Important
This release is on Hackdex: Pokémon Platinum Reforged on Hackdex.
New versions come out as patches there.
Black 2's speech bubbles, the Distortion World's own battle look, and fixes for the bugs you reported. Still an
alpha, so expect things to break, and please
report anything that goes wrong.
What's new
- Black 2's speech bubbles. A new message box frame, GEN V, on by default in a new game. Existing saves can
pick it in Options. - The Distortion World's battles have a background and platforms of their own, and Giratina stands on no
platform, as in Platinum.
Fixes
- Route 204 North's rustling grass really has only Happiny now: 0.2.1-alpha promised it but still shipped the
old grass (#19). - Saving: your trainer holds the journal while "Saving…" shows, as in Platinum (#17).
- Recalling your follower no longer turns every NPC of the same species white (#16).
- Tag battles: your partner sends out their Pokémon in Platinum's outfit, not Diamond and Pearl's (#18).
- Aaron's intro ends on his last pose instead of his leap, and Barry and other trainers whose animations played
their frames out of order play them right (#7, #15). - Safari Zone and Pal Park battles: your trainer is no longer left cut off at the bottom of the screen, and bait
and mud are thrown as in Platinum, not as a Poké Ball (#9). - Your following Pokémon now plays its Surf and Rock Climb animation, goes into its ball when a bike rack
puts you on your bike (and comes back out when you get off), and stays in its ball in the Great Marsh (#13). - The pinch music keeps playing after a level-up instead of starting over.
Thanks to @TwinleafTrainer (#15, #16, #17, #18, #19) and @Apple40Slicer (#7, #9) for reporting these: they're fixed in this
release because you took the time to report them 🙌
