New

  • Official place names in all five languages.
    • Every route and place of every official game now carries its official name in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian, taken from PokéWiki for each game and region.
    • Before, many Spanish, Italian and French names were simply English, and some packs had names that belonged to another place.
    • Where a place was renamed between games, each game shows its own name.
  • ROM hacks stay in English.
    • ROM hacks exist in English only, so their places, trainers and badges are now named exactly as the game names them, in every language.
    • The app says so when you pick one. Trainer pictures stay the same.
  • Game covers.
    • The game picker, the start page and the Overview now show each game's cover.
    • They are downloaded on the first start (about 1 MB) from libretro-thumbnails and, for the Switch games, Wikipedia.
    • ROM hacks without a cover show a drawn tile with the game's name. To use your own, put <game id>.png or .webp into public/covers/; yours is never overwritten. COVERS=off skips the download.
  • The "Data unverified" notes are gone.

Docker: one new volume (recommended)

Add a volume for the covers so they are not downloaded again after every update:

    volumes:
      - covers:/app/public/covers
volumes:
  covers:

Without it the app still works; the covers are simply fetched again on each new container.

Upgrading

  • Docker / Unraid: pull the new image and recreate the container (add the covers volume, see above).
  • Windows: run the new setup over the old one. Your runs stay.
  • Pinokio: Update.
  • Without Docker: git pull, npm install, npm run setup.
  • No database changes.

Unofficial, non-commercial fan project. Pokémon is © Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc. and The Pokémon Company. This release contains no Pokémon artwork; sprites, trainer pictures and covers are downloaded when you set the app up.
