I can reproduce this. It seems the frame blending timer is too small, but getting that right is pretty hard.

This issue should be created upstream at https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/PokemonMini_MiSTer; I didn't write the core and probably won't fix this issue across both repos.

It's been nearly a year since I touched the core, and I haven't programmed any other cores in the mean time, so I'm quite rusty. From a quick testing on MiSTer, it seems that the problem has nothing to do with the blending as a tear line is visible without blending on. One possibility is that I'm swapping framebuffers while rendering the frame, which could cause this. I'll have to see if I can get the core compiled again and see if I can fix it. @agg23 if you have any fix in the mean time, let me know.

I didn't notice the tearing, but that's a good catch. I'm probably not going to look at this very soon, but if you have something in particular you want me to investigate, I might.

Fixed on MiSTer.
