Diagram Showing the Filter Differences Between the Mobile and Switch Versions

I haven't seen anyone document the differences in filter options between the 2 versions of Home yet, so I figured I would. Bare in mind that there are some extra things to clarify:

  • On Switch, you can search for multiple moves at a time.
  • On Switch, you can only search for an OT that matches the Pokémon you currently have selected - you can search for any OT without restriction on Mobile.
  • "Trainer Info" toggles between OTs you assigned to indicate they are yours (shown with a red cap icon) - these and favourite are exclusive features to Mobile, and aren't represented at all on Switch.
  • The built-in Pokédexes also have filter differences, primarily concerning forms.

Hopefully this is of use for folks here who want to display certain criteria about their Pokémon collections!

  • Addendum 1: The "Game(s) it can travel to" and "Compatible Games" filters appear to be mostly identical. However, the latter also has a "None" option in addition to the standard list of Switch games. This primarily filters for Spinda, Alolan Rattata/Raticate, and es-la Pokémon not transferable to LZA.
  • Addendum 2: The above are also different in how they treat backwards compatibility (as mentioned by /u/OperationNervous1636). For example, a Lucario caught in LZA can only be moved back to LZA. But a Lucario caught in a different game can be moved to any Switch game (excluding lgpe, of course).
  • Addendum 3: as mentioned by /u/tjryan42, there is a way to filter by labels on Mobile. However, this is handled in a separate menu from the standard filters.

Does OpenRCT2 Use Generative AI/Large Language Models?

I've been chatting with some peers and I was told by them that this re-compilation uses GenAI/LLMs for assistance purposes. But that seemed weird to me because the project started in 2014, well before this technology plagued literally every new open-source project. Furthermore, I couldn't find any mention on the formal website or on the GitHub page. Did I miss something or are my suspicions correct?

Predicting the Final Emerald Rush Events

With the 10th event on the horizon, I thought it'd be fun to predict how the next events could go. As a preface, I'm also assuming these will loop back after the 12th one, as to (essentially) have 1 event per months (hopefully they made the event windows bigger too). But without further ado:

  • August 4th-11th - Resort Layer (DK Coin + Kiddy Kong), probably gonna focus a lot of eating fruit and water skipping
  • August 25th-September 1st - Feast Layer (Hoofer + Zebra Bananza), in the same way the Canyon Layer was a Kong Bananza-focused event I predict that the Feast Layer will heavily feature Zebra Bananza
  • September 15th-22nd - Lagoon Layer (Funky Kong + Candy Kong), big focus on surf surf and it matches to have Kongs in the layer smattered with simian decor

I'm curious to hear your thoughts. How do you think the next events will shake out?

Concerns About The Next Digiverse Collab [SPOILERS]

There's a good deal of speculation about what the next Digiverse collab will be. Unfortunately, I think Two Point Studios made a very bad pick this go around. I have on good authority that they decided to collab with >!Party Animals!<

Yes, the same game that attempted to host a GenAI video contest and made an "apology" response that multiple parties confirmed was written by a GenAI chatbot.

My ire comes from the fact that the developers are pretty clear that they don't want to promote GenAI in their games at all. The latest DLC even parodies ChatGPT. So going on to collab with the very pro-GenAI >!Party Animals!< makes me think it's a rather hypocritical call.

It's probably too late for anything to change now, but I really wish the developers screened their collaboration partners more (Dave the Diver already used GenAI for translating their latest DLC).

Edit: These were the exact icons found in the game files
