A proposal for streamlining the Pokémon Shuffle/Version history subpage.

3DS

Version 1.0.x

intervening version go here, etc. etc.

Version 1.4.x

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

intervening versions go here, etc. etc.

Version 1.10.x

Version 1.10.0 became available on April 5, 2017.

Changes:

  • Title screen has changed to a yellow border rather than a green one and shows Alolan Pokémon.
  • For every stage, the last team used to clear it will be saved. This saved team will appear when selecting the stage, giving the player the option of re-using a commonly-used team without having to manually rearrange the current team.

Both versions
