Here's what's new and improved in PKMDS this week — a packed release with a lot of quality-of-life improvements and some exciting new capabilities!

Embedded App Support

• PKMDS can now run embedded inside other apps, including a native iOS/iPadOS host — opening the door for third-party tool integrations.

Pokémon Bank

• Import .pk* and .zip files directly into the Bank.
• Export individual Pokémon (or a multi-selection) as .pk* files, either one at a time or bundled into a ZIP.

Legality Checker

• Per-field legality markers are now interactive popovers with quick-fix actions — tap any marker to see what's wrong and fix it on the spot.
• "Fishy" results now appear in popovers, and the popover resets automatically when a Pokémon becomes fully valid.

Advanced Search

• Advanced Pokémon search now supports filtering by type, origin game, flags, ribbons, and marks.
• All dropdowns across the app have been converted to type-to-filter autocomplete inputs for faster navigation.

Haptic Feedback (Mobile)

• Haptics now cover badges, markings, filter toggles, editor checkboxes, drag-and-drop, and more action buttons.

Android & iOS Fixes

• Fixed accidental pinch-zoom and scrollbar issues on Android.
• Fixed rapid-tap zoom on box navigation and tab buttons.
• Fixed iOS Safari drag-and-drop in the Trade tab.

Bag / Items

• TM, HM, and TR item names now show the move they teach.
• Item tooltips refresh correctly when switching between items.
• Item lookups now handle punctuation differences (e.g. hyphens vs. spaces) gracefully.

Sprites & Data

• New HOME sprites added for Pokémon Z-A and Mega Dimension forms.
• Filled the last remaining item and move description gaps using Bulbapedia and PokémonDB data.

Dialogs & UI Polish

• Dialogs now go full-screen on mobile, eliminating nested scroll problems.
• Info popovers pin as a bottom sheet on narrow screens.
• Dialog buttons standardized to a consistent filled style throughout the app.
• Fixed Pokédex National Mode checkboxes wrapping correctly on narrow viewports.

Settings

• New Clear App Cache & Reload button — handy when something feels stale.

Bug Reports

• Reports now automatically include your PKHeX.Core version and detected save source to help with diagnosis.

Manic EMU Export Fixes

• Fixed ZIP format compatibility for Manic EMU save exports.
• Exported filenames now include a UTC timestamp.

.NET Upgrade

• Updated to the latest .NET version and package versions.
