|
||
|
||
This is a bug with `BattleCommand_Present` in [engine/battle/effect_commands/present.asm](/engine/battle/effect_commands/present.asm):

## "Smart" AI encourages Mean Look if its own Pokémon is badly poisoned
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cygMO-zHTls))
|
||
|
||
This is a bug with `AI_Smart_MeanLook` in [engine/battle/ai/scoring.asm](/engine/battle/ai/scoring.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm
|
||
; 80% chance to greatly encourage this move if the enemy is badly poisoned (buggy).

bit SUBSTATUS_TOXIC, a

**Fix:** Change `EnemySubStatus5` to `PlayerSubStatus5`.

## AI makes a false assumption about `CheckTypeMatchup`
|
||
|
||
In [engine/battle/effect_commands.asm](/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm):

```asm

BattleCheckTypeMatchup: ; 347c8

ld hl, BattleMonType1
|

CheckTypeMatchup: ; 347d3
|
||
; There is an incorrect assumption about this function made in the AI related code: when
|
||
; the AI calls CheckTypeMatchup (not BattleCheckTypeMatchup), it assumes that placing the
|
||
; offensive type in a will make this function do the right thing. Since a is overwritten,
|
||
; this assumption is incorrect. A simple fix would be to load the move type for the
|
||
; current move into a in BattleCheckTypeMatchup, before falling through, which is
|
||
; consistent with how the rest of the code assumes this code works like.

## NPC use of Full Heal or Full Restore does not cure Nightmare status
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGqu3d3pdok&t=322))
|
||
|
||
This is a bug with `AI_HealStatus` in [engine/battle/ai/items.asm](/engine/battle/ai/items.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm

**Fix:** Uncomment `ld hl, EnemySubStatus1` and `res SUBSTATUS_NIGHTMARE, [hl]`.

## HP bar animation is slow for high HP
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE-BfsFgZVM))
|
||
|
||
This is a bug with `LongAnim_UpdateVariables` in [engine/battle/anim_hp_bar.asm](/engine/battle/anim_hp_bar.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm
|
||
; This routine is buggy. The result from ComputeHPBarPixels is stored
|
||
; in e. However, the pop de opcode deletes this result before it is even

||
; To fix, uncomment the line below.
|

call ComputeHPBarPixels

jr z, .loop
|

ld [hl], a
|

**Fix:** Move `ld a, e` to right after `call ComputeHPBarPixels`.

## Playing Entei's Pokédex cry can distort Raikou's and Suicune's
|

([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z305e4sIO24))
|
||
|

The exact cause is unknown, but a workaround exists for `DexEntryScreen_MenuActionJumptable.Cry` in [engine/pokedex/pokedex.asm](/engine/pokedex/pokedex.asm):

## Two tiles in the `port` tileset are drawn incorrectly

## `Function6ec1` does not correctly limit object movement
|
||
|
||
This bug is why the Lapras in Union Cave, which uses `SPRITEMOVEDATA_LAPRAS`, is not restricted by its `1, 1` movement radius.
|
||
|
||
In [engine/npc_movement.asm](/engine/npc_movement.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm
|
||
ld hl, OBJECT_FLAGS1
|
||
add hl, bc
|
||
bit 4, [hl] ; lost, uncomment next line to fix
|
||
; jr nz, .resume
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Uncomment `jr nz, .resume`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## `CheckOwnMon` only checks the first five letters of OT names
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVTTmReM4nQ))
|
||
|
||
This bug can allow you to talk to Eusine in Celadon City and encounter Ho-Oh with only traded legendary beasts.
|
||
|
||
In [engine/search.asm](/engine/search.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm
|
||
; check OT
|
||
; This only checks five characters, which is fine for the Japanese version,
|
||
; but in the English version the player name is 7 characters, so this is wrong.
|
||
|
||
ld hl, PlayerName
|
||
|
||
rept NAME_LENGTH_JAPANESE +- 2 ; should be PLAYER_NAME_LENGTH +- 2
|
||
ld a, [de]
|
||
cp [hl]
|
||
jr nz, .notfound
|
||
cp "@"
|
||
jr z, .found ; reached end of string
|
||
inc hl
|
||
inc de
|
||
endr
|
||
|
||
ld a, [de]
|
||
cp [hl]
|
||
jr z, .found
|
||
|
||
.notfound
|
||
pop de
|
||
pop hl
|
||
pop bc
|
||
and a
|
||
ret
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Change `rept NAME_LENGTH_JAPANESE +- 2` to `rept PLAYER_NAME_LENGTH +- 2`.

## Catching a Transformed Pokémon always catches a Ditto
|
||
|
||
This bug can affect Mew or Pokémon other than Ditto that used Transform via Mirror Move or Sketch.
|
||
|
||
This is a bug with `PokeBall` in [items/item_effects.asm](/items/item_effects.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm
|
||
ld hl, EnemySubStatus5
|
||
ld a, [hl]
|
||
push af
|
||
set SUBSTATUS_TRANSFORMED, [hl]
|
||
|
||
; This code is buggy. Any wild Pokémon that has Transformed will be
|
||
; caught as a Ditto, even if it was something else like Mew.
|
||
; To fix, do not set [TempEnemyMonSpecies] to DITTO.
|
||
bit SUBSTATUS_TRANSFORMED, a

**Fix:**

## Using a Park Ball in normal battles has a corrupt animation
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1ErZdLCIyU))
|
||
|
||
This is a bug with `ParkBall` in [items/item_effects.asm](/items/item_effects.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm
|
||

||

**Fix:**
|

|

```asm

ld [wWildMon], a
|
||
ld a, [BattleType]

|

```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## `HELD_CATCH_CHANCE` has no effect
|
||
|
||
This is a bug with `PokeBall` in [items/item_effects.asm](/items/item_effects.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm
|
||
; BUG: callba overwrites a,
|
||
; and GetItemHeldEffect takes b anyway.
|
||
|
||
; This is probably the reason
|
||
; the HELD_CATCH_CHANCE effect
|
||
; is never used.
|
||
|
||
; Uncomment the line below to fix.
|
||
|

|
||
callba GetItemHeldEffect
|
||
ld a, b
|

|

**Fix:** Uncomment `ld b, a`.

## Only the first three `EvosAttacks` evolution entries can have Stone compatibility reported correctly
|
||
|
||
This is a bug with `PlacePartyMonEvoStoneCompatibility.DetermineCompatibility` in [engine/party_menu.asm](/engine/party_menu.asm):
|
||
|
||
```asm

ld a, BANK(EvosAttacks)
|
||
ld bc, $a
|

```
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Change `ld bc, $a` to `ld bc, $10` to support up to five Stone entries.

## `ScriptCall` can overflow `wScriptStack` and crash
|

```asm

## `LoadSpriteGFX` does not limit the capacity of `UsedSprites`

## `ChooseWildEncounter` doesn't really validate the wild Pokémon species

**Fix:**
