v1.10.0 - Pearls & Perils

Summary

Challenges

4 new challenges: 3 Nuzlocke-related and 1 for Fresh Start

• Limited Catch: Only the first Pokémon encountered per biome (i.e. on X1 waves) will be added to the player’s party when caught
• Exceptions are Gift Pokémon from MEs, which are always allowed
• Hardcore: Fainted Pokémon will “die” permanently and cannot be revived.
• Limited Support (3 levels): Choose to disable the automatic party heal during biome transitions (X0 waves), the rewards screen shop, or both
• Complete a run with Limited Catch, Hardcore, and Fresh Start active at once to earn the new “Nuzlocke” achievement and even a new ribbon!
  • The current sprite is a placeholder and will be changed in a future update
• New mode for Fresh Start (“Any Starter”) allows picking any starter currently unlocked with standard Fresh Start restrictions. Certain Pokémon are locked to their base form, and all Hidden Abilities are disabled.
  • Current Fresh Start mode renamed to ”Full Reset”, and is still required for the Fresh Start achievement

RIBBONS!

Introduction of new ribbons for accomplishments beyond Classic Mode completion

• Nuzlocke completion (same unlock criteria as achievement)
• Max friendship
• Completing challenge runs for eligible species (tracked per individual challenge)
  • As with achievements, Flip Stats and Inverse Challenge will not unlock other Challenges’ ribbons
  • Only Pokémon eligible for the current challenge can be awarded ribbons. For instance, beating a Mono Gen 1 + Mono Grass run would not give either ribbon to Chikorita, but would give both to Bulbasaur.
• These new ribbons are tracked per Pokédex species (instead of per starter)
• Except for the Nuzlocke Ribbon, these are not visible in-game yet (due to lacking both sprites and a dedicated place to view them). However, progress will still be tracked until they are made available.
• Ribbon tracking is inherited by all pre-evolutions
  • Ex: Finishing a run with Hydrapple will give the ribbon to Dipplin and Applin, but NOT Flapple or Appletun.
• Classic Ribbons remain the same, with one ribbon (and one Voucher Plus) per starter

QoL

• Added the ability to change account password from the “Manage Data” menu
  • This will log you out of all other devices
  • Be sure to write down or remember the password! :regidespair:
• Added the ability to rename or delete runs from the “Load Session” screen
• Legendary UP! Gacha now shows time left until the next daily rotation
  • Note that the same timer applies to Daily Runs and Pokérus
• “Transfer Items” menu has been expanded and rechristened as “Manage Items”, now allowing discarding items from party members
• Defeating the final Pokémon before a biome transition will no longer trigger end-of-turn effects such as Berry consumption and weather damage.

Moves/Abilities

Future Sight and Doom Desire have been fully implemented, with many, many more Moves and Abilities having received minor to major bugfixes in the meantime.

• While not many new abilities have been implemented, major refactors to many internal systems have paved the way to even more.
  With 1.11 and the upcoming Modifier Rework on the horizon, we are getting very close to implementing most of (if not all) remaining un- and partially implemented moves/abilities.
• As always, if you want to help assist the development process in any way, feel free to give yourself the 'Development' role in #⁠select-roles and head on over to #⁠dev-corner. We are always looking for more volunteers!

Evolution changes

• Deep Sea Tooth & Deep Sea Scale added as Clamperl-specific items in the Great Ball tier, doubling its Attack and Special Attack respectively.
  • Its evolution now requires it to hold the Deep Sea Tooth (Huntail) or Deep Sea Scale (Gorebyss) and use the Linking Cord (Great Tier)
• Gallade, Frosslass and Hisuian Lilligant now use Dawn Stone to evolve
  • First 2 match mainline; latter balances out stone evo counts
  • Male Kirlia and Female Snorunt now evolve into Gardevoir and Glalie at their natural levels :thumbsupyu:

Pokedex Changes

Added a new filter for “Encountered Species” in the Pokédex.
The “Seen” stat has been refactored and split into two categories, as following:

• Caught: anything that the player has caught, hatched, or evolved/form changed. Unchanged
• Encountered (also referred to as “Fought”): anything that the player has met in the wild or from other trainers
• Seen: All species you have either caught or encountered.
• This will probably reduce the player’s number of “encountered” (formerly “seen”) as the previous method would let Pokémon be marked as “seen” by evolving or changing forms. The new max possible Encountered stat is 1080, with Phione and Arceus being the only unavailable ones.

