/heg/ Hacking & Essentials General: Space Poff Takeover Edition

Are there any rom hacks that enforce nuzlocke?

>>33228872
Dunno. I just made this thread.

>>33228877
No problem. I just never play nuzlocke because I'm always on the go and I hate to have to write shit. A Nuzlocke enforced rom would be beyond awesome.

If you don't make any money out of it and keep your cover low, Nintendo's going to ignore your game.

>>33228867
I'm not sure what exactly is going on.
I caught Entei and Raikou while they were roaming. Got the Clear Bell from beating Team Rocket at the Radio Tower. Fought Suicune and caught it. After catching Suicune, Eusine and the three Elders enter the room. The event plays out, Eusine leaves and you can talk to the Elders. The three Elders are standing in a row and you can talk with all of them. But when you walk to the top of the room, the three Elders are also there. Talk to one and he makes the stairway to the roof appear.

However, if you leave the room, then reenter, the three Elders who were at the top of the room are no longer there. If you hadn't talked to them, there's no way to make the stairs appear. The three Elders are hanging out around the middle and only talk about the two towers.

My goal is to make it so when you catch the three beasts, you'll be given the Rainbow Wing and you can fight Ho-oh, but I'm getting stuck.

Check the nuzlocke forums, I know they exist there.

The beginning of my new [vain] attempt to devamp Melemele Island to GSC tiles, and possibly beyond. Thoughts/anything I'm missing?

Yes, I ripped the tree/foliage tiles from Pia's Orange hack.

>>33229593
Not sure what I did, but now all six elders just hang out in the room even when I leave and reenter. The event and dialog all work, but I'd like it to go back to normal. Only three elders in the room at any time

>Do you like your stories serious or silly?

I like stories made in essentials. That way the developer can make their own game aesthetic to fit the story rather than simply making a slightly modified version of an official game.

>>33231350
The official games have a professional aesthetic and overall synergy. The "developers" cramming every random tileset and plugin they can find into Essentials end up with shit, and you know it.

>>33231272
well i really want to see it finished so please update us somehow when you do.

Remember: ignore the essentials poster, ignore his posts, do not fucking reply. Don't give him any attention.

>>33231437
>The "developers" cramming every random tileset and plugin they can find into Essentials end up with shit

And the developers who make original tiles and end up with their own original game end up even better than any romhack.

>>33230145
I'd play it

>>33231498
And those developers aren't the ones bragging about their choice of game engine, because they know Essentials doesn't magically make a game good. It takes work, and Essentials has limitations that need overcoming just like romhacks. Every script plugin beyond the base engine is an example of that.

Come back when you have a game worth showing off and not the same ignorant collage of other people's work that you post in every fucking thread. At least find some different screenshots for it.

Looks good so far! The layers cliffs are nicely done. But how about slightly changing the palette to make it feel more tropical? And adding a different grass texture? Even GSC had different tilesets for Johto and Kanto. Also, your rip of Pia's vine is one pixel too far to the right.

Will you be adding more places to explore? Haven't played S/M myself, but I've heard they didn't both to add houses with NPCs just for dialog, so towns are full of locked buildings with just a few plot-related ones you can enter. Plus you could invent areas for the unimplemented sites on the official map, or connect the islands with water routes instead of direct warps.

>>33229593
>>33230151
Can someone please look at my scripts

>>33230145
Nice! I'm not sure about the vines though... would normal bushes/ Headbutt trees work better?

>>33229593
>>33232590
Pay attention to which EVENTs are on and which are off, and when they got set or cleared. Check which EVENTs the elders' person_event declarations end with. If a person_event's EVENT is set, the NPC will not show up. But simply doing "setevent EVENT_BLAH" in a map script is not enough, since it will only take effect when the map reloads. You need to use "disappear BLAH_NPC", which sets the event and reloads the NPCs.

>>33232332
>because they know Essentials doesn't magically make a game good

But it does LET you make a good game in a faster period of time. Unlike romhacking.

If you want to do something in Essentials you go ahead and do it.
If you want to do something in a ROMhack you go onto /heg/ and start begging for tools.

It's sad.

The islands has larger round trees as well as the palm trees. And flowering bushes, not vines.

Can you look and see if you can find out why both sets of elders are appearing at the same time?

https://github.com/TwitchPlaysPokemon/tppcrystal251pub/blob/public/maps/TinTower1F.asm

I've been running in circles with this all day.

