Dev Notes: This version adds a 5th gym to the game, Pokémon Contests, a Nuzlocke Mode, and various smaller improvements! To celebrate the addition of the Nuzlocke Feature, I am hosting a Nuzlocke Contest on our
Discord Server, since nobody has successfully defeated the game as a Nuzlocke yet! The prize? Your player character and team will be added into the World Tournament (similar to the Elite Four) as one of the final boss battles of the game! Check my next post for information on the rules.
The changelog for this version is below.
