here's 2.3a, a quick bug fix patch (notable bug fixes include AI overly favoring draining moves and a lot of night-time evos not working properly, including lycanroc dusk)
Changelog 2.3a:
Changes:
- New Wild Grass has been added to Viridian City and Pewter City for more early game diversity (and to ease nuzlocke/mono-type challenges)
- Updated Red, May, Brendan front trainer sprites, and Brendan's backsprites (Credits to hyo_oppa!)
- Changed Low Sweep TM to TM Thief in Diglett's Cave
- Changed TM Thief in Mt Moon to Low Sweep TM
- Can access Wild Grass on Route 3 a bit earlier
- Can't receive Misty Seed from Wild Pokemon before beating Sabrina in Hardcore Mode
- Pallet Town starter set to fateful encounter as location (so nuzlockers can also use a Pallet Town fishing encounter)
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed Night Evolutions not working properly, along with Lycanroc Dusk
- Fixed Evolutions learning banned moves in Hardcore/Restricted Mode
- Fixed being able to teach certain banned moves through move tutor in Hardcore/Restricted mode
- Fixed AI overly favoring draining moves (Mega Drain, Drain Punch, etc)

Another notable addition is new patches of grass in Viridian and Pewter City. These additional encounters should allow most monotypes to be feasible, assist nuzlockers, and just allow for more early game variety.
there's also quite a few Pokemon with early learnset changes/evo changes to make the early game more feasible for Hardcore.
I've also updated Brendan's front + back sprite, Red's Front sprite, and may's front sprite (thanks to hyo oppa!)
also note this update doesn't update the text on the start menu to indicate 2.3a, but you'll know you updated if viridian city/pewter city has wild grass
glad a lot of you are enjoying 2.3, cheers :)
