University's coming back, so updates from here might slow down a bunch. We'll see how it goes. For now, here's what's in the new update:

There's a friendship meter! If you max out your friendship with a ponpai (right now the only way is talking to the Glamelt in the forest), you can see the ponpai's preferred attack in battle! If you manage to use it during that turn, it'll become stronger! Currently doesn't affect status or trap attacks... I'll figure something out for that later.
The range of the attack is now represented by blue/red boxes instead of the MS Paint lightning effect from before!
There's a new look for the info boxes! No more black boxes with white text!
Five new ponpai:
- Polgrowth, an ancient flag bearing creature
- Frailia, a possum that will attack even with 0 hp
- Jackorrode, a living jack o' lantern
- Diamaul, a glass cannon
- And Psy Chick, a mind-controlling bird
Because of Psy Chick's addition, there's also the following status effect, which lets the opponent control your ponpai for a turn.
You can access the cave at the end of the forest! Some of the more interesting or difficult ponpai have been moved there.
Finally got the victory screen exp bars working on a fresh save!
