[Game Update] Halloween Pokemon and 1.2.4

[CodySP]

Uranium lovers, it's getting spooky in Tandor!

To celebrate everybody's favorite nightmare inducing, scary-movie watching, dress up enthused, candy grabbing holiday we've prepared something extra special for you to stuff into your pillow cases and candy bags.

This year we have prepared not 1 but 2 Mystery Gift Pokemon for you to collect and take home. After a disappointing defeat at last years vote, these Pokemon have run to their local Poke-mart to get dressed up for the occassion all over again! They're spooky, they're scary, AND THEY'RE YOURS. Collect these awesome Pokemon designed by our very talented Sprite team by accessing the Mystery Gift section of your main menu, then picking them up at any Poke-Mart

Remember to run the Patcher or you won't be able to claim your gift!

1.2.4

In addition to our Halloween Gift, we're also releasing update 1.2.4 in unison. Which comes with a number of fixes on reported bugs.

Code:

-Added code needed for the Halloween Mystery Gift to function properly.

-Fixed bug where mystery gift pokemon could not pass down HAs.

-Fixed bug where a ranger on Route 7 was so startled by the Nuclear Gyarados that they changed gender.

-Macho Brace will no longer soft lock the game.

-Fixed common crash on main menu after deleating any save.

-Fixed rare crash when getting spotted by certain trainers. Most notably the fisherman on route 15.

-Fixed the very common crash at the Hall of Fame before the credits role.

-Resized one of the credit background images to fit properly.

-Added Connor Griffin to the credits for his amazing work on several of the background music tracks used in the game. We sincerely apologize for this omittance. You can check out his other works on his website at https://www.connorgriffinmusic.com

From all of us at Team Uranium, Happy Halloween!


We would also like to sincerely apologize to Mr. Griffin for having used his work for this long without his consent. His scores were part of the original release and until recently, we had no way of knowing that this was the case. Thank you again, Connor, for allowing us to continue using your music.

OMG, those mystery gifts look great!  As always, but still!  They look great! I do have one question about them, though: can they be shiny? Last year's wasn't able to be shiny, so if these ones don't have a shiny form either, it'd be nice to know in advance!

Also always happy to see more updates and bug fixes for the game in the meantime while we wait for the game to receive its next major update.  Keep up the good work, everyone

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh so nice new Mystery Gift Pokemon!! ♡ Especially one of them, it shall be my new companion while brewing magic potions. *adjusts witch hat* Big thanks for these and of course for all the effort in fixing a sheer neverending amount of minor and major bugs.

I really like how Uranium's team is gifting its players new Myster Gifts on a recurring base. ^^

Oh, and enjoy your Halloween candy, everyone!~

They do have shinies. The usual soft-resetting in front of the deliveryman will work. 

There was a bug with the shiny sprites which you can fix with a hotfix update, but even the original 1.2.4 patch allowed you to get a shiny MG.

Guess that means Imma going to have to do a lot of soft reseting in the future, if the sprites look cool enough. Oh well, it'll hopefully be worth the effort!

From what I can tell, none of the Mystery Gift Pokemon have any unique or new stuff, like Shell Smash Cassnail or Regenorater Luxi. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but at least nobody will miss out on anything besides the unique sprite!

And I think they have set natures and genders, too.  The only random things from what I can tell are:
 - Ability, but only for one of them
 - whether they're Shiny

All around, I'm happy with these Halloween MGs

I admire all the work and details put into the unique sprites. Makes the Mystery Gifts something worthy for me already!

Actually, the Masking has two Egg Moves that are currently unobtainable for it in-game -- Yawn (which can't be chained on it otherwise, believe me I tried!) and Telekinesis (which isn't available at all, as it can only be called upon by Metronome)

Oh?  Huh, I'd never clocked that either of those were unobtainable egg moves, tbh...nice to know they're obtainable now, though, even if they aren't as major as Shell Smash on the birthday snail.

Quite honestly, I'm thrilled about Yawn in particular, as it more reliably puts an enemy to sleep than Hypnosis does.  I tried a few ways to get it to chain over and it failed each time.  Now that it's available, I'm eager to try out some potential sleeping moveset hijinks with this nightmare birb, although Synchronize might not be the best ability for what I had in mind.  Ah well, that's what breeding is for!
