Hey! I saw that you were playing random pmd and had shiny celebi/popplio as your starters? I was wondering if you set those yourself or got really lucky with the randomizer?

(Also, does a randomizer work on your expanded starters mod? I don’t remember if it did or not and I can’t find a post saying what the verdict was ^^;)

Either way it’s always a joy to see your randomizer posts on my timeline! It really brightens my day every time just cause I see how excited YOU are about it ^-^ I hope you’re having fun with it!

Awww thanks so much! :D Really glad you're enjoying it 💜

I got really lucky with celebi, but added popplio as a starter manually myself! This was actually a randomizer I started playing sometime last year and stopped when scarlet and violet came out. I'd edited vanilla eos to add popplio (with fanmade sprites I found on the-spriters-resource that I edited slightly to have diagonals and other things missing from all the sheets the heroes use, plus portraits I made myself). Never shared the ROM bc it didn't feel right to make it public with those sprites, but with the sprite repository being a thing now I was able to use sprites from that in my expanded sky mod and not feel bad about it :D

Me and my friend are planning to play a randomizer soul link of eos soon and we wanted to use expanded sky so I've been testing randomizing it with... Kinda sad results. The romhack makes use of a script mod that takes a bunch of dummy data (or something????) and turns it into like 1000 or so extra slots for pokemon, so I installed that and added all the starters as new. Skytemple randomizer on the other hand, gives you a checklist on pokemon you wanna randomize (most selected by default) that only goes up to the standard amount vanilla eos would have.

Planning to circumvent this for our soul link though so if anyone wants to know how: you can pass expanded sky into skytemple randomizer as normal, save the .nds, then open the now randomized rom in skytemple. Go to lists>starters and then just replace whichever starters you wanna swap in the list with the new ones!

The randomizer also doesn't seem to acknowledge the fairy gummi slot either, so you probably won't be able to find those manually. I'm not really sure where to tweak in the files to get those though lol, maybe something in the dungeons could work but I'll edit this when I know lol