Balance

• Your usual amount of Egg Move, Passive and Cost changes
• 6 MEs have been adjusted: A Trainer’s Test, The Expert Pokémon Breeder, The GTS, The Strong Stuff, Trash to Treasure, Weird Dream.
• Evil Leader Changes and Champion teams have been adjusted, as well as the difficulty of early standard trainers
• A lot more other small changes (see #balance-changelog for more info)

Miscellaneous

Added Antique Form Sinistea and Polteageist, Artisan Form Poltchageist and Masterpiece Form Sinistcha. Sprites are not yet distinguishable.

Added the color red 🟥

🕹️Gameplay

• Three new challenges related to Nuzlocke mode have been added

  • Limited Catch: Prevents Pokémon from being added to the party on any wave that isn't the first wave in a biome (X1 waves).
    • Extra Pokémon can still be caught, just not added to the party
    • Gift Pokémon from Mystery Encounters can be added to the party regardless of wave
  • Hardcore: Prevents fainted Pokémon from being revived.
    • Revival items will not appear in the shop or rewards screen, and (if somehow spawned in) will have no effect on fainted Pokémon.
    • DNA Splicers will be unable to select fainted Pokémon for fusing.
    • Revival blessing will fail and be blacklisted from Metronome if used by a player.
    • Disables following MEs: Dark Deal, The Expert Pokémon Breeder
  • Limited Support: Disables the automatic party heal during biome transitions (after X0 waves) and/or the shop after every wave; that is, you can choose to disable either one or both at the same time

• Expanded Fresh Start to include an “Any Starter” mode

  • Follows same restrictions as current Fresh Start (No Egg Moves, Passives or Hidden Abilities, no shiny or variants, Neutral nature, IVs are capped to 15, Tera Type set to primary)
  • Pokémon with 2 non-Hidden Abilities can choose freely between them
  • Pichu, Pikachu, Eevee, Rotom, Meloetta, and Froakie are locked to their base form
  • Zygarde is locked to one of its Aura Break forms
  • Current Fresh Start mode with only First Partner Pokémon renamed to ”Full Reset”
    • The “Fresh Start” achievement still requires Full Reset Fresh Start

• During Challenge runs, the final boss cannot be caught in a Master Ball without weakening it to its last HP bar (the same restriction that other Balls would normally have).

• A new achievement, "Nuzlocke", requires finishing a run with Permanent Faint, Fresh Start, and Limited Catch challenges toggled on to their max difficulties.

• A new achievement “A Run A Day…” has been added for Completing a Daily Run. This does not apply retroactively, so go play Daily Run 🥳

• Ribbons have been greatly expanded

  • A new ribbon has been added for completing the “Nuzlocke” achievement with each species. The current sprite is a placeholder and will be changed in a future update
  • Tracking for ribbons for other challenges has been added; each Challenge grants a different ribbon, with each Monotype and Monogen Challenge granting a unique ribbon.
  • Another special ribbon for reaching 255 friendship with each Pokémon is available too, although the sprite will only be available in a future update
  • Notes:
    • Ribbons are inherited by all pre-evolutions; finishing a Nuzlocke with Gallade will unlock the ribbon for Ralts and Kirlia (but not Gardevoir)
    • Pokémon unavailable in a certain challenge won’t get the ribbons at run completion. For instance, Chimecho won’t earn the Gen 4 ribbon if it evolves during the run; you must finish the run with it as a Chingling

• “Seen” stat has been refactored and split into two categories, with adjustments to their methods. The new logic goes like this

  • Caught: anything that the player has caught, hatched, or evolved/form changed. Unchanged
  • Encountered (also referred to as “Fought”): anything that the player has met in the wild or from other trainers
  • Seen: the combination of both
  • Notes: This will probably reduce the player’s number of “encountered” (formerly “seen”) as the previous method would let Pokémon be seen by evolving or form changing it. The new max possible Encountered stat is 1080, with Phione and Arceus being the only unavailable ones.

• Renamed “Transfer Items” option on the post wave screen to “Manage Items”

• Added Discard Item option in Manage Items menu

• Defeating the final Pokémon of a final wave will no longer trigger end of turn effects such as berries and weather damage

• Added Antique Form Sinistea and Polteageist, Artisan Form Poltchageist and Masterpiece Form Sinistcha.

• Some UI/UX improvements in the starter select screen

  • When selecting Fresh Start mode, only options that can be chosen in the run will be visible; passives, hidden a...
