Ditto Restores the National Dex - A Mod for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Updates

1.1.3 Update 24d
  • Addition Added BD1.1.3 compatible mod.

Ditto has decided to step in for all missing Pokémon and forms! What a nice fella!

Are you disappointed that those gen 5+ Pokémon are completely absent from this game? Are you devastated that the game's code deliberatly leaves out mega evolutions and regional forms? Well, Ditto is too. Therefore, from now on, Ditto has decided to take one for the team and role play all Pokémon and forms that are currently missing from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond! The chap is determined to fill out the entire national dex all by himself!

About

This mod expands the Pokédex and adds in data related to every Pokémon created after generation 4 excluding their models, animations and cries. These Pokémon will be using Ditto's data instead.

In addition, the mod also adjusts evolutions:
  • Trade > Level (16 + last evolution level)
  • Trade holding item > Hold item, daytime
  • After move learned > Level X (around whenever they normally learn it)
  • Pokémon in party > Level 16
  • Level X, in Pokémon Sun/Moon > Level X, daytime/nighttime
  • Level X, outside/in region > Level X, daytime/nighttime
  • Use item, outside/in region > Use item, male/female
  • In tower of water/darkness > High friendship, daytime/nighttime
  • Other weird/unachievable evolutions > Whatever makes sense

Notes

  • All new pokédex entries will be pre-registered.
  • Form-changing mechanics may not be implemented.
  • New Pokémon learnsets are identical to either their Sun/Moon or Sword/Shield learnsets.
  • New Pokémon will be compatible with all TMs
  • Really niche Pokémon data, like egg-moves and color category, is omitted.
  • Text data for non-english languages is omitted.
  • A version combined with the other mods I made, Ultimate Move Reminder and Trans-Regional Item Transport, can be found here.
  • Further modding is required in order for new Pokémon to ever show up. As such, a demonstrative randomized wild encounter mod is also provided.

Now, if anyone would like to use this mod as a basis or part of their own mods, that'd just be excellent. Perhaps someone wishes to implement custom Pokémon? I - and I'm sure Ditto too - would welcome it.

    Just one step closer to having a third of the community's pokemon come back once again!

    Maybe even more so if this same kind of mod can be implemented to PLA!

  • I just hate the situation that pokemon modding is...

    In SwSh side, its easy to import 3d models, but its near impossible to deal with GF engine and add all the pokes mechanicaly.

    is BDSP side we have unity and every poke added to the game mechanicaly... but nobody seems to understand yet how to do model import for unity on switch.

    We are so... so... close to having a true GEN 8... yet... so far

  • This is SUCH an inspired idea, honestly. It should let a lot of other projects move forward even before models and animations are properly figured out yet. How genius!

    The little blob that could.
    Just curious, how hard would it be to import the models from Sword & Shield, Let's Go!, and Ultra Sun & Moon?
    nice >:]

    How limited is this? Can I add an infinite amount of new Pokes? Can I add evolutions that would otherwise not exist? Do you know of anyone working on adding in the models? It'd be a waste if several people attempted to do something rather than collectively.
