Okay, so how do I exactly install it? Any instructions lost somewhere within the old posts? It's an .xdelta patch. Use your favorite rom patcher or the actual xdelta program

I also changed Dawn's shrinking sprite a little to remove all but the scarf/hat which I think was correct? New to sprite editing and forums so I hope it's all good! It looks like one person is still wearing a striped shirt. 1

Pokémon Platinum Version (USA) (Rev 1) ROM. If you're using the Xenophobia Edition, it won't work. I'm planning on making a version that works for that one later. Also, be sure to turn on backups when doing it and turn off checksum validation if you still have issues.

I looked at this and came to the conclusion she was holding a handbag (which is why I changed underneath it) but I can see it both ways, so I made one without it too since its a bit hard to tell.

Viewier Posted June 13, 2025 Author Posted June 13, 2025 (edited) 3 hours ago, Morgil said: What's Xenopobia Edition? From this link from 2009: https://gbatemp.net/threads/who-is-xenophobia.190227/ "Xenophobia is a release group. A release group is essentially a group of people who buy and dump games for us pirates. Xenophobia is probably the most active for US DS releases. Venom is the only other group I can think of off the top of my head." So basically "Xeno Phobia" seems to have been a team of modders who extracted the roms from the games. Why they called themselves Xenophobia is beyond me. Edited June 13, 2025 by Viewier
Viewier Posted June 14, 2025 Author Posted June 14, 2025 (edited) I just realized that the sprites deemed unused and also the overworld sprites with red lines around them will have to be edited at some point for the "men-only" patch so that the scientists, bug catchers, and professors aren't randomly clothed while still being male.

Mx. Downbad Posted June 16, 2025 Posted June 16, 2025 I now have a morbid curiosity since I was talking with Viewer about it, which Elesa design do y'all like better?

Emberpup Posted June 16, 2025 Posted June 16, 2025 i like the second one better, i like how it incorporates more of the red & blue instead of just being nearly fully monochrome, plus i find the lighter yellow more pleasing to look at than the bright highlighter yellow of the first one. also the puffy sleeves are cute
Viewier Posted June 16, 2025 Author Posted June 16, 2025 Have any Platinude playtesters experienced the two prominent errors recently? An NPC name is random garbled text in their battle. An NPC has their legs mangled on one of their sprites. I need to know if I need to focus on that in the next update.

I started another playthrough over the weekend with the newest version. I definitely saw several characters with screwed up names. I think I saw someone with messed up feet, but I don't remember who it was. I just know it wasn't the rival anymore.

I experienced a few trainers with garbled names, often with lots of "?" question marks... what's weird though is that sometimes, when reloading "states" or the save file often fixes them for me... that's makes me think that they are completely random, at least for me... the only NPC i've encountered so far that has their legs mangled (tho i ain't that far yet) is Roark's... i'm still currently at my 3rd gym badge... i'm trying to export every saves per location/event (mostly gyms) so i can return to each moment very easily when i need to check something out and for future testings...

Viewier Posted June 16, 2025 Author Posted June 16, 2025 (edited) Time for Platinude 7-2-9! This is a minor update. I tried to fix the error with the characters having screwed up names, but I don't know if I succeeded or not. If I didn't, oh well. We'll fix it later. Some trainers still have broken feet, but those will be fixed soon. I've narrowed down that list to: Roark, Byron, Lucian, Volkner, the Reporter plus Cameraman doubles sprite, Rancher plus Cowgirl doubles sprite, Cyrus, Riley, Buck, Palmer, and Thorton. There's also a possibility that Argenta is messed up, but I'll need someone to check that in-game since I can't tell. 7-2-9.zip Edited June 16, 2025 by Viewier 2

Huh. I have no idea why loading save states fixes that glitch. Strange.

Strange. sorry, poor wording… 😭 it doesn’t necessarily “fix” it… it just that seeing garbled names sometimes happens and sometimes it doesn’t for the same NPCs… for instance, there’s this one time where i saw one comment here that they found the trainers you can battle inside the trainer school got garbled names… so i did try to see it for myself, too and found similar results… however, since i was trying to reload states, soft resetting, and even restarted an entire new save file, i was just surprised that these very same trainers don’t have garbled names anymore… so yeah, it was so random for me 😅 1
Viewier Posted June 19, 2025 Author Posted June 19, 2025 (edited) Since iamnthan is on vacation, I decided to update Dawn's overworld sprites and add the Diamond and Pearl sprites. (These ones have the red scarf and yellow hairclips) I managed to edit all but two sprites since it looks like one frame of the walking and running sprites was modified for Platinum. Blue are the sprites I didn't get to editing and White are the Platinum sprites that I updated by adding different pixels. So, next Platinude update will incude the white sprites. Catnatic already made the Lucas sprites for Diamond and Pearl, so he's good. Edited June 19, 2025 by Viewier 1
