Some release dates have been announced for Pokémon Conquest and Pokémon Black/White 2 in the west!
Pokémon Conquest, which has already been released in North America, has been given a European release date of July 27th 2012.
Pokémon Black/White 2 will be released in North America on October 7th 2012 and on October 12th 2012 in Europe.
Pokémon Black/White 2 leaked ahead of Japanese release
Ahead of its official release date in Japan tomorrow, Pokémon Black/White 2 has already leaked. We’ll be bringing your more updates as they become available now that the game is playable.
For the time being, here are some screenshots to whet your appetite:
Forum Update
Our forums recently got a much needed update. The most obvious difference is the new layout, called ‘Pokémon Forever’ which replaces our old ‘Sky’ layout which is several years old at this point.
A screenshot of our new forum layout.
In addition to the new layout, there are several new features and general tweaks to increase usability. These changes include, but are not limited to:
- RSS feed support for forums and topics
- Quick reply feature
- Post content on topic title hover
- PM/rank progress bars
Adoption Agency Version 2.1.5 Released
Version 2.1.5 of the Adoption Agency has been released. For those unaware, there is a forum topic here that will explain more about 2.1.5 but essentially it is more of an upgrade of existing features than adding new ones.
Changes in this update include:
- New Breeding Centre – There is more to the breeding centre now than simply leaving Pokémon there for an hour.
- Trading Centre Upgrade – You can now find trades easier and be much more specific with your trade requests.
- Mass Migration Box Feature – You can now mass move Pokémon between boxes for easier and faster sorting.
- Bag Sorting – Your bag is now sorted and categorised, making for easier navigation.
- Greater Preference Control – You now have greater control over your AA experience by being able to set preferences when editing your profile such as only allowing certain people to trade with you.
- Upgraded Friends List – Your friends list now shows which of your friends are currently online.
- Hall of Fame Return – The Hall of Fame has returned these easy tips and is more comprehensive than ever!
- Design changes – Some design elements have altered, such as a font change and new footer design. Javascript is also now required to use the AA properly.
Version 2.2 is now currently in development which will include all brand new features.
Munchlax Calculator Update
Some time ago I added a little tool to this site called the Munchlax Calculator which allowed you to work out which honey trees you could slather honey on to attract Munchlax in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. I left it and forgot about it for a long time until recently when it was brought to my attention that it was: 1) the number 1 result on Google for “Munchlax Tree Calculator” and 2) it was receiving decent daily traffic. As such, I decided to remake the calculator layout as it was very bare bones and did not even link back to our homepage before.
The new Munchlax Calculator
I have also added our Random Team Generator script to the tools menu as I did not realise it was missing. Contact professional California movers to give you an advice on moving into a new house budget. You can use our random team generator to create a random team of between 1-6 Pokémon using filters you specify.
The first update to the PHPokédex is also planned within the next few months to add some new features and improve user accessibility.
Adoption Agency Update
Those of you that are Adoption Agency users will be pleased to know that it has received an update, currently at v2.1.1
New features include:
- Quest Log
- New Areas
- New Pokémon
- New Achievements
- Forum PM Integration
- Daily Breeder and Pokémon Bonuses
Plus plenty more. To read an overview of some of the new features, visit the version 2.1 update topic.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from The Pika Club to everyone who celebrates and a happy holidays to everyone else! For those of you that are Adoption Agency members, you should check out the latest update on the AA’s index page for a Christmas gift.
For our non-Adoption Agency viewers we have not been keeping up with the latest Pokémon news very well for which I apologise. We completely failed to inform you of the latest upcoming Pokémon game, Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition. This is a SRPG which sees you help conquer imperial Japan with the aid of Pokémon! Check out the trailer below:
We shall attempt to keep you abreast of the latest news but both administrators are incredibly busy with their lives in general. I am in my final year at university so must devote most of my energy to that, meaning that I cannot devote as much time to TPC as I would like. Most of my focus with The Pika Club is now aimed at the Adoption Agency. If you would like to help out The Pika Club by providing news updates and/or Pokémon content for us then please do contact us.
Pokémon Musicals Guide Added
We’ve now got a guide up for Pokémon Musicals in Pokémon Black/White. While they’re not as involved as contests, your participation is required in them if you wish to complete your Trainer Card and they are a fun distraction from the main game. Given the lack of information on Pokémon Musicals despite the length of time Pokémon Black/White has been out I hope this guide is useful.
New Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green Section + Pokémon Gold/Silver & Black/White
After the working Pokédex the next most popular option on our poll (located on the right hand menu) is more information on old games. As such I have been doing just that today and have added a Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green section. More information including other games coming soon.
Edit: We now also have a Pokémon Gold/Silver Section.
Edit 2: We’ve also added a Daily/Weekly Events page to our Pokémon Black/White Game Guides section.
