Pokémon Rumble is a sort of beat-'em-up starring windup Toy Pokémon. It's also the first game in the Rumble subseries. This entry only features Kanto and Sinnoh Pokémon likely due to the filesize limit on WiiWare games, with many leftovers related to the missing Johto and Hoenn Pokémon.
To do:
When a way to decompress all files in batch is present, decompress *.CX files. Executable strings? main.bmg and script.bmg have text differences... Is this interesting?
X_PIKATYUU_M_.brres is a leftover model of Flying Pikachu from My Pokémon Ranch. The balloons appear grey as they have no textures to pull from. X_PIKATYUU_F_.brres contains a female version.
X_OKUTAN_M_brres is an untextured, unused model of Octillery wearing a Focus Band, a reference to Golgo's Octillery from a popular Pokémon Sunday broadcast moment. This model was used in a Japanese-exclusive Guest event in My Pokémon Ranch.
Inside msg.arc.cx is a pokemon.bmg file which contains every Pokémon's name in National Dex order. After 493 is Egg, Bad Egg, Nidoran, followed by form names and ending on Manaphy.
Similarly (zkn_type.bmg also from msg.arc.cx) contains every Pokémon's category, also including those not in Rumble.
Using a Gecko code it is possible to use the Recruit Point to receive any Pokémon you want using their dex number in hexadecimal. Typing in the hexadecimal code for a Pokémon not in Rumble will display it's name from pokemon.bmg, then crash the game as there is no model to load.
This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. Specifically:
Gifs of every unused move.
How different (or not) are they from their versions featured in Rumble Blast?
There are many moves that can be hacked in using a Dolphin memory editor to change the currently used Pokémon's moves, some of which are signature moves that can only be learned and used by Gen 2 and 3 Pokémon not in the game.
Screenshots of the code Pokemon in-game in English and Japanese.
In the Japanese version 4 traits were assigned to special code Pokémon that went untranslated in other version of the game. They all have different names but function similar to the Rally trait.
Every time a new save file is created a Trainer ID and Secret ID not dissimilar to the one featured in the main series game is also created. Each Pokémon also has its own PID like in the main series games, with shininess calculated using both.
Changing a Pokémon's species to one not featured in Rumble will make it function similarly to how it would. Changing a Pokémon's species to Spoink will make it bounce and by Psychic Type. These modified Pokemon can also learn new moves in the terminal corresponded to what the new species would learn. Only when opening the menu while trying to load the actual species model will make the game crash.
There are three main modes the players can progress through, Normal, Advanced and EX, labelled as 0, 1 and 2, but in the code for the ranks there are four, 1 for C, 2 for B, 3 for A and 4 for S. Using an editor it is possible to load "rank 0" versions of levels.
The only unused level that appears to be functional in some way, this version of Silent Forest only features Caterpie. In order to progress you must defeat all the Caterpie for the trampoline to spawn, which once used will restart the level in an endless loop. This fiction isn't normally present in other levels.
The Collection screen has code to display all 493 Pokémon as Rumble's release, including alternate forms for Pokémon like Castform and the yet-to-be-revealed Arceus. This is disabled by default to only display all 151 Kanto Pokémon and all (revealed) Sinnoh Pokémon.
debug.bmg in the msg.arc file in the *xx_XX* directory (depending on regions) has a ridiculous amount of debugging strings mentioned. The game's executable does not have this file mentioned for use. When referencing the Pokémon Rumble World prototypes, it likely only has use from debug builds of the game.

The Japanese version only supports the Wii Remote on its side, like Super Paper Mario. The International version supports both the Wii Remote and Classic Controller.
