| Pokémon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2 Redux |

| Type Changes (v1.1.0) |
o-----------------------------------------------------o

=========================================================
General Notes
=========================================================

The Fairy-type has been added to the game.

- This is an imperfect implementation, see the 'Known Bugs' document for more
information.
- Drastic, MelonDS and DeSmuME are confirmed to work correctly, other emulators
*may* have issues playing Redux.
- We've managed to get Redux working on the 3D's TWiLight Menu++. We've also heard
that certain R4 cards should work, but we can't guarantee that! See the 'Known Bugs
and Hardware Information' document for more information.
- With that said, until we get more information from players, an emulator is
recommended.

All Pokémon that are Fairy-type in Gen VI onwards are also Fairy-type in Redux.
This is true for the Complete and the Vanilla versions.

For the type changes below, they are only present in the 'Complete' version of the
Redux. If you don't like these changes, use the 'Vanilla' version patch instead.
