Pretty solid rom hack. I do quite enjoy the new shinies and the lower odds.View attachment 169111

Hey that's cool, love your two shinys! If you have some time, would you mind teling me what you think about the overall difficulty? What you liked and disliked?

Do you plan to do some new postgame events like rematch the gym leaders, trying out the new Battleground or fighting Cyrus ?

The game didn't feel more difficult that a regular Platnium playthrough. I do wish some more shinies were changed, but the ones that were were nice.
I'll probably do the post-game stuff.
 
Are the shiny pallets of pokemon not native to sinnoh changed? Asking cause i think it would be pretty cool for like a randomized shinylocke!
It seems like a fun game so definitely gonna try to hardcore nuzlocke it :)

Almost every shiny was changed as you can see in the "New Shinys" folder in the download :smile:

Yes almost every shiny across all 4 generations ! Don't hesitate to take a look at the folder in the download to see every changes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Been slowly working on a few things, I decided to continue the visual changes and this time got to the gender sprites. Decided to use sprites from HG/SS and D/P to differentiate them further :

Also thinking of what patches to include for the coming update. Undecided on what to focus on be it difficulty, legality, closer to normal Platinum...
I could "copy" Renegade Platinum level curve for a difficulty patch, also I learned how to put level caps for gym leaders so that could help
I could also work on a 493 patch with type and learnset changes, or a Platinum+ one (Vanilla Platinum with Unlocked's QOL changes and new visuals...)

I know everyone have their preferences in term of what they want to play so I can't please everyone :confused:

Dont make it hard please x.x

Or if you decide to do so, include two versions of it. The casual one and the harder one
 
I'm still working on updating things here and here, mostly on the visual aspect. I made the little visual glitch before battles a lot less noticable, reimported the titlescreen and worked on gender differences

Gen 1-2 will use the sprites from HG/SS for the males
Gen 3 will use D/P sprites for females if they were different, otherwise I switched their frames when possible
Gen 4 will use D/P sprites for females

Also gave Empoleon an update on its normal coloring :

I decided on what to do for alternate patches and will start working on them real soon, an update should happen in the coming months

EDIT 28/12/24

Began working on an optional harder patch :
- The level curve will follow Renegade Platinum but with the same number of Pokemon as Platinum (exept for latter gym battles)
- Enemy trainers will have good natures, better stats and moves as the game goes on
- A level cap will be applied to each gym battle to ensure you fight them on almost equal grounds
- A new NPC will be added next to each gym to allow fast grinding if you need new team members (good for Nuzlocke runs, completing the Pokedex or if you overleveld). She won't battle you if a Pokemon in your party is already over the level cap of the gym

this romhack looks good, but idk if it's possible or not but would it be possible to code in an exp.all???

Thanks! I've looked into it and unfortunatly it can't be done as of now (requires knowledge I don't have)

In other news I spent a lot of time on this :

[PokeCommunity.com] Platinum Unlocked V1.3 ! Updated 06/04/25

Pocket PC has new options. The Pocket PC is given to you at the same time as the runing shoes. It can only be used in routes/towns, won't work inside buildings, caves or special places
All these options can also be used on the classic PC
Bebe's PC has been renamed Pokémon Storage
Move tutors on the go - the three normal ones will unlock after your third badge and the other two after the fifth
Teleport system to get where you want to without using fly. It updates every time you speak to an Abra NPC in a new town. Said Abra can send you to previous connected citys (Like from Sandgem to Twinleaf, Jubilife or to Pal Park)
Name rater APP to rename your Pokémon on the go
Misc. options are :
Potential rater will tell you the potential of a Pokémon based on its total IVs
Effort rater will tell you if your Pokémon you can still earn EVs or is already fully trained
Hidden power APP can tell you your Pokémon hidden power type
Happiness UP will make a Pokémon instantly love you (increases friendship to 255)
Soft level cap can activate or remove the soft level cap
I might add a healing function in there, still undecided on the mater

To prevent you from getting a fully powered return at the begining of the game I will make Rowan give you another TM, I'm thinking hidden power instead

I will disapoint a lot of people but you can't get the game to tell you exactly what your EVs/IVs without coding knowledge that I don't have. You also can't modify them manualy
I have chosen to let the Pocket PC act as an item to not be used wrongly inside buildings or with a partner following you to prevent game breaking bugs. These functions haven't been tested fully, I will soon release a 3 gyms demo to let people test these new functions

And today I present to you the first demo of Platinum Unlocked V1.3!

The demo goes up to the third gym, after that point nothing has been balanced correctly

Reddit post :
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1iurrfp/platinum_unlocked_v13_demo_discord_server

Hello!
Today I bring to you the first demo of Platinum Unlocked V1.3!
For those who don't know, Platinum Unlocked aims to be a QOL hack of Platinum without changing too much of the original game, more info here : https://www.pokecommunity.com/threa...-beta-better-looking-updated-05-12-24.530747/
So what's new here in V1.3 ? The biggest additions are :
- Pocket PC
- Male/female sprite differences
- Updated difficulty
- Maid Experiencia to help you grind new team members before gym battles
- NPCs that will give you Pokémon that you etheir can't get in Platinum or get only in the post game
With this update I aim to please the people who requested a way to complete the National Dex and those who wanted a more challenging game. The difficulty has been calced upon Renegade Platinum has its level curve holds pretty well.
The Pocket PC is a new item that replaces the VS Seeker (no more rematches in this game) and adds a LOT of cool things : the ability to teleport to previously visited towns, buy from the Pokémart on the go, free healing, move reminder and move tutors... To not cause any game breaking bugs I chose to make it only work on routes and citys. The item like other key items won't work inside caves, buildings, forests or special areas.
Since rematches were removed I added an NPC that will help you train if you wish to catch up to the gym's max level. Wich means for exemple that for Roark that NPC won't train your party past level 16
New battles were added like with Lucas/Dawn on route 202 and 207, Cheryl in Eterna Forest and Mira in Wayward Cave! Wayward Cave as of right now hasn't been made mandatory but if you do this side quest you get one of each evolution stones. Wich is truly good early game
Where possible I changed etheir the male/female sprites of Pokémon. I felt like it helps further add personality to the game
This demo goes up to the third gym battle, I didn't change anything past that point (but the teleport system should go up to post-game, just wasn't tested). So if you wish you can still go past that point, but beware of bugs
I created a discord server to talk about balence, updates and what you'd like to see next!
Download link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/g3xg2p6b809jbdl/Unlocked_v1.3_demo1.zip/file

Yosammy, I really enjoy your rom hack. For version 1.2, do the 3 patches you mentioned have a link to them in a separate download, or are all the patches all in one downloadable file including the rom hack base itself. I don't see a link to the extra patches for the vanilla++ etc. Or will the extra patches be released with version 1.3? The reason I am asking is I'm waiting for the full release of version 1.3 without the demos testing. Thank you and good luck.

Thanks a lot!

As of right now I have given up on multiple versions as having one that's fully completed is my current goal. That's why in 1.3 I will make the full National Dex obtainable my way and adjust difficulty, so that if I don't have the motivation for other patches at least this one will have the most demanded features

Nonetheless I'm teasing a special version of Unlocked in the Discord server and if I keep my motivation up it's the next thing I'll be working on!
 
Hello ! I love those type of QoL ROM, nice works !

I see you have your hands occupied with a lots of features already, but I was wondering what you would think of an option to make the running shoes toggle-able instead of always pressing B ? Saw this in multiple previous gens hacks, and it was kinda neat QoL.

Also, just wanted to let you know the Discord link is expired :)
