a deep breath, and lean back (Patreon)

so we did bigger updates until episode 7 or so, spotty ones a bit after that, checking over dialogue up until 14, and then...
and then man i'm so tired. i'm tired of reading old dialogue LOL, i had to be done. which is probably fine because it's very much diminishing returns

as of fifteen minutes ago or whatever, i'm done updating the earlier and existing content. like obviously stuff might still come up, but i no longer have a List to get through

lists really are the enemy, i think. 

so anyway once again here's some recent changes. a lot of these don't actually have anything to do with updating the episode content, but are instead other QoL fixes and implementations perry and cass have been working on making happen for y'all.
so much appreciateo to them <3

im not gonna bother separating this out this time or anything y'all probably know the risks

• exp share now creates additional exp  (a la exp all) for a specific mon instead of splitting it in half
• added in dragon ascent/relic song/secret song as relearner moves instead of separate tutors
• added catch exp
• added victory music on catching wild pokemon
• added a check for held items when sending pokemon back to the pc after a catch
• rearranged some encounters to ensure 100% EV grinding spots for each stat exist
• added npcs that tell you each EV spot's location

pause.
the hints are in game, but let me save you some trouble and just tell you the suggested EV locations now. you'll note that they're all available in the early-midgame.

• hp old rod in dirty water -- or chrysolia springs surf post-restoration
• atk slums playground
• def pyrous columns
• spe underground railnet peridot side
• spa pyrous b2f