>>33232723
First of all, take this to /heug/. Second of all, name one good Essentials game that isn't abandoned or stuck in beta for years. Just one.

>>33232825
everything in >>33231350 except phoenix rrising and garnet

>>33232824
EVENT_WISE_TRIO_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F is off, so the first set appear. EVENT_WISE_TRIO_HANG_OUT_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F is also off, so the second set appear.

I see that TPPAC uses hard-coded values in its script commands, like "moveperson $6, $9, $f" instead of "moveperson $6, $9, $f" instead of "moveperson TINTOWER1F_SAGE1, $9, $f", which makes it harder to debug. Still, you need to check the "appear" and "disappear" commands, as well as the "setevent" and "clearevent" ones, and keep track of when those EVENTs are getting toggled.

>>33232825
Please. Stop giving him attention. That's all he craves, like a little shitpost gremlin. Please stop feeding the shitpost gremlin. It's like trying to have an actual conversation with a poorly-trained chatbot.

>>33232854
They both have to be set OFF at first.
When they start as ON, you enter the building to fight Suicune and they're all standing there. They're only supposed to enter after you fight Suicune.

>>33232830
None of those screenshots have any fucking names, but I recognize the bottom-right. It's Pokemon S.P.E.C.T.R.U.M. After more than two years it has only two gyms, and the very first one uses Dragon Rage. Try again.

Sage, Ethereal Gates, Uranium, Spectrum, Super Pokemon Eevee

>After more than two years it has only two gyms
For a guy working on the game by himself that's good progress.

>>33232883
Sounds like you mixed up on and off somewhere. All events are cleared/off by default. If an event is set/on, the corresponding NPC will be hidden. engine/std_scripts.asm:InitializeEventsScript has to turn some on at the very beginning for NPCs that should be hidden. The "appear" command turns the NPC's event off, and "disappear" turns it on.

>>33232951
One gym per year? No, it really isn't.
Sage has a whole team working on it and it's still at the demo stage.
Uranium is at least complete, but it's edgy, unbalanced, and full of bugs that can delete Pokemon, freeze the game, or make beating it impossible.
Never heard of the other two, but Ethereal Gates is also unfinished, and Eevee Edition...

I think you're the one who needs to show off their game. You seem to have a deluded idea of how long game development takes.

FYI if any of these games were rom hacks and wanted to accomplish the same things and they would either be impossible to make or take over twice as long to develop.

I didn't mix up any thing. I'm using TPPAC's script. I just want to figure out how to make it work correctly. So what would I put to make the three elders who give me the Rainbow Wing not show up until after the fight with Suicune?

>>33235426
When you enter the Tin Tower for the Suicune battle, make sure that EVENT_WISE_TRIO_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F is off and EVENT_WISE_TRIO_HANG_OUT_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F is on. Then when you want them to be capable of reacting to the Rainbow Wing and to you fighting Ho-Oh, make sure that EVENT_WISE_TRIO_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F is on and EVENT_WISE_TRIO_HANG_OUT_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F is off. Check all the scripts that may influence either of those events, including engine/std_scripts.asm:InitializeEventsScript, the callbacks and triggers in maps/TinTower1F.asm, and the scripts related to Eusine in Celadon City (if TPPAC kept that from pokecrystal).

I need a bit of help. I created a basic movement script and everything works properly and in the correct order. However, I have the NPC pathed to enter a building and when he enters the game goes black. I know Oak in Palette can enter his lab so the problem shouldn't be NPCs not being able to go in buildings.

>>33236754
Double click the event in rpg maker and make sure the character stops moving at the exact right tile. Also set a self switch to a blank event page so the NPC can disappear and the game can continue with other events.

>>33236775
Do I need rpg maker to fix shit with a romhack?

Can anyone with some RGSS knowledge help me ?
I want to display a picture over my map, but I want it to be "locked" to the map. Problem is that the .show command use coordinates relative to the screen so the picture always follow the screen.
On the same subject, how can I control the depth of the picture ? I know that the higher the picture's number the "higher" it will be displayed, but can I display a picture under the map (like a panorama) ?

>>33238350
Load your picture into the unused VTiles5 and use the changeblock commands in a map script to place the tiles in the map itself. Otherwise, you'll have to edit UpdateBGMapRow and UpdateBGMapCol in home\map.asm.

>>33238508
kek

>>33237868
Nothing. ROM hackers are just overly insecure about their game and feel the need to call Essentials bad.

