Changelog

V1.2.0

• All Pokemon in the Kulure Dex have had level up movesets have been bumped to gen 8 for easier planning

  • Egg moves, TM/HM compatibility, and Tutor Compatibility is unchanged

  • Your existing teams are fine as is! If a Pokemon no longer learns a move, you can continue to use it if it is currently in your 4 move list

• A second options page (accessible by pressing L / R) lets you change some highly requested features:

  • Ability to auto sort the bag

  • Ability to change your difficulty setting

  • Ability to change your level cap choice

  • Ability to skip story cutscenes

• Added 999 Rare Candies for Nuzlockers (using these are not recommended for regular play!) These can be found by interacting with your mailbox in Anthra Town 5 times. They’ll be silently added to your inventory

• Morning/Day and Evening/Night are now considered equivalent for evolutions, with the exception of Lycanroc-Dusk, making it easier to evolve certain Pokemon

• Fast text speed and Stereo sound are set by default when starting a new game

• Lots of bug fixes, including the infamous bad egg bug and strange champion issues

  • If your postgame NPCs are missing, enter the hall of fame again to restore them

  • Important: I’m not 100% what causes the champion issue to occur so I’ve put some preventative measures into Victory Road & the Hall of Fame sequence to try and repair the game

V1.1.5

Significant Changes

• Updated the title screen to include creator & version info. Copyright screen’s project dates are updated as well.
• Added Lum berries to the Tsarvosa City Market berry shop
• Added the ability to buy evolution items (Linking Cord, King’s Rock, Razor Claw, Dragon Scale, and Reaper Cloth) to a Tsarvosa City Market seller. Their old inventory moved to the bitter herbs seller. The price of King’s Rock is increased to $3000 to match similar items.
• Added the ability to buy Everstones and Destiny Knots from Daimyn City Mall’s evolution stone seller
• Adjusted part of Route 18’s map so the player couldn’t walk on invalid tiles
• Decreased the encounter rate in Rubarr Desert from 3 to 1 (the minimum) to make it more enjoyable to explore. The DexNav is received shortly after so the ability to find Pokemon isn’t impacted significantly

Bug Fixes

• Added an automatic patch to fix hard level caps in historic saves
• Adusted Ultra Space researcher fix to be more broad – now checks if player has finished Carnelidge Volcano story events, because players can return before postgame
• Fixed a quirk in new-game setup that prevented players from changing level caps if hard mode was chosen beforehand

• Fixed Focus Sash held item usage
• Fixed Swampertite being repeatedly accessible in the overworld

• Fixed a bug that prevented the player’s starter from always obeying (fix applies to new games only)
• Fixed a few grammatical errors in dialogue

• Fixed a bug in the display text of Grass Knot
