Oh gosh, I'm actually posting here. Hello one and all, I'm Fedora Jack and I'm unveiling my newest project, Pokemon Obsidian Version! This is my very first foray into hacking, using Pokemon Platinum as a base. Admittedly Gen IV probably isn't the best generation to have started out with, since there's very little information and less handy tools out there compared to Gen III. But I'm a stubborn dick and I wanted to do a Platinum hack, so there it is. V:So what's new? First off, the pokemon diversity in Sinnoh has been drastically increased., with the exception of legendaries. All routes/areas/caves/et cetera have revamped encounters. Routes are more diverse in general and the encounters are often distinct for that area. Sinnoh has a bad habit of splitting routes into locations with drastically different encounters but still keeping them under the same name. In those instances, I recommend treating them as entirely new areas to make catches.While I decided to stick with the traditional Sinnoh starters, you can find other generation's as rare encounters in certain areas. For example, it is possible to find all three of the Kanto starters before facing Roark.Some of these changes are fairly self-explanatory. Charizard being Fire/Dragon and Psyduck being Water/Psychic should go without saying, for instance. Others took a bit of creative thinking, or to provide STAB for attacks that feature prominently in their movesets. These type changes will add interesting new combinations to work with and fight against, or may make a pokemon you wouldn't normally use more appealling. 60 pokemon have new or altered typings and are listed below.Some of these newly assigned abilities are directly from DW, others are my own ideas.For some the changes are minor, limited to a new move here or there. Others have had almost a complete overhaul, most notably for those with new typings. I've edited out some of the more bullshit attacks too, like one-hit KO moves or Self-Destruct/Explosion. Many pokemon also learn their moves at more reasonable levels, so you won't have to wait until the 50's or 60's to get some decent attacks. Be on the lookout for some secrets too. Most fully evolved pokemon can learn some interesting moves via the move tutor. Also, a handful of pokemon are capable of learning some epic attacks normally reserved for legendaries. See if you can find any!For those of you curious, new evolutions are covered here:In addition to route encounters,Every trainer has a different team with pokemon from all four generations represented. They will also be using more evolved pokemon at higher levels.Team Galactic has gotten a significant improvement. Once-laughable Galactic Grunts will be using fairly formidable pokemon near the endgame. The three commanders now specialize in a certain type, similar to gym leaders.Cyrus has also gotten some especially scary new additions to his team.Rival battles have also been revamped.The champion Cynthia has also been buffed.and has the monstrous team of all.The gym leaders and E4 have undergone the most changes so they now present more memorable fights.You can expect them to cover their weaknesses, and some of them do possess some devious movesets, but I try to avoid outright trolling the player. I don't want this to be an overtly difficult hack, tough but fair is what I'm going for. I am also hoping that the buffed up trainers and wild encounters will make leveling faster, so not as much time is spent grinding. For reference, the levels of the gym leaders are given here (subject to change once I get a better sense for the leveling curve through playtesting):I am having trouble figuring out text and script editing, so the dialogue and plot is untouched for now. I'd like to change some text in the future, but for now that's a low priority.The zip file includes the patch of the newest version, a readme detailing all evolution, typing, and ability edits, and the XDelta/XDelta GUI program needed to patch the game. The download link is right here. Instructions: Place the patch and a clean US rom of Pokemon Platinum in the same folder. Using XDelta GUI, insert the patch and rom into their respective locations and click apply patch. The XDelta GUI program will create a copy of the rom with the patch applied, rather than editing the original. This confuses a lot of people. Note that there is no "Patching Complete" prompt that pops up.The newest version is Obsidian Enhanced, which introduced the new typings and movesets, among other miscellaneous changes. I had planned in the future to include new dialogue and script editing, but it's looking like that's not going to happen. I consider this hack mostly done, any further changes will be limited to minor tweaks and bug fixes.Finally, here are some obligatory screenshots:If you have any comments or suggestions, please post them below. I hope I managed to pique your interest!
