[MiKeMiTchi]

xvolution's guide..
is definitely a must to have besides the patch.

Praises.

Showing-off.

Thanks for the praise. I think it's 100% accurate this time.

Though, there are a few things I'm not completely certain about. Primarily how swarms work and the percentages for the special encounters (honey trees/Great Marsh game/Trophy Garden). Either swarms only appear when both slots have the same pokemon or the rival's sister only lists the pokemon in the first slot. I do know that WPEDS mistakenly lists the swarm pokemon as morning pokemon (verified by comparing the d_enc_data file with the Diamond swarming pokemon list). But that's it.

And there's no real percentage data given for the special encounters at all, though given the number of slots for each one (18 for honey trees, 64 for the marsh game and 16 for the trophy garden) I think the only percentage issue is with the honey trees.

But whatever. It's accurate enough

Thanks xvolution

Looks really polished. Great job. If you have any suggestions about some Pokemon (perhapy some are too damn hard to catch?), tell me and i'll change it (or just send me the correct narc).

Here's some progress for 1.4:
- Mystery Gift is now activated from start.
- You receive a bunch of items at start now, including event items (non functional) as well as working items such as a Bicycle, Pokéradar etc.
- You've got the Running Shoes now from the beginning on.
- You now get ALL 25 Poketch apps upon receiving the Poketch.
- You can also get ALL 25 Poketch apps when talking to the old man by the fountain in Jubilife City.

... more to come (suggestions?).

By the way, sorry guys, I can't do anything about the Shiftry etc. bug.

edit: Got a question about the Pokeradar rates. For example Rt. 202:
|Squirtle | ----- |5% |Pokeradar |
|Mudkip | ----- |5% |Pokeradar |
|Piplup | ----- |1% |Pokeradar |
|Sentret | ----- |1% |Pokeradar |

That makes up 12% in total. Shouldn't this be 100%? I mean, you ALWAYS get a Pokemon when using the Pokeradar, when running into the patch of grass.

In the "professional school" make the teacher tell you where the ev training areas are

 

[Wolfsclaw]

She already does that ....

Like I said in the guide, Pokeradar is a special encounter type. When you use Pokeradar, the pokemon under the Pokeradar section replace some of the pokemon in the main catch table (in the case of Pokeradar, they replace slots 7 [5% slot], 8 [5% slot], 11 [1% slot], and 12 [1% slot]. 5%+5%+1%+1% = 12%).

It was just way too much work to make a catch table for every special encounter type (if I did, the guide would be roughly 8x bigger than it is now

hey on what page of this thread is xvolutions pokemon location guide?

 

[alidsl]

^^page 40^^

Is there any way to make in game events?

 

[Wolfsclaw]

If you mean creating legendary pokemon one-time events, no (theoretically yes, but it's a pain in the butt).

Mike, I have set your box art as the "screenshot" in the download archive, if that's okay with you.

 

[Rashid]

Are there codes to "activate" events, if you know what I mean?

You know event items don't work alone; it's known that (usually) there are codes to activate the events. Does anyone know any? I just wanna try. ;D

 

[Wolfsclaw]

There should be cheat codes, i don't know them though (never used cheat codes myself).

I don't know the right flags yet, so i can't actually edit the ROM that way. But you're free to use cheats.

 

[alidsl]

Xvolution my brother is doing an A level in scripting and he can write a script that means you can click on an area on a map and it will show that areas pokemon etc

Can he do it??

(your permission(Your name will be in bold as original maker))

Edit: Little help

Cheat database

edit 2: can anyone get me a map of mt coronet (all caves etc in mt coronet thx in advance)

 

[Rashid]

You know, I noticed the Event Item codes on my list, but I thought it simply put it in my bag.

Now that I checked the cheat file, it states that it makes the guy at the Pokemart deliver it. This should be enough to activate the event. I'll try it soon. ~_^


Edit: Whoa! They DO work! I just used the Member Card code, press L+R, checked the Pokemart, and the guy was there. I got it, went to Canalave city and got the event working! Although even if you activate it again, you won't be able to go in.

Surprisingly, the door says: "The member card only works with an activated event!" or something. Did Gamefreak put that there on purpose, or did you edit that in, Wolfsclaw?

Either way, it's good to know I can get legit legendaries. xD (and by using my 1337 save-copying skills, I can get as many as I can.. fu fu fu...)

 

[alidsl]

You cheat worse than me XD

Note: I didn't make all those myself (I made ghost mode but that was just merging XD)

 

[Wolfsclaw]

I put that in

 

[alidsl]

try cycling in ghost mode

Edit: Rashid if you don't want to keep copying sav files then all you have to do is use pokesav and uncheck the event flag boxes XD

Go right ahead. That may actually be very helpful. But note that when a new version of PPEE comes out, pokemon locations may change.

 

[Wolfsclaw]

Now I don't want to tease you guys or anything, but ...


If just anyone could create 4th Gen-like sprites for 1-3rd Gen legendaries...

 

[alidsl]

Try and make it so that if you talk to a certain person you unlock darkrai in verity cave

(Thx xvolution)

 

[thehuntison6]
