    Updated with several bugfixes, please update the latest patch if you haven't already!
    v1.01 Bugfixes:
    - Fixed bug that wouldn't allow you to walk up the stairs of Uncola Mountain in the postgame
    - Fixed issue with champion's movepool
    - Added yes/no option for most superbosses, also fixed issue where superboss would not appear in the cave of origin in the postgame (this is now fixed and working!)
    - Fixed issue with Beldum not appearing in new mauville.

    Still working on encounter logs and evolution conditions, thanks for the feedback and stay cool!! :coolrim: :cool:
     
    Is there a physical/special split, or is it strictly Gen 3 rules? Because I notice there's no icon to indicate it on the moves.
     
    The game has been updated to v.1.02!!!
    Bug Fixes:
    Added yes/no options for the Red and other superboss fights (except one)
    Fixes itemfinder issue in the fiery path
    Fixed formatting errors in several Pokedex entries
     
    Got Dang, this is some good hacking right here. Getting ready to take on the elite 4, but in the mean time I made some half arsed box art for this! Googled "Cool Spot" to see the old pics of em, saw this on Wikipedia for the ole mega drive game, and thought it would make some cool box art! Cleaned it up some in photoshop, and used these awesome materials from TrainerSigil from the community. Link

    Ideas for Pokémon Super Cool Spot (1.3)

    Give deoxys a theme (Arrangement)

    Give The Regis a theme (Arrangement)

    Add a new regi mon after capturing all regi or a secret event

    Give some lore behind the battle frontier. Make new characters for them. And add a reward after beating the battle frontier. (I just watched a video of someone beating all battle frontier. Would love to see some changes on there!)

    Make the levels higher when you come back to the elite four and champion

    For the abandon ship, add something when after finding the scanner. The admin says when they take over the ship and find something. Explore that lore more. A secret event

    In the battle frontier cave, make it to where we can re fight the adminis and the boss leaders

    Make a character redesign for the trick master! Make it to where we can battle the trick master after beating all of his mazes

    Add a secret event for white rock

    Tate and Liza would need a character redesign

    Battle the professor after completing the pokedex

    Lab professor character re design (Him with sunglasses)

    Re battle Rival after final battle with him after lilycove option

    Re fight wally option (Give him a character redesign (With sunglasses)

    Give Steven sunglasses

    Battle the devs

    I appreciate the enthusiasm!!
    These are some great ideas, and I do actually intend to make some minor changes to the frontier. However, as for the music and events in the game, I think this is as far as super cool spot version will go, I guess time can only tell! But for the last patch (1.03), I intend to mostly make some changes with the frontier, maybe even make the artisan cave into something with more substance and I've been thinking about changing tate and liza somewhat. These are awesome though, and I definitely think I'll try to add coke/pepsi leader rematches and cange steven's outfit somewhere in 1.03.
