    Pokemon Obsidian Emerald ChangeLog

    Version 1.4

    Systems Updates

    • The Gen 5 Summary Screen has arrived! RavePossum worked super hard on this, and had some help too – please see the new Contributers section at the end of this Changelog, which will be updated going forward. Features:
      • IV grades show the innate potential of a Pokémon.
      • EV progress arrows indicate stat gains earned through training.
      • Colored stats indicate the influence of the Pokémon’s nature.
      • The heart icon fills up as the Pokémon gains friendship. It becomes full once the Pokémon reaches the friendship evolution threshold, and becomes golden once its friendship is maxed out.
    • The DexNav has arrived! Much thanks to ghoulslash for the vast majority of the underlying code. The DexNav will be made available upon receipt of the Pokédex, and entirely replaces the Poké Radar. Save files that already possess the Poké Radar will not be affected by this change, but you will need to restart your save to obtain the DexNav. The DexNav works as in vanilla Pokémon games, so you can see Bulbapedia’s DexNav page for details! The exception to this is that every 5 chained encounters, your shiny rerolls will increase by one.
    • A new Extras Menu can be accessed by pressing L in the overworld! This menu contains useful functions and key items that were just a bit of a pain to dig up. The Extras Menu options are:
      • PokéVial
      • DexNav
      • Access PC
      • TM Case
      • Toggle PermaRepel
    • Nuzlocke Mode is now an additional configuration option at game start! Features:
      • Fainted Pokémon cannot be revived in any way or traded to NPCs
      • Only the first encounter on each route is possible to catch
      • Hatching an egg on a route will count as that route’s encounter, and eggs will not hatch on routes which already have encounters
      • If the catchable encounter is a species you have already captured, it will not count as that route’s encounter (Dupes Clause)
      • If an uncatchable encounter is shiny, you will be able to catch it regardless (Shiny Clause)
      • The other conventional Hardcore Nuzlocke rules are already enforced by default in Obsidian Emerald:
        • Hard level caps
        • No bag items in trainer battles
        • Set mode only
    • Every trainer in the game now has a fully specified competitive set! See the Master
    • Sheet on the documentation for the Poképastes.
    • Roxanne, Winona and Juan have had their teams adjusted.
    • Some new AI Tweaks have been implemented:
      • The AI is now less likely to use status-inflicting moves when they are not particularly useful
      • The AI will no longer use Tailwind and Trick Room in the same turn
      • The AI will now use Taunt and Imprison more often when it can deny Trick Room or Tailwind setup
      • The AI is now less likely to use stat-increasing moves when at +2 or higher, or if it can take a KO
      • The AI will consider attacking its partner when it is beneficial, for example with guaranteed-to-crit moves when the partner has Anger Point, or with Beat Up when the partner has Justified
    • Pushing the B button in wild battles will automatically move the cursor to the Run option.

    Version 1.1

    Systems Updates

    • The Pokédex+ has arrived! All caught Pokémon now have their base stats, abilities, movesets, evolution data, and form data added to the in-game Pokédex. Huge shoutout to TheXaman for putting this together, it is fantastic work and I am very happy to be able to include it in Obsidian Emerald!
    • Battle Tents now function as EV training sites. You may select a stat and you will be pitted against a team of level 5 Pokémon which each yield 2 EVs of that stat. Some Pokémon have had their EV yields adjusted to accommodate this.
    • The Infinite Candy now levels Pokémon to the level cap with a single use. Pokémon at the level cap which have reached their required evolution level will evolve when the Infinite Candy is used on them.
    • Tripled the rate at which friendship increases.
    • The following moves have been made teachable to more Pokémon lines:
      • Tail Slap: Charmander, Squirtle, Treecko, Snivy, Fennekin, Popplio, Totodile, Sentret, Yungoos, Zigzagoon, Eevee
      • Pursuit: Poochyena, Lillipup, Growlithe, Yamper, Houndour

      • Expanding Force: Raichu-A, Slowpoke, Drowzee, Exeggutor, Mr. Mime, Girafarig, Meditite, Spoink, Chimeco, Darmanitan, Delphox, Bruxish, Braviary-H
    • Octazooka is now affected by Mega Launcher.
    • New Abilities
      • Sticky Silk: When hit by a damaging move, the Pokémon covers the opposing side of the battlefield in sticky silk, as the move Sticky Web.
      • Psionic: The Pokémon’s Psychic type moves deal 50% increased damage.
    • Altered Abilities
      • Illuminate: No effect in battle » Pokémon is immune to Bug-type moves, and when Bug-type moves are used with the Pokémon on the battlefield, they are redirected and raise its Sp. Attack by one stage.
    • Route 119 Weather: 25% Sunny, 25% Thunderstorm, 50% Rain » 50% Thunderstorm, 50% Rain
    • Poké Radar: The shiny and IV rerolls, as well as Hidden Ability chance, have been increased across the board.
      • Shiny rerolls: 0/0/1/2/3/4/5 » 0/1/2/3/4/5/6

      • HA Chance (in percent): 0/0/5/5/10/10/15 » 5/10/15/20/25/30/35
    • Berry trees no longer die after 10 cycles of growth without ever being harvested as they do in vanilla. (With 4x faster berry growth and people emulating at high speeds, this was causing berries to be lost forever pretty easily.)
    • All Hisuian Pokémon have had their movesets updated to Gen 9, since their Legends: Arceus movesets are sparse.
    • Dratini, Machop, Rhyhorn, Roggenrola, Staryu, and Wishiwashi have had their encounter locations adjusted.

    Bug Fixes

    • Pokémon now gain EVs even if they are at the level cap.
    • The changes to the Infinite Candy avoid calling back to the party menu after its use, so it may be that the crashes and soft locks in the menu / party screen loop that were reported are fixed. If you still have something like this occur, please let me know, since I’m not certain I fixed the root cause.
    • Trainers Lass Jaclyn on Route 110 and Swimmer Santiago on Route 130 with vanilla parties have received updated parties.
    • A switch in New Mauville no longer triggers on the tile beneath where it appears

    • TM37’s description now accurately indicates that it teaches Pursuit.

    • Trainers on Route 123 are now below the Winona Split level cap.

    • Issues related to the state of Route 111, such as the Winstrates being defeated after losing mid-challenge, the sandstorm not kicking up properly, or Mirage Tower reappearing, should be fixed. Please report if you experience any odd behavior on this route.
    • Aegislash, Mimikyu, Eiscue, and Meloetta properly revert to their base forms at battle end.
