Community Relations
8:38pm Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Just a small update here, Joeschmo is now our official Community Relations leader. Not too much will change from this announcement as he has pretty much already been doing that job of his own free will, we just thought he deserved for it to be official now. Any new or old members with questions or concerns about the community or the game in general should now direct them towards him.
P.I.C.H.U - Event 1
5:30am Monday, October 05, 2009
Ok so we're going to host this year's big tournament event for POL. It will almost definitely be a Shoddybattle event, but if people want to enter and they can't use Shoddybattle we can work out other things. I'm posting this as an update early because I want to see how much interest there is for this. If you want to participate in this tournament just vote in the poll so I can get an idea of how many people we'd have.
Proposed prizes:
- 1st Place: A second starter Pokémon of your choosing when the game is released, any non-legendary unevolved Pokémon.
- 2nd Place: A full set of contest berries.
If you have any ideas for other prizes or replacement prizes please also post them here, as well as general tournament suggestions. Please also keep spam out of this thread.
Attention Teams
3:59pm Saturday, October 03, 2009
This is just an update to say that from now until the game release, teams wont be suspended for inactivity. Inactivity rules regarding teams will resume one week after the game is released.EDIT: All teams already suspended will still have to follow the regular protocol if they want to be re-activated, but we wont delete the team thread until one week after the game release.
A wild Ivysaur appeared!
6:14am Monday, September 28, 2009
We have now released the first ever public screenshots of a POL battle in action. These images are from over 4 months ago in our very first client-side wild battle testing. We are showing 4 month old screenshots because we are still perfecting a couple of things on the latest version of the battle engine before we show it off. So just be patient and as soon as it's ready, we will show a video of the new version!
You can share our early success with creating a Pokémon battle engine now
In other news, Decypher has posted the progress on the Kanto Region Mapping.
