Bugfix: You now obtain the HONEY JAR in the Route 34/Ilex Forest gate.
Bugfix: Starters are no longer randomized by default.
Bugfix: Various text box fixes.
Change: Moved LEVEL CAP and CANDY JAR options to the Settings PC at the beginning of the game.
Addition: FAIRY-type – when selecting a type to Nuzlocke, you can now select the FAIRY type. If selected, all current FAIRY Pokémon will have their types changed.
Addition: TYPELESS – if you select this type to Nuzlocke, ALL Pokémon’s types are removed.
Addition: LITTLELOCKE – this mode restricts your catches to just the first stage of any evolutionary line. Evolution is disabled when this option is set.

If you play with Types Restricted, the Rival will always take the Pokémon strongest against yours. For dual-weakness types like Rock or Ground, the Rival is randomly assigned one of the two counters. This does not apply to regular Nuzlocke mode.
Rental Abra now available from Goldenrod Game Corner to assist with Teleport.
Escape Rope is now a Key Item located at the top of Sprout Tower.
Level Cap now increases properly after defeating Blue.
Some maps' banks changed to improve stability.
This patch is compatible with previous versions, but please save outside in case the map you’re on has moved bank.

In-built Nuzlocke Tracker that automatically prevents captures on routes after the first valid encounter.
Hard-coded Dupes Clause and Shiny Clause.
Optional level-cap for playing on Hardcore Mode.
Optional infinite Rare Candy to speed up grinding.
Option to change the Starter Pokémon in all three Poké Balls.
Randomize Starters by talking to the mouse on Elm’s Desk.
Trade Evolutions work via Linking Cord found in Mahogany Mart after defeating Team Rocket in the Radio Tower.
NPC in 2F Pokémon Center to change time and day.
NPC in 2F Pokémon Center to check Hidden Power’s type.
All HMs have equivalent Key Items to prevent softlocks. Most are found in the same places as the original HM items. Waterfall’s item is in Tohjo Falls.
Revives and Sacred Ash are disabled.

Randomized Starters will always be of the correct type. The Gen 2 trio is guaranteed in Water/Fire/Grass only runs.
Nuzlocke Tracker blocks catches of invalid Pokémon, and only marks a route as exhausted after a valid encounter.
Pokémon that evolve into your chosen type are considered valid (e.g. Onix qualifies for the Steel type pool).
