3DS

Version 1.0.x

Version 1.1.x

Version 1.2.x

The top screen as shown in Version 1.2.1

Version 1.2.0 was available from the Nintendo eShop on May 26, 2015. This update provides a significant number of new features and bug fixes.

  • Hearts are separated into regenerating Hearts and bonus Hearts (obtained either from StreetPass or exchanging Jewels). Regenerating Hearts are capped at 5, and will always be used instead of the bonus Hearts if there are any. Bonus hearts are capped at 99. Any Hearts players had before the update are now treated as bonus Hearts, and the player's regenerating Hearts start off at 5 after installing the update.
  • A candy icon now appears in the top right corner of Mega Effect descriptions, with "0/x" next to it. The value of x depends on the species of the Pokémon; it differs even between Pokémon with the same Mega Effect and seems to be tied with how long each Pokémon takes to Mega Evolve. Version 1.2.2 reveals this indicates the maximum number of Mega Speedup enhancements that may be used on that Pokémon.
  • Levels and experience points are now displayed on the Optimize screen.
  • After successfully completing a stage, if players fail to catch a Pokémon with their first Poké Ball (before using a Great Ball), they have a chance of being offered a "Super Catch Power". This Super Catch Power provides a somewhat random boost on top of the Great Ball's boost (players still uses a Great Ball, and can use the same number of Great Balls as they could without the "Super Catch Power").
  • After successfully catching a Pokémon, its Attack power and Skill are now displayed on the top screen, in the same way as when selecting Pokémon for a stage.
  • The Skill "Block Bash" has been renamed "Block Smash", and the "Bonbon Boulevard" area has been renamed "Sweet Strasse".
  • If players leave a stage select screen and later returns to it, it will reappear exactly as players left it. Previously, the screen would be focused on the last available stage in that category.
  • New mechanics added to detect cheating and remove such entries from Competitive Stages. Such removed entries are given the lowest possible rank. Any cheating player must legitimately beat the score used from cheating to rank in the competition again; this means if players submit a score of 50,000 and is removed, players cannot submit a new score unless they can score 50,001.
  • Prevents going to the Home menu by pressing the Home button during timed stages while the timer is running. Previously, this exploit could be used to view the board without a timer in both Expert Stages and Competitive Stages.
  • Fixes a bug which caused some non-Mega Evolved icons of the lead Pokémon to appear after Mega Evolution on Stage 176: Timburr.
  • Fixes a bug which prevented Mewtwo from Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo Y, and from being selected as the lead Pokémon when using the Optimize button.

Version 1.3.x

Version 1.3.0 was available from the Nintendo eShop on March 23, 2016. This update provides several new features and fixes:

