That's right, no physical/special split.
Inspired by me getting into gen 3 comp a little bit.
About:
This is a small hack of Pokemon Platinum that removes the physical/special split, and takes the player straight to the Battle Factory.
FEATURES:
-Removal of the physical/special split (DUH)
-Fully edited Battle Factory rentals: EVs, items, movesets, natures
-Fully edited Battle Factory trainer's text
-Minor text edits in batte
-Faster HP bar (2x) (not shown in video)
-Added GB Sounds battle music from HGSS
-Player can choose what battle bgm they want (method shown in video is outdated--you have to leave the Battle Factory and talk to the Guitarist NPC)
-All the Clowns are named Phil/Phillip.
-All the Guitarists sing real lyrics.
ROM Base:
Pokemon - Platinum Version (USA) (Rev 1)
Tested on DeSmuME emulator 0.9.11_x86 (if there are any emulation issues).
DOWNLOAD:
Version 3.5 https://www.mediafire.com/file/95qcge2ifocnhi9/Pokemon_-_Platinum_Version_No_PSS_v3.5.zip/file
Patch using Xdelta:
https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/
Pre-physical/special split info, for those of you who don't know:
Whether a move uses the Attack stat or Special Attack stat is no longer based on the move itself, but its type.
Here is a list of whether each type is physical (uses Attack) or special (uses Special Attack):
PHYSICAL TYPES:
Normal
Rock
Ground
Flying
Fighting
Ghost
Bug
Steel
Poison
SPECIAL TYPES:
Fire
Water
Grass
Electric
Dragon
Psychic
Dark
Ice
Things to note:
-Hidden Power is not yet included in this hack, but if it were, it unfortunately would NOT be type-based. If this hack expands, I'll definitely get a fix for that.
-There is a Magnezone with Overheat toward the end (when your streak is nearing a gold symbol) because of the aformentioned lack of Hidden Power
and because I feel Magnezone should really learn Overheat.
-All the Clowns are named Phil/Phillip.
-All the Guitarists sing real lyrics.
Completed updates:
-v1 Revamped all 950 possible rental mons to have more appropriate stats, natures, and/or movesets.
-v2/v3 Balanced rental mons from v1/v2; turns out it WAS severely needed.
-v3 Add easychat-esque text for the Battle Factory opponents, a la gen 3.
-v3 Crunch has been reverted to lowering SpDef once again. Flash Cannon was changed to lower Def.
---(Crunch lowered SpDef in gens 2 and 3 and was changed to lower Def in gen 4 onward when it became physical; the same makes sense for Flash Cannon).
-v3.5 added ability to change battle music. Leave the Factory and talk to the Guitarist to change it.
-v3.5 updated low HP bar sound.
-v3.5 doubled HP bar speed.
MAYBE updates:
-(If severely needed) balance rental mons.
-Option to change battle music.
-Edit titlescreen.
-Change parts of intro, like naming Player and Rival.
Bugfixes:
v3.5 fixed a Parasol Lady's opening text that was just "PARASOL LADY"
This will probably be the last major update. I've already gone way further than I initially thought I would--or could.
I thought it would be interesting enough with just the PSS removed (v1), but then the movesets and stats for almost every mon SUCKED SHIT. So I redid them (v2).
And then I thought "hey this dialogue is kind of boring" and wanted to make my own EasyChat style (like gen 3's Factory) so I made this, v3.
These two updates have been more work than I anticipated, but they were also very fun and let me be creative.
At the moment I can't imagine what else I could add to make a v4, but there may be a v3.1, or even a v3.2, or something.
I also do plan to make a list of every Pokemon, its EVs, nature, moveset, and item in the future, if this ever gets traction enough to warrant it.
And maybe one day I'll do more than the Battle Factory. Like a whole game. But I fucking doubt it.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Lhea, AdAstra, HD125D for all their help and making dynamic music possible
Coincidentally, Werster started doing gen 4 Battle Factory runs today (3/6/24). What are the odds of that? It turns out, pretty good.
