Version 0.71.0

Released 2026-10-05

Battles

  • Helping Hand now boosts the partner's attack in double battles.
  • In double battles, moves that pick a random foe now do, and Imprison seals moves known by either opponent.
  • Castform now shows its weather forms in battle when Forecast changes its type; the game re-extracts once to add them.
  • Life Orb recoil and Shell Bell now apply after a move knocks out the foe's last Pokemon; an orb that faints your last one too is a draw.
  • Every Poke Ball that opens to send a Pokemon out now makes its opening sound, as in Emerald.
  • A fainted Pokemon's health box now leaves the screen with it, so an empty spot in a double battle shows no box, as in Emerald.

Interface

  • An empty PC box can be deleted from its tab menu.
  • The client now installs a small pack of our own item art beside the game files, ready for upcoming item icons.
  • Every Pokemon now shows its Original Trainer, where and at what level it was met, the ball, and the date.
  • The PokeNav, EXP Candy and soda icons now come from that pack of our own art instead of the legacy art download.
  • A Pokemon can be released from the party or the PC after a confirmation; its held item goes back to the Bag.
  • The Repel Tonic and the Exp. Reamplifier now have their own icons in the bag and on the action bar.

Fixes

  • Closing a window hands the controller focus back to the window underneath.
  • The channel move notice no longer sticks on Consolidating.
  • The ghosts of Pokemon Tower no longer drop out of step with the server every turn, with or without the Silph Scope.
  • A ghost battle picked back up after a reconnect stays a ghost battle instead of losing step again on every turn.
  • A bag or party that failed to load is no longer saved back empty over the stored one.
  • Renaming a PC box works again: double-click the tab or press F2, type, press Enter.
  • Your rival in Oak's lab walks out again when you finish his fight after a reconnect, instead of vanishing on the spot.
  • Pokemon you see on Kanto signs and pictures stay in your Pokedex after your next battle instead of disappearing.
  • A Pokemon that left your party and comes back after Rare Candies no longer stops your game from saving.
  • The GM heal command now refuses during a battle instead of putting the party out of step with the world.
  • HP Up, Protein, Iron, Calcium, Zinc and Carbos now raise a Pokemon's EVs.
  • The Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa and Tamato Berries now lower a Pokemon's EVs and make it friendlier.
  • Mind Reader no longer leaves its user invisible after the animation in Kanto battles.
  • The Silph Scope's ghost-reveal animation now changes the ghost into its real Pokemon instead of running a Castform form change.