>>33238350
>I want to display a picture over my map, but I want it to be "locked" to the map.

Put it into your tileset instead.

>>33238508
I didn't precise but I was talking about RPG maker
>>33238848
I basically want to map with parallax and add effects all over the map while still being able to use a regular fog. Also my layers are all used so I can't just put tiles on top of everything.

>>33235926
This is going to sound extremely amateurish, but at the bottom of all map files it lists the sprites, they're location, their scripts, and also it lists events. Are those events just tying said event to a sprite?

>>33235926
Also, don't you have this backwards.
EVENT_WISE_TRIO_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F is the trio who talks about the beasts and the towers

EVENT_WISE_TRIO_HANG_OUT_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F is the trio who gives the Rainbow Wing.

So after the fight with Suicune, the EVENT_WISE_TRIO_HANG_OUT_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F should be set (to make the trio who give the Rainbow Wing go away)

But in the callbacks and triggers, it should look to see if all beasts were captured. If they were, it should setevent EVENT_WISE_TRIO_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F and clearevent EVENT_WISE_TRIO_HANG_OUT_IN_TIN_TOWER_1F

This allows the trio who gives the Rainbow Wing to appear, correct?

Also, I checked the engine/std_scripts.asm as you said. Both events are set

Most ROMhacks not made via disassembly should be able to trade and battle just fine with copies of itself. Ones that are made with disassembly can also have it if the author made sure not to break it, though in the case of Prism's unfinished leaked build that wasn't the case.

>>33229333

Are those yellow trees significant?

So how much free space is in Fire Red exactly? Or roughly? I ask because I have to keep rewriting scripts and finding new free space and just wanna make sure I don't run out for big events or whatever.

>>33244495
what happens when quints

>>33245602
you can always clean out the old shit

>>33245602
Over 8MB, which is half the ROM. You can get another 16MB by expanding it, but the GBA can't handle anything bigger than 32MB total.

So I went through all the moves in PGE for Fire Red and changed what needed to be special accordingly, but does it matter that status moves still say physical?

>>33245602
Basically this: >>33245714. Are you making a whole new region or just adding on to Kanto/Sevii? If the former, yeah, clean out all the old shit. If the latter, then, as >>33245716 said, there should be plenty of space if you don't waste it.

>>33245858
Pretty much just wanna add talking scripts, like 5-10 cutscenes, some givepokemon and movement stuff. Real basic.

>>33245987
It's unlikely those will be more than a few kilobytes total at max, so you should be fine. The first half of the ROM is literally the entire game, so if you're not making something that size you'll have no problems finding enough space.

>>33245003

Battle engine is almost near full functionality. Whats left right now is to completely finish the system that passes methods from moves/abilities/items and what not to the battle instance.
Once that is done I'll start actually adding in some actual move and ability data, with some Spirits too. Maybe a full 24 or so to start with.
After that I'll move on to the network/multiplayer code to get two clients connected, and then to interface with a central server.

>>33237868
It has its strengths and weaknesses, but most of the people here feel really, really superior about one or the other. To be honest, there's great stuff and terrible stuff from both ROM hacking and Essentials; both really just depend on how much work you're willing to put in.

>>33234416
These are looking really nice, but if you're gonna use GSC tilesets as a base, remember that everything has to be a 2x2 grid.

>>33257937
Take a look at the ferryman's script, there's a flag or var that needs to be set for each of the passes and tickets before they will work.

>>33258034
>remember that everything has to be a 2x2 grid
Right, and if you look at tiles in Prism and other hacks, nothing says you can't edit the contents of those 2x2 (actually, 32x32) grid tiles.

Everything you see has been loaded into a ROM and appears fine.

I didn't mean 2x2 as in the pixel count. I'm talking about how everything is 4 tiles in a 2x2 layout. There are parts of your map that don't follow that; like the grass and everything about the school yard, and the path in front of the player house is 3 wide. You don't have to do this obviously, but if you want it to look as nice as possible, follow the style you're using.

Goodnight bump

Is there a way of adding the "select three Pokemon" thing to gym battles?

is it possible to have full network/online trading capabilities with just emulators?
is it possible to transfer gen 1/2 to gen 3 with just emulators?

>>33263220
>is it possible to have full network/online trading capabilities with just emulators?

No.

Better get to work on that Essentials game buddy.

can you transfer gen 1 saves from old cartriges to the 3ds ports through some combination of 3rd party hardware?

