  • Hall of Fame will now include fainted mons (Will indicate which mons have fainted by having them appear in a darker color)
  • Improved mon selection for “untyped” boss trainers
  • Shedinja no longer requires a spare Pokeball to evolve (It will just inherit the Nincada’s ball, as it was in gen3)

Major Features

  • Added Kanto and Johto routes (Can be toggled in secret room, enabled by default)
  • Added Kanto, Johto & ??? leaders (Can be toggled in secret room, disabled by default)
  • Added regional dex mode for enabling generations! (The old behavior is still in; it is now referred to as National dex mode)
  • Added Charm & Curse items which serve as per run buff/debuffs (These can do crazy stuff such as: increase crit rate, give all mons an extra ability such as shedskin, prevent you from catching duplicates etc.)
  • Removed graveyard encounter and replaced with 2 new ones
  • New encounter “The Lab” can be used get mons which have previously fainted, although there is a risk of getting a Curse if you do (The chance of getting a curse increases the deeper into a run you get)
  • New encounter “The Dark Deal” considered a late game version of “The Game Show” (You will be able to select one of 3 Charms but at the cost of a random Curse)
  • Added Legendary encounter difficulty setting (The pre v1.3 encounter rate is considered the “Easy” setting)
  • Added “Legendary Clause”; if you bring in a legendary into a run as a partner, trainers will also be allowed to have legendaries of a similar effectiveness (i.e. if you bring Phione, you’re not gonna see a trainer with an Arceus)
  • Added escape rope item (Expensive, but can be used to instantly escape from all non-boss encounters)
  • EV rework which discourages grinding but rewards players for keeping Pokemon for a long time (EVs are now rewarded at the very end of trainer battles and are given to Pokemon -based on their nature)
  • Added a Mysterious Man to the hub (More details to be revealed later)
  • Added a bunch more Quests! (Most of which are in the “Hard to beat” classification O.O)
  • It’s now possible to get a gold trainer card for completing rogue-specific goals (Have fun community guide group)
  • Optimised loading which happens during map and battle transitions (All modes/configs should be pretty snappy now)

Tweaks

  • Mini bosses (Strong Trainers) will now offer you one of their Pokemon, as a reward for beating them (Stats will be adjusted, but moveset and ability will remain the same)

  • Added plus icon next to mega and z move prompt (So hopefully new players know to press start)
  • Added indicator to tutors to show how many moves are currently unavailable (Not changed any behaviour here; just made it clearer)
  • Increased item stack size to 999 (Doesn’t give extra bag slots, just means you can have up to 999 items in the same item in a single slot)

  • A small selection of Quests are now active during Gauntlet Mode runs -Increased berry gain -EV gain items can no longer be purchased in the hub
