Pokemon Crystal Encounter Rates

How do wild Pokemon percentages work in GSC?

Encounters themselves are shown by XY, where X is the level byte and Y is the species byte. E.g., the string of bytes from 2B0C3 to 2B0EC is 024A0215034A031302E702130213024A0215034A0313021302130213024A0213034A0313021302130213 , which translates to

L2Geodude
L2Spearow
L3Geodude
L3Rattata
L2Phanpy
L2Rattata
L2Rattata
L2Geodude
L2Spearow
L3Geodude
L3Rattata
L2Rattata
L2Rattata
L2Rattata
L2Geodude
L2Rattata
L3Geodude
L3Rattata
L2Rattata
L2Rattata
L2Rattata

Now, I've heard that there are 7 Pokemon to a time of day, meaning that these 21 Pokemon are in one location, over three different time periods. The presence of Phanpy immediately brings to mind Route 46. Since Phanpy is in the first group of 7, we can safely assume that the order is Morn/Day/Nite (especially since Spearow isn't in the third group of 7, and Spearow is the only one of these Pokemon that doesn't appear at night). Thus, does this mean that the odds of catching Phanpy in the morning are 1/7 (15%) and the odds of any level Rattata 3/7 (43%), or is there more to it (such as the order of the individual Pokemon being significant)?


And, for that matter, what defines a "simple question"?

 

[Deokishisu]

Ok, I need to know how to add in a Pokémon's cry. I have created a Pikachu in Littleroot town in Ruby. I have made it say 'Pika pika', but I want to be able to hear the cry aswel. Anybody know how to do this?

I can answer this one!

'-----------------------
#org 0x[your offset here]
lock
faceplayer
cry 0xA1 0x19
nop
nop
msgbox 0x8[your message offset here] '"PIKACHU: Pika ..."
callstd 0x4
#raw 0xC5
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x1829F4
= PIKACHU: Pika pika!

It's basically just a message with added stuff.

[cry 0xA1 0x19] means it plays the cry of the Pokemon 19 in hex. That just happens to be Pikachu.

msgbox 0x8[your message offset here] '"PIKACHU: Pika ..."

Oh right cool. But... what do I do with this?

 

[Deokishisu]

Oh right cool. But... what do I do with this?

Okay, the EliteMap package comes with ScriptEd. Open it up and then copy+paste that script into the window. Click "Compile". Select your ROM and then click yes. It should compile. (make sure you replace the "your offsets here" with an actual offset.) Next open Advance Map and load your ROM. Go to the map with the Pikachu you wanted to speak with. Add the first offset in the script, (the one you needed to plug into the actual script) and add that over "$000000" make sure the $ is in front. Save the map and test it in Visualboy Advance. It should work. (anything over 800000 should be empty offsets. Try plugging them in the script) That's it!

EDIT: Oh, I messed up. Try this one.

'-----------------------
#org 0x[your offset here]
lock
faceplayer
cry 0xA1 0x19
nop
nop
msgbox 0x8[your message offset here] '"PIKACHU: Pika ..."
callstd 0x4
#raw 0xC5
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x[same as your message offset here]
= PIKACHU: Pika pika!

Edit2: Question:

ScriptED has problems with the trainerbattle commands, there's nothing you can do about it, but inserting the trainerbattle command by either #raw commands, or by inserting it with a Hex-Editor.

This has been posted quite a while back (Page 37 I believe) but I've looked and found have no answer. What are the #raw commands for a trainerbattle command in Firered? Can someone provide a sample script? Thanks in advance.

 

[martijn]

Could anyone explain Oaks script to me? I'd like to adjust the movement but I can't figure out the positions...

[Blaziken626]

Does anyone happen to have the Ruby badge offsets for TM/TLP? They are uncompressed, right?

 

[BlackRainbow*]

[Deokishisu]

No, he's talking about the uncompressed Intro sprites. I'm prettty sure it was answered. Just search the thread.

 

[Blaziken626]

Does anyone know how to use PokeCryGUI to edit a Pokemon's cry? I opened the ROM, typed in the PokeID, loaded the WAV, and then clicked on the Samples, Repoint, and Encode buttons, and it never worked! Can I get any help, please? And by the way, does anyone know where to find clear Shinou Pokemon cries? If not, that's okay.

