The black 2 second folder "a004_black2" doesn't open in the dropbox, even if you try to download it or browse it
Thank you very much for the update. Managed to follow the directions correctly to successfully randomize Pokemon Volt White's palettes to palette by type. Do you have any plans for the future with the color by type? As it is right now the pokemon look rather plain as they are one solid color, and there is hardly any color difference from pokemon of the same type. Perhaps color by type could only affect one color of its palette and leave the rest to random hue?
I think the ideal would be where a pokemon still looks radically different, but you can still have some idea of what its new typing is, without pokemon of the same type looking too similar. Though I understand that is easier said than done. Will continue to follow your progress.
And a late happy new year as well!
Edit: It seems that the combination of "Completely Random" and "Slightly vary original colors" always gets the exception "Sequence contains no elements" when used for Black(2)/White(2). Tried it with Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver and there was no exception.
Thanks so much for this! Palette randomization is by far my favorite thing about randomizers, and the fact that Gen 3 is the only gen to have a randomizer with one drives me nuts because Gen 3 feels so icky to play to me now.
Hey, sorry haven't posted in a while. Business has prevented me from trying out the changes until recently. Across a few separately randomized roms (color by type with randomized types), I find that electric pokemon commonly show up as green, so you might want to tighten up the color selection for them. Normal types also seem to get an odd yellow/green color very commonly.
The only other thing that I've noticed is that how in the randomizer the "Randomize by Evolution Family" options cannot be un-selected which is misleading because it implies that selecting one of those options is mandatory, especially since I find they have a negative impact on a color by type game. For example when I first started randomizing I thought I had to pick one and it threw the colors for evolutions off.
Aside from that and some slightly vague instructions at times (mentioning randomization options that either have different names than they do in the program or don't exist), the program works well. Overall takes a decent amount of attempts until you learn how to do what you want to achieve.
