FireRed hack: Pokémon Kanto Black 2.08 (Sevii Islands Expansion)

[Mystery Man]

i have question did you add forms such dorus, kyurem and other gen 6 forms? im using original save. i notice that the hardware it seems like fast phase, i feel its like 60fps.

Most forms are in, including the weather trio and Hoopa. A few, like Kyurem's, are planned to be included sometime in the future.

WOW! thats really great im waiting for that moment and i hope that this coming gen 7 you'll implemnt them.

Does anyone know where I can find a Deino?

 

[Del]

Awesome!!!

Does anyone know where I can find a Deino?

That's my fav one!

You can find them in Cinnabar Mansion. On the subject of Deino, I might just add some to Route 23.

Judging by a quick scan, the only alternate forms that are left are Aegislash, Meloetta, Keldeo, and Kyurem. Their might be more interesting things to implement when generation 7's Pokemon info is released. ;)

Thanks for answering my question you're such a goodman :D

sturdy prematurely ends multi-hit moves :/

btw i hope pixilate does add that 1.3 multiplier to normal moves?

I don't think I'll be able to do much about Sturdy, but I'll look into it.

I'm not exactly certain about the -ate abilities. It also comes from MrDS's ROM base (no source code), so I'm not exactly certain if the multiplier was added to the routines.

Thanks Mystery Man this is my team, i just can't get Emboar as a rival main pokemon because i want Pansage earlier :D, and because i don't really like the starters Lillipup act as my starter :)

Till now i just got 2 legendaries. Many legendaries to catch...

So far just got some minor bugs,
1) Most of them like i said before,
2) This is intentional or not but a status like stock, swallow, etc still has capitalization

Alright, this update seems pretty great. I did a playthrough of 0.9.4 and I was... less than satisfied with a lot of features, but you've fixed pretty much every major complaint I had.

Some stuff I've noticed just by going through the game in G3HS-

Spoiler:

- Shed Skin is a pretty underwhelming ability for Serperior compared to Lightningrod on Samurott and Reckless on Emboar, but there aren't a whole lot of other good options... Have you considered Intimidate for Serperior (keeping Shed Skin on the first two), maybe? Serene Grace? Super Luck? Even Technician might work, although I'd be hesitant about that.

- Watchog still seems a bit underpowered, but that might just be me. Personally I'd consider buffing its Attack a little, but again, that might be me.

- This isn't a problem but I LOVE Bonemerang Stoutland, that's really clever and unique.

- Again, not exactly a problem, but would you consider giving Purrloin Thief instead of Bite? They're the same BP and Thief fits Purrloin's personality way more.

- Acrobatics/Bulldoze on Zebstrika seems strange. Was this intentional, and if so, why?

- Why does Gigalith get Bullet Punch and Hammer Arm if it doesn't have any arms? Also, Gigalith doesn't get Solar Beam right now despite learning it in vanilla, not that anyone will ever teach it that.

- Power Gem is learned by a lot of weird Pokemon, including Swoobat, Whimsicott, and Seismitoad. Was there a reason behind this?

- Woobat evolves into Swoobat via friendship, but also via... "Breeding Only". Given what you did to Swadloon, I assume this was supposed to be a set level?

- TM50 also looks like it was supposed to teach Will-O-Wisp since it has its description and a Fire-type TM palette.

- Audino could stand to be a little stronger IMO.

- Not sure I understand why Double Kick has 40 BP- it's essentially an 80 BP Fighting attack with 30 PP, 100% accuracy, which is learned early on. It should go back to being 30 BP, I think.

- Leavanny gets... Charge Beam?

- Fiery Dance Maractus is a little silly to me.

- Personally I think Scraggy should retain Moxie, but that's personal preference. Also, Scrafty doesn't learn Superpower.

- Why do Sigilyph, Archen, and Archeops get Avalanche? On a related note, why doesn't Carracosta get it?

- Regenerator Garbodor is cute, I like that.

- Gothitelle's not compatible with Thunderbolt, despite getting it normally. Also, for some reason G3HS acts weirdly and won't let me view its secondary ability- did you give it something other than Shadow Tag? Shadow Tag Gothita in Pokemon Tower were really annoying on my initial playthrough.

- Milk Drink Vanilluxe is hilarious and I love it.

- Emolga could stand to be buffed a bit. Maybe +10 to Attack and Sp. Attack?

- Sewaddle gets Bug Buzz worryingly early, given that Leavanny's Sp. Attack isn't awful.

- I like Heatproof Klinklang, but its physical coverage is still really bad. Give it Bulldoze or Superpower, perhaps?

- THANK YOU FOR GETTING RID OF RIVALRY AXEW.

- Explosion Stunfisk is amazing, thank you for blessing the world in this way

- Durant learns Wing Attack for some reason.

