- Distribution (0%)
Hi
ReplyDelete2nd?
ReplyDeletewhat about the new screen?
ReplyDeleteand awesome new update thanks
the 'game download link' section still has version 3.4 ...will 3.5.1. be available tonight?
ReplyDeleteAmazing new level, I finally could beat it. Giant Onix defeated my venusaur, it is a beast!!!
ReplyDelete@bullyBoy - They are out now :)
ReplyDelete@anon 1:36AM - I still haven't received the files from the creator.. I have to send him another email.
ReplyDeleteHey Sam, i believe the Giant Onyx round is glitched.
ReplyDeleteI just attempted to do it, and this happened-
http://i55.tinypic.com/2u7vb02.png
It was going fine, then my pokemon got "attacked", the venysaur disappeared, but then all of it went wrong haha. And it jsut froze with my pokemon continuously attacking but nothing happening.
what do you have to do before the giant onix shows up? :/
ReplyDeletewow, a level 44 cap? that might be going too high before hitting the new gym sometime in the future.
ReplyDeletehey how do i get flash i used cut and made the trade with the old man for jinx but i never received flash am i missing someting?
ReplyDeleteI have to say Sam, I'm really liking the "pick your own path" deal with the Rock Tunnel. The challenges are a bit tricky, but doable. Hope to see this again in the Silph Co. tower if that ever comes around. The only thing I don't follow is how does the protagonist get to the Rock Tunnel from Digglet's Cave? I also would have liked to have seen Route 10 :[ . Ah well.
ReplyDeleteAs for the shiny challenge, really interesting concept. The first part is a cakewalk. The second, not so much, but I'll keep at it. Thanks for the update. Now to look for some pikachu and dogs! *whips out bug-catching net and walks off singing* "Minami no shima wa..."
how do you get to the giant onix?? plz really need help
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 1:48 - do it again without an abra this time ;)
ReplyDelete-MasterHoyt
will somebody tell me how to get to giant onix? PLEASE!
ReplyDeletei will give them a shiny pidgey, shiny jigglypuff, shiny staru, or shiny onix for free.
email me what to do at ovaiskhan_1997@yahoo.com
@Sam: I almost forgot! The health system is finally put into place! That made the giant onix challenge very interesting, especially since I nearly lost since my blastoise suddenly went down.
ReplyDelete@anon 1:44 AM: It's intentional, except for the freezing part. The onix are supposed to attack. You should notice rocks being thrown at you
@anon #1 @ 1:46 AM: Just look through all the areas except for the exit. You may have to come back to some. I'm sure you'll find it if you keep on looking :].
@anon 1:48 AM: To get flash, just redo the route with cut and don't bring an abra. Professor Oak will give the HM to you.
Hey Sam,
ReplyDeletePossible problem. I just caught the 10 Pikachu already had the lvl 42 Pikachu and finished evolving my Electrode. However, when I received my Shiny Voltorb it said I was hacking? Any ideas whats going on there? I have also been hearing that trading with others makes you suspicious of Hacking. Is this a bug?
Just gave the cave a run or two and I like it. Haven't found the giant onyx yet, but I'll do some more exploring in the morning. Glad to see that there are more battles where the player is on the offensive instead. Now I need to start looking at the defensive moves more to find a good setup to get past those guys.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't help but burst out laughing when during my exploration, for the first time since the rate change of shiny appearances, a shiny appeared for me, a geodude. Still praying to find a suicune (all time favorite pokemon) maybe I might get lucky while training my new machop on rout 5/rock tunnel.
Oh, and great job with the targeting system. Kinda got used to the regular targeting, but there were always annoyances I had with it that this is a perfect addendum to.
Oh, wanted to mention it before, but you might have fixed it. In digglets cave, there was a spot I noticed where you can place a pokemon, but it was poised so that a pokemon set there would be unable to attack. It's on the vertical portion of the tunnel with two rocks curved over it. I set a pokemon there and it let pokemon after pokemon go by without so much as a glance. Gonna take another look at the cave to see if that's still there, but I wanted to mention it anyways just in case, to see if that was intentional or not.
Again, awesome update, the cave is a fun little maze to run around and I can't wait to see what other goodies are hidden in it that I haven't found yet.
~Sabourin
@Christ Tan see there was never any rocks that i visibly saw, my pokemon just disappeared, i knew it was going to attack but i enver actually saw it. And then everything went wrong =\.
ReplyDelete@Sam: 1. Are the pokemon in Rock Tunnel buffed (i.e. increased stats)?
ReplyDelete2. Now that the targeting system is in place, can we expect enemy trainers to use it against us?
@anon 1:58AM - email me please sotero86@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOk, just did a quick go at the cave. That spot I mentioned is alright now. Feel free to ignore what I said about it in my last post. :P
ReplyDeleteso that means that for next update I'll finally have my dreamy Thunder Fang Arbok? *puppy eyes*
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for posting so frequently, I'm usually a quiet person, but there's something that I gotta ask.
ReplyDeleteI'm on rout five and my first two towers are my new machop and a primape. Both are using fighting type moves: Seismic toss and low sweep.
