    • If there are still tracks that don't loop to this effect, they should be set to do so in later versions.
  • Trainer encounter themes now loop.
    • Although not to the effect of other tracks as noted above.

• Because we still keep getting people reporting bugs when not on 2.2.2, we've added the current version number to the load menu.
  • The version number will be updated for every future patch and core. So if at any point your game's version number does not match either the latest core or patch number on the downloads page of our website, you are not on the latest version and need to update.
    • Of course if you do not see this number at all in your game, you're definitely not on the latest version and need to update.
• (Forgot to note in the changelog for a past update, so noting it now.) Poison is super effective on Water.
• Dynamo is (technically) ready for a rematch. Just show him a Rematch Pass.
  • Currently, Rematch Tickets are only available as a very rare item obtained through your following Pokémon.
• Dark map script slightly adjusted. Now Citrivale's circle of vision properly readjusts itself at the end of battles
• Citrivale Gym Trainer events adjusted.
• Fixed Name Rater
• Several new types of Poké Balls have been added
  • Two of them can be bought from PokéMarts upon beating their city's Gym
  • Another can be crafted by Ophrys should you be willing to give him the right item
  • All of these are Supplier options
  • Related to this, a number of trainer classes have been assigned these new Poké Balls for their Pokémon
