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:
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:
Version 2.2 is now currently in development which will include all brand new features.
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.
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:
Plus plenty more. To read an overview of some of the new features, visit the version 2.1 update topic.
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.
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.
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.
As the most requested addition to the site I am proud to present The Pika Club’s very own fully functioning Pokédex, called the PHPokédex. This has been in the works for literally years ( work started around Gen III) so both myself and WhoKnows_WhoCares are very relieved that this thing is finally live.
Being live of course does not mean being completed – it is far from done! But it does contain arguably the most valuable data you could want from a Pokédex and it’s fully up to date for Pokémon Black/White. Enjoy and let us know what you think!
These updates are turning out to not be so mini but the Adoption Agency has just got a new feature!
You can now own your very own ranch which allows you to put Pokémon out to graze where they will earn exp every hour they are out. It’s fully upgradable and customisable too, so there’s plenty to do!
A new fad is sweeping the Adoption Agency! Pokédolls are the hottest thing right now and you gotta catch ’em all!
Not a very impressive collection...
Adoption Agency members will find a new link under ‘Trainer Hub’ which will take them to this new feature. Enjoy!
