FireRed hack: Pokémon Radical Red (VERSION 4.1 RELEASED! Gen 9 DLC Pokemon, Character Customization now available!)

[soupercell]

Guess I got really unlucky then.
And I saw a what Im assuming is a bug. Its that gunk shot hit when I was in the first turn of Fly

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/No_Guard_(Ability)

Spoiler:

Bug report:
I was on Route 20, got a random double wild encounter (I activated it with the NPC in Fuschia City), clicked "Flee" button, and then got in an infinite loop of
"There is no PP left for this move!"
Had to force restart the emulator, losing a good hour or two of progress >_<

I had Rotom-Wash in second position with 0 PP left in Thunderbolt in his first move, but I only pressed Flee at the start of battle so yeah..
-----------
EDIT:
This bug happens again, under the same circonstances.
Go in a wild double battle, with a pokemon in 2nd position with 0 PP left in his first move, and when using "Flee"

Interestingly, if I put Rotom-Wash's Thunderbolt with 0 PP left in any other position than its first move, then this bug does not happen 0_0

--------------------
EDIT2:
Another bug:
Farfetch'd is holding Leak Stick, which boosts his Critical ratio by +2
His Hidden Ability Blademaster also boosts select moves' Critical ratio by +1, notably Sacred Sword
I just made him use Sacred Sword against Leader Jasmine's Melmetal in Cinnabar's Lab and it didn't crit 0_0
I checked and Melmetal shouldn't have any ability preventing crits, especially since you made him have Clear Body (prevents lowering of stats) now.
Not sure if there is an held item that would prevent crits either

-> Also happened vs Steelix.
I guess you either didn't program the +2 crit ratio to Leak Stick, the +1 to Blademaster or forgot to make Sacred Sword eligible, OR that this game's engine needs +4 instead of +3 for 100% crit chance ?

EDIT:
Found it in patch notes, too bad that renders the Leak Duck much less awesome/broken, but it's still worth I guess with Drill Peck & Leaf Blade

the double battle is a known bug, please read the bug reports before reporting

When you say this game "will not work on real hardware", does that include real GBAs themselves? It's an obvious dealbreaker if a GBA hack can't be played on GBA, considering it'll break emulation at some undetermined future point.

that is the reason this hack is being recreated from scratch lol

Helioptile gives yellow, Bellsprout gives green, Golduck has blue shards

Yeah well you should put it more plainly cause I don't see it as of now:

Trying to catch a Pokemon in a Double wild battle while your other Pokemon is locked into a Choice move will lead to an infinite loop, soft locking the game
Your game may get soft locked in Double battles with the text "There's no PP left for this move left."

It's neither random nor while trying to catch anything nor is it while holding a Choice item at all.

It's very reproducible:
Just put a pokemon with 0 PP left in its first move into 2nd position, press FLEE during any wild double battle and enjoy 😅

You should add it as a warning for others at least, it's not random at all lol

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

Thanks bro.

You can see which Pokemon has which held item in its common (50% chance) and rare slot (5% chance) in one of the docs by the way.

it's already a warning in 2.0; i've already plastered it on known bugs so i've no idea what you want lmao it's a 2 week old beta ffs

Anyway, I was reading about Cursed Body and that reminded me something

Cursed body sometimes disables the wrong move or no move at all.

Per Bulbapedia:

When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damaging move, there is a 30% chance that the Cursed Body will disable that move of the attacking Pokémon for 4 turns (including the turn Cursed Body activates).
Cursed Body can activate even if the attacker is behind a substitute or if the Pokémon with Cursed Body is knocked out, but will not activate if the attack hits the substitute of the Pokémon with Cursed Body. [...]

I noticed that a lot of the time, Gengar get KO'd by a move, text box states that that specific move has been disabled / cursed.
Next turn I send my next pokemon, he proceeds to gets hit by the same exact specific move LOL
Shouldn't the Disable last for 4 turns? 😅
I checked and nowhere does it say that the Cursed Body pokemon has to survive a hit for the Disable to go on for 3 more turns after the activation.


--------------
By the way, is there a text file containing all the move tutor moves that each pokemon can learn?
Or the new moves they get as Level Up (like Level 1) that they shouldn't learn.

I didn't see some of the changes/additions in changelogs, such as, for exemple:
Gyarados able to learn Power Whip (Grass) from the Super Nerd move tutor in Cinnabar Island's Pokémon Lab (he shouldn't be able to)
Keldeo able to learn Aura Sphere from that same move tutor as well, where he shouldn't be able to either
Zapdos able to learn Bolt Beak as a Lv 1 move (!!) etc.

I guess those additions are supposed to be found in the New Learnsets, TM_HM, and Move Tutor compatibility.docx text file, but it wasn't updated to latest version to reflect its latest changes?

It's fine if there isn't a way to compile a text file for those changes. It's fun to check each move in the excitment to see if my mons are eligible :D

I got all three of the swords of justice where do I find Keldeo?

Darn it's hard to beat Ariana and Archer in cerulean cave even with my best mons

Darn it's hard to beat Ariana and Archer in cerulean cave even with my best mons

lol I'm exactly at that point. I grinded 350K by fishing Luvdiscs in Pallet Town and Thief'ing them for their 4,500$ Heart Scales;
Now I got a perfect IVs Ditto, too bad you can't get Destiny Knot until after that battle (pass 5 IVs from combined parents' 12 at Day Care instead of 3).

Time to breed some over used mons such as Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Blaziken, maybe Lucario (can't get his Mega Stone for now though since I'm missing Swampert gift pokemon as of now)...

I didn't expect a romhack to make me resort to use entry hazards, removers, status etc.

Usually I just fish a Magikarp with the first Old Rod I get, babysit it until I get Gyarados, and with or without Moxie, a Dragon Dance or two with Waterfall, Crunch, Ice Fang/Earthquake would allow him to sweep the whole game alone LMAO

 

[Gadget23]

Gonna have to try that strategy to get a riolu lol cause apparently I sold my amulet coin by accident

 

[nemesish]

All you need is good strategy.
I mean my main team has an Ariados... an ARIADOS! And even with that I won that battle.

Main team: Ariados, Krookodile, Lapras, Florges, Talonflame, Ampharos.

 

[Gadget23]

Really I assumed I could just brute force it

Yeah well usually Gyarados can sweep through most stuff alone still in this game.
The only couple of difficult fights were like Giovanni with his sand team for example.

But in the Cerulean Cave case, you have TWO FIGHTS in a row, and they have a bunch of priority moves (Ice Shard, Shadow Sneak, Sucker Punch...) plus the usual Rock Stealth entry hazards. Oh, and Choice Band/Scarf sweepers that can one shot you faster than you can move :D

Anyway, game just black screen locked right now when I was done EV training Toxapex, Ferrothorn and Greninja (all with 3-4 perfect IVs in the adequate stats) so yeah, there goes my 5 hours of playtime in the afternoon. Last save was in Rock Tunnel cave where I was searching for Ferroseed, before going to capture a Mareanie and farm Heart Scales ...

I'm just gonna use my usual mons, too lazy to farm again zzz

 

[Gadget23]

My current team is Greninja, Gardevoir, Mimikyu, Aegislash, Alolan Muk and Krookodile

[zRoseQueen]

I have one question, if I breed my Cyndaquil who doesn't have his Hidden Abillity with a Ditto with his hidden, is possible to born a Cyndaquil with his hidden?

And if not, is possible to get more Bottle Cap in the game?

See ya, luv your game

You can steal Bottle Caps from Delibirds at Seafoam.
