Any version from 1.1 onwards has the fix, so repatching a Colosseum ISO with the new patch will ensure there's no issue with the DNA samples and you don't have to worry about losing your save when repatching.Īpply the patch file to a clean Pokemon ColosseumISO using any UPS patcher. The DNA samples in the lab are broken for versions 1.01 to 1.04. There are plenty of other features I'd love to bring to this project in the future, so anyone knowledgeable in the ways of coding/texture editing who wants to work on a project like this please get in touch! Must give a massive shoutout to Stars who has helped me throughout this process, and who without his tools I'd have not even managed to turn a Zigzagoon into a Linoone. This is only version 1.0 so there may be a few trainers I've forgotten to update or leveled wrong, so if you find any you can head on over the the gamecube pokemon hacking discord here to shout at me about it. Stat/type/Ability updates and changes (In line with Drayano's hacks) Grand Colosseum not only acts as a difficulty hack to one of the hardest pokemon games out there, but brings a host of QOL changes, including but not limited to The introduction of breakable TRs in Sword/Shield was a step back why make 'em breakable, and force players to grind Watts for them, when they could just be unbreakable TMs, obtained once, and all's fine with the world? Ugh I miss HMs.Very happy to finally be able to share the first full Pokemon Colosseum QOL and difficulty ROM hack to date! Gen VI had it mostly right - 100 TMs, but only 5 HMs instead of 8. Once HMs were removed, Surf and Fly had to become TMs, taking up space that could've been given to other moves - not to mention Rock Smash, which became a TM earlier. I miss HMs I never minded them as progression-blockers, since I only needed to teach 'em once and just had to press A on an obstacle to get past it (aside from Fly, Flash and Defog, which do require going into the menu), and the less useful moves (Cut, Rock Smash, Strength) could be edited in a ROM hack to be better. This, of course, means he was even better in HGSS where he wasn't as easily available, since Whirlpool replaced Defog. Click to expand.Bibarel's better as a HM mule, since it can also learn Water-type moves - really, the ONLY HMs he couldn't learn were Defog (Sinnoh only) and Fly.
