Oh wow, this seems amazing.

He's still apparently working on it, but you can use the online patcher link in the original post to get the latest beta of the 2.0 version of ROWE.

Sorry if I forgot about to post here directly but the update 2.0 has been released some time ago, you probably saw it directly on the news on this site so I hope you guys play it and give me feedback on your experiences while playing the game

I've been playing it. So far, my only real complaint is that you can't see a move's PP on the battle screen.

I did pick up ROWE Home last night. I haven't played around with it, but I was curious if it only works with ROWE or does it also work with other third party utilities or official cartridges?

I share most of stuff in the pokecommunity or some reddit post, there is no need to join the discord to get news, I just post news there first

I'm asking because I saw several different versions of the 2.0 patch the past week, on the patcher website. all with a different file name referring to some kind of fix. and zero information about any of those hotfixes either on here or on pokécommunity. I assume all those hotfixes get announced on discord, so if you're not in there and don't want to have to join a discord for every little thing then you never know when there's a new patch

even now 2.0.1 says "zigzagoon fix". what is that? who knows. no documentation

Hey new to the scene, was wondering what was up with the fork of mGBA in the patcher tool. Is it still worth using, and do I overwrite the mGBA folder I already have?

Hello everyone, today I would like to release an update focused on adding some trainer skills, more signature moves, changing how level caps work, some changes to the rock smash feature and of course polishing and fixing bugs for the game, please enjoy

Spoiler: Changelog 2.0.4

-Reworked Trainer skills levels, skill points per level and exp you get so everything should cost a lot less but you get less skill points per level
-3 New Trainer Skills
Rock Smash Boost: Boost the chances of getting an item by smashing rocks
Max PP Boost: Boosts the max PP each move of your mons can have, it applies to every Pokemon in your party or boxes old or new
EV Cap Boost: Boost the modification Cap for manual EV spreads in the Pokémon Summary Screen letting you use the EVs slider no matter your mode or difficulty but the max EVs you can modify is tied to this skill, Grindless mode will also implement this but trainers will use limited EVs like in the other modes making Easy and Normal modes in grindless different
-Added more items to the rock smash item pool, now it includes items like evolution stones, type gems and made shards easier to get
-Added an option to change your level cap style, like choosing between the 3 level cap systems we had before but you can't chose a level cap style that is easier than your current difficulty(Example: Easy can choose between the 3 styles, Normal can only chose the Strict level cap or the Stat level cap while people in Hard mode can only use Strict caps), make sure to change your cap system in the settings since past saves will have Strict level cap as default.
-Made it so you can't go over the Gym leader that you have to beat after you beat the next gym leader level no matter your level cap system to avoid people overleveling in easy mode by just exploring
-Added more items to the Eight Island shop like Terrain Extender, Metronome, Zoom Lens, etc
