Fixed bug where those who start with Cyndaquil can’t fight the new Bug Catcher Adam in Ilex Forest
Fixed odd egg bug where they can de-level from level 10 and have incorrect stats
Removed glitchy shiny toggle feature

Fixed VR boulder glitch (finally) and Karate King sprite glitch (I think lol)
Fixed buggy Route 12 Fisher
Fixed buggy menu when buying coins (you can now see your coin total)
Fixed bug where Tom can walk on pillars on Route 8
Fixed bug where Cloyster Hoister man doesn’t teleport after paying him (fixed Fuchsia and Route 14 new berry tree constants)
Fixed the bug with Sage Masa’s team
Fixed mistake with Dojo quest and added a tip sign to the dojo

AI improvements (e.g. AI now properly evaluates the power of move effects like multi/triple-hit, Thief will now be used so watch out)
Better wild encounter availability, many revisions to trainer parties
Daycare man now stands outside the pen/fence when he has an egg for you (excluding odd egg)
Removed grass from in front of daycare, making it easier to go up and down through Goldenrod to hatch eggs
Restored Battle Tower; BT now features only 2 level tiers: 50 and 100 (available only after Hall of Fame). Ubers can
be used for tier 100 and opponents at that level will also have access to them. New BT battle music and BT Pokemon have been revised and rebalanced

Can Fly from all outdoor areas (including Goldenrod Dept Store Roof and Celadon Mansion Roof) and can now Fly to Battle Tower
New music for Trainer House battles (same as BT), E4 Level cap is 70 instead of 75
Friendship changes: Friend Ball sets starting happiness at 150 instead of 200; friendship evolution occurs at friendship 200+
Many learnset improvements (see in documentation), a few base stat (Hitmons notably) and move changes (e.g. Fly buffed to 80 pow, Triple Kick buffed to 28-168 pow)
Pre-Bugsy grind was reduced by adding Ledian to Ilex encounters (morn/day) and increasing base exp yields for Pokemon encountered in Ilex;
Slowpoke Well now has Geodude and more Slowpoke encounters, and wild levels have been increased for this part of the game
Also, increased base exp yields for many buffed Pokemon, particularly those that don’t evolve (e.g. Gligar gives more exp because its stats are now closer to Gliscor’s)
PokeCenter healing dialogue is much shorter, Lure Ball is now x4 catch rate, Houndour now evolves at level 42
Surfing Pikachu is now always red, regardless of player gender; “ATK” in the Move menu (from the party menu) is now “POW” for power
Mystery Gift is now obtained automatically after defeating the E4 (to later unlock a new title screen)

New HP and EXP bars by Idain + red caught poke ball and gender symbols with help from KDL Pro
New overworld and in-battle ball sprites and capture animation (in-battle sprites from Polished and modified by Idain, animation, and other HUD improvements by me)
Improvements to some icons and sprites, notably Rocket sprites and trainer card graphics
Overworld grass color is now a nicer green rather than lime

New endgame Youngster Joey rematch and Miracle Seed can no longer be missed
Added temporary battle (will not exist in the same format in future updates) against an old foe, hinting at the future of the hack

Added a new side quest to Route 16 that unlocks cross-region Fly
Added a new main story quest to Fuchsia

Two new maps for the new Fuchsia quest (Safari Zone Office repurposed);
Fuchsia got many other changes, including Pokemon in the pens like three years ago – Roof palettes have been changed to better reflect each city’s color/theme
Viridian, Vermilion, Celadon, Saffron, Lavender, and Blackthorn maps have new buildings (empty pending future updates)
Olivine move reminder house swapped with Fishing Guru’s

TM Endure replaced with Sludge Bomb and the latter with Giga Drain (Erika now gives nothing)
TMs Endure, Sweet Scent and Defense Curl are now obtainable at the Goldenrod Game Corner
The Sweet Scent girl now gives the Lucky Egg instead, as Sweet Scent is purchased at the Goldenrod Game Corner
Thunder, Blizzard and Fire Blast are only obtained in Kanto (see doc for details)
TM Rollout is now obtained on Route 46 (post-Rock Smash) and TM Sleep Talk was moved to Route 4
TM Psych Up now has the Calm Mind effect and is obtained by defeating Sabrina
Replaced TM Roar with TM Teleport (no longer need Cut to reach it); can be learned by all gen 1 Pokemon that originally could, all gen 2 psychic-types (other than Unown) including Wobbuffet, and Ninetales, Persian, three beasts, Stantler, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Venonat, Hoothoot, Noctowl, Togetic, Delibird, Porygon2, Blissey, and Ho-Oh