Now, when machop uses low sweep on jigglypuff, it's red numbers indicating that it's super effective. But when primape uses seismic toss, another fighting move, the damage is in black numerics. Why isn't it in red for super effective like low sweep?? They're both fighting type moves but they do different amount of effectiveness on the same defending type. Is it because of the move itself and if they were both using seismic toss, it be regular effectiveness? I'm confused. ._.
You should get to see the trainer's attack pokemon and moves before you set up your troupe, or you shouldn't get kicked out of the entire cave just for losing.
ReplyDelete@Sam: Sorry, but I have a quick suggestion: Why not have certain moves have a second or third effect.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know, there are already moves like that, but think about this: Sand Attack and Smokescreen so far only prevent enemy pokemon from taking candy. However, in the actual game they reduce accuracy. Now Flash does just that, but it does not prevent pokemon from stealing candy, and reducing accuracy isn't really helpful if you're defending unless they are attacking back. Also, accuracy isn't really in effect as of yet, so having flash, sand attack, and smokescreen reduce accuracy and prevent pokemon from taking candy would be more useful now that the enemy can fight back.
By giving attacks secondary/third effects (like in the poor example, in my opinion, above) or by changing their effects, it would make moves more valuable/useful.
To illustrate the second case, payback currently does more damage if the foe's speed has increased. However, in game it does more damage when you are attacked. Now that your tower is able to take damage from enemy pokemon (and hopefully, in the future, be able to fight enemy towers when taking candy *hint hint*), payback would be more useful if it doubles damage when the user is attacked rather than if the foe has increased speed, especially since not many of your enemies increases their speed.
To better show the first case, you could keep the "speed" cause and add in the "damage" cause to give the "double damage" effect. That way, it would give the user more chances to get that effect as well as keeping opponents, especially when multiplayer comes out, on their toes.
Wow, lengthy post is very lengthy. I don't know what you think of it. Who knows, it may do more harm than good. Anyways, it's just an idea.
Does the 'super-effective' targeting system work off your pokemon's type or the type of the move your pokemon is actually using.
ReplyDeletesam i love this update! i'm still figuring our the whole map of the rock tunnel...
ReplyDeletebtw, what does "Distribution" mean in the update list? i can see it every time but have no idea in it.
Cool level
ReplyDeleteSo for the Shiny Voltorb challenge, do i have to do both parts in the same sitting, or can is it possible for me to do part 1 one day, and part 2 another?
ReplyDeleteI know how to find the giant onix. First you go in the rock tunnel, with a pokemon that has the move flash. Defeat all trainers, and wild pokemon (all areas) then go to the place with the path blocked with boulders, and onix should apper. Battling it is hard, since it can kill your pokemon. Hope I helped.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it with the flash :)
ReplyDeleteI found a bug
ReplyDeletetargeting system not working especially 'Focus Candy', i used my pidgeot focus candy but he doesnt actually uses whirlwind to the pokemon tat carries it D:
pls do fix this
@Chris Tan
ReplyDeleteyou win for what you were singing :)
hey sam, the animation of "vital throw" seems a bit strange - the user becomes the opponent in the animation. Is it intentional or something?
ReplyDeleteI have a pretty wide selection of Pokemon I’m willing to trade, quite a few of which are shiny.
ReplyDeleteI’m looking specifically for a shiny clefairy, shiny drowzee, or shiny meowth that I can trade a shiny pikachu for but if you’d like something else feel free.
My profile is Stephenw, just look me up
Brilliant update, love the new level!! And the targeting system!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm not sure if the gyro ball attack works properly, I think it doesn't increase when attacking a target with increased speed.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Level, Sam!
ReplyDeleteTo battle giant onix you have 2 beat the 4 trainers and the three wild pokes rooms WITHOUT GOING 2 THE EXIT and then u have 2 went 2 the room between the 2 hikers:
ReplyDeleteNiiiiiiiceeeeeeee that priority first/fastest etc is very nice i missed that function.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great game bro.
Sam,
ReplyDeleteI beat the Onix and rescued the old man, but then I went out the exit. Was I supposed to go out the entrance??? When I went out the exit, it said that I hadn't seen Brock or Team Rocket. I guess I need to look around more after I beat the Onix...
-MasterHoyt
Sam I think you should put a restart buttom in the levels....great new level
ReplyDelete@Sam
ReplyDeletehow often can u do the quest? just once, once per profile(3x) and if its once per profile do you have to do the quest all over again? takes ages T_T
Hey what was that NPC trade about that was mentioned in previous update? How to start it and moreover i redo the diglett's cave and finished it mant a times. But i am not able to access the rock tunnel. Can you tell why???
ReplyDeletehey same ive got some ideas and questions 4 u
ReplyDelete1 in rock tunnel there is a path blocked by a pile of boulders to the north, are gonna have to go bck there whe we get rock smash or something
2 are you ever goin to make it so attacking pokemon can give defending pokemon status problems using moves
3 i love this quest about the giant onix and i think u should hide secrets in past levels (like a tree u cut down and it reales a new wild pokemon. or a lake that you surf across and find a new level)
love ur game sam, plz tell me wht u think of my ideas - jackjack626
ok sam, I know that the shiny quests aren't supposed to be easy, but after the 11'th time I played Veridian Forest 2, and still no Pikachu has appeared, I have to say that I don't think the quest is any easier than just catching a shiny.... I have pretty much the same odds of finding a shiny voltorb as the odds of finding (and catching!) 10 pikachu....
