Wilds of Kanto v2.1.9
v2.1.9 focuses on follower interactions, presentation and additional Gen1 / Gen2 compatibility fixes.
Followers
Poké Ball Release / Recall FX
Followers now use a short Poké Ball-style animation when intentionally released or recalled.
Technical follower rebuilds such as map transitions or battle returns remain seamless and do not unnecessarily replay the animation.
Follower Interaction
Talking to a Wilds follower now shows:
- Ok — keep the follower active
- Ball — recall that specific follower
Selecting Ball removes only that follower and plays the recall animation.
Pokémon Interaction Text
Generic Pokémon interactions that previously displayed:
[...]
now use a short fragment based on the Pokémon's name instead.
Examples:
- Pikachu →
Pika! - Charizard →
Chari!
Existing scripted or custom dialogue is preserved.
Follower Stability
Improved follower behavior when the selected Pokémon faints.
Wilds now cleanly falls back to the next valid healthy follower while keeping follower selection and presentation synchronized.
Gen2 / (Gold/Silver)
Additional Gen2 compatibility and presentation fixes, including:
- follower lifecycle improvements
- Gold Farfetch'd Pokédex artwork fix
- continued shared follower behavior between Gen1 and Gen2
Gold support remains under active development.
Wild Pokémon Silhouettes
The silhouette option now supports undiscovered Pokémon.
Wild Pokémon can remain silhouetted until they have been caught and registered in the Pokédex.
Other Fixes
- Fixed a Wilds spawn conflict with the scripted Marowak encounter in Pokémon Tower
- Restored Gen1 follower RELEASE / RECALL rendering
- Improved recall ghost handling and Gen1 SpriteRenderer integration
Supported Games
- Pokémon Red
- Pokémon Blue
- Pokémon Yellow
- Pokémon Gold
- Pokémon Silver
Thanks for testing Wilds of Kanto and reporting the remaining Gen1 / Gen2 edge cases.
