Pokermon 3.8.0 - The Elite Rellor

Important:
If you're having trouble loading the mod, try turning off Pixel Smoothing. This can significantly reduce the amount of loading needed.
Additionally, Pokermon now uses Steamodded version 1.0.0-beta-1620a and Lovely 9.0, so be sure to update to those versions.

Hey Pokermon fans! Time sure flies in the modding world! I'd like to highlight the dedication and hard work many of you contribute to this mod, it wouldn't be half as good without you. Which is why we ran a little contest for people to PR their Jokers! We've added quite a few already and plan to add more! That being said, this update brings several new jokers, reworks to older ones and even a brand new difficulty option! There's many promising things for the horizons as well, and we hope to continue to work hard to get all of Gen 3 into the mod!