>>33263385
assuming your 3ds is hacked i read some anon talking about a way to do just that. can't remember what he said but yes it is possible.

>>33263405
what about transferring them to sun and moon after that?

>>33263207
In Essentials yes. In a ROM hack? LOL good fucking luck.

>>33263952
>Essentials
Move that shit to the recycle bin where it belongs and either wait for the unity engine or use a disassembly.

>>33240778
>>33240801
The flags and variables you're using are not safe at all. You want to stick to the 0x200 to 0x2FF range for flags, and the 0x4011 to 0x40FF range for variables.

You should always just use waitmovement 0x0, there's no use in specifying the second parameter as anything other than 0.

You want to use the setdooropened, doorchange, setdoorclosed and hidesprite commands to make it look like the person event is going inside a building; use XSE's F1 to find out more about how to use those commands.

I suspect the reason you're getting a black screen is from the flags / variables, if not it may just be something else in your map that's fucking up.

So I guess this this place to ask. Anyone know if Pokemon Polished Crystal was updated? I could of sworn that that the 3.0 update was posted on /v/ a few weeks ago

>>33269599
3.0 isn't out yet but there's a public playtest beta for 3.0 right now. It doesn't have everything planned for 3.0 and is mainly there to fix bugs.

what's a space poff?

>>33263220
>>33263222
Emulator devs go out of their way to deliberately cripple wifi and if they didn't people's emulators would probably get banned from WFC anyway.

You can move pkm files in between versions using pkhex in romhacks but any Essentials Pokemon can't be transferred which is annoying.

Using assembly for Pokemon Crystal, specifically TPPAC, I'm trying to make a script that turns the surf sprite blue while surfing.
For guys it's red, for girls it's always blue.
But is there a script I can add to the surf function that will change the players pallet to blue then back to red?

There's a boutique in TPPAC that allows the player to change their pallet, but not sure how to implement that.

>>33275130
Why not just make ethan blue all of the time? :)

what's the exact reason why emulators can't have legit networking capabilities?

>>33275618
Oh they can
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuOXOYMDxEw

>>33275754
is that a legit connection or is it some unofficial network of other emulators?

>>33275578
ehh I've tried it, just doesn't look right with the sprite I'm using

>>33271602
To be clear, only desmume's dev intentionally sabotaged networking features.
As for emulators getting banned, it's true but there are ways around it. For example, Dolphin users can use a program to generate a unique set of required files for online play. And even then, you could only be banned if you were caught cheating.

>>33275921
That was back when desmume had functional networking. Nintendo's servers would see it as just another NDS connecting.
The dev intentionally broke and then removed the networking features for "reasons". I don't quite remember, but I think he claimed that he didn't want to attract any attention from Nintendo, but he broke local communications like Download Play as well.

>>33277448
So would an older version of the emulator work for that?

>>33277471
Now that the nds servers are down, it's completely useless.
>>33277448
The dev probably felt terrible because sega announced that phantasy star 0 had more online players than it had copies sold, by a large margin.

>>33277540
It wouldn't be completely useless if you patched the games to connect to Wiimmfi.
https://wiimmfi.de/stat?m=28
There are already a handful of people who already connect to those servers once in a blue moon.

>>33277565
This would be great for a romhack.
The hack could patch in support for Wiimmfi and either the hack creator or the community could have a server specifically for that game.

If only gen IV and V romhacking was more robust.

>>33230145
You doing a demake?That'd be cool,I Iike those.

Are there any "catch 'em all" Emerald hacks that add in the physical/special split?

>>33278231
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcPJYYZhdNM

>>33278713
I'm not a huge fan of the sprites shown in the video, as they're either too big for the GBA or seem to be missing some edge pixels. But thank you for that, it gave me the lead I needed to find this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/207c8s/pokemon_emerald_physicalspecial_move_splitter/cg315sn/

Apparently, someone (likely from this thread) made a hack of Emerald with 386 Pokemon, running indoors, the physical/special split, and "fixed" capitalization.
This is even better than what I was willing to settle for.

There are even options for Moemon if you're a faggot, and a non-386 version.

So, what hacks and essentials games are actually worth playing?

