The official Early Access page does not list Mega Evolution among features. This site does not invent a yes/no beyond that absence.

The developer has not published a save-file location. The official bug-report section mentions Saved/Logs/ only for crash logs; that is not evidence of where save data is stored. Do not rely on an assumed AppData, Steam, or install-folder path.

Not officially confirmed. Players asked, but no developer answer was visible on the checked public pages as of 2026-08-17. Ask in the official Discord before updating if retaining a save is important.

Official issues include slow async loading and battle hitching on low RAM/storage. Save often. Report bugs on the official Discord with what you were doing and Saved/Logs/.

Some commenters report Windows Security blocking or deleting the file. Those reports do not prove either malware or a false positive. Verify the itch.io source, scan the file, do not bypass protection based only on a comment, and report the warning to the developer.

No official date. The roadmap only says the next chunk past Mauville will come “when I’m ready,” plus more Pokémon, a national dex, and localization.

Use the developer-linked itch.io page. A third-party updater URL was posted in the comments, but it is not linked by the developer and this site has not performed malware analysis. See download safety.
