PATCH NOTES
WITH THE 6TH ANNIVERSARY, updates to various features on site have now arrived!
- MEGA EVOLUTION: the mega evolved state is no longer restrained to "three turns". Mega Extenders are now defunct, but save them for events like the "Cram-o-matic", where you can recycle old items for new ones.
[break]
- GARDEN SYSTEM: A Sprayduck has been added to the Site Shop. If your character has 500 posts, they can purchase this to unlock two more garden slots.
[break]
- GARDEN SYSTEM: Max Honey has been added to the Eight Week Harvest category. Crystablooms have been added to the Sixteen Week Harvest category. Figy Berries have been removed from the Sixteen Week Harvest category, but their effect will return in Space-Time Distortions.
[break]
- GARDEN SYSTEM: Pokemon can now possess all Sixteen Week Harvest effects. Kasib Berries only unlock the 7th moveslot for a Pokemon and not an 8th. Kasib berries currently being grown can still apply the 8th moveslot.
[break]
- GARDEN SYSTEM: You can only grow ONE PASSHO AT A TIME. Current gardens growing multiple Passhos will still be honored.
[break]
- SYGNA SUITS: You can switch the species of Pokemon that your Sygna Suit syncs with by purchasing a "Sygna Switch" for 250 PD in the Site Shop.
[break]
- SYGNA SUITS: New themes have been added. They include Cosmic, Gadgeteer, Lorekeeper, Type Specialist, Draconic and Nature Lover.
[break]
- SYGNA SUITS: Tier Four of Sygna Suits have been unlocked. Dubbed "Arc Suits", these new suits use the power of PLATES & CRYSTABLOOMS to sync with certain mythical and legendary Pokemon (listed below)
ICly, these suits are not "more powerful" than other Sygna Suits. However, they come dangerously close to being "perceived" by the heavens.[break][break]
Furthermore, Tier Four Sygna Suits allow your character to sync with another Pokemon species. They also unlock another "theme" for your character for a total of FOUR POSSIBLE THEMES. Unlocking this tier also allows you to RESET YOUR THEMES. Just indicate the new ones or swapped ones in the Site Shop.[break][break]
To upgrade, purchase a "Sygna Suit Arc Upgrade" in the Site Shop for 1x Plate, 1x Tera Shard, 1x Dynamax Candy and 500 PD. [break]
- ATELIER OF ANOMALIES: New abilities and moves have been added.

MESSAGE FROM SHIV
HOW HAVE WE REACHED SIX YEARS OF HOENN. A huge thanks to those who have continued to partake in our writing community here and to those who have newly joined. Your investment in the stories (personal and overarching) here, your enthusiasm for the site and each other, your hard work and discipline, and your ability to have fun and not take things too seriously is treasured and honoured.[break][break]
Throughout the years, we've been able to painstakingly cultivate a healthy culture for creative writing. When mishaps happen, most are able to communicate, grow, and practice kindness. When that can not happen, I've had to make difficult decisions—but every time it is worth it! We'll continue to stay vigilant to protect this community, because it is truly something special. Honestly, I never thought I'd be running a forum roleplay this long, but I'm so happy that I stuck it through. Logging in is a daily joy for me! Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart.[break][break]
Special thanks to all the "lorekeepers", the coders and sheet makers, Crow for her modwork, and Spiral for his advice and wisdom as always![break][break]
TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE, there are three anniversary packs for you to choose from below. Explanations for picking a pack can be found below as well.
