Pokemon Ultra

[RedTrainer810]

I've been hard at work on a total overhaul and rebalance mod for fire red making it alot more like a real RPG with depth and less attack spamming. I've heavily modified the stats and have implemented many new balance formulas. My beta is complete up until you get the boulder badge if anyone would like to check it out. I've already spent probably 100 hours or more on this. Some of what has changed and is being changed include-

3 evolution Base Pokemon stat total 120

2 evolution Base Pokemon stat total 180

1 evolution Base Pokemon stat total 270

Ev's based on stat total
120-1
180-2
270-3
+1 for every base stat over 50

Attack formulas
Damage 1-5, ACC 75, PP 50
Damage 6-10, ACC 70, PP 45
Damage 11-20, ACC 65, PP 35
Damage 21-30, ACC 60, PP 25
Damage 31-40, ACC 55, PP 10
Damage 41-50, ACC 50, PP 5
Defense buffs always 100% ACC, always 25 PP
Offensive Debuffs always 60% ACC, always 25 PP.

Pokemon that evolve twice evolve at levels 20 and 40
Pokemon that evolve once evolve at level 30


Damage added to weak status moves such as tail whip and growl.

I have rebalanced all the Pokemon. Over halfway done with the attacks. Tested a few play throughs until I got the boulder badge each time. Definitely way more challenging. Increased the chance of effects being applied to the same amount as the attacks accuracy. Example Scratch now does 5 dmg, has 75 accuracy, 50 PP and a 75% chance to lower enemy accuracy by 1.

Pound lowers defense
Tackle can cause flinching etc etc. I've put alot of work in so far. Even changed some moves totally and renamed them. Leer is now called CHALLENGE and stops retreat.
Stronger moves have less PP and less accuracy so let's say you have a strong move and a weak one that both add the same effect. Burn,poison, lower attack etc
There's less chance of the effect working on the stronger move but it will almost always work on the weaker one which keeps weaker moves useful.

Another example.

SPITFIRE(EMBER) Does 12 damage, 70% accuracy and 70% chance to burn target. And has 45 PP

But FLAMETHROWER Does 35 damage, 60% accuracy and 60% chance to burn etc. And has 20 PP
So there's a better chance of landing good damage but less chance for a burn. Pretty much every move in the game is working on a similar formula. Coupled with the Pokemons modified stats this won't be a game where you can just spam your stronger moves and wipe out whole teams. I've adjusted all the type tables and Pokemon types to the point that 4x damage is extremely rare. You actually have to think a little to win.

I'll be posting a beta probably fridayish

The scripting will be the most time consuming part. If anyone would like to assist in the project and are pretty fast with scripting I'd like to add basic rematch scripts to every trainer and gym leader in the game excluding rival battles, Giovanni and trainers that disappear etc. It's a big task and I'll eventually do it myself but it'll be quicker for a more talented scripter. Let me know.
