This one is big. Almost every screen got redrawn, ROM hacks got a lot of love, and we fixed a pile of bugs you reported. Thank you for every report, every save file and every screenshot, they made this release.
A new look
- New PC box: Pokémon stand on their rows, a little light follows the cursor, and the box name sits in a banner like in the games
- Every PC box shows its own game wallpaper again, with four styles to pick from (Settings > Box background)
- New Pokémon editor, new summary on the second screen with Info, Stats, Moves, Origin and Legality tabs, and a stats hexagon
- New party screen inspired by Black and White
- Pokémon Showdown sprites and box icons for every species and form, built into the app
- Menus, windows, type badges and footer buttons all redrawn
- The Poké Ball is back in sight in the summary and the editor
- The Pokédex screens scroll like a real Pokédex, with a Pokédex page on the second screen
- The Bank keeps its own style: colors from the Pokémon's type, its HOME render, and a readable Pokédex entry
- The PKForge logo on the second screen and in About, in your color scheme
Color schemes 🎨
A new color scheme for every type! Fire, Water, Ghost, Dragon... 18 themes plus the classic blue, each with its own logo. Pick yours in Settings.
New features
- Moves: when creating a Pokémon, see everything it can learn and filter moves by type
- IV ranking: sort a save's Pokémon by their IVs and jump to any of them
- IV stars on the Bank's Stats page, and a side list of pages in the Bank's Pokémon window
- Legality reports grouped by topic (encounter, moves, ball...), with the reasons and how to fix them
- Every menu option now has a short description
- Long lists scroll with momentum, and a scroll thumb shows up while you scroll by touch
- X and Y: unlock every outfit and max out Style
- Radical Red, Unbound and GS Chronicles Pokémon can go to other games, with a warning when their ball or hidden ability doesn't exist there
ROM hacks
- Radical Red, Unbound and GS Chronicles Pokémon now reach the Bank intact (friendship, ball, Pokérus, met data, hidden ability, nickname) and come back exactly as they were
- Species past Deoxys can go to the Bank too
- Pokémon going to other games keep the right species (no more Lairon turning into Groudon)
- Unbound shows the right types and "None" for no held item
- Pokémon created in Radical Red and GS Chronicles get their name
- Reordering a full party works in Radical Red, Unbound and GS Chronicles
Fixes
- No more crash opening a Pokémon on Motorola and Xiaomi phones
- No more restart when a Bluetooth controller connects (Samsung)
- The in-app updater works on Xiaomi and never fails silently
- Transfers are all or nothing: if one Pokémon can't go, nothing is lost
- Restore points only go back into the save they came from, and each save keeps its own 20
- Moving a Pokémon no longer shows it twice, and party moves swap like in the games
- A box slot could go invisible after turning the box right after a drop
- Moving the cursor onto an empty slot could crash
- Taught moves get the right PP
- Gen 1 and 2 events are legal again
- Gen 3 Pokémon back from Colosseum and XD are no longer flagged illegal, and renaming a Gen 3 Pokémon keeps it legal
- A missing HOME tracker is a warning now, not "illegal"
- Gen 1 and 2 Pokémon show their real types (no more Ghost Metapod)
- The editor no longer shows ability, item or ball for games that don't store them
- Pokédex edits now save on Let's Go, Legends: Arceus and Legends: Z-A
- "Mark everything seen" no longer un-catches your Pokémon
- Tapping a game on Home opens it again
- A tap on a list entry picks it the first time
- Music stops when PKForge leaves the screen
- AYN Thor: the lower screen comes back after sleep
Xiaomi, POCO and Redmi users
The 3.0.3 updater can't install this version on HyperOS. Download the APK below and install it once by hand. Updates will work normally after that.
Thank you ❤️
A huge thank you to spritedmistery, who designed this whole new look: the screens, the 19 color schemes, the logos and the buttons. The amount of work that went into this is insane, and PKForge wouldn't look anything like this without them. Go give them some love on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spritedmistery/
Thanks to Smogon and the artists of Pokémon Showdown's sprite projects for letting us use their sprites
