Updates

Improvements

• You can now relocate Pokémon Centers while an in-game event is active — no more waiting for the event to end

Bug Fixes

• Bleak Beach: "Wanted: Food!" — fixed a condition where the request couldn't be progressed
• Bleak Beach: "Pool repair needed!" — certain actions were preventing the request from appearing at all; fixed
• Bleak Beach: after completing "Pool repair needed!", Happiny would sometimes refuse to accompany you; fixed
• Sparkling Skylands: "Pokémon Center tour guide!" — certain actions could block Tinkmaster from accompanying the player, making the request impossible to progress; fixed
• Fixed a bug where rebuilding a Pokémon Center during an event would occasionally leave its decorations floating mid-air
• Fixed an issue preventing trades at Pokémon Centers on Cloud Islands during active events
• Fixed Professor Tangrowth disappearing, plus a range of progression bugs tied to quests involving Peakychu, Chef Dente, and Tinkmaster
• Fixed a bug where picking up a Pokopia relocation kit could leave indestructible platforms behind

Improvements

• Pokémon missing from habitats now show up again when you search for them in the Pokédex — they were just disappearing from results before
• Cloud Islands: seasonal Pokémon were vanishing after certain actions, and making a new Cloud Island could throw an error and fail entirely — both fixed

Bug Fixes

• Traveling to a Dream Island could randomly dump you in Palette Town with no way back — that's fixed
• Screen going black between towns, or when the date changed in-game, making it nearly unplayable — fixed
• Sparkling Skylands: Pokémon helping with the big building rebuild could get removed mid-request, which would soft-lock your progress — fixed

Partial Fix

• Controller rumbling non-stop — less likely now, but Nintendo hasn't fully sorted it yet

Improvements

• "Rock Smash your way to treasure!" (Withered Wasteland) — if the player places blocks over cracked blocks near Hitmonchan, the progression hint is now clearer
• "To Snorlax!" (Bleak Beach) — same fix applied for cracked blocks near Snorlax

Bug Fixes

• "Help make a home!" (Withered Wasteland) — fixed Squirtle climbing to the top of a tree and becoming non-interactable, blocking quest completion
• "Find the Pokémon Center!" (Bleak Beach) — fixed Professor Tangrowth failing to trigger the bridge repair request under certain action sequences
• Meeting Rotom in Rocky Ridges — fixed NPC-blocking bug preventing the encounter from triggering under certain conditions
• General progression fixes for "Find the Pokémon Center!" and "Clear off the path!" in Rocky Ridges
• Fixed Spinarak having the wrong type listed in the Pokédex
