v2.5.2-hotfix
b4aa500

Fork-local balance build on top of upstream v2.5.2. Same app, halved economy.

Changed

Every token-denominated economy constant is halved — progression and the shop are twice as fast and cheap, while token income (your real AI usage) is unchanged.

Upstream v2.5.2 This build
Egg hatch threshold 5M 2.5M
Graduation total (common / uncommon / rare / legendary) 750M / 1.875B / 3B / 6B 375M / 937.5M / 1.5B / 3B
Rare candy XP 100M 50M
Rare candy price 500M 250M
Mint price 100M 50M
Shiny charm price 3B 1.5B
Fresh egg price 1B 500M

Per-stage evolution thresholds and guaranteed-tier egg prices derive from the table above, so they halve with it — tiered eggs become 500M / 1.25B / 2B.

Scaling uniformly keeps every documented balance ratio intact: candy XP stays below the cheapest evolution threshold (50M < 62.5M) so one candy still advances at most one stage, phase thresholds still sum exactly to the graduation total, and guaranteed-tier eggs keep the 1 : 2.5 : 4 ratio that stops the top tier from becoming an inferior good.

Shiny odds (1/64, or 1/48 with the charm) and the weekly candy grant (5) are unchanged — they are neither prices nor XP.

Existing save files carry over. Progress already banked in usedAtStage / eggUsage now counts double against the halved thresholds, so the first launch may evolve or hatch immediately.

Install

curl -L -o /tmp/PokeTokenBar.zip \
  https://github.com/devsisters/PokeTokenBar/releases/download/v2.5.2-hotfix/PokeTokenBar.zip
unzip -o /tmp/PokeTokenBar.zip -d /tmp
pkill -x PokeTokenBar; rm -rf /Applications/PokeTokenBar.app
cp -R /tmp/PokeTokenBar.app /Applications/
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/PokeTokenBar.app
open /Applications/PokeTokenBar.app

The xattr line is required: this build is ad-hoc signed, so Gatekeeper blocks it without it.

Caveats

  • Ad-hoc signed. No stable codesigning identity was available on the build machine. macOS quarantines the download, and the Keychain "Always Allow" grant for Claude official limits will re-prompt.
  • Not covered by brew upgrade. Installing over a Homebrew cask install leaves Homebrew believing 2.5.2 is present; a later brew upgrade --cask poke-token-bar will silently replace this build with upstream.
  • The test suite did not run for this build — the build machine has only Command Line Tools, so import XCTest does not compile. Sources build clean and the balance tests were updated alongside the constants, but they are unverified.
  • README screenshots still show upstream prices.
