Pokemon Origin Platinum V1.51 (Unofficial Patch)
Hack developed by Lazerith
Current Status:
Fan-patched V1.51 Working
Summary:
Pokemon Origin Platinum is a self-contained hack of Pokemon Platinum developed by Lazerith and inspired by the hacks by Drayano. Origin Platinum features the ability to obtain all 493 Pokemon without having to do any sort of events, trading, or going underground.
Features:
Pokemon Origin platinum includes the following features:
- Ability to catch all 493 Pokemon without the use of any outside source, while still being able to trade and battle with friends. Every non-legendary Pokemon can be caught before the elite four, and most added legendary Pokemon are located in post-game areas.
- Regigigas no longer requires having the Regis pokemon to catch, but has been changed to a fateful encounter so that it may allow the player to catch the other Regis Pokemon.
- Giratina now has Griseous orb held when you catch him. I know many people do not like the way he looks without it. I am one of those people.
- Items such as Metal Coat, which originally were given as a held item to allow a Pokemon to evolve by trading can now be used to evolve Pokemon in the same manner as the evolution stones.
- Pokemon that evolve by simply trading them now evolve at certain levels. Check the documents provided with the patch for more details.
- Wurmple now evolves into Silcoon/Cascoon based on its gender.
- Spiritomb no longer requires going underground and meeting 32 people to catch. Simply use the Odd Keystone where you normally would.
- Once a player has caught 492 pokemon, he/she will be given the Azure Flute by one of the residents of Sandgem Town. This item is required to catch Arceus. Catching Arceus is pretty much the goal of the game.
- Players wishing to make competitive teams using any fossil pokemon, spiritomb, or Pokemon that evolve via evolutionary items will now find that all fossils, odd keystone, and all evolution items are now sold in Veilstone Department Store.
- Event items such as Secret Key, Membership Pass, Oak's Letter, and Azure Flute are now given to you at certain parts of the game.
- The Super Rod is now given to you by Jasmine right after you beat the 8th gym. There are some pokemon that can only be, or are a lot more common when using the super rod. Check the Pokemon Locations document for more information.
- The game now features a second master ball. So don't fret if you accidentally use it. However, there are still only two in the game, so still use them sparingly.
- Many NPC's and even bookshelves, etc that used to say pointless, meaningless, and useless text have been changed to say references to various types of media such as Anime, Games, T.V. Shows, and Movies. See if you can find and understand them all. This is the one change that I have made that I didn't include a document. I figured that would ruin the fun.
- More details on these changes are included in the documents.
With the ability to catch every Pokemon, as well as all of the included references to look for, Pokemon Origin Platinum gives players a reason to talk to everyone and examine every object.

Bugs:
Several Freeze bugs occur throughout the game in the OFFICIAL patch. However, I have added a link to an UNOFFICIAL patch that was able to fix these issues.
If you encounter any problems, please pm me or post a reply so that I can fix them as fast as possible.
Most recent changes:
V1.51 - UNOFFICIAL Patch developed by Strikes on pokecommunity
Various bug fixes (spear pillar, post-game) have reportedly been fixed. I have not yet tested this patch, so I have added this patch as a separate link in the downloads section. Please download both the official download (as it contains documentation), as well as the unofficial V1.51. Also allows the hack to be applied to both of the following Platinum base roms:
Improper Dump: (This was the base of the ROM hack though)

This patch WILL work with these two dumps of the games, I still highly recommend you use a PROPER Pokemon Platinum dump (as seen above labeled "Proper Dump") so you can avoid any possible issues during the game.
V1.4
The freeze at the top of Mt. Coronet is now fixed. I have also used a save file to catch Giratina, and proceed to beating the Elite Four. All freezes that I have found along the way are now fixed. It is now possible to beat the game. Please let me know if you encounter any post-game freezes.
V1.3
Due to being able to fix the original bug found before which prevented progress beyond Mt. Coronet after the 7th badge, I have eliminated the room in Mt. Coronet. When you go into the entrance that would normally bring you too the room, it will bring it to the room afterward instead. The transition looks a bit funny, but at least it lets you progress.
V1.2
The bugs that have appeared after I rescripted the game to fix the cycling road freeze are now fixed. I have done a test playthrough and have made it past the fifth gym with absolutely no problems.
V1.1
Fixed the cycling road freeze.

Future changes:
After a LOOOOOOONG hiatus, I have the urge to get back into Pokemon hacking. As far as Pokemon Origin Platinum goes, I may try to implement additional bugfixes. But as far as actual content goes, Pokemon Origin Platinum is finished.
P.S. If I do return to Pokemon Hacking, I will be working on a project I started after I finished Origin Platinum.
Credits:
- Drayano for walking me through what programs I needed, and how to use them. Taught me how to use hex editing for this hack, and helped me check and make balances to what wild Pokemon can be found where. Also for helping me make decisions throughout my time making this hack. Drayano's Blaze Black, Volt White, Sacred Gold, and Storm Silver were what inspired me to do this project, and without him, Origin Platinum would not exist.
- Various friends of mine for helping me think of references to put into the game and looking for bugs.
- PPRE
- CrystalTile2
- TheNewPokeText