Brown and Prism are a must. The former is one of the oldest "worthwhile" hacks" and the latter is a decade-long-made labor of love sequel.
Gaia is a really impressive beta and actually has real, fully-functional Mega Evolution, on top of implementing a ton of later-Gen Pokémon with their proper abilities and gimmicks and such. It's been a while since that beta and I don't pay attention to Gen 3 enough to see if any other hacks have used that Mega Evolution code.
I'm admittedly biased toward Gen 1 and 2 hacks. Maize is a cool beta especially since its latest beta was done traditionally (it's since been ported to disassembly but nothing new has been released with that), and Red++ and Polished Crystal are both well-done Gen 1 and 2 modernization hacks and the latter adds a lot of custom content.

Also Essentials is shit ignore the shitposter who replied to you earlier

why does every gamedev thread have one autist who bitches about engines?

>>33280887
Tradition

Here's an idea to keep this thread interesting during the lull time when everyone's working on their shit and, thus, not posting anything:

Post the ideas/stories/etc. for potential hacks that you, presently, have no plans to actually make.

Who knows? Someone looking for an idea themselves might just pick up your idea and start hacking it. That, or it'll just let the "idea guys" among us shoot some shit.

I'll start: Team Rocket alternate path in Red. Everything is vanilla until you reach the Rocket grunt at the end of Nugget Bridge. Instead of being unable to say "Yes" to his offer to join Team Rocket, you would be unable to say "No." The rest of the game would be you getting involved in all the vanilla game Rocket plotlines, but on the other side. Like, you would be part of the Lavender Pokémon Tower and Silph Co. raids, battling those trying to stop Team Rocket. Probably would be a story connecting Mr. Fuji, the Mew diaries in the Pokémon Mansion, Giovanni, the Master Ball, and Mewtwo in the Cerulean Cave. You'd still collect the remaining badges and what not; you'd just be a bad guy working for Giovanni.

In short, an AU hack where Red is forced to choose the villain path in his theoretical branching-path story.

>>33280887
Insecure ROM hackers, mostly.

Anyone have a link for the updated version of Pokemon Pink? (Version 2.1) ?

>>33282373
But the first person who started the shitflinging in this thread, and the person who starts the shitflinging in EVERY thread, is this autist here >>33231350

>>33281849
To expand on that: we can make it go full edge mode at the first branch of the plot, with the nugget grunt straight up threatening to kill you if you don't do what they say. Then we can expand it and branch out from there, with the option to gleefully follow each and every order or the option to fight them every step of the way.
By the way, both Blaine and Fuji worked in the cinnabar mansion.

since insurgence is having it's final release today, can someone tell me if it's just as shit as the rest of that hacks games? reborn, rejuvenation, etc.

>>33283354
It's an Essentials-made game, so it's shit.

>>33283054
Doesn't matter who started it if insecure ROM hackers are the ones constantly propagating it. Case in point >>33283421

>>33283445
It does matter who started it. If Essentialsfags never started it, then the only way for drama to propagate is if ROMhackers decided to start it instead. Since they haven't started it yet, Essentialsfags stirring the pot make them the primary propagators.

>>33228867
Cyber Jar is that you?

>>33283354
Insurgeance isn't made by the hacks who did Reborn or Rejuvenation, they're the hacks who made Zeta/Omicron. I haven't played Insurgeance but ZO is what turned me off of Essentials in the first place before even worse games like Reborn, Rejuvination, and Pokémon Aegis (a.k.a. Pokémon Dindu Version and Nuffin Version) cemented those feelings.

>>33283354
Insurgence is better than Reborn, but the story is just as terrible

>>33281849
So many people have suggested this idea and nobody's done anything with it. Now that pokered exists, it shouldn't be too hard to just get started on it.

>>33284554
That's what I'm thinking. I mean, look at this: >>33234787

7 years ago, people literally said an authentic-looking recreation of that story's Red hack was impossible. Not difficult; literally impossible.

Guess what? I played it so far up to Mt. Moon. Feels just like the story. These diassembly projects have opened so many doors for hacking, there's no wonder Red++ and Polished Crystal are able to do what they've done. I really hope new gen 1/2 hacks continue to be made.

Insurgence 1.2 update, which is a full 8 gym + League game, has just come out.

If you don't mind fanmade Megas and Deltas (which are just Regional forms but more over the top) you should check it out, I played it months ago and enjoyed it. It has a pretty edgy storyline but you can play a lighter mode that tones it down to the level of mainline games.

>>33290640
That's interesting, but all I gather from that is I should be looking for a Pokemon Essentials game.
>>33290645

>>33290504
Vega.

do the emulators require any sort of hardware passthrough?

