Explorers of Memories Official Demo v.2.1.0

Explorers of Memories is a romhack where the protagonist never lost their memories, and this effects the story in many ways causing events to never happen or making events happen earlier than they should.
However, this is not a retelling of the original story, instead it is a brand-new story with elements of the original.
This should be played after you finish the original sky as it spoils many things.
Chapters 1 and up to 12 are currently completed as of this demo.
This patch is for US versions of the game and works with Xenophobia and Clean roms.

FIXES/NEW CONTENT

Many Dungeons have experienced a variety of different changes to them: New items, Tms, Pokemon, Pokemon removed, enemy moveset changes, and some dungeons have been redone! To account for these changes, there are two categories added (Patch 2.1.0 Removed Pokemon and Dungeon Changes). Here are some of the noteworthy changes:

• Amp Plains/Far Amp Plains have been redone and is now a 27-32 dungeon with new Pokemon to face! The NPC to unlock the dungeon is in the crossroads for those with older save files that beat Nothern Desert (This dungeon unlocks after being assigned to explore Northern Desert).
• Forest Pathway has been entirely redone with new Pokemon that better fit the Pokemon in Foggy Forest
• The following dungeons have had Pokemon removed from them as certain Pokemon are not needed or their role is already covered: Apple Woods, Craggy Coast/Side Path, Mt. Horn, Pathless Cavern, and Northern Desert.
• The following dungeons have had Pokemon added to them: Rock Path, Foggy Forest, and Pathless Cavern
• Poisonous Swamp and Pathless Cavern now have proper job rankings
• All Dungeons have had their Pokemon spawn rates adjusted
• Added a warning after beating Mesprit to mention that saving can make the player unable to return to Treasure Town
• The last thing to mention is that Dusknoir's portrait has been added to menu over Manectric's Portrait

ABILITY CHANGES

All Enemies have their hidden abilities if they have them and they do not have two abilities already (and it doesn't break early game). If their evolution has a hidden ability, but the pre-evolution does not then the pre-evolution will also get the hidden ability. Hidden Abilities are only given to pokemon if they are released and can be legitimately found on that Pokemon.
All Starters and their evolutions have two abilities if they did not have two abilities before.
Most of the abilities added to the starters are based on their hidden ability (if available/not broken) or community feedback.
Some hidden Abilities that damage the Pokemon, such as Solar Power, are not added to starters, but instead to their evolutions.

Gen 1: Charmander (Blaze/Flame Body)/Charmeleon and Charizard (Blaze/Solar Power), Bulbasaur line (Overgrow/Chlorophyll), Squirtle (Torrent/Battle Armor)/Wartortle and Blastoise (Torrent/Rain Dish), Pikachu line (Static/LightningRod (this may seem broken, but remember this means that enemies have these abilities as well), Eevee (Adaptablity/Anticipation)/Vaporeon(Water Absorb/Hydration)/Jolteon(Volt Absorb/Quick Feet)/
