female only and Glalie male only. I have the Dawn Stone in my hack, but it won't work as it should.)

I am pretty much clueless as to how to code in asm, but by looking at the day and night held item evolutions and some trial and error, I managed to remove the day/night check for a any time held item evolution. It's pretty useless if you have day/night in your hack, but if you're like me and hacking firered without adding a clock, it has its uses. Anyways, here it is:

Whoa! Thanks a lot for this! Does this remove the item?

Pretty sure you didn't remove the check, but bypassing it with some useless code.

Just remove these line:

[Froosty]

I dont know whats happening but there is some error with the male and female evolution.

they work perfectly fine but the name of the pokemon doesnt change at all.
i set if male then evolution of squirtle into pidgey to check,
it evolved into pidgey but the name still remained squirtle....
any idea how to fix it???

actually seems like its the error with all the methods listed

EDIT: can anyone pls help me with it!
Its not a major error that causes the game crash but its still a error, I want to make my hack game as much as errorless as possible
so anyone pls help me.
.
simply you can check if its happening to you also or nor!
If not I will try once again :D
Thanks .....

 

[nic0]

Guys I tried to insert male evolution but before the evolution the screen goes black and the game stopped, what can I do?

 

[nic0]

Have you expanded your Pokémon? If yes, you need to change this line:

pokemondata: .word 0x08254784

For your next questions give some details.

I've inserted it, now it doesn't crash, but now when the pokemon should evolve, it doesn't
Maybe I must get the National Pokédex?

 

[nic0]

If when it is evolving it stops and appears "?" on dialogue because the Evolution isn't on Kanto Dex, yes you need it.

Ah no, in my case the Evolution animation doesn't start

 

[nic0]

Well, then you have did something wrong, can you show me your routine location and your evolution table?
And if you can tell me the exactly steps you've followed, it will be good.

I'm using pokefreak890's 1020 base

 

[xRyanp92x]

could someone send me a link to an asm compiler ive found like a dozen links but every single one of them was broken and i dont know any names of compilers to narrow down my search... (i know literaly nothing about asm or compilers so im trying to learn but with out actualy having one its hard lol)

 

[xRyanp92x]

ok so i had my goodra style evolution in my game and when i tested it i thought it worked fine but i just found out that for some reason if i level my pokemon in the rain and hes not a high enough level (example: i set my squirtle to evolve at lvl 8 in the rain into blastoise [dont ask y lvl 8 random number i know lol]) the screen of my game just stays black and cant do anything else :/ anyone know why this would happen?

 

[Aiolia.leo]

Not sure but Goodra evo seems not to compile, yet the others are working fine. Someone could check this out?

 

[BluRose]

Not sure but Goodra evo seems not to compile, yet the others are working fine. Someone could check this out?

it compiles finely here ~_~

 

[PokeStar0911]

Ehm.... Hi
I have a question. How can i do an evolution like Kirlia to Gallade (or Snorunt to Frosslas)? With male (or female) and item? Please help

 

[ghfrc]

I don't understanding ASM yet but just copy the code,compile and after edit aini in G3HS?
Someone can create a routine like Gligar, Happiny and Sneasel evo mode but without Day/Night condition?

I want do this to allow Trade pokemon evolve with Lvl Up with item, like Scyther -> Metal Coat + Lvl Up -> Scizor or Graveler to Golem with Hard Stone

 

[Lunos]

Hey, can someone do some simplification/optimization work like jiangzhengwenjzw did here on Dark Magnezone's held item evolution routine?
I'm a fan of preserving as much free space as possible, and judging by Starfall321's comment the routine might be unoptimized xD ..
I tried Starfall's own simplification but it throws an error when trying to compile it.

 

[Qmer Kaça]

Can you make an evolution routine for using an item in a specific map?

 

[Lance Koijer 2.0]

Can you make an evolution routine for using an item in a specific map?

That's hard to do because it involves two parameters. The first one is the item number and the second one is the Map Number. Unless there is a specific item or specific map that will be used for checking. I'll be back with an evolution routine which requires a table to be created.
