SoulSilver hack: Pokémon MindCrystal

[Bullorde]

If someone didn't, well ... It's here then. A Pokédex for Pokémon
Mind Crystal, in English, tested maybe 99%. If I see something that
needs updated, I will upload it again. See you! Au revoir!

How to open this files?
Open the xlsx file with Google Drive or with your favorite
Office Suite. But if you want, can open the PDF (It's only one
page, then use zoom for a best experience).

P.S.: I still can't finish the locations part of the Pokémon, I owe this one! And if you
something wrong with Pokédex, don't forget to tell me, so I can fix it! Ok?

​

I'm glad to present you my attempt at a Pokémon hack, Pokémon MindCrystal, a mod of Pokémon SoulSilver.
I warn you though, this hack is available only in French.

The crux of this hack is obviously the inclusion of the Fairy-type at 100%.
Most of the changes were done from a technical standpoint.
These are the few parts of the storyline that were changed as of now:

• the girl in Ilex Forest gate that gave you the TM12 now gives you instead the Eviolite.
• Several TMs have changed location.
• the Day-Care lady gives to you the Odd Egg which can hatch into any 17 non-Togepi babies.
  
• all 16 Gym Leaders first teams got revamped, as well as those of the Elite 4, Lance and Red.
• all 16 Gym Leaders second teams got revamped, as well as those of the Elite 4, Lance.
• the inclusion of Lv.100 battles against Gym Leaders, Elite 4 and Red after defeating the latter for the first time.

Grab the xDelta patch at the bottom of this post and patch it with a French version of Pokémon SoulSilver.

• Revamped type-chart to include the Fairy-type matchup as well as all the neutral match-ups.
• Pixie Plate implemented.
• Roseli Berry implemented.
• Fairy-type Arceus in place of ???-type Arceus.
• Updated Judgment to take into account the Pixie Plate.
• Pokédex fully updated to take into account the Fairy-type in Research mode.
• Conversion updated to take into account the Fairy-type.
• Conversion 2 updated to take into account all 324 types match-ups.
• Battle Hall includes the Fairy-type row.
• Fairy-type icon.
• Pokédex Fairy-type icon.

Fairy-type moves:

Battle Tower:

• Shiny lock removed as well for the NPC partners in Multi Battle mode.

Battle Hall:

• As said earlier, Battle Hall includes the Fairy-type row.
• You still fight in rounds of 10 battles.
• The Silver Print is now obtained by challenging and defeating Argenta on the 80th battle.
• The Gold Print is now obtained by challenging and defeating Argenta on the 180th battle.
• Other mechanics inherent to the Battle Hall were updated to grant a flawless experience of the facility.

• Shiny chance is now 1/4096.
• Having a Pokémon with the Ability Super Luck leading the party increases the likelihood of encountering a wild Shiny Pokémon.
• Shiny generation from "forced shiny encounters" method was slightly altered to take into account the modified Shiny Rate.
• Cute Charm PID generation is improved and no longer restricted, which means you can no longer abuse Cute Charm for easy Shinies.
• Shellos and Gastrodon East Sea forms are now available in Kanto.
• +50% Physical Defense boost for Ice-types under Hail.
• Soundproof check against Heal Bell removed.
• Stealth Rock damage is decreased by half.
• Fixed the move Hail, basically in gen IV the way Hail is coded allows you to use Hail despite Snow Warning.
• Fixed the move Fire Fang so that it doesn't hit through Wonder Guard anymore unless it happens to be super-effective.
• Hidden Power can be Normal or Fairy type now as well, the Hidden Power NPC will notice this too.
• Hidden Power no longer takes into account Speed to calculate the type.
• Some Base Stats were upgraded to help some Pokémon perform better (for example Persian or Probopass).
• Starf Berry can now sharply increase accuracy and evasion.
• Castform and Cherrim alternate forms now display their respective icon during battles.
• Castform's alternate forms now display their respective type when checked through the menu during battles.

• Fixed Strength graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions.
• Fixed Facade graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions.

• All Trainers' Pokémon have now 255 EVs in all 6 stats.
• All Trainers' Pokémon have now the possibility to easily get beneficial natures.

• IVs for opponents' Pokémon can be chosen from a pool of 64 combinations, most notably to capitalize on Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room.
• All Trainers' Pokémon can now be contained in Balls other than Poké Balls.
• The number of possible seals combinations for opponents' Pokémon went up from 28 to 216.
• Ace Trainer Lois replaces Juggler Irwin in the Pokégear, you can set a rematch with her on Wednesday afternoons (10:00 to 19:59).
• ASM hack to allow more than 737 trainers in-game (complete with text).
• Continuity for opposing Trainers is preserved, by that I mean that the IVs, nature, shininess and gender of opposing Pokémon stay the same (for example Falkner's Pidgeot is canonically the same creature as when he was only a Pidgey).
• Alternate Forms from Trainers now have their correct Ability as well as the correct Base Stats' spread.

