v1.5.0

Please remember to check the FAQ before asking questions.

This release fixes two potential crashes and many bugs and tile errors, adjusts some Master Trainers, and adds some additional quality of life features and general performance improvements.

New Features:
• Most map loads from warps will be significantly faster. In the best case they should be around 4x faster and at the minimum around 2x faster.
• Sprite loading/sorting optimizations were ported from RHH. This increases performance in the field.
• Return and Frustration's true power is shown on the summary screen.
• Weather Ball's type and power are updated with the weather in both the summary screen and in battle.
• Nature Power now displays the type, power, and accuracy of the move it will call in both the summary screen and in battle.
• The summary screen now prints a modified "nice place" string for eggs obtained from Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire signifying that the egg was obtained from Brigette.
• TM44 (Rest) has been added to the Celadon Dept. Store TM shop inventory and is no longer missable.
• Restored the vanilla functionality where the Pokémon Center nurse can tell if someone the player has played with before is currently in the Union Room when the Wireless Adapter is connected.

Bug Fixes:
• Fixed Wireless Adapter linking desyncing and disconnecting frequently due to an earlier WaitForVBlank() change.
• Fixed issues with the Cinnabar softlock check.
• Fixed a path tile error in Sevault Canyon.
• Fixed tile layering error in Cerulean Cave's Yellow 1F layout.
• Fix accidental restrictions on trading Chimecho before the National Dex is obtained.
• Sun and Moon Stones are now no longer removed from the Two Island shop inventory when it expands for the final time.
• Fixed Gym Leaders in the Seven Island Rematch House resetting when loading a save in the room.
• The Day Care Man now his raises hand instead of walking forward, fixing a bug where he can rarely trap the player in the Day Care fence. He still indicates that an Egg is present immediately.
• In Nuzlocke and No Free Heals Modes, swapping Pokemon with the PC Box hand should no longer sometimes faint them.
• The player can no longer challenge the Trainer Tower with the Nuzlocke or No Free Heals Modes enabled.
• Fixed the "Exit" option in Glass Workshop menu, avoiding a possible game crash.
• Improve snow weather for Four Island.
• Pokemon now gain effort values when the Exp. Modifier key is set to 0×.
• Fixed Ghost unveiling with the Silph Scope sometimes corrupting the battle background when the Move Animation option is set to off.
• In vanilla, Super Nerds in Mt. Moon use the Scientist OW sprite. They have been changed to the Super Nerd OW sprite.
• Fixed the vanilla evolution move-learning glitch.
• Fixed trying to sort a bag pocket with no or one item erroneously respawing the horizontal scroll arrows infinitely, avoiding a possible game crash.
• Fixed a typo in Blaine's after-battle rematch text.

Master Trainer adjustments:
• The Golbat Master's Golbat now knows Aerial Ace in place of the incorrect Wish.
• The Dragonite Master now has a Dragonite instead of the incorrect Dragonair.
• The Dragonite Master's Dragonite now knows Ice Punch instead of Ice Beam.
• The Scyther Master's Scyther now has Hidden Power Flying instead of Hidden Power Rock.
• Forcing a draw with Master Trainers no longer confers the title and counts as a loss.

Additionally, the Challenge Mode levels for all the Giovanni battles as well as the Elite Four and Champion rematches have been added to the FAQ.

Please do not upload the patch or especially a patched ROM to third-party sites. I am explicitly not giving my permission for FRLG+ to be on sites that host patched ROMs. They are making ad revenue money off of my work, mess up my download metrics, and are generally unsafe and frequently outdated.
