Always an EsperDescription

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

Urgency: Non-existant, unless you so desperately want to equip Espers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:

While not a circumstance that can occur in the original game, but if a character
does not start with a Magic command in their list
(Fight - *skill* - Magic - Item) then that character cannot equip Espers.

Gogo is like this by default, but the game will add Magic if Magic was added in
its status menu. Gogo will never be able to equip Espers though. This might be
because of every available spell being copied from the current party to Gogo's
list.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this patch does:

Regardless if a character has a Magic command or not, that character will have
Esper as an option. You should keep this in mind though:

Umaro has no magic list, so teaching him anything might overwrite something
important in the SRAM.

Gogo still will not be able to equip Espers, due to the possibility listed
above.

Version history:

June 10, 2007
v1.1  - While making v1.0a, apparently I forgot to do something that the patch
and readme both said it was doing. As a result, any person without a magic
command had no access to the skills menu. Oopsie. ^_^

v1.0a - Everybody was able to equip espers, which would make Very Bad Things™
happen. This was due to a bad branch instruction (BCC instead of BCS). It's
effectively a one-byte fix.

v1.0 - Initial release
