New in this release
This one is for mod authors. Nothing in the game itself changed, and mods
written for an older release keep working.
- A mod can see a Pokemon being caught. The battle publishes the catch on
its ownGotcha!line, with the species, the ball, where it was caught and
where it went. - A mod can add a line to a battle. One line, in the battle's own box, with
the game's own pacing. A line that would not fit is refused rather than cut
off, and the launcher says which mod asked for it. - Two mods that raise the shiny odds now stack. Each one's extra rolls are
added together instead of the larger one winning.
The mod contract is api_version 20. The first mod built on it is a Catch
Combo: catch the same species over and over and the odds of a shiny climb, the
way they do in the Let's Go games.
This release ships no game data. pokerecomp is not an emulator: it rebuilds
everything from a Game Boy Color cartridge you dump yourself, and verifies the
file before using it. Bring your own Crystal, Gold or Silver ROM.

Every download is one file. sha256sums.txt covers all of them.
First launch
- Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" box, because the build
is not signed by a paid certificate. Click More info, then Run anyway. - macOS: the app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so double-clicking it
is refused. Right-click the app, choose Open, then Open again. Only the
first launch needs this. - Linux:
chmod +x pokerecomp-0.1.5-linux-x86_64and run it. - Android: your phone will ask you to allow installing from this source.
- iOS: the
.ipais deliberately unsigned. Install it with
AltStore or SideStore, which
sign it on your own machine with your own Apple ID. A free Apple ID works;
apps signed that way need re-signing every 7 days.
Updating
The launcher's about page tells you when a newer release exists. It does not
install it: download the new file and replace the old one. Your saves are kept
separately and survive it, on every platform.
