Version 1.6.0 (August 23, 2024)
Important warning:

Changes:
- Faster Pokemon Storage navigation. Very minor graphical bugs are expected when scrolling that fast, nothing wild.
- New Key Item that allows you to obtain extra EVs of the selected stat.
- Added an indicator to the summary screen that tells where the pokémon comes from. For old saves, some pokemon from recharged emerald might be labeled as emerald before the internal system was implemented.
- Reverted the party menu looks, it had some graphical bugs and problems that were not possible for me to fix. The navigation was a bit odd too. This now indicates that you can swap pokémon with select