- A couple Pokemon have blank abilities, like Greninja, Bisharp, Pyroar, Furfrou, and Gothita.

- Icy Wind Delphox?

- Recover Furfrou is weird. I would have gone with Wish myself.

- Why do the two Meowstics have the same level-up moveset?

- I love Flash Fire Gourgeist.

- All the Eevees bar Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon learn no TMs, and Eevee itself only gets Roar.

I haven't played through this version yet, but I plan to soon. Good work!

 

[Perriechu]

this hack is really cute, the difficulty is perfect and it's just generally a really nice hack.

Moonblast crashes the game though. Makes fighting Dedenne/Carbink terrifying. :(

edit: Flash Cannon does as well

 

[PeterDavid]

First of all - amazing hack! I didn't finish playing it yet, but so far it looks great. I have an idea, though - could you make the Exp. Share to work like in gen 6 games? What I mean is: 1. All Pokemon that don't participate in battle receive 50% of the battler's EXP. 2. All Pokemon that don't participate in battle acquire the same EVs as the battling Pokemon. Or at least the first one? What do you think?

Nice team! And yeah, it is quite easy to abandon the Unova starters especially due to how awesome some of the other Pokemon in the same generation are. Definitely understandable! xD

I'll correct the capitalization incongruities later, thanks.

I agree that it is and all it really does is serve a thematic purpose. I'll definitely consider the abilities you have listed.

- Watchog still seems a bit underpowered, but that might just be me. Personally I'd consider buffing its Attack a little, but again, that might be me.

I might buff its defenses so it can make more use of Analytic + 2x if used last. It should still be decent, at the very least.

- This isn't a problem but I LOVE Bonemerang Stoutland, that's really clever and unique.

- Again, not exactly a problem, but would you consider giving Purrloin Thief instead of Bite? They're the same BP and Thief fits Purrloin's personality way more.

The reason Purrloin does not have Thief is because it can steal the trainer's item. Normally, not an issue, but trainers on harder difficulties do make use of battle items such as Life Orb. Plus, in generation 5, Thief no longer takes items away from trainers. Once I can make Thief work the way it does in generation 5, it'll definitely have Thief once again.

- Acrobatics/Bulldoze on Zebstrika seems strange. Was this intentional, and if so, why?

Acrobatics is not intentional. Bulldoze is. According to the Pokedex, Zebstrika likes to go crazy sometimes. Plus, Girafarig can learn it.

- Why does Gigalith get Bullet Punch and Hammer Arm if it doesn't have any arms? Also, Gigalith doesn't get Solar Beam right now despite learning it in vanilla, not that anyone will ever teach it that.

It's a poke at Metagross. Solarbeam will be added, thanks!

- Power Gem is learned by a lot of weird Pokemon, including Swoobat, Whimsicott, and Seismitoad. Was there a reason behind this?

Power Gem is all over the place in compatibility. I'll scour through it again. It's intended for Psychic and Rock type Pokemon, mostly.

- Woobat evolves into Swoobat via friendship, but also via... "Breeding Only". Given what you did to Swadloon, I assume this was supposed to be a set level?

Oh yes, definitely. Thanks!

- TM50 also looks like it was supposed to teach Will-O-Wisp since it has its description and a Fire-type TM palette.

Will fix. Thanks!

- Audino could stand to be a little stronger IMO.

- Not sure I understand why Double Kick has 40 BP- it's essentially an 80 BP Fighting attack with 30 PP, 100% accuracy, which is learned early on. It should go back to being 30 BP, I think.

Don't know why I did this, but I'll most likely revert it.

- Leavanny gets... Charge Beam?

Oversight, thanks!

- Fiery Dance Maractus is a little silly to me.

It's a Pokemon that likes to dance and is also able to live in higher temperatures (ehhh makes sense on some level). I was inspired to do this after playing hacks that gave Lilligant Fiery Dance.

- Personally I think Scraggy should retain Moxie, but that's personal preference. Also, Scrafty doesn't learn Superpower.

I initially didn't want it to have the same abilities as Krookodile, but Shed Skin kind of sucks.

- Why do Sigilyph, Archen, and Archeops get Avalanche? On a related note, why doesn't Carracosta get it?

Avalanche is another of those TMs that are all over the place in terms of compatibility. Sigilyph and Archeops shouldn't have it, and I'll definitely give it to Carracosta.

- Regenerator Garbodor is cute, I like that.

- Gothitelle's not compatible with Thunderbolt, despite getting it normally. Also, for some reason G3HS acts weirdly and won't let me view its secondary ability- did you give it something other than Shadow Tag? Shadow Tag Gothita in Pokemon Tower were really annoying on my initial playthrough.

