Prototype Info

Modelling Oddities Don't take everything here at face value...

Inaccessible Pokémon "Reserved for NPCs and special events only? How disappointing..." (a player, probably)

Semi-Inaccessible Sync Pairs They are like limited-time collector's items: if you actually own them, you're one of the lucky players.

Event Items Some rare souvenirs we have here now, don't we?

Music From the undistributed to the outright removed, there's lots of tunes here.

Audio Voice Acting in a Pokémon game!... and an entire 30% of it is unused.

Pasio Special Stadiums Did you take on the Neo Champions?

Update History See how this game has evolved over the years!

Changed Graphics

Gaphics from released versions of the game that were later changed in later updates for one reason or another.

Trainers

Cyrus

Originally Cyrus' model had a design inaccuracy where part of his outfit was missing, showing more neck. Approximately 2 months later his model was updated and the renders were updated alongside it.

1.12.0 - 2.0.0	2.1.0 - Current

Crasher Wake

Prior to version 2.9.0 Crasher Wake used a different render in menus. This was later changed to one where his hands are on his hips, preventing him from covering other character's faces on the results screen.

1.0.0 - 2.8.0	2.9.0 - Current

Siebold (Holiday 2019)

A whole 2.5 years after his release Holiday Siebold's model was slightly updated with his hands being adjusted. Only his Vs render was changed however. This update coincided with his 6★ EX being released that same month.

1.2.0 - 2.17.0	2.18.0 - Current

Trainer Lodge Images

Adaman

Initially Adaman's model had a small error where his right eyebrow was not modeled correctly. This was later fixed and all his renders and lodge artwork were corrected, though this isn't really noticeable on his standard menu renders.

2.33.0 - 2.34.0	2.35.0 - Current

Wally

The Lodge Photo Backgrounds were originally too small to fit the full intended image frame. The next update after Lodge Wally's release the backgrounds were made bigger.

2.41.0	2.42.0

Sygna Suit Gladion

Seems like 2.41.0 was a bad time to have a Lodge image. Upon release SS Gladion's Lodge Background was scuffed, showcasing a small segment of next months Lodge member Skyla's Background and having the same issue as Wally with size. This was corrected in the following 2.42.0 update.

2.41.0	2.42.0

Pokémon

Eevee

In version 2.38.0 Eevee's model was changed to it's model from Pokémon HOME. This coincides with the release of Elaine & Eevee and affected the existing Leaf & Eevee. This change is because the female model and shiny models were needed. The most noticeable changes are that textures are higher quality and the shadows are different.

Before 2.38.0	2.38.0 - Current

Legendary Prize Box Coins

Unused animations

Battle_Shot

A pose that every Trainer character model has, It's their Vs graphic but with the actual 3D model. Some of the earliest characters in the game have proper posing beyond the renders. Some characters beyond 1.0.0 do as well, but not many as most have clipping bodyparts everywhere. This can imply they were worked at an earlier point in development.

• Lear's is mislabelled as Shot_Battle.

ch0105_00_rival2_230_chap000_falldown_1 & ev0000_00_hooparing_230_chap000_falldown_1

ch0105_00_rival2_230_chap000_falldown_1	ev0000_00_hooparing_230_chap000_falldown_1	Combined result

One unused animation for Tina which has her falling through the floor into the abyss, due them having the same name, it appears it's meant to play along an animation for the Hoopa ring expanding beneath her feet. Surely planned for a future event cutscene involving Hoopa.

Ch_0264_01_Voicechangesatoshi Return and Ball Throw

NPC	Final

Before Ash was made scoutable his NPC version (Ch_0264_01_Voicechangesatoshi) had unused animations for having a Pokémon return to it's Poké Ball and throwing out a Poké Ball in Co-op. When he was later made playable 2 months later he had his animations changed to no longer use the Poké Ball as he forms his Sync Pair with his Poké Ball-hating Pikachu.

Unused Textures

Scottie

A set of 9 unused character customization textures relating to Scottie (the Male Player character) from 1.0.0. These textures only work on the player character models from before 2.28.0 (the update which added Player character customization). None of the textures are currently used for clothing sets. They seem to be a bit mismatched.

Color 1	Color 2	Color 3

Model (front)	Model (back)	Model (bag)

Bettie

Bettie (the Female Player character) also has her own wardrobe of 9 unused character customization textures. The yellow and red colourings mirror Scottie but the blue (or aqua?) is much brighter. Her textures are more mismatched compared to what Scottie has.

Color 1	Color 2	Color 3

Model (front)	Model (back)	Model (bag)

Hidden Ash Medals Functionality

If you did not participate in the Blazing Battle with Ash Special Event the medals from it are hidden in the Event medals menu. This functionality also works if only own some of the medals, showing the Event name but only showing the medals you did obtain while the event was on-going.

Internal Project Name

The game's internal project name is "Kenya", evidenced by filepaths inside the .apk "assets\config\kenya.android.config", "assets\resources\assets\Config\KenyaBuildConfig.json" and "assets\ui\Common\font\Kenya_South Side".