 

[BlackRainbow*]

No, he's talking about the uncompressed Intro sprites. I'm prettty sure it was answered. Just search the thread.

i Know what he talking about
but they are in unzlgba around 330-350 in 256 color mode

Laptop Code

can someone give me a code so that i can get an item in my keypockets (laptop) so i can access pc at any time.

please!!!! it would be really cool and everyone could put it in their hack too.

 

[Blaziken626]

Could someone tell me why the back sprite for Torchic just disappeared in unLZ-GBA? It happened after I made a copy of my hack. Every time I copy a gba file, a sprite disappears from unLZ-GBA.

 

[w_rink_ly]

Uh oh

Hi,
I've been hacking ruby 0907 and I've replaced the script used to battle Groudon in Cave of Origin with another script which works fine. However, the weather is still set to drought when i leave the cave. Is there a flag I need to clear or set to stop this? I have looked at the original scipt to try to get an idea but it's very confusing (for me). Would really appreciate some help here.

Thanks in advance,
W_rink_ly

I'm pretty sure you'd need ASM hacking to make an item like that. Code as in cheating or code as in coding? If it's cheating then no, there's no code for that at all.

Does anyone know the #raw commands for a trainerbattle script? I really need them.

 

[w_rink_ly]

Hmmm...

Hi,
Ok, third question now (he he he). I am trying to find the offset of the palette of the red aura that comes from the red orb when you battle groudon in ruby (0907). The value is 001F which means that I search for 1F00 in the hex editor. Can't find the correct offset tho. Anyone hav better luck than me?

Thanks in advance,
W_rink_ly

How do you load a new tileset in AdvanceMap?
im still working with the default existing tiles, id like to change it up, i dont know how

How do you add new pokemon? I believe I have the correct program, and I have seen backimages on a site I can use, I am just wondering how to go about it?

thanks

 

[Liquinn]

I am off at HEX. Need some awnsers Scizz ;)

I use a trans hex editor to edit text.

I can't seem to find symbols in the hex editor, like dots (...) and comma's (,) in my gold table file when I use a hex editor.

How do I edit the text, like, I want to edit this text.

"Ah... I'm so happy." And the hex won't find the dots and the comma.

Next. I can't see to edit the word "Pokemon" with the foreign "e" in the hex editor. I need to know how to do this.

Thanks Scizz.

To load a new tileset sweetie, go to the block editor. First save what tileset editing, then load the new tileset you edited or made. Becareful not use save or edit in pallete0, it tends to mess things up, sweetie.

That question has been asked many times, just search for it, sweetie.

Okie sweetie here ya go. =3
Hex = Character
75 = …
54 = POKé

Apperently sweetie, three characters are 1 byte. It's not a bother anyway, unless you're going to use the word pureé in your hack. XD

Well sweetie, did ya repoint the sprite or something, before copying the sprite? Use RS Ball, or PokePic to see if you can still see it, sweetie.

I know Jeremy answered it above but here is all the hex codes for Pokemon Gold.

Hex Code= Letter/Number basically this is how it is shown below.
*55
/00
4F==
57=#
51=*
52=Hiro
53=Rival
54=Poke
55=+
58=$
7F=
80=A
81=B
82=C
83=D
84=E
85=F
86=G
87=H
88=I
89=J
8A=K
8B=L
8C=M
8D=N
8E=O
8F=P
90=Q
91=R
92=S
93=T
94=U
95=V
96=W
97=X
98=Y
99=Z
9C=:
A0=a
A1=b
A2=c
A3=d
A4=e
A5=f
A6=g
A7=h
A8=i
A9=j
AA=k
AB=l
AC=m
AD=n
AE=o
AF=p
B0=q
B1=r
B2=s
B3=t
B4=u
B5=v
B6=w
B7=x
B8=y
B9=z
BA='
BC='l
BD='s
BE='t
BF='v
E0='
E1=PK
E2=MN
E3=-
E4='r
E5='m
E6=?
E7=!
E8=.
F4=,
F6=0
F7=1
F8=2
F9=3
FA=4
FB=5
FC=6
FD=7
FE=8
FF=9
75=...

"Ah... I'm so happy." should come up as "80 A7 75 7F 88 E5 7F B2 AE 7F A7 A0 AF AF B8 E8"

As for Pokemon, Poke is sepererated as 54 and then MON is 8C 8E 8D.

Hopefully this helped, liquinn.

This should help with people who need Hex Codes for RBY/GSC Hacks.