ReplyDeletejust my opinion
roy
hello sam i just got a lil question, what was the sinny rate before the event ?? cause im a lil confuse, great update and game
ReplyDeletekeep the good work
Pedro
I see for the next update that a 'storage rearrangement update'. Does that involve the box-system like in the original games?
ReplyDelete*Ferdy
Arcaine is called growlithe in the trading center
ReplyDeleteOh dear gawd... The giant onix... Complete annhialation...
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantastic upgrade.
ReplyDeleteI loved the rock tunnel and the targeting system!
Thanks
@anon 1:58AM I'm putting my shiny quest on hold now you've said that.
ReplyDeletei dont know why when i try to play it says: error you are playng an old version of the game.
ReplyDeleteGreat update, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSam i'm jsut wondering how much is the legendary dog appearance rate. I've caught a couple of shinies since the v3.4 but not even a glimpse of the dogs. Even in forums i havent met anyone who found the dogs... And in the trading section there is only ONE guy who has a suicine, and i;m just wondering if that guy is one of the lucky 10 who won at the competition...
ReplyDeleteSO my real question is the following... Could it be that the dogs cannot appear in the wild? Could it be a bug?
Please answer me.. thank you
@ Stephen im trading my shiny meowth for your shiny pikachu any other pokemon you wnat just ask and ill se what i can do :)
ReplyDelete@masterhoyt if you beat giant onix the old man should appear telling you to meet him at the entrance and then you go to the exit and go back in the level rock tunnel and the old man should appear telling you his shiny quest for shiny voltorb :)
ReplyDeleteYo. Ya know, I have been asking too much for other people's pokemon lately. I decided to put up pokemon of my own to trade. Just look up PokeMaster in the trading center and hook me up with a trade request!
ReplyDeleteI'm fixing the hacking bug, for now don't do the shiny quest and don't do NPC Trades while I fix it.
ReplyDeletethat was close...was just about to start my shiny quest...
ReplyDeleteA few things.
ReplyDelete1. Can voltorbs be found shiny in rock tunnel? Been trying for ages... Found machops not voltorbs.
2. Can the dogs be found at the same rate or have they increased too?
3. Could you add an automatic sorting for pokemon? Mine is just a mess now with over 200. Could it be done in pokedex order or something? And maybe have an option to uncheck it and have the random order again for those who have their own system. I want it more organized.
Thanks
The start button isn't working when I enter a level. Does anyone else have this problem.
ReplyDeletewhere to find and how to breat Giant Onix?
ReplyDeletehere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nn7sDwS9Ho
hey sam, you're probably aware but you can't skip rock tunnel intro even if you've played it before
ReplyDeleteand also with the rearangement update will it automatically update it? because i have arranged mine and am happy with it
keep up the good work sam!
~James~
@Sabourin:
ReplyDeleteFor your enquiry of Seismic toss, you should bear in mind that the damage of Seismic toss is NOT affected by weakness or resistance, except when the defending Pokémon is immune to it(eg. ghost type). And by the way, Seismic Toss doesn't receive STAB.
So, it is very normal and reasonable that Seismic toss shows black damage value in the game.
Hope it helps.
need to make it so you get more exp per kill...
ReplyDelete@sam I had already caught my 10 pikas before u had said not to, im still training voltorb am I goin to have to catch 10 more pikachus
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to trade between profiles?
ReplyDeleteSam, so you're saying I can't do the Voltorb quest for another 2hours+ because of a glitch? Bummer.
ReplyDeleteHow long until you fix the glitch when you begin updating?
Amazing update though, to be honest, it was worth the wait.
@anon 11:59 thank you. didn't know about that.
ReplyDeleteHey sam I was talking about super tms on the other post with Fire Blast and Blizzard and Thunder. Do think you could add that for this update too and just make them very expensive. It wouldnt only be those tms either you could add Solarbeam and Hyperbeam too. just all of the super strong tms would be there and like ten times the normal amount even.
ReplyDeleteHey Sam,
ReplyDeleteFantastic update- as always, thank you; your game never ceases to entertain.
I have one comment on your planned update for this week- please don't institute the "up to 6 pokemon for 1 pokemon" trade idea. It's hard enough trying to trade now as it is (at least for me, I've only pulled off two trades so far for pokes that I've wanted - although I did manage to give away all the extra shinies I've put up for common pokes pretty quickly), I don't even want to imagine how preposterous people's demands will get if they know they can get up to 6 pokes for their one.
Besides, with the shiny quests, isn't the playing field leveled a bit now? We don't NEED to make a shiny paras worth 6 shiny mankeys... So the trading market doesn't need to get more intricate, it can stay as is (imho).
Lastly: tradition! In the spirit of the original games, trades should be 1 for 1 - or are you trying to say not all pokemon have the potential to be great, given a good trainer and some training?! Ash Ketchum and Professor Oak would not be proud of that ;)
-Re"dirk"ulous
btw the 0.0125 shiny rate is still way too low
ReplyDelete0.05-0.1 would be the best imo
just think bout the new players...they can't catch, can't trade (cuz they getting too expensive...they cant give any "usable"/missing pokemons to the players who's been playing with the "300% shiny" version of the game
@Andrew:
ReplyDeleteYup, you can just create a trade for your pokemon, then go back until you get to the profile change screen, go into the new/desired profile and hit 'call pokemon back to profile' to trade it to the desired profile.
