Uploading some of the 1.3 stuff to begin with, mainly the changes that are fully finished so far.
- After earning all 8 badges, the trainers in Celadon University get a decent level increase, allowing for a much better grinding spot between Victory Road and the Pokemon League.
- A handful of changes to move animations, credit to wrulfy for implementing some of these in their Carmine Red hack:
- Struggle has the user bouncing up and down similarly to Splash, rather than shaking back and forth.
- Slam has the user move forward while attacking.
- Mega Kick has the user move back, then lunging forward while attacking.
- Jump Kick has the user move forward while attacking, as well as a sound effect change.
- Horn Drill uses a unique animation of a rotating star effect, as well as darkening the screen.
- Both confusion-inflicting status moves show birds circling the enemy.
- Hyper Beam is slightly slower, and shakes the screen after the hit.
- Drill Peck uses the same circling star animation as Horn Drill.
- Solar Beam has a 'gathering energy' effect while lighting up the screen.
- SmokeScreen is a lot faster.
- Skull Bash shakes the screen and moves the user horizontally while attacking.
- Hi Jump Kick made slightly faster.
- Dazzling Gleam lights up the screen and has been made slightly longer.
- Acid Armor has been given a proper animatio, and no longer makes the user invisible.
- It's now possible to Escape Rope out of the SS Anne and Silph Gauntlet 3F.
- Changes made to a handful of Victory Road and Silph Gauntlet trainer parties.
- Slight level buffs to the Elite 4 initial matches, and significant buffs to their rematches.
- Silph Gauntlet Gym rematches have been increased by a few levels, and Chief has been similarly buffed.
- Slight encounter tweaks to Route 23
- Level buffs to Victory Road's wild encounters
- Minor text fixes

FIGHTING type
55 Power
15 PP
80 Accuracy
Effect: Flinch (30% chance)
Learned by Hitmonchan, Machop, and Mankey at L1. Primeape, Machoke, and Machamp have it in their L1 learnsets as well.
Learned by Carapthor at L10 as an evolution move. Also part of its L1 learnset.
Dark Void and friends aren't in and probably won't be, I dunno yet.
I think Kowtow Cleave is really badass so I gave it to Night Slash too.
Scream Tail and Barunda now have Disarming Voice, which also has its own sound, which is basically Sing but a bit different.
Fake Tears was given its own subanimation to account for the fact it's basically a Water Gun used on yourself.
The FIGHT debug function helps a lot with this whole thing, so test with that.