Aesthetic & UI Changes

  • The title screen has changed to a green color scheme, as opposed to the previous pink one.
  • New fonts and borders have been added throughout the game
  • The player's "trainer card" now displays their furthest record in Survival Mode.
  • A counter has been added to the upper-right of the top screen for both main and expert stages, showing how many Pokémon the player has caught out of the stages they have unlocked.
  • An area select tab has been added to the top of the touch screen. This tab lists each area, as well as how many Pokemon have been caught and how many S-ranks have been obtained for each area. Tapping an area in this list allows for quick travel to the first stage of that area.
  • The Special Stage area now has scroll buttons identical to those in the main and expert stages. The previous absence of these buttons limited only 5 events to occur at a given time, so this change has removed that limit.
  • A "Recommended Level" indicator has been added to the pop-up window of some Stages when they are selected from the world map.
  • "Amelia's Recommendation" has been added to some stages. This rates the stage's Pokemon on a scale of 0-3 Amelia tokens based on some unknown criteria.
  • The next Expert Stage beyond what the player has unlocked appears as a silhouette, with a note showing how many S Ranks the player has and how many are necessary to unlock the stage.
  • In Competitive Stage rankings, in addition to the Top 5, the cut-off scores for each prize tier are now displayed. An arrow indicates which prize tier the player's current score qualifies for. The Top 5 and tier rankings are displayed on the touch screen rather than the top screen, while the top screen now displays the player's high score, ranking, and what team was used to get that score.
  • Pokemon Safari is now displayed as an orange question mark, as in the mobile version, rather than a black question mark.
  • Pokémon Safari now shows what Pokemon are available as silhouettes, and indicates which ones the player has caught by coloring in the silhouettes. When the player has caught all available Pokemon in a safari, they receive a congratulatory message.
  • After selecting a stage on the world map, the player's team appears on the touch screen. Touching and holding on a Pokémon on the player's team shows its details from the Pokemon List on the top screen.
  • When experience is gained after completing a stage, a number is now displayed to show how much exp was gained by each Pokemon.
  • The "Level Up" icon now only flashes once after a level up, rather than flashing repeatedly until the player exited the results screen.
  • When a Pokemon is selected in the Pokémon List, there is now an indicator saying how much exp is needed for the next level.
  • When scrolling through the Pokemon List, arrows indicating type effectiveness are now visible without having to first select the Pokemon.
  • If a mega stone has been obtained but the corresponding Pokemon has not been caught, then the Pokemon's icon appears as a silhouette when searching for Pokemon that can Mega Evolve. The mega stone is displayed in the small circle next to the silhouette.
  • Charizard and Mewtwo will no longer appear when searching for Dragon or Fighting type Pokemon respectively. This error was likely caused due to Mega Charizard X and Mega Mewtwo Y changing to those types upon mega evolution.
  • When searching through the Pokemon List, the search criteris is set to "Caught Pokemon" by default rather than "All Pokemon"
  • When searching through support Pokemon after selecting a stage, the player can now search for Pokémon that are super effective against the current selected stage. Additionally, a shortcut button has been added to the top right of the search results screen, to allow for quick switching to this criteria's results.
  • A blue exclamation mark appears next to stages that have not been played yet.
  • When Mega Diancie removes Pokémon, it makes a unique sound different from that of any other Mega Pokemon.
  • The design for the arrows that indicate Super Effective and Not Very Effective has been changed from three small arrows to a single large arrow.
  • When the game is closed the player's last position is saved, and players are returned to that position upon reopening the game. For example, if players were to close the game while at the Meowth stage, then they would start there upon reopening the game. If the last stage played was a special stage, then the game starts at main stage 1 instead. Prior to this update, players would always start at the furthest Main Stage that they had unlocked.

Functional Updates

  • New mode added: Survival Mode. This mode is unlocked upon clearing stage 150.
  • New mode added: Mission Cards. Cards #1-3 have been added.
  • New Enhancement Items added: Exp. Booster, Raise Max Level, Level Up
  • Multiple Pokémon now able to go beyond Level 10 (up to level 15) due to the Raise Max Level item
  • Ditto no longer works as a "wild card" when matching Pokemon icons. This was done in response to players hacking in the Pokemon to get high scores in competitions.
  • Some main stages allow the player to skip them based on some unknown criteria.
  • New Pokémon added to the database, such as Zygarde forms, Hoopa and Volcanion.
  • New enhancement items added: Raise Max Level, Level Up, Exp. Booster S, Exp. Booster M, Exp. Booster L, Skill Booster S, Skill Booster M and Skill Booster L.
  • The skill Flap now works on all types instead of only Ground.
  • SpotPass Functionality added to allow for news on updates to be sent automatically to the 3DS
  • If the player has purchased between 5 and 9 Jewels in a month, regenerated hearts can go up to 6 and 600 coins are obtained with each check in. If the player has purchased over 10 Jewels in a month, regenerated hearts can go up to 7 and 700 coins are obtained with each check in. This lasts until the end of the month the Jewels were purchased in.
  • Meowth and Victini's stage can be replayed in the same day, at the cost of 1 Jewel.
  • Adds Raise Max Level functionality to Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise, Eevee, Espeon, Umbreon, Sylveon, Altaria, Azumarill, Sableye, Lapras, Mew, Kyogre, Groudon, Druddigon, Quilladin, Braixen, and Frogadier.
  • Fixes a glitch that caused matches shaped like an "L" or upside-down "T" to activate abilities twice.

Reason: verify whether event restrictions are placed on players who have not cleared the first 150 main stages

Version 1.4.0 became available on the Nintendo eShop on March 8, 2017. This update adds several aesthetic and functional changes, many of which were introduced in Mobile version 1.9.0.

