ANNOUNCED CHANGES:
FOUND IN THE CODE: In addition to some minor changes, there are two big discoveries we need to tell you about!
PNN ANNOUNCEMENT: While you're here, we have an announcement. Earlier this week we ran a poll to see what article topic readers would like to see first. Unfortunately, they came in a four-way tie. So, here's our tentative schedule about these articles.
Thanks for reading, Trainers!
ANNOUNCED CHANGES:
- Improvements Made to In-Game News
- Can Now Search for "Shiny" Pokémon
FOUND IN THE CODE: In addition to some minor changes, there are two big discoveries we need to tell you about!
- FORM SUPPORT: The way the Pokédex will display gender, form, and Shiny icons has been updated. This update gives space for Unown's two unreleased forms, which are based on an exclamation point and question mark. It also supports Deoxys and Castform's multiple forms. For images about these changes, look below the text.
- QUESTS: This is something that we have been asking for for over a year now: quests! The code represents multiple actions, interactions with Professor Willow, and pre-conditions. Be mindful that this feature is not yet active, but has great potential.
PNN ANNOUNCEMENT: While you're here, we have an announcement. Earlier this week we ran a poll to see what article topic readers would like to see first. Unfortunately, they came in a four-way tie. So, here's our tentative schedule about these articles.
- RAID GUIDES: We plan to have a Mewtwo Raid Guide out before the next EX Raid day. We'll also be making a Legendary-Raid preparation article later this week.
- SPECULATION: Our speculation articles about Breeding and YouTube will be released over the next week or two.
- EX RAID RANT: This article will come as soon as we complete it. We plan on putting a lot of time and effort into this incredibly-important article. Follow us on Twitter for updates about all of these articles.
Thanks for reading, Trainers!