• A new item was created, the Evolutor, which when applied like an Evolutionary Stone to a Lv 100 Pokémon, allows it to evolve if it can do so!
• Eevee can now evolve into Leafeon if leveled-up at Ilex Forest or Viridian Forest.
• Eevee can now evolve into Glaceon if leveled-up at Ice Path or Seafoam Islands.
• Magneton and Nosepass can now evolve into Magnezone and Probopass respectively if leveled-up at Team Rocket HQ, Route 10 or Power Plant.
• Feebas, on top of requiring a beauty's stat of 170 min, is now required to level-up at least at level 20 to be able to evolve.
• Feebas gains a second failsafe evolution method in case the Sheen is maxed before the Beauty stat reaches 170.

• Female/Male Snorunt evolves into Froslass/Glalie at Lv 42.
• Female/Male Clamperl evolves into Gorebyss/Huntail with the Dawn Stone.
• Evolution methods 0xB and 0xC (Wurmple) were changed to make a Pokémon evolve by level-up at day (Silcoon) and at night (Cascoon) respectively, because making an evolution method based on the PID of a Pokémon is quite frankly a bad design.
  
• Pokémon that require a trade to evolve all gained an alternate method of evolution.

• Incenses babies are now the default base form.
• Miltank and Tauros are now considered the same species for breeding purposes.
• Feebas/Milotic and Magikarp/Gyarados are now considered the same species for breeding purposes.
• Females can now pass egg moves as well, eliminating all impossible egg moves combinations.
• A new NPC, called the Egg Move Tutor, makes an appearance; as the name implies he is capable of teaching your Pokémon moves that normally it has to know from birth, but also level-up moves that only pre-evolutions can learn, and for some Pokémon moves that they have no other way to learn, but you'll have to spend 100 BP to pay for his services!
• The Odd Egg will be given to you by the Day-Care lady!

• Gender ratios are fixed, with that I mean that for example 1 male per female REALLY means 1 male per female (and not 129 males for 127 females).
• Ponyta, Rapidash, Gardevoir, Feebas, Milotic and Gorebyss are now female-only.
• Magikarp, Gyarados, Glalie and Huntail are now male-only.

• Vitamins give 15 EVs per usage now.
• Lv 100 Pokémon can gain EVs by fighting now, but they still need to be deposited in the PC for the stat gains to take fully effect.
• IVs no longer have an effect on stats, that is stats are always calculated assuming an IV of 31, this is done to not disavantage you to much against Trainers, especially early-game.

_Asia81 for some bugfixes

Here are some valid reasons for why you would not play this hack, and that's because those issues still are being worked on:
_most Trainers still have their old team;
_most Kanto and some Johto areas still have their old wild encounter table;
The reason being that I wanted to get the ASM done first, so that I could concentrate better without having to shift focus.
And yes I worked alone on MindCrystal since the beginning, as a result it can get pretty long between 2 updates.

If despite that you still want to play, then enjoy :)

NOTE: Savefiles beginning from version 3.0 are not compatible with previous versions of MindCrystal due to some changes on how and where items are stored in the Bag.
If you downloaded v3.0, please do download v3.0.1 as it contains an important bugfix (thanks Stoffles67).

Why do you have to include Pokémon from other generations in all the hacks? It is painful to find a zigzaggon in New bark town ... I think that if you only put pokemon from johto and kanto except for togekiss and missmagius it would be more faithful ...

[zippywoop1]

This hack is quite amazing so far! Especially with the boost in framerate. It even works well on native DS hardware and it still goes at the increased framerate. However, if I read correctly, you made OHKO moves not have less than 70 accuracy? I find that a bit strange considering how OP that is, especially since you made other changes like forced SET battle to make it more balanced...

 

[rubbersool]

Does anybody have the list of trade evolutions?

 

[HappyMSI]

I put this here in case anyone like me isn't skilled with programs : you must have xdeltaUI to play it. This way you can patch the file here to the original ROM and create a new file ready to be played (if at the end of its name, you keep a ".nds".

Pour les français, suivre pas à pas ce tuto : https://www.gamergen.com/forums/dis...her-un-fichier-nds-avec-xdeltaui-t427349.html en téléchargeant le patcheur ailleurs que sur le site.

