Version 1.5 – The great rebalancing!

• Biggest balance changes so far
  • The whole update focuses on balancing, especially the early game
  • Some important fights have been balanced a lot
  • You get much more wild encounters >> better for Monotype runs
  • Many Pokémon have been rebalanced, some feel entirely new to use
  • Evolution items in the Mart are disabled until you beat Roxanne
  • The game should be a bit better to nuzlocke now (but keep in mind that it’s still not designed for it)
  • Take a look at all balance change below
• New Doubles Only option
  • You can turn this feature on or off anytime in the Options Menu
• Weather Rework
  • Weather induced by abilities like Drizzle, Drought etc. now last 8 respectively 12 turns (with Weather Rock items)
  • The damage boost remains unchanged at 20%, other boosts also (Def boosts etc.)
  • Manual weather by moves like Sunny Day etc. are unchanged >> still 5 turns, but with full 50% damage boost
• Reworked Speed Boosting abilities
  • They give a 50% boost instead of 100% now, they are more like a Choice Scarf now in terms of speed
  • This was needed as those abilities were too strong when stacked with other abilities (also in weather teams)
  • Affected abilities/innates: Swift Swim, Chlorophyll, Big Leaves, Sand Rush, Slush Rush, Surge Surfer
• Battle UI and Summary Screen now shows changed move types
  • Example: If you have Fighting Spirit which turns your Normal moves into Fighting-type, it now shows
• Check evolutions directly in the Summary Screen
  • No more need to go check the Dex!
  • To use > press right on the move screen
• Infinite Repel as Key Item
  • Much easier & faster to use now, also works when mapping to SELECT or list items
  • The Infinite Repel in the Options Menu has been removed
• Adjusted Level Caps
  • This was needed for balance reasons (early game)
• Removed Trainers having higher levels than you
  • Every trainer has the same levels as your highest Pokémon now.
    This is a community decision and is intended to make the game more fair.
    It mainly helps with who is moving first.

Version 0.9.7

• Reworked Difficulty Options
  • There are 3 difficulty options now:
    Easy — Ace — Elite
    
    The old Elite Mode has been renamed to Ace Mode (same teams as you’re used to).
    Elite Mode is the new, even harder mode.
    
    There will be much stronger teams for important fights (gym leaders, E4 etc.), but that takes some more time and is not implemented yet in v0.9.7.
• Innate progression for Elite Mode
  • For the new Elite Mode, you will have to unlock more Innates by leveling up
    >> this prevents evolved OP Pokémon like Honchkrow in the early game from being abused too much
    
    You start with 1 innate, unlock the 2nd one when beating Roxanne and the 3rd innate when beating Brawly
• Made some important fights harder
  • Completely reworked E4 + Champ
• New moves added
  • Steel Beam (140 BP, 100% acc, 50% recoil)
  • Aqua Fang (80 BP, 100% acc, 10% flinch chance)
  • Wave Crash (120 BP, 100% acc, 33% recoil)
• 3 New Randomizers: Ability, Innate and Wild Encounter
  • You can choose to randomize Abilities, Innates or Wild Encounters for new games
    >> this is a “true” randomizer, this means, every Pokémon you catch is unique and can have other abilities/innates
    Example: one Rattata has Huge Power, another one has Sage Power
    
    Wonder Guard and other obvious abilities like Zen Mode are excluded.
    
    Keep in mind, that this feature is a work-in-progress, as those unexpected combinations can cause bugs
• Reworked Setup Menu for New Game
  You can’t change those options later in-game, only for new games (excecpt Individual Colors)
• Gen 8 Starters added
  • Now you can choose the Galar region at the start of the game
• Updated Easy Level Caps to be more challenging
  • Now you have caps for 3 more badges
• New Info Option for Trainer Battles
  • Now you can click on Info to see the enemy teams
    >> Replaced the Bag as it’s locked anyway
  • For wild encounters, just press L to see the same screen
• Hall of Fame shows Mega evolutions
  • It now shows the Mega form when you equipped the corresponding Mega Stone.
    Even works with Mega Rayquaza!
• Redesigned Juan’s gym (8th badge)
  • No more ice puzzles, far less trainers to beat.
    Should allow for a faster playthrough.
    
    Also reworked some teams for the trainers before Juan.
• New abilities
  • Buginize: All Normal-type moves used by the Pokémon to become Bug-type and receive a 20% power boost.
    >> not distributed to any Pokémon yet for v0.9.7-beta
