doing my first ever multiworld randomizer (it is, of course, archipelago august)
and severely fucked up on the generator side which might make it difficult to finish, but we’ll see
additional info/context under jump:
casually running pokemon red. the generator dropdown box was set to randomize HM/TM compatibility as vanilla (-1) - however, the YAML file it gave out had those values as 0 - effectively meaning nothing is compatible with any HM or TM - beyond the failsafe, one species with each HM because you need those to finish the game.
the pokedex tells you which specific species is compatible providing you've seen it - but i didn't check the option to have everything seen because i wasn't expecting to run into this sort of issue.
so, all of my remaining currently accessible checks are locked behind Cut. i have the HM for it, i have the badge for it, but I do not know which species can learn it beyond the fact that it's one of the 39 not seen, and as such i'm going to have to go on a catching and evolution spree before i can actually use it - and i can see some problems if e.g. the safari zone 1% encounters have been randomized as each other
once that issue is resolved, we then get into problem 2 - charmander, which is the only mon capable of learning surf
and it's showing as Area Unknown in terms of location, which I hope means that it's a fishing encounter, because otherwise the game isn't completable.
(No one has yet to send me any fishing equipment, so maybe that'll be fixed by the time I've got cut and checked everything I can. Also needs the badge to use Surf anyway :v )
