wills-mod

This mod, named 'wills-mod', is designed for the Gen1Recomp emulator and offers a comprehensive, read-only toolkit to help players track wild Pokémon encounters in the Kanto region. It uses data extracted directly from your imported Pokémon Red, Blue, or Yellow ROM — no hard-coded tables or bundled assets. The core feature is a map-first interface: users navigate the authentic Kanto Town Map (rendered from ROM tiles) to select locations with wild encounters. Each location drills down to exact sources like MT. MOON 1F, separating LAND and WATER encounters without merging them. A walking HUD appears while exploring, showing current area species with level ranges and per-step odds; it can be toggled via keybind (H) or options menu. Caught Pokémon are marked with Pokédex balls on lists and HUD. The mod supports desktop and Android, requires no save or game mechanic modification, and includes full test coverage (10 passing files). Development uses LÖVE 11+ and official modkit.py tooling. Future plans include adding fishing encounters and validating Red/Yellow ROMs. Notably, battle HUD features were removed in v1.0.1 as they’re covered by other mods. The project structure is modular, with clear separation between model logic, UI screens, map rendering, and HUD components. Installation is simple: import the .zip via Gen1Recomp’s MODS menu (F10), enable the mod, and start exploring. All data is derived from your ROM — ensuring accuracy and avoiding copyright issues. Ideal for completionists who want to know exactly what’s in the tall grass before stepping in.
