Feb 1, 2026Month: 2026-02 delivered a focused quality improvement on Battle AI scoring integrity. The work centered on preventing score inflation by ensuring scoring changes occur only when opposing battlers are alive, improving fairness and accuracy of the in-battle scoring system. No new gameplay features shipped this month; the emphasis was on reliability, correctness, and maintainability of core AI scoring logic across the rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion repository.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (Month: 2025-10): Delivered substantive AI battle decision-making enhancements in rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion, strengthening safety and reliability in combat scenarios. Key features include improved status-curing logic using items (Purify, Smelling Salts) and refined AI behavior for weather/terrain effects, plus safeguards to reduce Encore baiting via a configurable RISK_ENCORE_CHANCE. A code clarity refactor renamed HasBattlerSideAbility to AI_IsAbilityOnSide to better reflect runtime checks. These changes improve player experience through more predictable battles and reduce exploit surfaces while enabling easier future tuning.
