Ground Debug Menu

A previously unseen debug menu, accessible while the game is in the "Ground" state (aka. in-game, but not in-dungeon). This is easily accessible through the yellow option in the menu.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: As always, figure out what the "unsure" options do.

Return to the top menu#

Simply returns you to the Top Menu, with no warning. This appears to partially save your current progress, as it preserves any changes made between your last save point and when you selected the option. However, resetting after selecting this will still render your changes lost.

Main Scenario Progress#

"Main Scenario control" This edits your current story, or scenario. there are 7 rows and 6 of them have various options to choose from.

Sub Scenario Progress#

"Particular Progress Control" Another scenario editor, which specifically allows you to edit story-related flags. There are 4 pages in total, with 27 flags that can each be flipped ON or OFF. Each option is relatively self-explanatory based on its name. A full list can be found below.

Dungeon open#

"Open Dungeons" Edits your dungeon list. A menu appears with most of the dungeons, including all used ones, sections of dungeons (Like Far Amp Plains), and boss rooms, as well as a handful of the unused ones. The listed unused dungeons are: Test Dungeon(0x00), Deep Concealed Ruins(0x47), the Dummy dungeons(0x67-0x7D), the Dojo dungeons(0x8C-0x9F), and Rescue Dungeon(0xA0). When you select a dungeon, 4 options appear.

Dungeon log#

"Open Dungeons" Lists the dungeons from the previous option. This time, they have numbers next to them, and you can set this number between 0 and 99. This defaults to 0 for each dungeon. If you fully clear the dungeon, this number is set to the number of floors that it has. It will stay at zero if you leave the dungeon without completing it (i.e. giving up, wiping out). If you manually change it to a number higher than its floor count, it will stay at that value unless you manually change it back. If you change it to something lower, however, it will snap back to the correct floor count if you clear the dungeon again. However, changing it doesn't seem to have any other effects. Likely tracks which dungeons have been completed.

Stats#

"Control Stat Info" Edits various stats, mostly from your Adventure Log. Each option has a number next to it, and their maximum depends on which stat it is.

Stats Max#

"Maximize Pokémon Status" Has a single option: "ポケモンとたたかった"(Battled with Pokémon). Pressing A on this option will automatically set it to the maximum, which is 491 (493 Sinnoh Pokémon, minus Shaymin and Arceus because they don't exist in this game). This doesn't affect anything else; for some reason, the devs decided this was important enough to justify its own listing on the menu. Interestingly, if you try to select the option using the touchscreen rather than the A button, the game will crash with this error:

!!!!! Assert !!!!!
file = 'window_module_select_list.c' line =  213
status error

Move To Places#

"Move To Places" This lists all of the game's locations in internal order, defaulting to the room you're currently in. They use their internal names, similarly to the "Ground Script Check" option in the Top Debug Menu. Press A on a location to be warped to it. This appears to be a little bugged, though: many of the options don't seem to do anything when selected, and many others will just warp you to the upper-left-bound of the location and softlock. Notably, this is the main way to get to the Debug Room with your save file: just go to any of the "T00P0X" locations. Also notable is that this menu has two options for a "T00P04" location, which do nothing when selected; this is one of the only surviving mentions of such a location in the game. The previous touchscreen bug also applies here.

Save#

Immediately saves the game.

Debug switch#

"Debug switch"

Sends you to the "Debug Switch" option from the Top Debug Menu. Check here for more specific information.

Debug log#

"Debug log"

Sends you to the "Debug Log" option from the Top Debug Menu. It still doesn't seem to do much anymore.

Next Day (Shop, Job, Egg)#

This immediately closes the menu when selected, and refreshes Treasure Town as if it were a new day. The shop items and jobs are re-rolled and the egg in the daycare will be one day closer to hatching.

Item Management/Addition#

Extremely in-depth item editor, which for some reason also handles Chansey's Daycare. Selecting it opens a menu with 5 options, and a small window appears at the bottom, reflecting your currently selected options.

Item storage#

A fully functional, portable version of Kangaskhan Storage.

Alter/Add Pokémon#

This allows you to edit your currently owned Pokémon.

Pokémon Storage#

This sends you to a menu where you can rename the Pokémon in your recruit list, including your Hero and Partner Pokémon. It also breaks the graphics on the top screen, assumedly from trying and failing to change it to the recruitment graphic, but it works as intended otherwise.

Chimecho Assembly#

A fully functional, portable version of Chimecho Assembly.

Control Evolution#

Does various useful things for testing Pokémon evolutions.

Random mission#

An extremely in-depth Wonder Mail editor. Leads to 6 options.

"Job Editing" allows you to create any possible Wonder Mail and add it to your Job List. The bottom screen has the mail editor, while the top screen shows what the mail will look like in your Job List. This includes a Wonder Mail Code, if the job can have one. When you first open this menu, it defaults to all the attributes of the first mail in your job list, if one exists; if you don't have any jobs in your list, a generic default is available. You must press START to save the bottom screen's settings to the top screen. Pressing A will add your created mail to your Job List. If the creation of the Wonder Mail was successful, it will say "いらいをかこうしました"(Edited the Job.) and close the menu. If there is contradictory information in the mission you've created, it will say "データチェックエラー"(Data Check Error) and bring you back to the editing page.

Note: while this menu is extremely powerful, it is still limited by the mechanics of Wonder Mail itself and cannot be used to create an "invalid" custom mission. This editor cannot do the following:

• Set the Client or Target Pokémon as a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. Attempting to do this will create a Data Check Error.
• Change the rewarded egg or second item. These are always random and cannot be changed.
• Set the difficulty or rewarded money. These are automatically calculated based on the nature of the Wonder Mail.

Start Script#

Seems to be similar, if not identical, to the Ground Script Check in the Top Debug Menu. Many of these cutscenes will still crash when they're over, and may have broken graphics, assumedly a side-effect of loading them incorrectly.
