Changelog v1.1.1 -> v1.2

What’s new?

• Play with perfect IVs and disabled EVs on any difficulty!
• Completely new battle interface and battle background!
• Two new services in the Pokemon Center:
  • Change Hidden Power type
  • Set IV of specific stat to 0
• Sandbox Auto Heal option, that heals you after every battle

And for all the nuzlockers out there:

• Export your team and boxes to the calculator with custom lua script, see docs (credits to Tennis)
• starters are now selected randomly upon interacting with Birch’s bag instead. this removes unnecessary replaying of the intro

For all the details, see the full changelog using the “Changelog” button in the Udeful Stuff section above the Downloads.

Note: The trainer imports have not changed, you don’t have to re-import. Also, if you want to use the lua script you have to update to v1.2.(edited)

FAQs

What are the level caps?

• Badge 1: Lv. 16
• Badge 2: Lv. 24
• Badge 3: Lv. 36
• Badge 4: Lv. 47
• Badge 5: Lv. 50

IMPORTANT BUG DISCLAIMER

If you lose the 3 vs. 3 battle against Norman in the Pokémon League you will permanently lose the other three Pokémon that didn’t participate in battle.

Workaround: Load your last save file if you lose the battle and don’t save after losing the Pokémon.