-Re"dirk"ulous
Sam, there is a problem with the Aqua-tail damage,
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work ;D
-Marius
trading center suggestion:
ReplyDeleteplease make check boxes for the pokes if u wanna offer more than 1 pokemon to someone it takes ages to offer everything to him and in Create Trade/ Your Trade Request the same
tell me if you like
Hey Sam, just to check, for the shiny quest, can we use a Shiny Pikachu level 42 for the requirement?
ReplyDelete@victor - yes
ReplyDeletesam,
ReplyDeletecan you not use whirlwind and roar on the same pokemon anymore?
@anon 12:51PM - That is correct, you can only turn a pokemon around once.
ReplyDeletesam,
ReplyDeletethe achievement where you dont use whirlwind still is not working i didnt use whirlwind once but it still wont give my the achievement
hey sam now I realize why it took longer for this update. The level is like a couple levels combined its awesome!
ReplyDelete@anon 1:03PM - Make sure you are playing the challenge mode gym level and not the story mode one.
ReplyDelete@sam
ReplyDeletei am anon 1:03 i am positive that i am doing the challenge mode could it be that i cant even use a Pokemon that knows whirlwind even if i don't use the move? sorry to bother you
@anon 1:10PM - Yes you can't use anybody that even knows the move.
ReplyDeletev3.5.2 is now out on the blog! Save your v3.5.1 and start playing v3.5.2 since I will disable saving in v3.5.1 in about 2 hours.
ReplyDeletev3.5.2 fixes the game saying that you hacked when you complete the shiny quest or get an npc trade, it also fixes the game crashing when fighting the giant onix.
Sam are you still planning on removing all of the shiny bulbasaurs/squirtles like you did with Mew?
ReplyDeletewhy my machoke don't evolve when trade him between my profiles?
ReplyDelete"v3.5.2 is now out on the blog! Save your v3.5.1 and start playing v3.5.2 since I will disable saving in v3.5.1 in about 2 hours."
ReplyDeleteMeaning I can probably scrap my attempt of finding those remaining Pikachu. Great, I was halfway too...it's not THAT big of a deal, I'll manage.
this levelis great...like my shiny voltorb...will evolve it soon!
ReplyDeleteHeriberto> This is the person who gave you the Shiny Nidoking, BTW. Profile name is Daschiamut.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently working on getting a Shiny Farfetch'd (as I got EXTREMELY lucky and got a Shiny Spearow!). I'm pretty sure you could use it, but if not, I'll keep it.
As a note, Machop is EXTREMELY rare.
Once the 6 Pokemon Trading is up, I'll be looking to trade for Golem, Alakazam and Machamp, so if you need any regulars, tell me, especially if you need a regular Golem/Alakazam/Machamp, since I'll be offering Graveler, Kadabra and Machoke.
Hey Sam, got a little question... I don't know if I missed something or whatever, but somehow there are no Pikachu-waves in Viridian Forest 2... Played like 30-35 times now, not even a single pikachu, nothing. (I'm using the blue edition) A friend of mine playing the red edition is getting the waves as they should be. But not a single for me... Is it a bug or did you remove them from the blue editions or am I just very very unlucky? I don't know.
ReplyDelete~Viorghin
sam and dan i am very happy with this and new update but there is a problem......you already putt 3.5.2 in function and i still play 3.4 P.S i cleared my cache and i reset the page but its the same
ReplyDelete-ivan
anyone need machops? Ive got like 20.
ReplyDelete-Guitarman13579
anyone wanna see my trades. got great trades.
ReplyDeletelook up ovais
The new level is amazing and i will do the shiny quest. im taking the lazy way out of training a pikachu and elecctrode and im just trading for them then im gonna go to viridean forest 2 and hunt for pikachu's
ReplyDeleteChase98
Hey I noticed you haven't got Steam Roller yet for Golem, it learns that bug type move rather early, just wanted to saw.
ReplyDelete@viorghin, they don't show up all the time, its really rare and annoying cuz i'm dealing with the same thing :P
ReplyDeleteIs the shiny Machop quest going to be in the next update?
ReplyDeleteViorghin, I had the same problem, though not quite as severe as you. It took my 20 play throughs(600waves) to find my first pikachu wave, and even on that I only got one. I also play on Blue.
ReplyDeleteand now i like my shiny electrode
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Legendary Dogs'rate?
ReplyDeleteDo they have a red bar?
The shiny quest is fixed on 3.5.1 or in 3.5.2?
Amazing game.
The only level I'm finding pikachu is Viridian 1
ReplyDeleteI have a suggestion for the Shiny Quest. When you have unlocked, you should be able to find it in the pokedex, where it describes how you do to get the shiny. And if you don't need to complete everything in one run, it can say how far you've come to get.
ReplyDeleteso i have a question. is team rocket and brock suppose to be at the end of rock tunnel or they arent there and I deal with them later?
ReplyDeleteanyone?
