how do i play the thing you're playing??????
Well. First you have to have Desmume. Which is an emulator that lets you play DS games. Next you need a certain version of Pokemon White. For anti piracy reason, Pokemon Black and White roms don’t allow you to gain exp. However, there are certain versions with a patch that fixes that (I own both pokemon Black and White, so I really don’t feel bad about playing the rom, like I bought freakin both of them and I just want to play them with the randomizer.)
This is the download where I got the White That works. You’ll need to be able open up .rar files. (i have a mac, and i have iZip downloaded from when I needed it for Amnesia custom stories, I’m not sure what windows computer’s use.)
Next you need the Universal Pokemon Game Randomizer.
Once you have that downloaded you’ll see this:
Click Open ROM and you’ll want to locate the ROM you extracted from the .rar file. It should look like this
This will open the rom up on the randomizer.
Now. I didn’t save the exact code to get the exact randomize that I have. But this is what I chose:
Pokemon Base Statistics - Unchanged
Pokemon Abilities - Randomize (I did NOT check wonder gard, because if that gets on a sableye its fucking indestructible)
Starter Pokemon - Random (basic Pokemon with 2 evolutions)
Pokemon Types - Unchanged
Pokemon Movesets - Unchanged
Trainers Pokemon - Random - Weight types by # of Pokemon with them - Don’t use Legendaries - No early Shedinja - Randomize Trainer Class Names
Wild Pokemon - Area 1-to-1 Mapping - Set minimum catch rate (THIS IS PRETTY FUCKING IMPORTANT. BECAUSE OTHERWISE POKEMON MIGHT BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO CATCH EARLY ON)
Static Pokemon - Random (Completely)
TMs & HMs - TM Moves - Random - TM/HM Compatibility - Random (Completely)
And that’s what I did. (of course all the dumb image stuff with zacharie and bianca was just me using photoshop)
I didn’t want to fuck with the type or moves because I didn’t want that much change in the game for this playthrough.
