+- Fast text and stereo sound are now the default options.
 - Pokemon learnsets have been given a large upheaval, now being easier to use. A conservative approach was employed to ensure the GSC feel was preserved. Move additions have been made based on prototype and future game material (eg. Sing Pidgeot using proto-RG), but odd ones (eg. Aeroblast Skarmory) were omitted.
 - A Trader NPC is available in a new Lake of Rage town area, allowing you to access trade evolutions natively.
