Here's what's new in PKMDS this week!

RTC Editor for Gen 3 saves: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald save files now have a Real-Time Clock editor, letting you view and adjust in-game time directly.
Drag-and-drop to open saves: You can now drag and drop save files onto the welcome screen or the load dialog to open them instantly — no need to click through a file picker.
New app layout: The side drawer has been replaced with a cleaner left app bar menu, and a welcoming empty state now greets you when no save is loaded.
New PKMDS branding: A fresh logo, adaptive favicon, and a complete icon set give the app a more polished look.
Theme palette switcher (preview): Try out different color palettes from the app bar — theme switching now uses a consistent segmented-control UI.

Import warnings: A snackbar warning now appears when imported Pokémon are illegal, so you know right away if something didn't legalize correctly.
Smarter legalization: The legalization engine now has a "HaX retry" path for Showdown imports that fail at first, and better fallback handling — including seeding language, OT, and trash bytes. It also no longer imports blank Pokémon when legalization fails entirely.
Dialogs stay open by default: Clicking the backdrop no longer dismisses dialogs accidentally.
More reliable unsaved-changes detection: Fixed spurious "unsaved changes" warnings that appeared on empty slots or after deleting a Pokémon.
Gen 4 badge fix: Badge toggling now works correctly for Generation 4 saves (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver).
PKHeX.Core updated to 26.5.5: The underlying Pokémon library has been updated, bringing fixes for Scarlet/Violet and Generation 7 Pokédex data.

Fixed the iOS status bar overlapping the app bar in PWA mode.
Viewport heights are now calculated correctly accounting for iOS safe-area insets.