@Viorghin
ReplyDeletemaybe you are really that unlucky...so the solution is try try and try lol
btw...shouldn't earthquake affect your own pokemon? used it to capture pikachu, and my pokemon didn't lose hp
ReplyDeleteCould someone give me some advice on how to beat the Vermillion Gym level. I am having a really hard time with it and with the way the levels are going right now, it would be easier for me to just give up.
ReplyDeleteSam, the wild Pokemon sections on the Rock Tunnel could SERIOUSLY use a ninth place to put your Pokemon: right in the middle of the horizontal section, at the bottom, just like in the Pewter Gym level.
ReplyDeleteI suggest this because of the five wild Pokemon (Voltorb, Onix, Geodude, Machop and Zubat), Jynx and Mr. Mime are Super Effective against four of them (the latter four), while Dugtrio is Super Effective against the first three and Machop is useful against the middle three.
Sam, can you get one voltorb per profile or only one per account?
ReplyDeleteLots of questions!
ReplyDeleteYou can get one shiny voltorb from the quest on each profile.
I'm not removing shiny starters in the same way I removed Mew.
If you have any account issues email me sotero86@gmail.com if you did email me already just hold on tight.
@anon 2:57pm
ReplyDeleteteam rocket and brock are not in the rock tunnel now... they're somewhere else, maybe just escaped before the protagonist reach the exit. maybe we can see them in next new level update?
Bagon:
ReplyDeleteI Got An Idea For Daily Prize, You Would get an email with a password and when you put it in, you get a cube. A 50% Chance For Some Pokedollars, 5% Chance for a Evolution Stone And A 1% Chance For A Rare Candy Which levels up the pokemon. the other 44% Is Nothing. I Hope You Liked the idea!
I put up my level 8 kakuna for trade with someones level 42 gyarados 8D
ReplyDeleteI doubt they'll trade but if they do they are officially awesome :DD!!:D
anywho
I want area of effect attacks! ya heard me
other than poison powder lol
Or maybe chain hit attacks or effects?
Maybe those would be the 'powers' sam was talking about. Is earthquake area effect?
Can you use the trading center with yourself? For example, if I want to evolve machoke to machamp do I have to trade with someone else for a machoke or can I trade with myself to get it to evolve?
ReplyDeleteI CANT GET PAST THE YOU:AHHHHHHH PART IN ROCK CAVE OR WHATEVER!? is that soposed to happen?
ReplyDeletei just beat vermillion gym without using the move whirlwind and i had two candies left but it said that i havent fufilled the requirements for the reward
ReplyDeleteI'm having the same problem as Anon 3:57
ReplyDeleteWill there be a way for us to simply trade between two accounts we own? *uses the trade function solely to get alakazam, golem and machamp*
ReplyDelete2 Bugs (I Think)
ReplyDeleteOnce you cut the tree down to get flash, if you skip the cutscene you do not get flash.
Spark only does normal damage to Zubats. I havent played pokemon since gen 2, but shouldnt electric attacks like Spark be super effectivve against Zubat since its flying?
i have a way to get past gym 3 you use sleeping powder on the geodude then with the new tower attacks thing you set it on candy then you win
ReplyDeleteGreat update Sam, I love the side quest.
ReplyDeleteso, any chance of us seeing an update where the Pokedex remembers Pokemon we've captured, instead of forgetting them when they evolve.. I hate carrying around copies of everything =(
also, Charge beam is the coolest attack ever... Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteHello Sam.
ReplyDeletePlease do the same you did with the mews to the shiny starters. Vi have paid for them. The reason why we bought them(other then suporting you) was to look cool. To have something special. And when every one got a hacked set, there is no reason to have them. I am not even using them, because they are as common as the normal versions
Hey Sam, why cant Machop learn Dynamicpunch VIA TM?
ReplyDelete@Sam. Just wanna throw out an idea.
ReplyDeleteLet's say in the shop, there'd be an item called a "Dog Whistle."
Priced at about 10 million credits, this item, while in your inventory, increases the encounter rate of the dogs to be equal to the encounter rate of shiny pokemon. HOWEVER, once a single legendary dog appears, the whistle is instantly used up and removed from the user's inventory, meaning that if they miss that opportunity, they'd have to save another 10M for the next whistle.
In three weeks of almost nonstop play, I barely have 1M, so by the time someone builds up 10M, odds are that they'd have already found a dog.
I think this is a legitimately applicable shop item for the following reasons 1) with such a high price tag, it would take a LOT of gameplay in order to buy it (equivalent to buying 1000 evolution stones) 2) even if a person does buy it, the odds of encountering a single dog is 1/8000, so it's not like it'd be an instant dog, there's still work to be done to earn it. 3) if a person is looking for a specific dog, then the odds of finding that one dog is 1/24000 (1/8000 times 1/3).
Overall, dogs would still be incredibly rare and hard to find so they won't lose value in the trade economy, such an item gives players hope of finding the dog they want even if the odds are still against them, and it gives a big ticket item for people to save their credits for in the shop, making them choose between setting themselves back 10K to give a pokemon a move/stone and saving that 10K to be that much closer to the whistle.
Should you like this idea and implement it, I'd just advise that you extensively test it to make sure that it does disappear from the inventory when a dog appears on the field. That aside, if you do, pardon the pun, throw us this bone to chew on, I bet it'll make some people pretty happy.
