The Pokémon Café ReMix has received a large update. This update contains the events for the next month as well as some changes. Now, the amount of free stamina you can have will go up from 5 to 10 if you purchase a Premium Pass each month
Some changes have also been made to Slow Cooking. This includes a change in layout to show all stages at once, as well as it remembering the last Pokémon you used on that stage.
Fever time has been added to Slow Cooking if you make matches of icons or remove gimmicks. This increases the store significantly during the one turn by doubling it.
Booster items can be used once per stage and it will now change to the next stage right away, though you can interrupt if you wish.
