Pixelmon Mod

I read the latest news saying that due to game-breaking issues, the Pixelmon team will no longer be supporting 1.8.9 Pixelmon. I don't want to intrude or anything but what is so game-breaking that they aren't going to support 1.8.9?

In other words, if no game-breaking issues are discovered, we will stop supporting 1.8.9. Supporting two separate versions is slowing down Pixelmon development significantly, and is not something we will just change our minds on based on a poll.

It was worth a shot

Not really, plus side-mods are now 1.10.2 and will not get any bugfixes to 1.8.9
