• ▸ Move Relearner in Fuchsia: Relearn forgotten moves with the Move Relearner in Fuchsia City.
• ▸ Move Deleter in Vermilion: The Move Deleter is now available in Vermilion City, making it possible to remove unwanted HMs.
• ▸ Updated Overworld Pokémon Icons: No more generic icons—all overworld Pokémon now have accurate sprites.
• ▸ Updated Party Mini Sprites: Party sprites have been refreshed for a more modern look.
• ▸ Caught Pokémon Icon in Battle HUD: See if you’ve already caught a Pokémon directly in the battle HUD.

• ▸ Surfing Pikachu and Raichu: Just like in Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu and Raichu can learn Surf via HM.
• ▸ Engine Bugfixes: Various gameplay bug fixes, including: Attack after waking up from Sleep works correctly. Sleep mechanics now function like in Gen 2, with a maximum of 6 turns. Removed the 25% failure chance for enemy stat-lowering moves. Swift no longer hits through Fly or Dig. Ghost-type moves are now super effective against Psychic-type Pokémon.
