I started by looking into the dialogue and ended up comparing the story script differences between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 based on text dumps from abcboy's bulbapedia page. I'm passing on most of the universal grammar related changes (example: changing every instance of Mister Walksabout to Mr. Walksabout). From what I could tell, 1.1.0 doesn't have any main differences other than some files being placed in different orders.
Overall this shows that Larry was the most rewritten character between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. I guess he was just that complex of a character.
The common script has a lot more differences, most of them being minor line adjustments, but I'll highlight the most relevant one I noticed first.
Between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1, Behemoth Blade and Bash got new reworded descriptions to compensate for the lack of dynamax. Personally I think the new description fits Zacian more, while Zamazenta's builds off the old one in literally becoming a shield.
Here are the rest of the more significant differences of the common script.
Also the first question of the biology final exam got formatted differently with bullets instead of commas, which is easier to see in the actual game.
Speaking of the biology final, this question about Everstone and stone evolutions is actually wrong.
Also in school_reception.dat, there are unused listings for a Health class with Nurse Miriam in the menus after Home Ec, with numbered classes like Health (1) and a midterm/final and dialogue asking "You’d like health with Nurse Miriam?", but without an option in the revisit menu or full titles like the other revisitable classes.
Diff:
-That simple art... ▶
+Those mosaics... ▶
This is used in Alfornada town for someone talking about the Gen 1 minisprite art.
-Err... ▶
+Errr... ▶
I don't know where this is specifically from, but it seems to be for consistency as there are 8 other instances of "Errr" and this was the only "Err" in the game.
-The Tera Pokémon inside these black crystals are incredibly powerful...
+The Tera Pokémon found at these black crystals are incredibly powerful...
This text is from Jacq's call about 6 star raids.
-How’s the power of this move? See for yourself, why don’t you.
+I hope you find the power of this next move to be satisfactory.
This quote is from Larry's postgame rematch battle before he uses a move with Terastal, and is one of the more notable changes for being a completely different sentence.
-Anyway...about the LP thing. I thought I was going down big-time for hacking the League Point system, but looks like I got away with it...
+Anyway...about the LP thing. I thought I was going down big-time for hacking the League Point system, but they’re letting me off easy...
This is from Penny's speech at the ending of Starfall Street.
-There’s a special kind of strength that can only be reached by competing with a good rival...
+There’s a special kind of strength that can only be reached by competing with a good rival.
Geeta's comment after 8 gym badges no longer ends in ellipses.
-B-but I think my Pokémon are really strong, too. Like, REALLY strong!
+B-but I think the Pokémon on Team Poppy are really strong, too. Like, REALLY strong!
This is from the meeting with Poppy after the 4th gym.
-*ahem* Good luck.
+Ahem... Good luck.
-Your final opponent is terribly strong...but then, so are you! Banish your fear! With a calm mind, you will surely see the path to triumph!
+Your final opponent is terribly strong—but then, so are you! Banish your fear! With a calm mind, you will surely see the path to triumph!
Larry and Hassel's E4 postbattle dialogues got slight adjustments.
-If you poke at your Pokémon too many times while brushing them or while on picnics, they’ll get mad at you like Pikachu just demonstrated!
+If you poke at your Pokémon too many times while washing them during picnics, they’ll get mad at you like Pikachu just demonstrated!
This is from Salvatore's 5th languages class, where I guess washing during picnics is a more relevant way to put the example.
-All you have to do to stop an Auto Battle is press the R Button one more time! Your Pokémon will then come back as soon as it can!
+There’s no stopping an Auto Battle once it starts! You’ll have to wait and see how it plays out! You can call your Pokémon off before the battle starts, though, if you press the ZR Button while your Pokémon is still on its way to the opponent!
This is an answer to a possible question in Dendra's 5th battle studies class about if you can stop an Auto Battle. This is also notable to me because it ended up having the opposite meaning between versions and was completely rewritten, possibly referring to removed content.
-And it is my sincere wish that all of you go on to even greater, prosperous futures.
+And it is my sincere wish that all of you go on to even greater, more prosperous futures.
Hassel's final message after the art final exam.
-We’re Team Star, kid. We burn too bright to even look at directly! But you knew that, right?
