Game options

## Options menu

The options menu can be accessed in-game from the Start menu or from the game's main menu. It allows the player to customize several aspects of the game.

#### Music volume / SE volume

Adjust the game's volume for music and sound effects respectively. These can also be muted completely by unchecking BGM and BGS in the F1 menu,

#### Text speed

The speed at which the in-game's text is displayed. Does not affect text in battles.

#### Download sprites

When activated, the game will attempt download custom sprites using the internet. If not, the game will only use the CustomBattlers and Battlers graphics folders.

#### Autosave

Makes the game save automatically every time the player heals at a Pokémon Center. It is recommended to activate it to minimize loss of progress in case the game crashes unexpectedly.

#### Battle type

Sets the preferred battle format (single, double or triple). If there are not enough Pokémon for the selected format, then the game will fall back to single/double battles.

#### Battle Effects

Enables/Disables move animations in battles

#### Battle Style

* Shift: Battles allow you to switch Pokémon before an opponent sends their other Pokémon
* Set: Cannot switch, but battles yield more Exp.

#### Default Movement

Sets whether the player will walk or run by default. The other movement option can be used by holding the Run key (remappable in the F1 menu).

#### Speech Frame

Changes the appearance of in-game textboxes. Some of the style might cause issues with the text's color so it is recommended to stick with the default.

#### Text Entry

Sets the controls for how text is input (such as the player's name), between Cursor and Keyboard.

#### Fusion icons

Changes how the party and box icons for fusions are displayed.

* Combined: The top of the head's icon and the bottom of the body's icon are used
* DNA: A generic icon is used for all fusions

#### Screen Size

Allows to set the game window's size. Larger sizes might increase lag slightly.

#### Quick Surf

Allows the player to begin surfing automatically when interacting with water.

#### Level caps
