NEWS SUMMARY


IMPORTANT INFO HERE! Below are important or notable news items that deserve your attention. Take a look![break][break]

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • FW: BRANCH & BAUBLE has concluded. A follow-up moderator post will be made to reveal the intents of THE DRK TRIAD.
  • TO SOW DRAGON'S TEETH has now concluded! Thank you all for participating.
  • The VITAL CITY TOURNAMENT has concluded as well. Huge thanks to TEAL for his hard work conceptualizing and publishing this event. A follow-up moderator post will be made to announce the characters on the podium! THERE IS NO SECRET PRIZE; however, there is site lore to explore.
  • A rework of the BLACK MARKET will be coming soon. Every month, the selection in the Black Market will change. Pokemon can be purchased from the Black Market; however, they will not be "sold out". Instead, players can decide to purchase ONE POKEMON from the static selection without fear of missing out.
  • Please ensure that your characters are in MEMBER DIRECTORIES & FACE CLAIMS.

NOTE: this event cycle will be relatively calmer than previous ones! Though there will be a lot happening on site with the appearance of certain Pokemon, we hope that this month will give writers a chance to explore new beats in their characters' arcs.

UPDATES 2/2


COPY AND PASTED FROM DISCORD #ANNOUNCEMENTS



NEW MISSIONS
New missions have been added, including new standard missions.

NEW LOCATIONS
Two new locations have been added: The Great Chasm and Area Zero. Wild threads can be made here. The Great Chasm spawns rock and grass types, while Area Zero spawns rock, fire, and electric types (subject to change).

THE BLACK MARKET
The Black Market has now been changed. 1 Pokemon per selection can be purchased per character. Pokemon are not "sold out" once purchased. In other words, the Pokemon may be purchased by multiple people. The stock will rotate approximately every month.

CHANGES TO MOVES

  • Pokemon who redeem the reward for an Extra Move Slot from events can also be affected by Kasib Berries that grant an additional move slot.

  • Pokemon can only have 1 of the Passho/Figy/Occa Berry effects (subject to change).

  • Smeargle can not Sketch or use Legendary/Mythical moves (the lore reason can be found in the "Smeargle Swarm" thread). The only exception at the moment is Springtide Storm—but this may change in the future due to IC developments.

  • Smeargles can not Sketch/use the move, Transform anymore.

  • Ditto can still Transform into parts or imperfect versions of Legendaries/Mythicals they see; however, they can not use Legendary/Mythical moves as well.

  • The Ditto/Smeargle changes have been done to preserve the grandeur of Legendary/Mythical moves and keep Ditto/Mew special. Smeargle who have had the aforementioned moves can replace them with Sketch for free.

  • Springtide Storm will not occupy an "event move slot" and must occupy one of the Pokemon's possible 8 move slots. Please make changes accordingly (you do not need to post in the Site Shop; however, this will be monitored).

  • To reiterate, Pokemon can only have MAX 8 MOVES. Certain exceptions may occur such as a Pokemon with 8 moves terastallizing and gaining Tera Blast as an extra move it has access to.


CHANGES TO SYGNA SUITS
  • New "Emotional Natures" have been added to Sygna Suits. Check the Sygna Suit Mechanic thread for more details.

  • The special "Emotional Natures/Elevated Themes" for when 3 Rockets/3 League themed characters come together have been renamed to Truth and Ideals.

  • Sygna Suits do not apply to a whole evolutionary line now. You must pick one Pokemon stage (e.g. a Meowth Sygna Suit will not apply to a Persian; a Gallade Sygna Suit will not apply to a Gardevoir).

  • If you are affected by this change, please let me know which Pokemon you'd like to synchronize your Sygna Suit to.

  • An item/reward to help switch out your synced Pokemon and/or to add a new synced Pokemon may be added in the near future.


WHAT IS NEXT ON MY TO-DO LIST?
  • Launching of "Tales Beneath the Dyna Tree" & "Excursions Into Area Zero"

  • Reading of and archival of "Father Winter 2" threads.

  • Moderator post for the conclusion of "Father Winter 2" and its effects on the storyline or contributions to lore.

  • Moderator post for the conclusion of "Vital City Tournament" and its effects on the storyline or contributions to lore.

  • Adding new Awards.

  • Updating The RKS Simulation.

  • And more!