+We’re Team Star, kid. We burn so bright, it hurts to look at us! But you knew that, right?
This is from the Team Star meeting at the start of the game, being less literal about their star analogy.
-The director introduced us. When you need someone good with tech, I guess it’s a no-brainer.
+The director introduced us. When you need someone good with tech, she’s a no-brainer.
Arven talking about Penny at the start of Area Zero.
-So I’ve been off doing some super-special training with Mabosstiff and my team!
+So I’ve been off doing some special super-serious training with Mabosstiff and my team!
Arven's dialogue from the first round of the ace tournament got more serious.
-You don’t have enough Pokémon that will obey your commands, so you can’t challenge Team Star.
+You don’t have enough Pokémon that will obey you, so you can’t challenge Team Star.
A similar dialog exists for the STC version too but was unchanged.
-*chomp chomp snarf chomp*
+*chomp chomp* *snarf* *chomp*
Koraidon/Miraidon eating a sandwich, now with separated chomps and snarfs.
-Did you come across the Asado Desert to get here as well? You didn’t happen to see a kind of weird Pokémon on the way here, did you?
+Did you cross the Asado Desert to get here as well? You didn’t happen to see a kind of weird Pokémon on the way here, did you?
Different phrasing from a lighthouse NPC.
-Why is your battle teacher here at a Pokémon Gym working as an instructor, you ask?
+Why is your battle studies teacher here at a Pokémon Gym working as an instructor, you ask?
Dendra before the ESP test.
-Welcome to the Treasure Eatery—proud to support the Medali Gym!
+Welcome to the Treasure Eatery—proud to be supporting the Medali Gym!
A minor rewording of the Medali gym test.
-Are those guys from Team Star? What the heck’re they yelling for?
+Are those guys from Team Star? What the heck are they yelling for?
Postgame commentary on Team Star. I just wanted to point out the removal of heck're.
-Anyway, was nice bumping into you both! Hasta la vistar! ☆
+Anyway, it was nice bumping into you both! Hasta la vistar! ☆
More postgame Team Star dialogue made less casual.
-Around a year and a half ago...
+About a year and a half ago...
Meli and Giacomo's flashback scenes were made consistent with the rest of Team Star.
-Ugh! HOW could I lose?! What the HECK!
+Ugh! How could I LOSE?! What the HECK!
Ortega's post-loss dialogue swapped capitalizations between words.
-There is a separate shrine for each of the four Pokémon, and eight stakes driven into the ground near each shrine keep the power of ruin at bay.
+There is a separate shrine for each of the four Pokémon, and eight stakes driven into the ground in the areas surrounding each shrine keep the power of ruin at bay.
Ms. Raifort's description of the stake areas uses more words.
-Languages (1): Greetings for Any Situation!
+Languages (1): Greetings for Any Situation
The first languages class lost an exclamation mark.
-But lately...I feel like I can take anything. No matter if I’m tired or feel like crying.
+But lately...I feel like I can take anything. Even if I’m really tired or feel like crying.
This sentence from Eri's flashback was reworded slightly.
-La Primera?
+The Top Champion?
This is an answer you can give to Kofu before his rematch.
-Aim to register 400 Pokémon species in your Pokédex! Oh, and when you do complete it... Press the X Button in your Pokédex app and you can get yourself a nice little completion mark! I’d love you to come show me when you get it.
+Aim to register 400 Pokémon species in your Pokédex! Once you do, press the X Button in your Pokédex app and you’ll get a nice little completion mark! I'd love if you could show me when you get it.
Jacq's final mission dialog was slightly reworded.
-I have to do La Primera’s bidding since she IS my boss...but now she’s ordering students around?
+La Primera IS my boss, so I have to do as she says...but now she’s ordering students around?
-I see... So you’re helping the boss free up some time to enter a tournament at the academy...?
+I see... So you’re helping the boss free up some time to enter a tournament at the academy?
-I’ll be facing you in my role as a Gym Leader, so I’ll be using my regular team.
+I’ll be facing you in my role as a Gym Leader, so I’m going to use my regular team.
Some rematch Larry dialogue was touched up.Overall this shows that Larry was the most rewritten character between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. I guess he was just that complex of a character.
The common script has a lot more differences, most of them being minor line adjustments, but I'll highlight the most relevant one I noticed first.
