Pokémon: Nuzlocke Version [Red]

Sanqui · 2011-07-29 08:58:41

Hi, this is my first hack. It doesn't do much, but I still figured I could show it off.

Features:
* Death. Your Pokémon don't faint; they die. When a Pokémon dies, it is deleted. Permanently. Fun!
* A few quick text changes to accommodate for the previous change.
* A spectacular title screen printing routine hijack to display the text Nuzlocke ver. (I didn't want to bother uncompressing Red Version, wherever it is)

Maybe I'll do the one-pokémon-per-area limitation sometime... But first I need to figure out sram. Yay asm!

Note: If you want to test it off, you'll need two Pokémon.

Just a couple of notes:

- "Red Version" graphic is really easily editable: it's 1BPP so (just for a future reference) you'd have a really easy time editing it with any tile editor (like TLP). Just set the format to 1BPP (by the way, the graphics are stored at $6802F, while tile arrangement is at $3DBAB). Certainly faster than rewrite a (even if small) part of code.

- you have an "endianness" error in your routine at $3FC80 (yeah, I gave a look at it, just out of curiosity, don't worry):

ROMF:7c80 3e 01            ld   a,01
ROMF:7c82 ea cf 0b         ld   (0bcf),a

I guess it should be:

ROMF:7c80 3e 01            ld   a,01
ROMF:7c82 ea 0b cf         ld   (cf0b),a

Apart from that it was pretty nice.

Ah, thanks. I couldn't find it around the title screen graphics, so I didn't bother. This hack is asm practice anyway :P (I did find and change the tilemap, though. I figured I'd edit the Pokémon logo's tilemap as well, but then found out it's generated dynamically, and the rest is history.)

Oh, that's the original code I had to move from where I inserted my pointcut. Guess it wasn't too important, then, since it doesn't crash horribly.

Anyway, I was thinking about how to do the Pokémon limitation... Given 128 locations (my rough guess, are there more?), I'd need 16 bytes somewhere in SRAM to store the 'pokémon encountered' flags, and after each battle of type 1, raise the location's flag (I already found a place where I could insert my advice), and block a Pokéball from being thrown if the flag for this location was raised. The Pokéball thing will probably be harder. Hm.

This is amazing! Post it on Nuzlocke forums, they'll go crazy for it over there.

Does this mean there's no pokemon center here?? that is one heck of a system if you ask me.

Well, it quite fun if we don't lose our HIGH lvl Pokemon.

Maybe, it's a good idea to make some dark music in FamiTracker to insert with Sonic65's rbyImport.

Why don't add this: when you're alone as Ash without Pokemon left you can throw rocks or candies to make the pokemon Run or stay busy so you can run away, in a fight Safari-Zone-like!

that..... doesn't sound very fun.

the purpose of this hack is to facilitate a nuzlocke run. there would be no purpose to such a trainerless battle thing; it'd ruin the point of the run in the first place

These were both mechanics in the early stages of development. I think you knew that though.

Looks good hack! :D Keep it up.

Really? That's pretty cool. Do you have a link where I can read more?

I hate to bump a year old thread but could someone please re-upload this... The link is currently down.

I have lost my old domain, so I've updated the links. I really should just remake the hack, though... Enforcing the one Pokémon per route limitation would be pretty easy now. Maybe soon.

Awesome, thank you very much.
