Refined Platinum (v3.1)

[RefinedPlatinum]

Hello, everyone!
Refined Platinum v3.1.4 is out now, at https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5667/
This uses the 4997 or "Rev 1" as a base and the Delta Patcher (https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/) for patching.
All changes were made in AdAstra and Nomura's DSPRE, and turtleisaac's Pokeditor v2. may contain trace amounts of PPRE

Platinum is a time-tested and thoroughly honored game for the DS. There are patches like Renegade Platinum that revamp the game as a whole and make substantial changes to Pokemon and trainers alike; however, even these have been few, and next to none have been built with the goal of KEEPING the original Platinum experience.
With that in mind, I have made a patch explicitly meant to take the vanilla Platinum experience, and improve the game without violating it. That is to say, it's a 493 patch built with all of Platinum's bells and whistles still in place.
There's also some QoL changes like having the 2x HP Speed, more wild held items, and fully legal movepool changes. It also adds additional postgame content, ranging from legendaries to - as of 3.0 - superbosses, enhanced Battlegrounds/E4 rematches, and PC trainers. To top it all off, the Battle Zone is stronger, and the postgame as a whole has more grit to it. However, much of the pre-E4 trainers are the same.
All events that were released for the original Platinum have been restored. This means Shaymin, Darkrai, Regis and the Rotom Room have been fully restored. Azure Flute is handled differently, as it was never actually released.

This is Refined Platinum



Changes Include

*A More Diverse Sinnoh - all insertion exclusive Pokémon are now found via Poke Radar or walking in postgame areas. Furthermore, all Trophy Garden, Great Marsh, Version Exclusive, and Honey Tree Pokémon can now be found through other means. The ones in the Sinnoh Dex can now be found be walking. NO Pokémon outside of the Sinnoh Dex has been added to pre-E4 areas, with one exception. There are Combees and Tropius in the grass, but the wild encounters are still close to what you'd see in vanilla.
*Single Player Evolutions - You can get EVERY Pokémon without having to trade in any way, shape, or form. All trade evolutions have been fixed, plus specifically Feebas.
*A Held Item In Every Slot - Countless wild Pokémon now have held items, especially berries and the like. This also means more shards and more lucky items you can get.
*An Acquired Phrase - while the core plot is identical, many NPCs have new dialogue. These are mostly to reflect the changes made, or just for flavor.

Version 2.0 Changes
*Legend of Sinnoh - ALL Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are now available as STATIC ENCOUNTERS (like most legendaries are); furthermore, all events released for the original Platinum have been restored and can be completed in-game. See the readme for more details.
*Move Over - A notable amount of movepool changes have been made, plus new movesets for legendaries. This smooths out getting certain builds and helps some of the worst Pokémon, all while being 100% legal for Gen 4 (based off of Heartgold/Soulsilver movepools). Expanded in v3.1.
*Peak Ability - **THIS ONLY AFFECT TRAINERS, AND DOES NOT AFFECT BATTLE FRONTIER TRAINERS NOR WILD POKEMON IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM** Certain Pokémon have had abilities 1 and 2 swapped so trainers will have better ability options. Expanded in v3.1.
FOR EXAMPLE, Croagunk normally has Anticipation/Dry Skin, so trainers had Croagunks with Anticipation. This is changed to Dry Skin/Anticipation, so trainers will have Croagunks with Dry Skin.

Version 3.0 Changes
*Celestial Alignment - SUPERBOSSES HAVE BEEN ADDED! Get rained out by Saturn, talk to Cyrus within the void, keep Prof. Oak entertained with a battle, and more. Post-Stark challenges have been added for the strongest of parties.
*Elite Street - POSTGAME REMATCHES for the Elite Four and Battlegrounds have NEW TEAMS and/or alternate text. Barry no longer has time requirements. Most midgame trainers are unedited, but the Commanders have new teams and lategame trainers have slight buffs.
Rebalancing of earlier features, and especially a certain pair of Battle Zone fights.
*Time Enough - HP bars update up to 2x as fast. Purely aesthetic, but good QoL.
And, finally, 3.1 changes
*Zoning Violation - POSTGAME AREAS HAVE BEEN BUFFED! The Battle Zone is now a rugged trek instead of a gentle parade, with tougher wilds and stronger trainers. Traversing the area should be a decent endurance challenge. Buck and Marley are now stronger partners to compensate. Many rematches have also been buffed.
*Transit of Eris - ADDITIONAL SUPERBOSSES are present. Mars and Jupiter have arrived, and Charon is under house arrest.
*Central Affairs - Pokémon Center fights now scale better, and are much stronger post-Stark with new teams.

Releases

v2.1 - Trainer Abilities
*Certain Pokemon have had their first and second abilities swapped, that way trainers with a Machop will have No Guard instead of Guts. THIS HAS NO EFFECT OUTSIDE OF NORMAL TRAINERS, AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE BATTLE FRONTIER NOR WILD POKEMON IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

Hi! Is this hack really working?

I've downloaded the right version and the hack files then patched it. The patcher (xdelta) screen Said that the patch was applied correctly but I've been playing the game for a couple of hours and didn't find any of the other starters at the grass nor anything different from vanilla.
Is there any way to know, such as any feature or a different opening that could tell me that I'm really playing the refined platinum version rather than the original one?
