Devlog timeline
PokeSpire updates
The game went up on 2026-10-27. I am not calling that v1.0. The itch page does not publish a version number. The upload I checked is build 20070350.

What I checked
I read both devlogs. Bug fixes is timestamped 2026-10-27 08:41 UTC. Hoenn is 2026-10-27 10:55 UTC. The itch page, both posts, and the Reddit launch thread all land on that calendar day.
The phone fix never got its own devlog. Players reported a broken layout, the developer said to try again, and an iPhone player confirmed it opened. I am filing that as an unlogged fix, source the Reddit thread only.

Hoenn, the same morning
The Hoenn post says the region opens when you are Johto’s champion, and that an existing Johto clear already qualifies. It names gyms from Roxanne through Wallace, the Elite Four, Steven, and rival May. It also names rain, sun, sand, and hail, plus Latias, Latios, and the Regis. Team Magma, Team Aqua, the Weather Institute, Safari Zone, Mirage Tower, and Slateport Market are named without floors.

Unlogged phone fix
Source: the Reddit launch thread only. A Fold user and an iPhone user said the game did not fit. The developer replied to try again. The iPhone user then said it worked. I do not have a changelog line for which CSS changed.
