Version 0.69.0

Released 2026-10-05

Battles

  • Trainers now pick their moves like the cartridge's AI instead of at random.
  • Trainers with the Elite AI now go for the knockout when a move can faint your Pokemon.
  • Trainers with the Elite AI now weigh their options like the cartridge's smartest trainers: setup, status and speed all count.
  • Kanto Gym Leaders now use their Full Heal, as in FireRed.

Modes

  • New Hard Mode choice when creating a character: every trainer fights with the Gym Leader AI.

Interface

  • Field moves like Cut, Surf and Fly go on the action bar from the Pokemon menu; a slot greys when no Pokemon in the party knows the move.
  • The Route tracker draws its Pokemon twice as big, and hovering a row or moving to it with a pad shows that Pokemon larger still.
  • Route Pokemon can be bound to a key or a pad button in Settings (unbound by default).
  • Menus no longer race ahead when a controller's stick is held; one push moves the cursor once.
  • The Route Pokemon window and the Pokedex grid can be scrolled with a controller.
  • LB and RB turn the Bag's pockets on a controller, as they turn the pages of other windows.
