I asked my Discord to replace as many trainers in Alpha Sapphire as they wanted, and they sure did something with it, huh.
This is absolutely unbalanced. It's similar to Emerald Kaizo, though almost certainly not as difficult. Things will seem arbitrary and not make sense. It is a disaster, please enjoy it.
- Download Lunar IPS if you don't already have it.
- Download the latest release from Releases and unzip it.
- Unpack your Alpha Sapphire ROM using the .Net 3DS Toolkit (or another tool if you prefer). You must dump your own cartridge or digital copy using custom firmware. I cannot tell you where to acquire a ROM.
> ToolkitConsole.exe AlphaSapphire.3ds AS
- Double-click on each of the IPS files in the unzipped folder, and apply each patch to the associated file using the table below:
Patch File trdata.ips RomFS/a/0/3/6 trclass.ips RomFS/a/0/3/7 trpoke.ips RomFS/a/0/3/8 gametext.ips RomFS/a/0/8/1 - Repack the ROM.
> ToolkitConsole.exe AS MayviaryAS.cia
You need Luma3DS or an emulator to run this mod.
- Your team must not exceed the level of the original trainer's highest leveled Pokemon by more than 50%, rounded up. (e.g. Roxanne's Lv. 12 and 14 would allow you to have Lv. 21 Pokemon)
- You can rename the trainer.
- You must attempt to maintain some sort of team consistency for repeated trainers. A claim on a repeated trainer is a claim on all of their encounters.
- Trainers that use a Mega Evolution must still use one.
- No Legendaries or Mythicals.
- You may add up to 3 additional Pokemon to your trainer.
- You may give the leader up to two additional HEALING OR BATTLE ITEMS.
- You may set the AI level to 255.
- Brendan/May are considered a boss, except for Brendan/May 1. You must keep starter consistency, but you can go Hop I Don't Know What I'm Doing Disaster Mode if you like.
- Tate and Liza are separate claims. I believe you can give them each up to 6? It works in Emerald I know.
- Gym leaders and Elite 4 members need a theme!
- Aqua members must primarily use Dark and Water types.
- Repeated trainers may have one Legendary or Mythical on their final Any% encounter. (Elite 4 may have one in round 2)
- You may add one Mega if the trainer does not use one and it is after the 4th badge.
- No limit on held items.
- You may set the AI level to 135.
- If the trainer is a gym trainer or Team Aqua member, you may give then one item.
- You may change the trainer class of the trainer unless they are a Aqua Grunt.
- If you claimed a gym leader, you have first call on that gym's trainers if you want them.
- No Mega Evolutions.
- You may use one held item.
- Due to limitations of the engine, trainer IVs are always the same and can only be 0, 8, 16, or 24. EVs are always 0. Text file 22 - Trainer Names
