Sooo I don't have another beta for y'all yet, although I have been working on it more recently (motivation is hard to find in the post-tower portion of the game). I do have some super-late replies though:
First off, Chibi Wakasagahime learns bubblebeam at lv 8. I'm assuming that was supposed to be bubble, since she learns the weaker water pulse a bit down the line.
Fixed. (30% confuse proc > 5 BP in my opinion though)
Next, I hit a glitch where if I wipe the save file and start over, the pokedex has the pokemon caught matching what you had before you reset. so I could have just got my Chibi Reisen and have 30 puppets listed as caught.
Fixed- it was a simple issue with the new flags not clearing on a new file (the game loads them all when you go to the main menu).
And finally, the TM for poison jab still gets picked up rarely via pickup. perhaps change it to something like return, secret power, or skill swap?
I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to be doing with all the TMs yet- I plan to shuffle them around later once I've got the basic game laid out, since there's other stupidly placed ones like Swagger outside Rock Tunnel and Signal Beam in the Rocket Hideout. I'd rather not make Poison Jab super-hidden though so having it be via Pickup is fine for now.
I'm assuming the Chibi Kurumi for Chibi Seija trade's not going to be in the full version.
same thing with the other trades, actually. Chibi Gengetsu for... Chibi Ichirin?
I'm afraid I don't see the issue with these- neither of those puppets was available early (although I've since tucked Ichirin somewhere before Misty so that one might change).
I managed to fish up a lv 20 Chibi Hina on my first old rod fish. dunno how rare that is, but...
Old Rod encounters range from 15 to 20, which isn't a far cry from the 17-19 wilds outside Vermillion and the 17-20 wilds in the tunnel.
Ah yes, you may know about that but you should replace the original playable trainers by Renko and Mary, that's it.
I don't intend to replace the protagonists.
Just curios if I start playing this hack now will I be able to use my sav for later releases?
You can use it, but the working build has a slightly shifted dex order due to AMiko/DMiko/AKokoro/ASukuna rejoining the cast, so your dex pages will be somewhat nonsensical in the new version. Not that big of an issue unless you want to catch 'em all for some reason, in which case you can trivially catch them again on the new version for the pages.
Are planning on porting the extended mons from Enhanced too.
Nope nope nope nope nope. I don't even know what slots those use, but I'd rather maintain support for Emerald and I'm pretty sure they use slots occupied by TD characters, the weather trio, or 2hu.
Next beta is close to done, and will go up to Koga.