Does anyone have encounter documentation for this game? I'd like to do a Prof. Oak Challenge but I need to know what all is available in each section.

 

[GlitterintheSky]

Hey I was wondering, how did you make the odd egg? I'd really love to be able to make multiple-pokemon eggs for my own runs with edited roms :3

Also sorry if this is really annoying but wondering why did you make Gardevoir female only? I know it looks like its wearing a dress but Gardevoir and Gallade shouldn't be gendered in the first place. Pokemon shouldn't evolve based on gender in the first place, all available evolutions should be regardless of gender >.> looks at male Salandit and Combee
Sorry if that sounds disrespectful to ask, I just don't like the feminine= should be female only view a lot of Pokemon fans seem to have.

I really agree regarding female-only Gardevoir. It's actually kind of a deal breaker for me.

From a personal perspective, Sapphire was the first game I ever played and a male Ralts->Gardevoir I named Rafiel was one of the first Pokémon I ever caught. Making Gardevoir female-only sucks for me personally because I feel barred from playing with one of my favorite Pokémon. Same for Milotic (I always name him Cygnus) and Rapidash, a which are also childhood faves I feel barred from playing with. (Also why is Rapidash suddenly gender-locked. That seems like weird choice as there's nothing overly gendered about a horse.)

From a more general perspective, it also just feels really uncomfortable in the way it reinforces dated gender stereotypes. If anything, why can't we just un-gender lock Pokémon like Gallade. It's evolution method is already tied to a stone. Not to mention, of course sexual dimorphism exists in animals, but it's actually usually the males of many species, especially in birds and fish, that are more colorful and "feminine" looking. So, if anything, Milotic and Gorebyss should probably be the male counterparts to Gyarados and Huntail. (I think that's stupid too btw. Really they should all just have a 1:1 male to female ratio.)

Sorry if this comes across as overly critical, but I do think it's something really worth considering. It's a small detail, but it would totally ruin the experience for me. And It can feel invalidating to someone whose gender expression and aesthetic preferences aren't the traditional norm, which is probably a lot more than one might think. Which is a shame because the rest of the features of this hack look stunning, and I do wanna give kudos for that.

 

[blitz_2k]

The game is practically unbeatable in E4. When I get there I have to overlevel all my team around 30 levels over the pokes of the E4. It's too much unbalanced...

 

[L'Linku]

Hello, the method to evolve trade Evo pokémons isn't mentioned here, i hope i know how to evolve graveler

 

[LillianBunny]

This is an amazing hack, but locking Pokémon to certain genders is the stupidest shit. Now my Gardeboi won't be able to join me.

 

[songbird6067]

Hi! I'm enjoying this hack so far, does anyone have a list of pokemon locations? Specifically I'd like to know where houndour/elekid or electabuzz/remoraid are. I already hatched my egg from the daycare (mantyke). Let me know, thank you!

 

[Trainerred2]

Is there a version of this hack in Spanish? That would be awesome, thanks.

 

[Theultimategamergod_100]

This looks amazing. Is there any plan to translate this to English?

Also, yes, I know I'm obviously SUPER late to respond to you. But I honestly just felt like helping you out

Could someone send me the link for the 100% english rom? Please and Thanks in advance ^^

 

[blitz_2k]

The elite 4 is practically unbeatable. I mean, they have almost 10 levels above the last trainers on victory road, I can't heal and have to beat all 5 of them without breath with a pretty bad team that is underlevel. I need to train A LOT to gain minimun 20 levels above the champion without any good trainer to farm exp, so I have to do it farming wild weak pokes, practically no legendaries and with a lot of luck.
I can understand the no use of items during battle, but between each one of them too?
How do you guys do to beat E4 when reachin it for the first time?

 

[reebokplayer]

No idea man. I played this hack, enjoyed it 50% of the time, beat the E4, saved, then turned it off. I like difficulty in poke games similar to Sacred Gold / Storm Silver, but this was too much. Had to over-level my mons for 3 DAYS just to beat E4. I wanted to drop it right there but I was so close. All in all, I enjoyed it. Fairy type, increased hardware speed, type/ ability changes, reusable TMs, difficulty (not the gyms or E4), and variety of mons were great.

7/10 😄

[*]You can't use items from your bag against a Trainer, very much like against Battle Frontier Trainers!

Bonjour amigo! Sorry, I don't speak french either🙁 And I know, amigo is not french either haha
I just would ike to thank you for this great work, I've been playing for a few days now, it's VERY challenging and difficult and I'm very curious about one thing!
What ROM Hack Tool have you used to disable Item usage during battle? I'm planning on making a rom hack sometime in the future, and I might add this element.
