Prosparity

Hello All, I'm pretty new here and had a couple questions about the discord announcement from earlier today. My first question is what is the "multi-character merge" mentioned? Additionally, I'm wondering if the items that will become untradeable are based upon whether they were bought from a Pokemart or the item type itself. For instance, will all Pokeballs be untradeable or only those which were bought from a Pokemart as opposed to one found at a dig site. Thanks in advance

Attached is a screen shot of the battle log leading up to and including the bug. My Paras put the enemy Machamp to sleep and used Dig. The Knock Off attack directly before my Dig attack would deal damage appeared to damage me, which should have been prevented by being underground for Dig. This happened at the npc battle against Kiroro in the zone SSAnne 1F Room7 in Kanto. Let me know if there are any additional details I should provide.
