) - To make your climb a bit easier we made the following changes to some items:

- Heart Scales can now be used on a Pokémon to learn a move from its level-up moveset
(movesets have been drastically altered to fit this change) - Technical Machines (TMs) have been replaced by Technique Scrolls (TSs), this is just a flavor thing, they still work like regular gen 5+ TMs.
-
- In rare instances you can open the pause menu when you're not supposed to, nothing game breaking but not intended
- When respawning, the player stands up for 1 single frame (it makes me chuckle every time so I left it in)
