Replacing Cave's Beach link with Lake would weaken the "water loop", a situation where players get continually routed back to Beach, leading to frustration. Lake is a crossroads biome that connects to much of the rest of the game, while still connecting to Beach, making it not a drastic detour.
Infernal Vulpix simulated a hypothetical 10k wave endless run for me to see the difference this change would have on biome frequencies. Apologies for the broken formatting from me copying this from Discord:

Changes some of the more problematic passives some Pokémon had. As usual, if there's any that you may have a problem with, we are always up for suggestions.
There is now an alternate easier evolution method for Mantyke into Mantine, that being having Remoraid simply being registered as caught and be level 32.
* Implement Rivalry
* Implement Quick Feet, Liquid Voice, and Normalize
* Forgot paralysis is half speed instead of a quarter
* Remove log statements
* Fix minor edge case in rivalry for gendered vs genderless
* Add Maylene
This fix currently has the unintended side effect of making Champion Leon unable to be fought, but every other set of Elite Fours is now followed by the proper Champions as intended.
This includes the nerfing of all the recovery move's PP to 5, and slight adjustment of power to a few attacks. Also corrected Indeedee's type to be properly Psychic/Normal.
