Pelipper Town

1.2.0 (9/10/2026)

• Added the VS Seeker: four battle tiers, weekly rewards, and 568 teams for 142 villagers across vanilla and supported expansions. Battles work indoors and outdoors, with one win per villager each week. A friendly match is a full team fight: when your Pokémon faints the next healthy one steps in, and you can swap mid-battle. The match only ends when a side runs out.
• Added a Battle Journal with permanent victory stickers and weekly rematch tracking, plus a Pokémon Journal with collection, habitat, passive, and mount information.
• Fixed journal mail for older saves. Both journals now recolor the native book sprite: red for Pokémon and yellow for battles, without clipping.
• Fixed Pokémon Journal icon outlines drawing as dull grey instead of their colour, so shiny entries read as orange at a glance.
• Fixed the "Let's battle!" button on the VS Seeker confirmation doing nothing. The same fault silently broke the skill respec profession choices, which now advance properly as well.
• Fixed a VS Seeker challenge being refused whenever wild Pokémon were fighting nearby. Only another battle blocks a friendly match now, and the refusal says which one.
• Shortened the trainer's cheers during a friendly battle to a rotating set of brief lines, so the speech bubble no longer covers the fight.
• Fixed controller navigation in the Pokémon storage menus. Focus no longer skips rows, the pointer no longer jumps to an unrelated control when you change direction with "Controller style menu" off, and the confirm button now acts on what you actually selected. Arrow keys work in mod menus again.
• Diversified villager teams and improved trainer move selection.
• Added Skarmory, Pawniard, Bisharp, and Kingambit with full art and support.
• Added a per-pair Barn breeding toggle; nonbreeding pairs still receive care and produce items. Auto-Petter care now grants 5 Bond.
• Restored wild populations on both islands below the Beach and fixed across-water spawning for Zapdos and other landmark legendaries.
• Anchored Regidrago's entrance on the northern Caldera ledge, clear of the Forge route. Fixed disappearing Regi doors, unintended re-entry, and chamber weather.
• Fixed Rockruff's Midday and Dusk evolution validation.
• Made the Four Signs birds and Lugia passive until attacked, including Crown rematches.
• Expanded seven legendary learnsets; existing Pokémon recover eligible moves without replacing equipped moves.
• Kept habitat clues visible for caught Pokémon and corrected Hisuian Sneasel/Sneasler's spawn listings.
• Preserved fossil collection credit after donations and recovered missing fossil and evolution-mineral discoveries, including for farmhands.
• Fixed Saved Teams leaving duplicate or frozen support Pokémon, mounts disrupting cutscenes, and companions blocking players.
• Preserved chosen villager partners and fixed Linus's Cubone handoff for farmhands.
• Added a Normal Plate recipe and corrected Soothe Bell's recipe and price.
• Fixed Kyogre watering outdoor crops and Rest curing ailments at full health.
• Added 1–20 vanilla Combat XP per wild Pokémon defeat.
• Fixed guide close buttons, quest paragraph breaks, and missing translations.
• Improved battle and quest performance; added slowdown profiling and a clearer disabled-mod reminder.
• Updated player guides, troubleshooting, and the Excel Master List.
