Description

I’m working on updating the well-known Ruby hack, Pokemon Snakewood, to bring it up to modern standards. While the story and trainer battles remain unchanged for now, I’ve made several quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes to ensure a smoother gaming experience.

New Features

• Physical/Special Split
• Reusable TMs
• Repel Reuse Prompts
• Wrapping Summary Screens
• Bag Expansion
• HM Usage without sacrificing move slots
• Alpha-Blended Shadows like HGSS

Bugfixes / Changes

• Tile corruption in Littleroot Town on spawn
• Darkening of tiles after a screen fade in
• Readable text colors
• Replace Golbat’s sprite
• Fix Shop’s window tile corruption
• Field Moves have colored text in the Party Menu
• Disease type removal
• Type icons reverted to default Ruby ones
• Emerald style Save Prompt
• Colored stat values based on nature
• Repeated item usage
• Error screen for wrong save file type
• Multiple Registered Key Items
• Exp Points on capture
• Autorunning shoes
• Fix Female Player sprite issues
• More exp. points on winning battles
• Event Specific
  • Fix the palette issue for Meteor’s portrait
  • Use any Electric moves for SS Cangrejo’s elevator event
  • Avoid softlock after losing the Senex battle
  • Set respawn point in Sootopolis City before heading to Sootopolis Heights
  • Hard Disk Solo is obtained without having to catch Roclobster

WIP

• Fixing improper item names
• Fixing item description overflows
• Event Specific
  • Fixed some cutscene event movement issues
    • In Route 101, the first zombie cutscene uses the slide movements
    • In Verdanturf Ruins, both Alicia and Pestilence have their exit movements stop at the edge of the screen
    • In Mauville City, Chloe walks into the Hombone and later into the former Chef

Features from Pokemon Snakewood

• New scripts, new overworlds, new sprites – the usual
• Exciting new areas, such as the hidden Meathouse, the maddening Island of Calm and the unexpected Hoenn University of Film
• Several zombie versions of normal Pokémon (Fakemon), two of which are capturable
• 6 Denjuu
• An indeterminate number of Fakemon (somewhere between 40 and 50), including a good number of hidden evolutions to existing Pokémon
• New legendaries, some of which are very, very evil
• 7(?) Sinnoh Pokémon
• 5(?) Isshu (or Unova, depending on how much you care) Pokémon
• Most Gyms have now been destroyed by zombies, and hence Badges are come by in somewhat unusual ways
• A few type changes for Pokémon here and there:
  • Luxio => Electric/Dark
  • Luxray => Electric/Dark
  • Meowth => Normal/Dark
  • Persian => Normal/Dark
  • Seviper => Poison/Dark
  • Banette => Ghost/Fighting
  • Milotic => Water/Psychic
  • Hariyama => Fighting/Normal
• A surprising pet shop run by a certain Count
• A host of deceitful characters who will do anything to lie to you
• An unusual and somewhat wandering storyline
• An enormous number of references to books, films, manga, other hacks and other such things
• A somewhat darker plot than usual
• A slightly increased difficulty level
