Story

For the past two years, Johto has been witnessing a strange phenomenon—Pokémon species have been mysteriously vanishing, only to be replaced by regional variants. This unexpected change has left people confused and concerned. How is this transformation affecting the balance between humans and Pokémon? And what greater consequences might it have for Johto’s future?

Misc Changes

• You can now click R on the Pokémon summary screen to view IVs, if clicked again EVs are displayed, once more and normal stats are displayed again
• After using a rare candy you are no longer kicked back to the bag
