Options menu[]
The options menu can be accessed in-game from the Start menu or from the game's main menu. It allows the player to customize several aspects of the game.
Music volume / SE volume[]
Adjust the game's volume for music and sound effects respectively. These can also be muted completely by unchecking BGM and BGS in the F1 menu,
Text speed[]
The speed at which the in-game's text is displayed. Does not affect text in battles.
Download sprites[]
When activated, the game will attempt download custom sprites using the internet. If not, the game will only use the CustomBattlers and Battlers graphics folders.
Autosave[]
Makes the game save automatically every time the player heals at a Pokémon Center. It is recommended to activate it to minimize loss of progress in case the game crashes unexpectedly.
Battle type[]
Sets the preferred battle format (single, double or triple). If there are not enough Pokémon for the selected format, then the game will fall back to single/double battles.
Battle Effects[]
Enables/Disables move animations in battles
Battle Style[]
- Shift: Battles allow you to switch Pokémon before an opponent sends their other Pokémon
- Set: Cannot switch, but battles yield more Exp.
Default Movement[]
Sets whether the player will walk or run by default. The other movement option can be used by holding the Run key (remappable in the F1 menu).
Speech Frame[]
Changes the appearance of in-game textboxes. Some of the style might cause issues with the text's color so it is recommended to stick with the default.
Text Entry[]
Sets the controls for how text is input (such as the player's name), between Cursor and Keyboard.
Fusion icons[]
Changes how the party and box icons for fusions are displayed.
- Combined: The top of the head's icon and the bottom of the body's icon are used
- DNA: A generic icon is used for all fusions
Screen Size[]
Allows to set the game window's size. Larger sizes might increase lag slightly.
Quick Surf[]
Allows the player to begin surfing automatically when interacting with water.
