0.70.0

PKMN v0.70.0 Beta

Battles:

• Trainers now switch Pokemon as on the cartridge: out of a Perish Song, into one that absorbs your attack, or away from a hopeless matchup.
• Trainer AI now understands moves from later generations (priority hits, hazards, setup and healing) the way it understands the originals.
• A few trainers now open with a setup move or gamble on risky ones, as their cartridge AI flags say.
• Trainers in double battles now pick their targets like the cartridge's AI instead of at random.

engine sha 8bb49d49ac / asset pack 94d2e8cd9f246b4e / Godot 4.7.2 stable platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS (universal)

Client and server must share both the engine sha and the asset pack: the login handshake rejects a mismatch on either.

macOS - the first launch needs one extra step. The app is ad-hoc signed but not notarized, so macOS refuses a plain double-click with "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". Right-click (or Control-click) the app and choose Open, then Open again. Once per download; updates the client installs itself do not re-trigger it. From a terminal the equivalent is:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "PKMN Engine.app"

Keep PKMN Engine.app and the pack folder together in the same folder - the app looks for its assets beside itself, not inside the bundle.
