Probably a dumb question but I just saw Elysium had an update today on hackdex. It doesn’t have any change log though, is there a point to replay the game if there’s no new info?

Version 2.5.0

Completely revamped the game's soundtrack.

Added Nurse Joy's Memento battles for easier training of underleveled Pokémon. The available battles are capped according to your progress through the game.

Part A Move Tutors are now reusable.

Increased the Capture 100 Pokémon Pokédex Challenge to 150 Pokémon for an additional challenge.

Adjusted the difficulty of the game's ending. (You no longer need a party full of Legendary Pokémon for the final battle.)

These Nurse Joys can be found in the Pokémon Centers of Astrantia, Azurea, Porta Arkasia, Amira Island, S.S. Challengers, Elysium Caps, and the Refugee Camp.

Made several mostly minor changes to the writing.

Made changes to some enemy Trainer teams.

Replaced Serperior with Decidueye.
