 +
**** Shiny Jynx is white. (... although this is just a suggestion from the Discord. --Kuda)
 +
*** Shiny Spiky-Eared Pichu is now white and brown, as originally intended.
 +
** Adjusted the colors of several UI assets. Rule of thumb: if it was black and red, it's now black or gray and teal.
 +

 +
** Fixed some tiles in Shardil.
 +
* Audio adjusting:

 +
*** Replaced the butchered midi of Sky Peak Forest used for routes 2 and 3 with the actual track.

 +

 +
** Edited some cutscene dialogue in Citrivale.

** Team Mortis is no longer namedropped in the Looker scene on Route 1.
 +

 +
** Kaiser now hangs out in the Citrivale Pokemon Center for a short while after completing the city's story events.