~Sabourin
PS: if you like this idea, there's also the concept of including three more whistles that function the same way, but for a specific dog and with double the price of the normal dog whistle. In my opinion though, just the normal whistle is enough of a dog-finding aid. Also, just out of curiosity, does this sound like a decent idea or did it sound stupid the minute you finished reading it?
Hey sam I love what you did with rock tunnel and I'm hoping for more levels like this. Also if you use dragonbreath or petal dance against gyrados they only do normal damage insted of super effective.
ReplyDeleteHey Sam, sorry for bringing up a very old topic, but I was checking the previous posts for PTD, and I recalled the topic about Classic mode and Advanced. (tower health, attack power, etc.) When will that be implemented?
ReplyDeleteSam,
ReplyDeletefirst, I would like to say that I am Brazilian and still teenager, so I can't speak English very well.
Okay, let's cut to the chase:I suspect that most people must be with a lot of money in the game. So I think it's a good idea to put more ways to spend money beyond the stone of evolution. One of my suggestions is to sell more types of Poké Balls and/or able to buy Pokemon (but I know it's difficult this in game for you).
I would only comment if if it was very necessary that I think this demonstrates that urgent.
But for me it's just a glitch in the game and I imagime how it is difficult to make games then, anyway, congratulations for all the work.
LÃvio
Can we please have a 2 times the speed button?
ReplyDelete-MasterHoyt
Sam I just caught my 10th pikachu. Now can I save the game, close it, and come back later to train my pikachu & electrode to 42? Or do I have to do the quest the same time I finish my 10th pikachu?
ReplyDeleteI really love the "exploring" part in the caves, even though it's kind of moving away from the tower defense genre... it's great fun !
ReplyDeleteI'm experiencing some sort of glitch tonight : I'm playing on route 5 to level my new pokemon from the rock tunnel... and now and then the game freezes and a pop up appears telling me "Achievement Saved! click anywhere to continue" (I've made a screenshot if needed), but when I click the game resumes fine and I can go on with route 5 :)
@Lily 4:20 and Andrew 4:22
ReplyDeleteI was able to trade with my own account. In my case I wanted to evolve machoke so I put him up for trade, then I put up one of the pikachu that I got for the shiny voltorb quest for trade. I requested the trade from myself and accepted. Afterward, I had the machamp as well as all the pikachu I had originally.
Hey, idea, put some rare candies on the poke mart to sell for a high or low price, just like $50000
ReplyDeleteand it level up pokemon level by 1.
well the pikas just dissapeared from VF2.... tried 25 runs and didn´t get a single run of pikas in the red version...
ReplyDeleteSry that I have to say this, but I hate really hate this new targeting system...I tell my Pidgeot to attack the slowest pokemons, but instead of aiming for the Drowzee, it attacks a Diglett!! I had to replay this level and I'm completely failing! I'm so frustrated-.- actually I love this game...
ReplyDelete@sam i love the new level but 2 questions.
ReplyDelete1 even after you beat the level there is no skip buton for the dialogue in the beginning.
2 whenever you go into a pokemon battle (not trainer) the background is always the same even if it is in a corner.
-defective droid
Sam if you catch a pokemon on this site and play on the hacked site does count as hacked?
ReplyDeleteCan someonestrade me a shiny diglett,drowsee, bulbasaur,voltorb,mew,machop,machoke,machamp for one of my lv 42 pokemon? My account name is I need shinies!!!.
ReplyDeleteHey Sam, I was wondering why seed bomb and giga drain do different amounts of damage when they're both grass attacks with power 70. Some other moves are inconsistent as well, such as aqua tail.
ReplyDelete@Andrew: All you have to do is put the pokémon up for trade and then recall it. That should automatically evolve the pokémon. You can also trade between your profiles by putting a pokémon up for trade and then recalling it from another profile.
ReplyDeleteSam can you make new avatars like the one in other generation games
ReplyDeleteI love this game Sam. I'm curious, when do you think you will be creating the multiplayer mode? it seems like it would be hella fun
ReplyDeleteWhy is me at the beginning of the new levels all black? Onix and then come over? What should I do with it, it looks like the picture from?
ReplyDeleteMy Hypno's Synchronise isn't doing any damage? Is it just me or is anyone else having this?
ReplyDeleteCharge Beam is AWESOME! Can you make it a TM?
ReplyDeletejust a small complaint. machoke's sprite is just too damn small. smaller than a raichu.
ReplyDeletehey i just finished the vermillion gym level with 3 candies and without whirlwind and didnt get the achievements is that a glitch or is the achievements disabled?
ReplyDeleteSearch dannyjesusv
ReplyDeleteon the trade for some good trades
and you can trade me dogs for multiple of them
I have an idea to propose regarding hotkeys.
ReplyDeleteNow that our options are becoming more complex and varied (such as due to the addition of the targetting system), I was thinking it would be really useful if you were to implement a Hotkey system now.
Since you're making the update for this week pretty small, I was hoping you could perhaps implement this idea since it should in theory (at least in my mind) be easy.
It would be really simple.
In battle, you could select any of your 6 Pokemon using the numbers 1 to 6.
Once that Pokemon is selected, as usual, the menu comes up to select moves and how you wish to target.
