    Nice work! I'm gonna start 2.0 real soon. I played the faithful hack last time so I'll play the full one this time :) I'll post my thoughts again once I have finished.

    To quote Rangi on cheats here: Most of the codes have changed. If you really want some, you can compile vanilla pokecrystal and Polished Crystal, and compare their .sym files. So if the code for a wild shiny in Crystal is 910730D2, and D230 in the pokecrystal .sym file is labeled BattleType, and BattleType in the Polished Crystal .sym file is D235, then the new shiny code for Polished Crystal would be 910735D2. Complicated, I know, but that's how you earn cheat codes.

    In other words, if any of you can compile a list of cheats for this hack, go for it! I really don't know if I'll have time to grind as the difficulty ramps up in the second half. Also, I don't know how Github works well in that department either so it's doubly hard on my end. :(

    He'll be outside the Game Corner after you beat Whitney and get the Coin Case.

    Oops. For now, just turn off Nuzlocke mode before withdrawing from the Day-Care.

    Gah, how did I not notice this. >_<

    I'll fix this and the Day-Care Nuzlocke bug in 2.0.1. Just waiting to get more bug reports so they can all be fixed in one update. It should be save-compatible too.

    Another one for (you) featuring the ruins of alph, viewing the wall inscriptions in pretty much all but the first room you can access crashes the game, sometimes hilariously into a glitchy reset ala the coin case trick for glitch city

    That hitmonchan I killed gave less than the blissey despite being 60 levels higher hilariously enough, then a 137 exeggutor destroyed me with petal dance

    EDIT: Yet another bug for (you), when you change the PC box via phone it bugs out and doesn't work, it lets you catch stuff but after you do it spits out a bunch of garbage text on the line where it says the pokemon was sent to the PC and the pokemon you caught will be nowhere to be found

    And to go further into this bug, once you switch a box via phone with bill it completely fucks up the boxes and forces you to load a savestate

    EDIT2: Minor moveset bug, magmortar can't learn Thunderbolt, in fact alot of its TMs moves are wrong (unless this was intentional, in which case Im sad)

    Rangi, I discovered a bug with the clock. For some reason, it's dark out but it was around 4:00 PM EST with Daylight Savings Time set that this was the case. This never happened with the clock in any prior hacks as TPP Crystal played nice with it as well as Bronze. I even reset my DS Lite's clock to the original time as I used the JST(Japan Standard Time) settings for my playthrough of Black. It's now 4:28 PM here and on my DS Lite. I really don't want to beat Falkner in a dark gym. :( I'll try a different rom and see if it comes up the same. I used the specified rom you stated in the ReadMe.

    UPDATE: Crisis averted! It was just a bad rom. I got the one I always get for hacks at the usual source. Everything's swell. It wasn't a bug at all, just a bad dump.

    +6 0 Atk Sharp Beak no iv lvl 47 Gyarados Bounce(90bp) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def lvl 100 max iv Hitmonchan: 278-330 (115.3 - 136.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    in the mean while theres one safe solution to the monster trainer. use his weak mons to setup/baton pass stuff.
