I wasn't sure if you got my msg in SAX but LAT1OS, when you forfeit, it doesn't bring you to the save menu. Just sayin

That's a good idea, but my main concern is that if I use the party sprites for the front sprites, it'll be stylistically inconsistent with how it looks in the original game. I think that what I'll do is generate grayscale sprites from the front sprites and party sprites, then if the party sprites look a lot better than the front sprites, I'll selectively replace them.



Hm, I guess this means that the game won't be compatible with DCS until I port it. I did a little debugging, and it seems like the problem occurs in the DCS implementation of the SwapRAM routine. My guess is that forcing the routine to swap 8000 bytes of RAM causes it to somehow go into an infinite loop.

I'm going to keep the white on gray text, because that looks closer to the graphics of the original Emerald game. Also, there are some technical hurdles involving buffer drawing that makes it inconvenient to do black on gray text. The game will temporarily change the contrast of your calculator, but when you exit out of the program the contrast will be restored to what it originally was.



That's interesting; so it looks like the French version of TI calculators are all one number lower than their US counterparts. It's kind of confusing though, why would TI decide to use a naming scheme like that?



I see, I'll change it so that you return to the main menu after forfeiting, if that's more helpful.

I amazed you knew of my project! And you're right. I drew 3 frames of each of the first 151 pokemon, and by the end of it I was just pooped out too much to actually work on the game.

Writing it in basic wasn't meant to be a challenge, even though it was. I just couldn't be arsed to learn assembly at the time.

LAT1OS, through testing I figured out Metronome does nothing, making Clefable not be able to attack.



No, because then it would still quit. When I won 3 matches and then forfeit, then it quit my game without going to the highscore table when I should've been on it. That's the problem, not that it quits the entire game.

Wow, you drew all of the kanto pokemon yourself? That must have taken a lot of effort, no wonder why your sprites look so good. Trying to draw decent grayscale sprites without a mouse was too frustrating for me, I gave up after the first 3 pokemon, haha. I'd much rather automate the process, anyway.

Yeah, basic is so much more fun to program / debug with than assembly. I think the only downside is all of the obfuscated tricks that are needed to make up for the speed.



I know, Metronome hasn't been implemented yet, since its only used by one pokemon. In fact, here's a list of moves that are not implemented: spikes, jump kick, aromatherapy, sky attack, smellingsalt, belly drum, grudge, memento, nightmare, pain split, pursuit, skill swap, substitute, torment, petal dance + thrash.

Oh, I see, so you want the forfeit option to let you set a new record, after winning some number of battles. Right, I think I'll change it so that if you voluntarily forfeit a match, it'll take you to the highscore screen, but if you press 'Quit' in the middle of a match, it'll exit the game.

I'd be happy to help debug why Doors CS isn't happy with the current version if you'd like, since needless to say I have a quite vested interest in this running properly in Doors CS. Also, keep up the great work.

I've been meaning to post in on this and check this out. Sadly, I've not had the time to do so, but I plan to throw this at my 84+ soon. The graphics are simply astounding. I was blown away the instant I saw them. This has also rejuvenated my want to work on Pokemon Purple in ways you can't fathom, I just need to knock out a few of the other projects I've taken up that shouldn't (in theory) take long to fini-squirrel! >.> <.<

Keep up the fantastic work!

Update (6/27/14):
* POKEFACT now works with the DCS7 shell
* Forfeiting from a battle takes you to the highscore menu, if you beat a previous record
* Miscellaneous fixes + optimizations

More updates (6/28/14):
* Data compression - PKMNDATA is a few hundred bytes smaller now
* Fixed some problems with displaying pokemon nature + gender

More updates (6/29/14):
* AI is now scaled - the higher round number you are, the stronger the AI will be.
* Fixed problems with Curse crashing program.

More updates (7/7/14):
* New moves implemented - High Jump Kick, Aromatherapy, Smellingsalt, Spikes, Skill Swap, Pain Split, Belly Drum.

More updates (7/14/14):
* New moves implemented - Metronome, Grudge, Memento, Nightmare, Sky Attack, Torment, Petal Dance / Thrash (only two unimplemented moves left!)
* Fixed misc bugs

More updates (7/19/14):
* New moves implemented - Pursuit, Substitute (all moves should work now)
* Fixed bug with switching out having a lower move priority



I did some debugging today, and I finally got the program to run on DCS7. The only problems were that calling the swapram and quittoshell function resulted in a crash. Otherwise, it seems that DCS has implemented all of the rest of the mirage routines that the program needs. Also, I don't know if this is the place to report this, but the mirage implementation of swapram has a bug - calling it with a BC parameter that is divisible by 200 sends the routine into an infinite loop.



Thanks, I'm glad that you like the program . I think that your work has been a major source of inspiration for making POKEFACT. I really admire the ambition of recreating an entire pokemon game on the graphing calculator.
