Hotfix v1.12.0.1

Bug Fixes

• Added a safeguard to prevent partial data loss of starters. If triggered, players will need to clear their site data for pokerogue.net to re-download the correct save data from the server.
• Fixed an issue potentially causing the Pokédex to grab the wrong form for certain Pokémon which may have also caused some slowdown due to printing excessive console logs.

Balance

• Starmie now has the correct attack stat.
• Battle Bond Greninja is now set as a Sub-Legendary to prevent it from generating too early and other effects.
• Fixed Mega Delphox passive.

Misc

• Event extended for 1 day due to save issues.

Art

Major Update v1.12.0.0

General

• Implemented all new Mega Evolutions!

• Added two new music tracks for Tall Grass and Cave by Big!
  • Tall Grass
  • Cave
• Implemented abilities added in ZA
• Implemented Nihil Light
• Implemented Rage

Memory / Performance

• Biome-related assets are now loaded on demand instead of all at once, reducing memory usage.

Balance

• All Champions Balance Changes (moves and abilities) have been applied.
• National Dex movesets!
  • Pokémon can now generally learn all moves that were available to them in any main game generation
  • Many Pokémon have had their evolution levels adjusted to match evolution moves
  • TM compatibility has been updated with Gen IX, ZA, and M-A/M-B from Champions
• Inkay now requires Topsy-Turvy to evolve (our version of the device flipping requirement)
• Replaced Thunderbolt with Earth Power on the final boss in Inverse mode

• Memory Mushroom / Relearning adjustments

  • Moves learned by prevolutions will now be available via memory mushroom when at the correct level. For example, Breloom is able to learn Spore via Memory Mushroom if it is at or above level 40, because Shroomish learns Spore at level 40.
    • Note that this does not apply to moves which the evolution will learn later, so the benefit of delaying evolutions to get moves earlier still exists
  • A new message will be shown when a Pokémon unlocks a prevolution's move after leveling up (for example, when Breloom reaches level 40)

UI

• Added the luck value to the window.gameInfo object, further supporting plugin developers
• Adjusted/Updated composer credits
