Steel still resists Dark
Will there be plans to change it?
I totally forgot that was a thing. Yes, 1.3.5 has it.
Love the game, I chose Hard Mode + level cap + EV and IV scaling for trainers and the game is much more challenging now !
And by the way, you can soft reset for a shiny, I found a Shiny Mudkip myself after 5000+ SRs
Would it be possible to rename our Pokémon whenever we want by clicking on them on the party menu ?
Also, can you add some of the options from the start of the game directly on the option menu too ? Like choosing between Reusable HM/unique HM, etc.
And last, and maybe my most wanted feature, I love the Day/Night cycle, it's very well done, but would it be possible to add some orange-ish background for battles during the evening ? Maybe between like 6PM to 8PM or something like that ?
And thank you again for your hard work !
Couldn't find an answer but I am loving this rom hack so far! Just wondering if there is a way to keep it AS VANILLA as possible like keeping canon base stats and typing for pokemon? I'm cool with modern typing (eg Azumarill being Fairy type) but some of the non canon changes aren't my cup of tea. Thanks for the amazing hack though, probably my favorite version of Emerald.
I would love to create a totally modular hack-rom, and although not impossible, it requires too much time and it does not fill my vision for my hack-rom. Modern Emerald, as modular as it already is in many aspects, is a modernization of Pokémon Emerald and not a modular version of Emerald. I appreciate your comments and, in the future, I plan on making certain features modular so they can please everyone. I cannot guarantee that exactly what you ask becomes modular, but it's on the list.
Today I will also release 1.3.5, which notoriously fixes Leafeon's ability. This is the full changelog:
- Hard mode is now harder.
- Paralysis doesn't affect electric types.
- Steel doesn't resist Dark.
- Spinda has had a cool buff. BST has been increased by 10 in every stat and it can learn Superpower. When using Superpower, it has a 50% chance of increasing the stats instead of decreasing them (like a 50% chance Contrary). Spinda has also a 1% chance of multiplying any damage by 2x. Not the best Pokémon, but certainly interesting.
- Coins are half the price in the Game Corner.
- Stat Reducing Berries now spawn in Route 123 (They will be there only if you start a new game, as they are set during it. You can still obtain them the usual way).
- Stat Reducing Berries can now be used repeatedly without closing the party menu, and "Use" has been moved as the first option in the bag.
- Battle Frontier now loads different sets of Pokémon according to the option "Physical / Special Split" (it was loaded in 1.3.4, but now all data has been finished).
-
Debug menu can be enabled by everybody so you can cheat or modify whatever you want. To enable it, just press "SELECT" + "START" inside the options menu and you'll hear a noise. Pressing "START" to open the menu from that moment will show a "DEBUG" option at the bottom. It can also be opened with "R" + "START". Be careful, using certain options can break your save so I'm not responsible for any misuse.
I'll release it in a few hours after I test it and fix any minor bugs.
Next updates will focus on modularity, not on new features.
Edit: 1.3.5 out
