Project Orion 2.6.1 is here now. HOPEFULLY this fixes this stupid thing once and for all, but i've been saying that a lot. This one also helps out a couple starters with lacking movesets.
https://mega.nz/file/hEshjZJb#kwn6qVEyyshXuACT_WL-lEz9DKD7Usv7SiZckHDaf2wChanges:
-Somehow...partner permadeath returned. Screw it, hit R to force the game to set your party to be composed of protag/partner. I don't know if this causes issues at any point in the game and i'm far past the point of caring.
-Buffed Smeargle's starting HP to put him more in line with the rest of the roster
-Slightly buffed Poochyena's starting Attack and made it learn Bite at level 11 instead of 13. Also gave it Poison Fang as a starting move. Watch out for the ones in Mt Bristle!
-Changed Zigzagoon's L45 move from Fling to Extremespeed. Let's face it, you were never going to use Fling anyways.
-Changed Jigglypuff's Pound to be a Level 1 move so it actually has an offensive move when starting. Gave it Tri Attack at Level 35 as well (it learns this in gen 1!)
-Slight update to Ledyba's portraits
-Added Pitfall Traps to more floors in Orion Tower and changed around a few floor layouts
