Diamond hack: Jello's Beta Diamond Hack

Jello's Beta Diamond Hack

I worked on most of this during August/September, took a break, and came back to it.

Ever wanted to know what Pokémon Diamond could have been like in an alternate universe where Game Freak kept certain beta elements of the game?
Well, now you can!

Features

Beta Front/Back sprites for Pokémon who have them.

Beta menu icons for Pokémon who have them.

Beta overworld sprites for NPC's.

Beta music tracks for various parts of the game, including battles.

Pokémon location/moveset changes inspired by the beta.

Some minor map alterations based off of the beta.

Beta tilesets- experience Sinnoh with a different look!

.....and more are planned for the future!

Screenshots

The patch was made with "Pokemon - Diamond Version (USA) (Rev 5)", so I would recommend patching using that rom. Other Diamond roms could work, but might create miscellaneous issues. Don't report bugs related to this!

However, I would appreciate feedback on the current build. Feel free to reply with any glitches, errors, or suggestions!

*Please note that I am aware of certain front sprite animations being "glitched". This is because most of the beta sprites only have one frame instead of two like the finished ones do. I'm working on a fix for those ones.

It's a sideshow, the entire game should be playable. It just has some alterations :t194:

the next build will have the early jubelife layout and multiple routes (201, 204, 209, 210, 213, 216, and 217 for now.) they are implemented and only need a few more fixes so i'm planning on uploading it (along with some animation fixes) as 1.1 soon.

also half of sprites need to have additional frames because most of them are static plus some textures are corrupted
