[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

I was about to go check Iron's version of the rulebook to see if that was true in that version, but I guess you done went and confirmed it.

They changed very, very little between versions as far as the listings and effects went. They added the new gen 7 moves/pokemon and updated movepools (mostly), made one or two tweaks to some rules (such as Confusion's effects and the multiple action penalties), and corrected typos (there are still a lot, though).

That's why 1.2 is still a good reference for 1.1.0 most of the time. Practically all the ability and move effects and most of the movepools for the pokemon (minus the addition of gen 7 moves) are the same.

I think it's slightly lazy, tbh, but it's that way because they don't want to rewrite the entire pokedex every time a new pokemon game comes out and dumps a garbage truck of buffs on everything. It's like the book is using gen 6 X/Y mechanics with a splattering of gen 7 stuff and almost no OR/AS in the 1.2 version as a result (some other stuff besides pokemon movepools missed out on buffs, too. For example, Weak Armor buffs speed by 2 in gen 7, but it still buffs Dex by 1 in 1.2)