>>33290504
Sage for authenticity but it's slow as fuck and it's demo only goes to the third fucking gym.

If you want a laugh at some terrible fangames play Quartz and Deadwood.

If you like edgy shit and you jack off to Weavile, play Reborn and Insurgence.

If you want a challenge play BlazeBlack/VoltWhite.

If you're a genwunner, play Ash Grey.

>>33292281
Is there any reason to play uranium?

>>33292281
I was told Insurgence had a lighter storyline that made its tone closer to that of a typical main series game. Do you know if that's accurate, or is it still pretty edgy?

>>33287453

tell me, is it supposed to be an autumn forest or is 1/4 of the countryside on fire

>>33283354

>>33294540
Not me but it's obviously autumn forest that was set on fire

>>33296841
I get it.
but i don't get it.

>>33285389
How about instead, do three admins and a leader.
Each admin controls a Regi and the leader controls Gigas. Or if you want to keep the four admins, have the player battle against only one admin per regi, then before battling the leader's Regigigas, the final admin battles you with the Regi trio.

how do i get a 3ds to display on my monitor?

>>33290504
>>33290886
>>33291386
Ash Gray and Ruby Destiny are the only ones to avoid. They're barely playable and they look like shit. They aren't even bad enough to laugh at.

Pokemon My Ass version is fun if you're a 13 year old who thinks naked people and sex is the pinnacle of comedy.

Play Pokemon Quartz & Snakewood for a laff. Quartz is full of crappy MS Paint scribble fakemon and broken English. Snakewood tries to be this post apocalyptic zombie horror game that takes place in a destroyed Hoenn, but there's a sideplot about psychics and cultists and the story just falls on its ass around Mauville Town. Some of the battles get infuriating so you can ragequit whenever it feels like it's overstaying its welcome.

Insurgence, Rejuvination & Reborn put a unique spin on the formula. Don't play them in sequence because they're very samey. One has Shadow Pokemon, one has Delta Pokemon, and one has a custom form of Pokemon that are like bossfights. I do NOT know which goes to which.

If you have a sense of humor play Clover. They make racist/homophobic/antisemitic jokes so if you get offended easily you'll wanna shy away from it.

Play BlazeBlack/VoltWhite & Sacred Gold/Storm Silver if you want difficulty hacks.

Play Pokemon Prism & Brown if you want something genuinely good. They really raise the bar on fangames.

Uranium, Solar Light/Lunar Dark, and Sage try to be as authentic as possible. There's fakemon and that's really it. Uranium introduces a new type but does little to nothing with it. Very by-the-numbers There's no interesting setpieces in the games. Sage's excuse is that it's still in development but it's been years and we only got a 3-gym demo like a week ago. It's never getting finished.

I've heard good things about FireRed Backwards, Tohoumon, and Pokemon Vega.

Moemon is just a reskin that turns all the mons into cute girls. Just download the sprite sheet if you want to look at the cute Pokegirls.

This might not be the place to ask, but does anyone have a pre-patched .CIA of Pokemon Nova Sun?

"First they came for Verizon, and I did not care because I was not Verizon..."

>>33302386
Honestly, probably the latter. Depending on the direction taken with the Rocket Red story, maybe Blue and the Elite Four might try to stop you. It depends on whether Red is operating as a full-blown Team Rocket grunt/member, or is undercover, continuing to pose as a normal trainer while actually doing jobs for Team Rocket, and Blue/Oak/etc. only realize this after you become champion and, alongside Giovanni, go after Mewtwo.

>>33302601
Do you get the option to betray him at the last second and take it for yourself? That would be really cool.

Maybe have your obey/rebel choices up to that point effect whether he sees it coming?

>>33302667
>Do you get the option to betray him at the last second and take it for yourself? That would be really cool.
I was just thinking that. I mean, if Red is the one who catches Mewtwo with the Master Ball, he might have the option to hand him over to Giovanni and become his second-in-command, or to refuse, battle and defeat him, and seize control of Team Rocket.

I think a version of GSC in this timeline would also be interesting, with a dystopian Kanto under his grip and NPCs talking cryptically about a "young kid and his super powerful psychic Pokémon."

I want to have a snoop through one of the Wii pokemon games code. Trying to find something to disassemble it though. PowerPC 750 assembly, right?

All I've been able to find that works is onlinedisassembler.com, but it only lets me run small chunks of code at a time. I need something that can convert the entire .wad file so I can start weeding through it.

Any suggestions?
