| ## QoL | ||
|
|
||
| - The catch tutorial and cutscenes during your first visit to Petalburg are skipped | ||
| - The match call tutorial after you leave Devon Corp is skipped | ||
| - Cycling and running is allowed in every map (some exceptions like Fortree and Pacifidlog) | ||
| - When you run out of Repel steps, you'll be prompted to use another one if you have more in your bag | ||
| - Text is always rendered in its entirety on the first frame (instant text) | ||
| - With an option set, text will advance if A is held | ||
| - The message explaining that the trainer is about to send out a new pokemon is shortened to fit on two lines so that | ||
| you can still read the species when deciding whether to change pokemon | ||
| - The Pokemon Center Nurse dialogue is entirely removed except for the final text box | ||
| - When receiving TMs and HMs, the move that it teaches is consistently displayed in the "received item" message (by | ||
| default, certain ways of receiving items would only display the TM/HM number) | ||
| - The Pokedex starts in national mode | ||
| - The Oldale Pokemart sells Poke Balls at the start of the game | ||
| - Pauses during battles (e.g. the ~1 second pause at the start of a turn before an opponent uses a potion) are shorter | ||
| by 62.5% | ||
| - The sliding animation for trainers and wild pokemon at the start of a battle runs at double speed. | ||
| - Bag space was greatly expanded (there is room for one stack of every unique item in every pocket, plus a little bit | ||
| extra for some pockets) | ||
| - Save data format was changed as a result of this. Shrank some unused space and removed some multiplayer phrases from | ||
| the save data. | ||
| - Pretty much any code that checks for bag space is ignored or bypassed (this sounds dangerous, but with expanded bag | ||
| space you should pretty much never have a full bag unless you're trying to fill it up, and skipping those checks | ||
| greatly simplifies detecting when items are picked up) | ||
| - Pokemon are never disobedient | ||
| - When moving in the overworld, set the input priority based on the most recently pressed direction rather than by some | ||
| predetermined priority | ||
| - Shoal cave changes state every time you reload the map and is no longer tied to the RTC | ||
| - Increased safari zone steps from 500 to 50000 | ||
| - Trainers will not approach the player if the blind trainers option is set | ||
| - Changed trade evolutions to be possible without trading: | ||
| - Politoed: Use King's Rock in bag menu | ||
| - Alakazam: Level 37 | ||
| - Machamp: Level 37 | ||
| - Golem: Level 37 | ||
| - Slowking: Use King's Rock in bag menu | ||
| - Gengar: Level 37 | ||
| - Steelix: Use Metal Coat in bag menu | ||
| - Kingdra: Use Dragon Scale in bag menu | ||
| - Scizor: Use Metal Coat in bag menu | ||
| - Porygon2: Use Up-Grade in bag menu | ||
| - Milotic: Level 30 | ||
| - Huntail: Use Deep Sea Tooth in bag menu | ||
| - Gorebyss: Use Deep Sea Scale in bag menu | ||
|
|
||
| ## Game State Changes/Softlock Prevention | ||
|
|
||
| - Mr. Briney never disappears or stops letting you use his ferry | ||
| - Prevent the player from flying or surfing until they have received the Pokedex | ||
| - The S.S. Tidal will be available at all times if you have the option enabled | ||
| - Some NPCs or tiles are removed on the creation of a new save file based on player options | ||
| - Ensured that every species has some damaging move by level 5 | ||
| - Route 115 may have strength boulders between the beach and cave entrance based on player options | ||
| - The Petalburg Gym is set up based on your player options rather than after the first 4 gyms | ||
| - The E4 guards will actually check all your badges (or gyms beaten based on your options) instead of just the Feather | ||
| Badge | ||
| - Steven cuts the conversation short in Granite Cave if you don't have the Letter | ||
| - Dock checks that you have the Devon Goods before asking you to deliver them (and thus opening the museum) | ||
| - Rydel gives you both bikes at the same time | ||
| - The man in Pacifidlog who gives you Frustration and Return will give you both at the same time, does not check | ||
| friendship first, and no longer has any behavior related to the RTC | ||
| - The woman who gives you the Soothe Bell in Slateport does not check friendship | ||
| - When trading the Scanner with Captain Stern, you will receive both the Deep Sea Tooth and Deep Sea Scale | ||
|
|
||
| ## Misc | ||
|
|
||
| - You can no longer try to switch bikes in the bike shop | ||
| - The Seashore House only rewards you with 1 Soda Pop instead of 6 | ||
| - Many small changes that make it possible to swap single battles to double battles | ||

| "single trainer double battles" | ||