Between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1, Behemoth Blade and Bash got new reworded descriptions to compensate for the lack of dynamax. Personally I think the new description fits Zacian more, while Zamazenta's builds off the old one in literally becoming a shield.
Diff:
-The user becomes a gigantic sword and cuts the target. This move inflicts twice the damage if the target is Dynamaxed.
-The user becomes a gigantic shield and slams into the target. This move inflicts twice the damage if the target is Dynamaxed.
+The user wields a large, powerful sword using its whole body and cuts the target in a vigorous attack.
+The user’s body becomes a firm shield and slams into the target fiercely.Here are the rest of the more significant differences of the common script.
Diff:
-Restore PP
+PP
This seems to be for the menu where you restore PP with an Ether.
-Choose the first letter of the Pokémon species you want to search for
-Choose the first letter of the move you want to search for
-Choose the first letter of the Ability you wish to search for
+Choose a first letter, then select a Pokémon species to search for
+Choose a first letter, then select a move to search for
+Choose a first letter, then select an Ability to search for
These PC box search description got reworded.
-Rental Teams offer you a way to borrow the Battle Teams that other Trainers have put together and shared online. They also allow you to do the same—you can share your Battle Teams to let others try them out. When you choose to make a Battle Team public, a team ID will be displayed. Anyone who knows the ID can use it to search for and borrow that team!

This description was made more straightforward.
-I didn’t know there was a Pokémon that could climb these steep slopes...
+I didn’t know there was a Pokémon that could climb these steep slopes with a rider...
This trainer's text was made more clear.
-YODEL-AY-HEE-HOOO! Wah! Who’re you?!
+YODEL-AY-HEE-HOOO! Wah! Who are you?!
This is funny and I think this was changed because the post-battle text asks "Who ARE you?!" for emphasis.
-I am a dragon tamer... ▶
-We dragon tamers are wielders of dragon Pokémon!
+I am a Dragon Tamer... ▶
+We Dragon Tamers are wielders of dragon Pokémon!
Capitalization is important.
-What powers our Flying Taxies?! Squawkabilly’s plucky spirit!
+What powers our Flying Taxis? Squawkabilly’s plucky spirit!
I guess this was just a typo.
-I’ve heard the rumors of a Pokémon in these lands. One known as the False Dragon Titan!
+I’ve heard the rumors of a Pokémon in these lands—one known as the False Dragon Titan!
Connecting the sentence fragments.
-Hey! Hey, you there! You’re mine! You’ll be another feather in my cap! But what does that even mean?!
+Hey! Hey, you there! You’re mine! Once I defeat you, you’ll be another “feather in my cap”! But what does that even mean?!
This threat was made more clear about what it entailed.
-[VAR 0102(0000)] told a chillingly bad joke!
+[VAR 0102(0000)] is preparing to tell a chillingly bad joke!
Chilling Reception's preparation dialogue was made more clear for the timing when it shows up before the move.
-[VAR BD06(0000)][VAR 010C(0000)] cured its burn with its sheer determination so you wouldn’t worry!
+[VAR BD06(0000)][VAR 010C(0000)] cured its burn through sheer determination so you wouldn’t worry!
For some reason the Burn affection message got changed slightly.
-Your Tera Orb lacks the charge it needs to Terastallize your Pokémon! Another [VAR 0200(0000)] attack[VAR 1101(0000,0100)]s should provide the energy you need!
+Your Tera Orb lacks the charge it needs to Terastallize your Pokémon! After [VAR 0200(0000)] more attack[VAR 1101(0000,0100)]s, you’ll have the energy you need!
The dialog for clicking Terastallize in a raid without enough attacks was adjusted slightly.
-You can rent another Trainer’s team.
+You can rent another Trainer’s team
A period was removed
+Raging Fury
+The Pokémon rampages and attacks for two to three turns. It then becomes confused.
This is the latest entry of the Y menu status descriptions newly added in 1.0.1. Each thrashing move has its own version, though Thrash is named Rampaging, and I guess in PLA it just used Fixated.
-Manage teams you’re renting
-Manage teams to share
-What do you want to do with this Rental Team?
+Borrow Battle Teams
+Share your Battle Teams
+What do you want to do with this Battle Team?
