Breaking Changes

ROM Base Changed

Base ROM changed from 3541 to 4997 (4998 on some sites). This should match dumps from genuine American Platinum cartridges (unless bought near initial release).

Breaking Bug Fixes

Important for Save File Transfers

  • Trigger script indexes changed to prevent potential bugs

IMPORTANT - Trigger Fixes

If carrying a save file from an older version:

  1. Immediately go to Pokémon Center in Eterna, Hearthome, Veilstone, or Jubilife
  2. Talk to NPC in center of room to synchronize trigger scripts
  3. Failure to do so may cause roadblocks to reappear or events to repeat

GS Ball Item Change

GS Balls in inventory from previous saves will now be Shoal Shells. This doesn't affect Celebi event, but you must complete the trigger synchronization step above.
