Changelog

V1.4.1

  • Viridian Forest’s Beehive crashed the game if the player interacted with it. Thank you to for spotting this game breaking problem.
  • Levitating Pokémon did not function entirely and some non-levitating Pokémon were immune to moves like Earthquake. This one was a little more complex, so a big thank you to for not only spotting both parts of this problem, but for also thoroughly testing it, to help me narrow down what had to be fixed.
