Loving it so far! Questions:
5. How much does the IV perfector cost? Is it per IV or does it do all of them at once? What about the EV reducer?
6. Is the happiness groomer a once per day event? How much does it increase the happiness by?
5. $350.000, I woudl advise you to only apply it on a Ditto, equipped with a Destiny Knot you pass down 5 of the combined 12 IVs of parents at the DayCare. Especially in version 2.0 with 90% chance to get an egg after 256 steps, it's REALLY fast to get one or two hatched eggs with 4 or 5 perfect IVs, put it instead of the original pokemon, repeat and get a new offspring with 5 maxed IVs easily, maybe 6 if you are lucky with RNG. That's how I got my Blaziken, Greninja & Lucario with perfect IVs barring one (usually Special Attack or Attack) during end game.
6. Yes once per day, for $500. It increases your pokemon's happness by 30. Most start at 50 or 70, so it doesn't take long to get to 220 for happiness-based evolutions (like Riolu-> Lucario). In my case, running an emulator on my android phone, I could advance the phone clock to the next day to make it available again. In the same way I could change the time of day to get to Night-time or Day-time for specifics pokemon encounters.
But, with a Soothe Bell, just going into battle and getting about 25 levels up makes the pokemon evolve due to happiness anyway, much faster lol.

Alright! Finished version 1.11a!
The first boss of the Elite 4, Lorelei gave me the most headache during the final push.
The champion, Blue, also had a nice twist with one of his pokémon, able to counter sweep my team thanks to his ability (and a Choice Scarf, wouldn't be fun otherwise lol).
Too bad I took a reading of this ability on Bulbapedia and found out Substitute prevents it.
I got one of Blue's pokemon stuck in a Choice locked resisted move. All I had to do was spam Dragon Dance to +6 with Mega-Salamence, spam Roost when needed, use Substitute, and then Double-Edge FTW lol
Mega-Salamence FTW
One thing that would have been nice, is the possibility to buy Air Balloons, Focus Sashes etc.
I know the 2.0 version allows you to re-use a consumable item like the aforementioned ones, but the only one you get in the whole game is one Focus Sash.
And 8 or 9 berries to reduce super effective type damage but those you can buy an unlimited number of in PokéMarts anyway.
Well, the fact you can "steal" Life Orbs @5% (technically 20% with a Compound Eyes leader) from Absol in Safari Zone 1 greatly helped anyway, I had 4 in my party lol Only took like 20 min to get 3 in Safari Zone 1 after maybe 15 catches :D
