Let me clarify one thing about the beta playtests that has been asked.
First, there appear to be two variants, that you can distinguish by quality. I’ll call them HQ beta and LQ beta.
Here are some examples
HQ beta
LQ beta
The colors are more saturated and the font isn’t as jagged and lossy on HQ.
here’s a more examples:
HQ vs LQ
All the HQ beta seem to have a subtle smudge thing here too:
I have yet to see evidence that contradicts the following:
- all HQ beta have no dots
- all LQ beta have date metadata that says 2024
Would be interested if anyone could demonstrate a counterexample.
Also note the population for most betas is ~8 last I checked. I have only been able to find at most one HQ beta per pokemon.
Finally, I don’t believe that LQ betas are simply just scans/copies of HQ betas.
Artifacts like stray dots are not copied over from HQ to LQ.