In this menu now, the numbers 1 to 4 could be used to select the desired move.
Then, in order to select the targetting option, we could use the letters from QWERTYUIOP to select the target. So Q being the first option and P (or rather O) being the last option.
Then ENTER could be pressed to select DONE.
Oh and also, SPACEBAR could be used to select Level Up.
I do think this would be a relatively easy system to implement though if I am wrong, do forgive me for my ignorance (since I'm not a developer and have no idea how easy/difficult it would be to implement such an idea.)
Nevertheless, such an idea would be really helpful especially for people like me who are playing on a laptop and using that annoying touchpad. (Yes! I need to get a mouse! :P)
Anyway, hope you like the suggestion.

I've come across a really odd glitch that no one else seems to be having...
ReplyDeletewhen I go to dark cave and turn right, only one of the Pokemon on the field will attack, and only once... am I missing something?
@anon 9:28 The Gyarados uses protect, that could be the problem.
ReplyDeleteSam,
ReplyDeleteI actually prefer to have whirlwind hit pokemon a few times. I know it sounds stupid, but i think it would be helpful to have a "whirlwind button" on the targeting system. You basically can choose how many times whirlwind can hit one pokemon. It goes up to whirlwind x10, and then it goes whirlwind xinfinite. What do ya think.
-pvippy
@anon 9:28
ReplyDeleteyou might be using whirlwind because sam just put in that you can only use whirlwind once every pokemon.
I have a shiny abra and a ton of machops and other rare shinies people have been looking for.
ReplyDelete-Guitarman13579
Guitarman what do you want for your shiny abra.
ReplyDeletenot something big like mew or dogs
Sam,
ReplyDeleteMight I suggest creating a map of the new level? It could be unlocked as the prize to a challenge level. Then, as you discover more of the level, the map gets filled in. Plus, it could indicate where the trainers are. Just a suggestion.
-Roflcopter
do you have shiny drowzee diglett or any other new shinies?
ReplyDeleteWhoever Ovias is I could use some new catchable shiny pokemon for it instead of the achievment rewards or some common pokemon.
ReplyDelete-Guitarman13579
I probably won't get a reply to this (as usual), but as good as the targeting system is, it needs to be improved. You should be able to have multiple target options instead of just one. For one, some should toggle (for instance, fastest and slowest can be toggled between the two, and lowest life and highest life). With this, I can choose lowest life and slowest or lowest life and fastest for my target, etc.... You should also have a box check for ignore shiny.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned before (hopefully you'll be aware of it by now). Machamp isn't currently in the game because self-trading (and my guess even regular trding) doesn't allow Machoke to evolve. Can this be fixed without patching the game (since it seems like a trading system bug instead)?
I also agree with the shortcut/keyboard option that Jamz159 mentioned (along with added arrow key scrolling).
Do the voltorb only appear in one part of the cave? I'm having trouble finding one.
ReplyDeletemachop learns cross chop at level 43
ReplyDeleteSam I'm not sure if you're aware of this but the Shiny Electrode sprite is incorrect. It should be the same shade of Blue as Shiny Voltorb.
ReplyDeleteSource - Serebii.net, there is a part where it is lighter blue to give a lighting effect, but it is the same shade as Voltorb.
Hey Sam,
ReplyDeleteReally like the new level but navigating it can be confusing. I think you should make it so you're standing on the map from where you came from (rather than having the avatar stand in the middle when going back to the entrance, for example). I was pretty confused when I went down and was standing on the left side of the screen in the next square.
abras machops shiny starters shiny gyarados shiny alakazam more dhinies and most of the pokemon in the game.
ReplyDelete-Guitarman13579
WTB False Swipe... DAMN good for nothing pikachus... lol
ReplyDeleteSorry this may be a dumb question but, I was just wondering if there is still an oppurtunity to find the legendary beasts in the wild. (I was on vacaton and just got back in time for this update)
ReplyDeleteThank you, please reply soon anybody really....
I'm going to guess that the achievement saved is my shiny Pidgey warning sign.
ReplyDelete-Bobbisarion
why are my post never showing up?
ReplyDeleteApparently, I found a bug with posting comments, if you click on edit then try to post it, it seems it never goes through.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, there's a bug with perhaps the trading system that Machamp cannot be evolved from Machoke. When is this going to be fixed?
For the targeting system, can you have it so that some options can be used together? Such as highest life & slowest, etc.... Also, can you add a "Shiny" checkbox so that the pokemon doesnt attack shinies?
any chance of adding a way of distinguishing shiny's you have caught from the ones you recieved from a mystery gift/quest at all? maybe giving the mystery gift pokemon a ribbon for exampl
ReplyDeletewhat does the old rod do?
ReplyDeleteGuitarman13579 - im ovais
ReplyDeletehow about if i give you a shiny lvl 41 jynx or shiny lvl 41 farfethed
"Trades will expire after 3 days and nobody has responded (0%)"
ReplyDeleteSam, please don't do this update, what is your reasoning behind this one? Please don't waste your time, this will be bad! I'd rather that they stay indefinite, most of your players are gone for over a week at a time.
