Ash-Greninja Mod for Reborn, Rejuv and Deso

[Karvanha]

Thanks to @Aephiex for creating the original Reborn E18 version of this mod, to @BurstNeon for the Reborn E19 initial port, and to @TailsDoll2537 for help with the sprites!

 

This is a mod that simply adds Ash-Greninja to the game. There are different versions of the mod for the different games and their versions, so please choose the version you need carefully!

 

For Rejuv v14.0:

(works with v14.0.13 and above)

Quote

How it works:

The original Battle Bond ability is normally available to Greninja as a third ability.

 

Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PaOqFhxzHNbMqvGvUs7BzCkff1Z5f0Tf/view?usp=drive_link

 

Installation:

Unzip the .zip file, drop the contents (a folder called 'patch') into your game folder and merge (you don't have to overwrite any files).

 

Uninstallation:

Make sure none of your Pokemon have the Battle Bond ability and then reverse all the file changes you made during installation.

 

Compatibility:

Should be compatible with almost all other mods.

 

For Reborn v19.5 / Rejuv v13.5 / Deso v6.0:

How it works:

The original Battle Bond ability is normally available to Greninja as a third ability.

Rejuv v13.5: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q5dO5tBwp_WvWMWkc8KlmixA6Z0clgkP/view?usp=drive_link

Deso v6.0: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c25I_T-SsDwPTbk3xI0b6dKwBqs_G6dI/view?usp=drive_link

 

Installation:

Unzip the .zip file, drop the contents into your game folder and merge. If you're using the mod for Rejuv or Deso, you'll have to overwrite the existing graphics while merging.

 

Uninstallation:

Make sure none of your Pokemon have the Battle Bond ability and then reverse all the file changes you made during installation.

 

Compatibility:

Should be compatible with almost all other mods.

Note for All Gen mod for Reborn v19.5: To use this mod with All Gen, you'll have to rename the "Ash-Greninja Mod.rb" file to "ZZZ Ash-Greninja Mod.rb" (this makes it so the file gets loaded after the All Gen overrides in the Mods folder, so that both mods are able to work together correctly).

 

For Reborn v19.0.16:

Quote

How it works:

It wasn't possible to give Battle Bond as a third ability to Greninja in this version. So instead, each of the Pokemon in the Greninja family has an alternate form that has the ability Battle Bond, and a 50-50 chance of being this form or the normal Torrent/Protean form when obtained or caught. Evolutions and eggs of the two forms retain their respective forms. You can also change between the two forms by using a Red-Hots on them (had to pick a random item lol).

Installation:

1. Copy the file named "Ash-Greninja Reborn.rb" into Pokemon Reborn/Data/Mods (if the Mods folder doesn't exist yet, create it).

2. Copy the file named "658.png" into Pokemon Reborn/Graphics/Battlers/ and the file named "icon658.png" into Pokemon Reborn/Graphics/Icons/, and replace the existing ones.

 

Uninstallation:

Make sure none of your Pokemon have the Battle Bond ability and then reverse all the file changes you made during installation.

 

Compatibility with other mods:

Should be compatible with almost all other mods.

These are some custom shiny sprites which were included in the previous download for Reborn, for anyone who wants to use them:

Thank you for this, even if Gamefreak has abandoned the frog I'm glad others haven't. Gonna use this on my next playthrough!

Battle bond can also be obtained in the starter pokemon?

Yes. The Froakie will have a 50% chance of having Battle Bond. And you can always change Torrent/Protean to Battle Bond by using a Red-Hots (Red-Hots are available as soon as you reach the Obsidia Ward, which is much before you will have a Greninja)

Is it possible to make this work for Rejuvenation as well? If this is already meant to be compatible, the game crashes upon trying to load up with this mod enabled.

It is not meant to be compatible with Rejuvenation, because its scripts are a little different from Reborn's at the moment, and the sprite format is also different. I think the script base is going to be unified in the future though, so if I update it then, it should work for both games. So look forward to that I guess

Thought I should say, there is also a version for Desolation now

this mods can be for rejuvenation

[Karvanha]

Not right now. I know nothing about Rejuv's scripts, and they are going to be changed drastically with v13.5 anyway, so I'd rather wait till then.

The form won't show up on the battle field it'll show up in the menu.

Should be fixed now, please download it again

Hey man, hope you're doing well. I took it upon myself to make a working version for Rejuvenation v13.0.5 and used some of your code to do it. I was wondering if I could have the permission to release that with the next update of my Rejuvenation mod, along with the sprites you used for your Ash Greninja mod. I'll credit you properly, of course.

The reborn version isn't working for me . Does it not work on version 19.16?

Nvm, Sorry I was using the wrong desolation mod by mistake. Its working now

[Karvanha]

Just wanted to say there's a Rejuv version now!

I've also taken the opportunity to fix a bug in the Deso version

Hey thanks for this! If I use this mod, how will future updates to the game work? (will I need to redownload the mod, will updates cause crashes, etc?). And also, does this work with mac? This is for rejuvenation btw

It's best to just reinstall the mod every time you update the game (no need to delete anything, just replace existing files). I will try to update the mod to match the latest version of the game, but even if you just use the current version of the mod, there should be no crashes.

I have never used the Mac version of the game, but I'm fairly sure it should work as long as the files are placed in the correct locations

Thanks! I just realized I'm on V13 and not 13.5 of rejuvenation so maybe that's why it didn't work  when I tried it.