Yeah, another oversight. Will fix!

It's most likely not loading the new abilities. Competitive and Defiant are some of them.

- Milk Drink Vanilluxe is hilarious and I love it.

- Emolga could stand to be buffed a bit. Maybe +10 to Attack and Sp. Attack?

- Sewaddle gets Bug Buzz worryingly early, given that Leavanny's Sp. Attack isn't awful.

It isn't that lethal with Sewaddle. I would argue that Bug Buzz makes it just as useful as other Pokemon at those levels. Leavanny's Special Attack is decent at best. I would think, for most people, Bug Buzz (with Leavanny) is really only useful mid game.

- I like Heatproof Klinklang, but its physical coverage is still really bad. Give it Bulldoze or Superpower, perhaps?

I like Bulldoze. I'll consider Superpower.

- THANK YOU FOR GETTING RID OF RIVALRY AXEW.

I was intending on having this corrected in a short update back then, but I had issues getting Mold Breaker to work, so I just decided to go with other abilities that do not weaken a move depending on the gender.

- Explosion Stunfisk is amazing, thank you for blessing the world in this way

- Durant learns Wing Attack for some reason.

My justification for this really isn't defendable: some ants have wings. Durant apparently does not, but I really wanted it to have Steel Wing for mid game (it can be obtained early through Wonder Egg). I'll consider replacing it since it should already be decent enough with Metal Claw.

- A couple Pokemon have blank abilities, like Greninja, Bisharp, Pyroar, Furfrou, and Gothita.

Greninja has Protean, Bisharp has Defiant, Pyroar has competitive, Furfrou has Fur Coat.

- Icy Wind Delphox?

It might seem counterintuitive given its Fire type, but Psychic types generally learn this move. It's also supposed to complement Technician to improve it's usefulness.

- Recover Furfrou is weird. I would have gone with Wish myself.

Good idea, I'll go with that.

- Why do the two Meowstics have the same level-up moveset?

Will be corrected; thanks!

- I love Flash Fire Gourgeist.

- All the Eevees bar Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon learn no TMs, and Eevee itself only gets Roar.

They're not yet finished outside of Sylveon.

I haven't played through this version yet, but I plan to soon. Good work!

Responses in bold to make sure I don't skip as much. Thanks! Your feedback and suggestions, gratefully accepted.

edit: Flash Cannon does as well

Thanks! Very pleased to read that you find the difficulty to be perfect! About Moonblast and Flash Cannon, I'll probably work on another battle animation for them so that they don't crash on other hardware.

First of all - amazing hack! I didn't finish playing it yet, but so far it looks great. I have an idea, though - could you make the Exp. Share to work like in gen 6 games? What I mean is: 1.

What do you think?

Thanks! Once I find a safe way to do it, I'll definitely add it to the hack. I might include it in the difficulty rating system or make it a late game item, but yes, once I can, it will be in. :D

 

[Murkrow]

bug buzz on leavanny isn't OP haha, leavanny only has a measly 70 special attack anyway, worst than even fuking butterfree...

in vanilla games durant learns metal claw at lvl21 and iron head at lvl36. those are decent enough for mid game. iron head is much better than crap wings (seriously just make it 100% accuracy...). unless you telling me this hack has no iron head?? even gen1/gen2 hacks have iron head...

Iron Head is in this hack, but I moved it to Lv. 51 for Durant as it is its best STAB. I'll take your suggestion for Steel Wing.

 

[Absoluzion]

Why HM Moves are so powerful(power and accuracy)? Because of that i don't get any struggle to put them on any pokemon, the struggle feelings are lost, why you did that XD, i like the struggle feels on any vanilla game when to put a HM move :)

sorry for my bad grammars

 

[Murkrow]

intimidate does not trigger defiant. by right it should, and the pokemon with defiant should have -1+2=+1 attack at the start of battle

also in a double battle,
if a pokemon use bulldoze with a flying type as their partner (haven't test with a levitator), the bulldoze will hit only one opposing mon and prematurely end (even if both opposing mons are non flying/levitate).

the poor ones are still terrible
cut is still only a weak 60bp normal move...
rock smash is now 60bp but is still terribly weak for fighting move

 

[Perriechu]

Where can I find Skrelp? Pokedex says One/Four/Five island but I've fished and surfed all over and still nothing.

Thanks for the report! Bulldoze should be fairly easy to fix. Some of the HMs are designed to only be useful at the point you get them.

Heh, if you like the feeling of struggle, you should fight the Elite Four on omega mode and EVs activated. :P
Or try Rush Tower!

Where can I find Skrelp? Pokedex says One/Four/Five island but I've fished and surfed all over and still nothing.

You should be able to find it by fishing with the Super Rod (obtained in Fuchsia City) in those locations.
