Known issues with v2.0.0+
Sirfetch'd evolution currently is just level up with leek, instead of 3 crits
Ultrabeasts, Hoopa, and Cosmog line not yet added. Coming soon in new postgame plot
Some gen 8 Pokemon do not yet have back sprite art, so they use front sprites instead. These will be updated as Smogon makes them.
Upgrading from previous versions:
With an existing savefile will have the Pokedex not work quite properly. There should be a dex for each cannon region + kiraki+ legendary+ national dex, but version 1.2 only had one region+national dex, so you can only see the Kanto and National dex (mislabeled Johto) due to how the pokedex data is stored. Starting a new game will fix it
Any fakemon + sylveon that exist in old savefile will be overwritten with the first 11 Pokemon of the Kalos dex, due to how it reads in the pokemon pbs file
Additionally any new moves will be overwritten by gen 6-8 moves. A TM or move tutor can fix most pokemon.
Some Items will change. If this is particularly annoying you can send me your save file to fix the items
You won't have trainers to give you locations of seen for gen 6-8 Pokemon
Potentially Roaming legendary Pokemon can become bugged and end up on a map that no longer exists. Send me your save it this happens.
Some legendary events may be reset, but this just means potentially more legendaries for you!