Aesthetic & UI Changes

  • 3DS home menu launch screen has changed to include the Alola starters rather than the Kanto starters.
  • Title screen has changed to a yellow border rather than a green one, and features the Alola starters rather than the Kanto starters.
  • Several Pokemon have had the color and/or size of their icons altered. Affected Pokemon include Charizard, Gengar, Mewtwo, Wobbuffet, Tyranitar, Ho-oh, Gardevoir, Castform, Metagross, Deoxys, Hippopotas, Hippowdon, Vivillon, Hawlucha, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Diancie.
  • The previously-unlabeled area that includes stages 500-550 has been named Nacht Carnival.
  • If a stage can drop items such as personalized skill boosters, then the stage's world map icon will display a present box. If such a stage's Pokemon has had its skill level increased to maximum and no other drops are available, then the present box will disappear.
  • When starting a stage after selecting items to use, there is no longer a confirmation box before the stage begins.
  • When sorting Pokemon in the Pokemon List, selecting to sort by Attack Power or Level will automatically sort in descending order rather than the default ascending. Sorting by name or Pokedex number is unchanged, and still defaults to ascending order.
  • Tapping a notice or mission card that mentions a particular stage now gives the option to go to that stage.
  • After a Pokemon has been captured, Amelia tokens will no longer appear on its world map icon. However, the icons are still visible on the window that appears when the stage is selected.
  • When using an enhancement item such as a Mega Speedup on a Pokemon, an option appears to use the same item multiple times in a row. Previously, the item had to be dragged onto the Pokemon once for each usage.
  • Difficulty rating for stages is now on a scale of 1-5 rather than 1-10.
  • Competitive stages now have a golden laurel background on their world map icon, as opposed to a grassy patch.
  • Escalation Battles now display a Pokeball on their world map icon if the Pokemon has been caught. However, the window that appears when selecting the stage still does not display a Pokeball.
  • If a Pokemon gains experience after completing a stage, a sound will play during the experience-gain animation after the stage ends. This sound is the same as the one played when skill boosters are used.
  • When an EX stage is unlocked, the notification window that appears now shows the name and icon of the Pokemon in that stage.

Functional Changes

  • The abilities Mind Zap and Prank can no longer activate if the enemy Pokemon is afflicted by Disruption Delay or has a status effect such as Burn or Sleep.
  • If a Streetpassed player has not updated to 1.4.0, then they will not be added to the Streetpass List and the pass will not count towards heart or gem rewards. However, the 3DS home menu icon will still display a green dot, and the records tab visible on the world map will still display a blue dot if such a pass is received.
  • Players are gifted with 30 banked hearts and 10,000 coins upon login after updating to 1.4.0.

Mobile

Version 1.0.x

Version 1.1.x

Version 1.2.x

Version 1.2.0 became available on November 3, 2015. This update makes several graphical and functional changes to the user interface.

  • A counter has been added to the upper-left corner of the screen while viewing Main or Expert Stages. This counter shows how many Pokémon players have caught out of the amount currently available. For example, at the time of the 1.2.0 update the counter shows x/168 while viewing Main Stages, and x/20 while viewing Expert Stages.
  • The Poké Ball and ranking icons that can appear next to a stage have been changed. Rather than appearing as a small icon above the ranking, the Poké Ball has been enlarged and now acts as a backdrop for the ranking.
  • A red exclamation point appears next to stages that have not been played yet.
  • The option to search for Super Effective Pokémon has been added to the search menu's "Type" drop-down menu.
  • In the search menu, each skill in the "Skill" drop-down menu now displays a short description of what it does.
  • The design for the arrows that indicate Super Effective and Not Very Effective has been changed from three small arrows to a single large arrow.
  • After selecting a stage but before selecting "continue", pressing and holding the icon of a Pokémon from the current team will show its full Pokémon List description. This also works in the pause menu during a stage.

Version 1.3.x

Version 1.3.0 became available on December 9, 2015. This update makes a few graphical changes to the user interface, and features the return of Amelia.

  • Amelia returns to introduce a new recommended-Pokémon system. Each Pokémon is ranked from zero to three token-like icons (which resemble Amelia's face), based on some unknown criteria related to usefulness. The more icons a Pokémon has, the more the game recommends that players catch and use it. These icons are visible while browsing stages, as well as when players look at Pokémon in the Pokémon List.
  • All Main Stage Mega Pokémon stages, all Expert Stages, and several difficult Main Stages now display a "recommended level" when selected. It is suggested that the player's Pokémon be around this level before attempting the corresponding stage. This does not appear on event stages.
  • When the game is closed the player's last position is saved, and players are returned to that position upon reopening the game. For example, if players were to close the game while at the Meowth stage, then they would start there upon reopening the game. Prior to this update, players would always start at the furthest Main Stage that they had unlocked.
  • The rank symbol appearing after clearing a level flashes continuously.