Sincerely,
MasterHoyt
Hey Sam,
ReplyDeleteCould you move "Pokedex" button up, and make a "Poke Center" button and remove the inventory and trading buttons. They are kind of repetitive! ;)
-MasterHoyt
Persian,
ReplyDeleteThe old rod makes Magikarp appear in the Cerulean Gym 1 level. You have to place Magikarp out to level him up, he sometimes splashes, and sometimes doesn't. Just be patient. When he learns tackle after several levels, it'll go much faster!
-MasterHoyt
@MasterHoyt - Once you can request what you want in trades once somebody offers what you requested the trade will happen automatically. So there won't be an issue with a person not being around.
ReplyDeleteis it wrong that i hack to level up faster.
ReplyDeleteused cut on route 2 a lot, but no flash shows up in my HMs
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 12:23 - Sam doesn't need more work, don't you want to play. Do you really want "ribbons" on some pokemon. This would make the trade center much more confusing as well. People have already asked about Shadow Pokemon. I don't think that many more pokemon will come from Mystery Gift in the future unfortunately, so you won't have to worry about it. Also there is no way going back and figuring that out. Only now are pokemon being tagged as "hacked".
ReplyDelete-MasterHoyt
@anon 1:15AM - Not really, if you can live with having your pokemon tagged on the trading center and not being able to use them (the ones you leveled up in the hacked version) for the shiny quest.
ReplyDelete@jstkirk - Only certain pokemon can learn flash I have a link of who can learn it on this blog post.
ReplyDeleteI donno about anyone else but the targeting system seems to have made things worse. I'm trying to beat the last Gym, and you need roar/whirlwind to do it, and I swear even if the pokemon with the candy is pixels away from my pokemon, and they're set to "focus candy" it NEVER HITS THE RIGHT POKEMON. I can't even get to wave 5 or anything because it's just letting the pokemon go. I also set one pokemon to "ignore candy" to have it in the same area but so it won't hit the candy pokemon, and it still did. And even setting the targeting to "normal" isn't changing anything at all. In fact I noticed before the tower pokemon would naturally go after candy pokemon, but now it's just totally random and increasingly frustrating :( Please please pleas fix!!!! :(
ReplyDeleteSAM is here! Hey Sam, how have you been? Great update and great plans for this weekend! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm confused by the future of this new trading system, but we'll see. Have you found my missing shiny bellsprout, lol? I think he got stuck in the trade system, poor guy... reminds me of teleporter misfunction on Star Trek.
I'm trying to answer some comments for you...
-MasterHoyt
@Jstkirk - you have to put the pokemon with "cut" next to the tree. Did you see Prof. Oak? Try teaching it to bellsprout, it can learn flash and cut. Pikachu can also learn flash.
ReplyDelete-MasterHoyt
@anon 1:20AM- Whirlwind only turns a pokemon around once now so even if you set focus candy he can't hit the guy with the candy twice and will thus hit somebody else.
ReplyDelete@Guitarman13579
ReplyDeleteits ovais again.
could you look me up in the trade and offer your shiny abra up for some of my pokemon. i have many and am willing to compromise.
also if anyone has the following pokemon look me up at ovais so you can request a trade with me.
WANTED TRADES: shiny diglet/dugtrio, shiny drowsee/hypno, dogs, and shiny mew
@ Ovais - I'm looking for those same Pokmeon! ;)
ReplyDelete-MasterHoyt
Damn you Sam... Damn you for making such an awesome addictive game when I have summer reading to do...
ReplyDeleteSam, how do people have Machamp? When recalling, I don't get it to evolve so how is this possible?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what does Hacked Pokemon in the trade market in the trade center? If it's hacked, why would it be allowed there?
@anon 3:41 AM August 19
ReplyDelete"San q"! I've stuck with One Piece from the beginning and won't stop watching/reading til the end! Besides, that song is sheer brilliance when sung by Mrs. Tanaka.
omg discharge! and then of course machamp! that was the greatest update yet!
ReplyDeleteSam,
ReplyDeleteCan you please make it so that we can turn the Old Rod "off"? I'm sick of Magikarp ;) <-- joke
But seriously, can we turn it off? And can we switch to other rods (as we get them) or shut them off? It'd be cool to have them all listed as options and that they become non-grey as we win them :)
-MasterHoyt

Also, regarding your previous post
"Once you can request what you want in trades once somebody offers what you requested the trade will happen automatically."
Can there be a level limit implemented as well, or perhaps a setting to decide whether or not the trade is automatic? Say you want a specific pokemon but under level 41 or 42 so you have the chance to decide which moveset the pokemon has and also have the chance to evolve the pokemon. For example, squirtle learns hydro pump at level 40. I would want to be traded a squirtle level 40 or less because then I'd be able to evolve it to wartortle and then to blastoise after learning hydro pump, but I wouldn't be able to do that with a level 41 or 42 squirtle.
@sam
ReplyDeleteplease improve the trading center so its easier to add or remove(in trade request, trade offering etc.)
more than 1 pokemon.
it takes ages if u wanna trade/offer more pokemon
so i beg u to improve this
I just finished the vermillion gym without using whirlwind and with more than 1 rare candy left, yet when I checked still no achievement? Is this still bugged or did I miss something??
ReplyDelete@ Sam: Can you please do the Picture and Words (The pokemon environments, etc) for the Pokedex plz
