| Changelog (v1.0.2) |
o-----------------------------------------------------o

=========================================================
General Information
=========================================================

Overtime, I will periodically update Redux to fix any issues that may come up and
to keep the game updated as time goes on.
- If you find any issues with Redux, be sure to tweet them at me (@AphexCubed) and
I'll try to fix them!

=========================================================
Changelog
=========================================================

~~~~~ v1.0.2 (02/04/22) ~~~~~

This patch is compatible with older saves. To update, simply patch a Vanilla Rom
with the Complete version of Redux as before, and then any optional patches.
So long as you name the new patched file the same thing as the old patched file,
your save will carry over.
If you need help patching the game, please read the Patching Guide document.

However, to ensure complete save compatibility, you will need to go back and redo
all the new E4 meetings, if you've already seen them. They are found on:
- Driftveil Drawbridge.
- Twist Mountain entrance, Route 7.
- Undella Town.
- Opelucid Gate.
It should also be noted that old saves will still see Deoxys erroneously in the
Giant Chasm - just ignore him! New v1.0.2 saves won't have this issue.

Balance Changes:
- Seismitoad now learns Waterfall, at special request :)
- Raised the encounter rates for the Castelia City grass.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the Castelia Clowns incorrectly still referring to the Shiny Charm.

~~~~~ v1.0.1 (27/03/22) ~~~~~

Day one patch of Redux.

This patch is compatible with older saves. To update, simply patch a Vanilla Rom
with the Complete version of Redux as before, and then any optional patches.
So long as you name the new patched file the same thing as the old patched file,
your save will carry over.
If you need help patching the game, please read the Patching Guide document.

Balance Changes:
- Updated the Ranch Egg gift so that the eggs don't hatch instantly (but still
quickly), so that the player has some agency on where to hatch them.
- Swapped Bug Buzz and Fury Cutter on Kricketune, so that players don't get hung
up on reseting for Kricketot.
- Updated Butterfree and Beedrill's learnsets so that Confusion and Gust etc
aren't locked to the move relearner.
- Pushed Huge Power back on Jigglypuff, now only available as a Wigglytuff.
- Shuffled Jigglypuff's moves for better pacing the learnset progression of the
line (e.g. you don't get all the best moves straight away).
- Removed Dragon typing from Charmeleon.
- Swapped the levels that Blitzle learns Spark and Screech.
- Swapped Pikachu and Pachirisu on Route 5.
- Swapped Clear Smog for Haze on Litwick.
- Swapped Tail Slap for Double Hit and dropped Technician for Skill Link on
Challenge Mode Cheren's Aipom. This should make the AI a bit better, as well as
feeling less unfair if the AI unleashes a 120+ BP move on you!
- Reduced the odds of guaranteed Happiny or Togepi in the Shaking Ranch Grass.
- Shuffled Cubchoo's moves around so it's more in line with its peers power-wise.
- Swapped Acrobatics on Pansage to be consistent with the other Elemental Monkeys.
- Removed Double Kick on Cubone so it's more inline with its peers power-wise.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the Ranch Egg gift giving out undocumented Pokémon and missing some
documented Pokémon.
- Fixed Roxie incorrectly calling the player 'Testing', regardless of your actual
name.
- Fixed the incorrect positioning of trainers on Route 20. (Both this and the next
change were caused by the same thing!).
- Fixed an issue where completing the Pokéstar tutorial then fighting the Virbank
grunts will crash the game. The player now only has access to Pokéstar Studios
after beating Elesa, effectively solving the problem.
- Changed Wave Crash's animation so that your Pokémon doesn't disappear for the
rest of the fight after using the move.
- Fixed the documentation for Route 4's fishing encounters.
- Fixed the documents which had incorrect Feebas odds in Aspertia city.
- Fixed Disarming Voice so it now hits both opponents.
- Fixed Machop accidentally learning Bullet Seed, over Bullet Punch.
- Fixed Simisear accidentally learning Lava Plume, over Flame Burst.
- Fixed Pignite and Emboar accidentally learning Mud Bomb, over Mud Shot.
- Marowak now correctly learns Flare Blitz.
- Fixed Sneasel's abilities being the wrong away around, leading to confusion.
Sneasel and Weavile's abilities now line up correctly.
- Fixed Present generally being a bit broken.
- Fixed (hopefully!) Psychic Fangs not correctly breaking screens.
- Fixed the Blaze Black 2 version of Redux not containing the correct start-up
screen.
- Fixed Sunkern's first ability slot being incorrectly listed as Early Bird.
- Fixed the Unovan starters being Gender and Shiny Locked. Shiny-Lockes rejoice!

Documentation Changes:
- Updated the Gift Pokémon document to include the Unovan starters.
- Updated the Important NPCs document to include the EV/Level trainers.
- Updated the Important NPCs document to include the Audino trainer in Floccesy
Ranch.
- Updated the Pokémon Changes document to explicitly mention that the Elemental
Monkeys have a different growth rate compared to vanilla.
- Added the Infestation '----' bug to the Known Bugs document.
- Updated the Known Issues and Hardware Information document to list some of the
setups Redux is reported to work on.
- Updated all the documents to v1.0.1.
- Fixed Humilau City wild documentation.
- Added the Evolution Changes document.

Other:
- Added a version indicator to the Hall of Fame.
