Heya~~!

This week I've been mostly working on a new fakemon (made by me this time😄) and closing some open stuff on the ROMhack, such as the TM list, which is 100% needed to have an accurate teachable learnset for my new fakemons.

Last week update:

• Devlog #8.5
• Devlog #8

IMPLEMENTATIONS

• Added to the game the list of 147 TMs, and successfully replaced the ones of base emerald.
  • I will need to redo descriptions and add new ones to the decomp though
• Created and implemented a new ability for Palestram / Pankramos
  • Training Rythm: Increases the next Physical attack by x1.3 after a status move is used

POKEMON

• Completed movepool for:
  • Combrisk / Claciquen
  • Aurelotus
  • Palestram / Pankramos

MAPPING

• Made the first iteration of Route002
  • Missing some trainer battles and event sequence that introduces team Lethe and rival Dahlia.
• Changed some wild encounters so that Kalos starters may be catchable through dexnav's hidden encounter feature

MISC

• Did some templates for showcasing fakemons for future devlogs, mainly a personal thing

~~~~~~~

And that's all for this week! I'll be checking you comments and will answer any question, have a great weekend!

Heya~~!

Doing the devlog a bit earlier than usual, since I don't think there will be many changes over the next hours (and I want to play Champions a bit, tbh 🤣)

UI

• Made Custom UI designs (and implemented them in-game) of the trainer cards.
  • As of now, there's only a front card available. Whenever I'll need a back for it, I'll come up with new art for that part

PLAYER CHARACTERS

• Added new sprites for both player characters in-game
  • Back animations based on the commissioned sprite by IronFanton
  • Walking & Running sprites
  • Fishing sprites
• As it can be seen on the image, I've reserved 3 colors on the palette to be used for the hair, and there's other 3 colors reserved for the skin tone.
  • Customization is not implemented, but doing this helps me have it prepared for the time I go into it (whenever / if I implement it)

POKEMON

• Aurelotus, the relic halo Pokémon, has been implemented in-game. Art made by the same artist that was commissioned Combrisk and Claciquen.
  • Sprites and placement ✅
  • Mega Sol not implemented in-game yet ❌
  • Stats ✅
  • Moves ❌

MAPPING

• Skalista's Gym (Endurance Badge) is finished. A simple ice puzzle to start the adventure.
• Added a Quest Giver on Skalista's PokeCenter, which give the player the EXP Share if they've defeated all trainers on Route001
• Added the fisherman's home, which gives the player the old rod quite early.

MISC

• Started tweaking the Team Lethe grunt to have some variants. I'll keep working on it until finding something interesting, but I don't really want to remove the cloak since it's part of their visual identity 🤔.
• Change Budbitt's line (grass starter) hidden ability to Bulletproof
• Fixed issues with battle transitions
• 75 people on Discord! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Join if you want to get daily updates and give some early feedback ☺️

Next Steps

• Complete Skalista City
  • Add all the remaining indoors for Skalista City
  • Add NPCs outdoors
• Start Route 002
  • Have encounter with Rival Dahlia (second rival)
  • Add Trainers and Wild mons
• Start Cave 1(tentative name: Mneme Grotto)
  • First encounter with Team Lethe
