What was the process for designing the new fields? Darkness field and crowd field seem a lot more defensively-oriented than a lot of the pre-existing fields with crowd's anti-sweep mechanics and darkness's general damage reductions for ghost and dark types and relatively small damage boost; was that just to differentiate their designs from the reborn fields, or do you think you'll want to do more defensively focused fields going forward?

Comma in Seyo's introduction should be a period, semicolon, colon, or hyphen.
Slowpoke is listed as psychic/psychic instead of poison/psychic.

Find item in the PC crashes the game.

Use of 'vindicate' doesn't make sense in context; should probably be 'villify' or similar.

Cramorant enters its gorging form and paralyzes with gulp missile after surf even when above 50% health.

Mirror armor doesn't reflect the speed drop from gooey or cotton down.

Rest fails sometimes even when the user isn't at full health; when this happens, the 'but it failed!' message is displayed twice. Both times I've seen the bug were on ashen beach, and the pokemon using rest had been statused.

19.12, Water Treatment Center, vs a meteor grunt, burned Ursaring with Guts used Facade on a Bellossom, did a little under half. Checked in the Showdown damage calculator, should be doing 77-91% if the Bellossom has a +def nature (85-100 otherwise). It looks like either facade isn't getting boosted damage (if Facade was doubled but guts wasn't applying, minimum damage would still be over half). Ursaring had been burned in a previous battle, and had been sent out, switched out, and switched back in in this one; otherwise nothing unusual going on and Facade hasn't otherwise been miscalculating. Relevant passwords are leveloffset +2, pulse2, and max ivs, but all the QOL passwords are also on.
Edit: Missed that the AI had set up reflect; there's no bug.

Continue the story; during the Celia city section, you'll be given an upgradeable house; the guild is available as one of those upgrades.

You can leave after getting to Saphira's gym and talking to her, but as far as I'm aware, there's no way to leave before finishing the first three battles.
-
Arclight's now in the nightclub instead of the grand hall. To get McKrezzy's autograph, you have to talk to him again after Felicia asks for it (which happens after you give her her Makuhita back).
-
19.01, passwords qol, pulse2, fullivs. Opponent had a dusknoir with pressure, I used roost on gliscor; I only lost one pp instead of 2. Location was glass workstation.
-
Unrealtime can be set to any number between 1 and 50 in the options menu; in-game time will pass at that multiple of real time (so if you set unrealtime to 30, every minute of real time half an in-game hour will pass).
-
19.01; mods pulse2, qol, and fullivs. Zekrom route Amaria single battle. I have a sturdy shedinja out; her swampert has already been knocked out and her lapras is out of pp, so the only way she has left that can ko shedinja is lapras's struggle. However, after sending lapras in, she immediately switches it back out instead of struggling. Log attached, relevant turn is 69.

19.01, Titania gym battle, active passwords are qol, pulse2, and fullivs. I have safety goggles shedinja. AI sets up aurora veil, then switches to excadrill and sets up sandstorm (I think it didn't recognize safety goggles, but might have been a coincidence). After excadrill faints, AI spends several turns swapping between klefki and scizor (neither of which can do anything to shedinja), instead of going to aegislash, which can get a ko.

If the AI sees that the player pokemon sees a kill, it'll prefer going for a priority move, even if that move does very little damage, which gives the player pokemon more-or-less free set up opportunities in single battles, and lets the player target around the priority user in doubles. Example for singles attached; I've had it come up in doubles as well, but don't have the log for it.

For ghost coverage, maybe sharpedo? It completes a fire-water-grass trio, and speed boost destiny bond is a generally powerful tool to have access to.
For a fairy type, I could see sticky web ribombee being pretty good - mamoswine and medicham are both on the slow end of offensive pokemon, so the speed support should make them a lot more effective. Not available yet, but IIRC you're pretty close to it.

In e19, hidden power no longer depends on your ivs; she lets you change the hidden power type by paying heart scales.

Battle was the Adrienn double battle, field was corrosive field, additional active effects were gravity, drought, and trick room; activated passwords were qol, fullivs, pulse2. Player's active pokemon were torkoal and swampert; Adrienn had a Florges active and a whimsicott and togekiss in back of team. Correct behavior here should be to send in the togekiss; instead they send in whimsicott, which immediately faints to the corrosion effect.
Debug log is attached; this occurred on round 5 of the battle.

I started the Arclight quest, did Devon corp, then attempted to finish it, but Arclight is no longer in the nightclub (or anywhere else as far as I can tell). Fresh e19 save file, activated passwords are pulse2, fullivs, and qol except piñata; was on 19.00 when it happened but updating to 19.01 didn't change anything. Not sure if this is a bug, or if the quest is meant to only be completable pre-Devon.
-
Yes; the elemental punch tutor is now at Agate Circus.
-
You might need a pokésnack, if you don't have one. Otherwise, the emolga stops flying in certain weathers and you can catch it off the ground (I think it needs to be clear, but I'm not sure).
-
Come back after your ninth gym badge; there's an item you get as part of that section of the game that you need to get to the trees.
-
If you install the SWM modular modpack, one of the features in it lets you change starter to any pokemon in the game.

When balancing battles, what assumptions do you make about how players battle? (E.g., do you assume they will or won't use items in battle, do you expect a certain amount of level grinding, etc.)
With regards to pokemon distribution, especially in the early game, do you have common challenge runs like monotypes or nuzlockes in mind at all when making decisions, or do you mostly focus on the experience of a vanilla playthrough?