-Make it public
-Don’t make it public
-Check
+Share
+Stop sharing
+Check details
Lots of minor text differences about rental/battle teams.
-Please select a Battle Team.
-Please select a Rental Team.
+Choose a Battle Team to share or stop sharing.
+Choose a Battle Team to borrow or return.
+Please select a Battle Team to share.
+You can borrow Battle Teams that other Trainers have shared.
+You can share and lend out your Battle Teams.
I think this text is mostly just original but around the same places. Also strings for Rental 1-5 and Shared 1-5 were removed and generally "made public" became "shared".
-The Pokémon changes the weather so that no moves are supereffective against the Flying type.
+The Pokémon changes the weather so that no moves are super effective against the Flying type.
This is actually part of a general universal change of supereffective becoming super effective which also came up a few times that I ignored in the story script.
-The academy’s generous funding made the Area Zero Expedition possible, and the data gathered has been shared with the academy in hopes that it will help aid in the institution’s research work and help foster future generations of scholars and scientists.
+The academy’s generous funding made the Area Zero Expedition possible, and the data gathered has been shared with the academy in hopes that it will aid in the institution’s research work and help foster future generations of scholars and scientists.
Minor rewording of the sponsor page of the Book.
-We attempted to shave off a piece of the plate, but failed to leave even a scratch.
+We attempted to shave off a piece of the plate but failed to leave even a scratch.
Comma removed.
-During our exploration of Area Zero’s depths I, Heath, strayed from the team and was later found unconscious. When awoken, I could only recall speaking with someone in an unfamiliar place, as if in a dream. I was found holding the page shown here. The handwriting is my own, but I have no memory of writing this.

Minor text fix to Heath's phantom memory.
+You won’t be able to catch this Pokémon even if you defeat it, because your Boxes are full!
A new raid warning line for 1.0.1.
-...Oh? There’s still something else in the basket!
+...Oh? There’s something else in the basket!
+It’s another Pokémon Egg! Do you want to take it?
The another Egg line is new for 1.0.1.
+Quit
Apparently the picnic wash feature didn't have a Quit line.
-Fresh strawberries are folded into the ice cream so you can taste their natural sweetness.
+Fresh strawberries are folded into the ice cream, so you can taste their natural sweetness.
One comma was added to the Strawberry Ice Cream description, but this isn't the end of the food descriptions.
-The spicy addition has made this sandwich a bit more palatable, but still, it’s not necessarily for everyone.
+The spicy kick added to this sandwich has made it more palatable, but it may still be an acquired taste.
The Great Curry-and-Rice-Style Sandwich's description was adjusted, though being more similar to the Ultra version by mentioning the acquired taste.
-The ultimate form of the Potato Salad Sandwich. The sweetness of the herbs is what will decide its success.
+The ultimate form of the Potato Salad Sandwich. The sweetness of the herbs hugely affects its flavor.
The Master Potato Salad Sandwich got some pressure to succeed taken off of it.
-The hint of sweetness manages to preserve the harmony between all the fillings of this miraculous sandwich.
+A hint of sweetness manages to preserve the harmony between all the fillings of this miraculous sandwich.
The Master BLT Sandwich description starts with a different word.
-A sandwich whose main goal is filling up the tummy. Flavor is nice, but quantity is the main concern.
+A sandwich whose main goal is filling up the tummy. It’s got a nice flavor, but the focus here is quantity.
The Great Hefty Sandwich's second part was adjusted to be less casual.
-While others ask “why?,” this sandwich asks, “why not?” It’s best when the curry powder is lightly toasted.
+While others ask “why?” this sandwich asks, “why not?” It’s best when the curry powder is lightly toasted.
The Curry-and-Noodle Sandwich got rid of its comma inside a quotation mark entirely.Also the first question of the biology final exam got formatted differently with bullets instead of commas, which is easier to see in the actual game.
Speaking of the biology final, this question about Everstone and stone evolutions is actually wrong.
Also in school_reception.dat, there are unused listings for a Health class with Nurse Miriam in the menus after Home Ec, with numbered classes like Health (1) and a midterm/final and dialogue asking "You’d like health with Nurse Miriam?", but without an option in the revisit menu or full titles like the other revisitable classes.
