so many options

Pokemon have so many forms and evolve options. Supporting them in Pokelog feels like a Rube Goldberg contraption. The code tends to be fragile because fixing one bug can easily contribute to another down the line. Build 035 fixes two bugs relating to evolving.

And now for a bit of news. In the special research “A Ripple in Time,” stage 2, the task of evolve an evolved grass type pokemon was commonly reported to not accept any pokemon from Sinnoh. The special research was released before Sinnoh, hence the game coding was unaware of Sinnoh pokemon. After Sinnoh pokemon were available, trainers discovered the restriction, and a player claimed that Niantic confirmed it. However, I just discovered that Grotle can now satisfy the requirement, and in fact, Polygon reported correctly though months later than all other reports. For those wondering about Roselia, it does not. Maybe the task description could be updated to mention three stage species within the same region.
