POKÉMON ANIME VERSION v2.0.1 (TEST) (English) - Kanto + the start of the Orange Islands (Season 2) - TekCafe.vn

THIS IS A TEST BUILD
  The first test of the 2.x line: the Kanto game (v1.3.3 plus the fixes since then) and the OPENING of the Orange Islands:
  Episodes 81 - 85 (Pallet -> hot-air balloon -> Valencia Island -> Tangelo Island -> Mikan Island, Coral-Eye Badge).
  The test ends after Episode 85 "Fit to Be Tide!": heading out to sea north of Mikan Island / Valencia Island shows a
  message that the rest comes in a later update. The next island groups will open in the following updates.
  Not a final release yet. Please report any bug you find (see REPORTING BUGS at the end).

WHAT'S NEW SINCE v1.3.3
  - The Orange Islands begin (Episodes 81-85), rewritten after the anime with the same features as Kanto (episode title cards,
    speaker name boxes, anime-accurate wins and losses, achievements by episode):
      81 Pallet Party Panic (homecoming party, Viridian Forest, Pidgeotto) · 82 A Scare in the Air (lottery, hot-air balloon)
      83 Poké Ball Peril (Prof. Ivy, the GS Ball, Brock stays on Valencia) · 84 The Lost Lapras (get Lapras, Tracey joins)
      85 Fit to Be Tide! (Cissy's Mikan Gym, the Coral-Eye Badge).
  - Companions follow Ash: Ash -> Pokémon -> Misty -> Brock; in the Orange Islands Tracey takes Brock's place (Brock stays on
    Valencia). Turn it on/off in Options > "Companions".
  - VS Seeker: Prof. Oak gives it to you after the League; use it so nearby Trainers ask for a rematch.
  - Kanto legendary rule (Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew): each spot can be met only once - catching it, knocking it
    out, running away or losing all make it vanish from that spot; a species already in your Pokédex no longer appears elsewhere.
  - Your PC has the Item Storage option back.
  - Title cards renumbered after the anime: the homecoming party after the League is now Episode 81 (v1.3.3 said Episode 80).
  - Fixes: trainer double battles are real double battles again (they had become single battles); the freeze when talking to
    the scientist in Grampa Canyon; the scarf seller on Route 7 sells scarves again; Prof. Oak faces the right way in his lab;
    the P1 Grand Prix dojo (Episode 27): after the final the Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan Poké Balls appear right away.
  - Saved for later: the three legendary birds in the Orange Islands, the island groups after Episode 85.

THE WAY TO THE ORANGE ISLANDS (in the game)
  1. Finish the Indigo League. The homecoming party in Pallet right after it is the start of Episode 81.
  2. Episode 81: after the party, go into Viridian Forest through the southern entrance (from Route 2).
  3. Episode 82: from Pallet go down to the beach in the south and Surf across to the pier; the boatman on the eastern sand
     takes you to the Orange harbor -> the Poké Mart lottery (50 a spin, win a balloon ticket) -> the balloon hangar -> fly to
     Valencia Island.
  4. Once you have reached the Orange Islands you can travel by ship: the ferry waiting room at the Orange harbor <-> the
     north-east beach of Valencia Island.

SAVES
  Saves from v1.3.2 / v1.3.3 keep working (tested with a Kanto save standing in Saffron City). SAVE INDOORS or in a Pokémon
  Center before switching. A save that already finished the League continues from step 2 above.
  English, Vietnamese and Portuguese saves are interchangeable.

KNOWN ISSUES (test build)
  - Dialogue portraits only show for characters that already have a hand-drawn portrait (Prof. Ivy, Cissy... don't yet).
  - A few battle intros repeat the speaker name.
  - The thugs scene in Episode 84 can be walked around: if nothing happens when you enter the Tangelo Pokémon Center, walk
    from the Pokémon Park gate along the path north of town to the north-west beach.
  - Not yet tested on Delta / iPhone.
