- PC storage: moving a party Pokemon out of the middle of the party left a
nil hole, so later slots showed as empty in battle and could not be filled
(#2494). Add Storage.compactParty (pret CompactPartySlots) and run it after
every PC party move, when the PC opens, and on save load so already broken
saves are repaired.
- Party menu: using a TM/HM from the bag now labels each slot ABLE!,
NOT ABLE! or LEARNED, matching DisplayPartyPokemonDataToTeachMove (#2520).
- Add regression tests for both.
- Fix held item (berries, herbs, pinch stat items) activation and permanent consumption on battler and party data during battles.
- Enforce mandatory bicycle riding on Cycling Road (Route 16-18) when dismounting Surf, entering map, loading saves, and prevent bike dismount attempts.
- Fix warp and door exit arrivals (e.g. Safari Zone gate) to execute warpExitArrival post-fade step so the player is placed on the correct forward tile and does not bypass triggers.
- Optimize field rendering pipeline by caching animated tileset pieces, pooling native metatile cell allocations, and hoisting dynamic module lookups to fast accessors.
- Save Editor (Gen 3):
- Added full support for EV, IV, Nature, Ability, and Ribbons editing for Gen 3 Pokémon.
- Implemented stat calculations, personality-based nature derivation, and Gen 3 save data structures.
- Added comprehensive unit test suite in tests/save_editor_gen3_ev_iv_tests.lua.
- GBA Extraction & Graphics:
- Added zero-copy ARM-safe ROM accessor and fast LZ77 string decompression.
- Fixed bag chrome decompression string-buffer indexing preventing solid-color renders.
- Fixed TM Case HM badge tile offset and palette mapping.
- Added builtin moves fallback in src/core/game3/battle/builtin_moves.lua.
- Improved parallel extraction resilience, desktop fallback search paths, and prefix handling.
- Android & Launchers:
- Added dynamic high-res app launcher shortcuts and color palettes for all supported games.
- Updated Android icon generator and intent dispatch handlers.
