Hey everyone! I hope all is well for you. Things are running right along here at Sam and Dan Games, and I'm here to bring you the goodies for this week. So let's get started!

Mystery Gift
This being the last week of October it would be a shame not to have a Ghost pokemon be the mystery gift so I put up a bunch of different Ghost to pick from. Let's the best one win! Golett is the winner!

Day Of the Week Events
In some Pokemon games you will get trainer battles, contest or some events that only happen during a certain day of the week. This feature is coming to PTD2 and CUTD. The first of such events will be a Spooky one that will only happen a certain day of the week and only at night! Look forward to it and the reward that it will bring.

New Route 31
I'm also adding a new Route that will come with a few new Pokemon to capture.

Pokedex!
Finally we will get the Pokedex! The Pokedex will keep track of what you have caught, now that we have evolution I need to add the Pokedex that will more accurately keep track of what you have instead of giving you credit for things just because you have the evolution.

Level cap to 100! (Sorta)
This one is sort of a bold move, but with the Effective Level mechanic this can work. So you might ask what about moves and evolutions? Well this is where the sorta part of it works out. Getting all the moves done quickly is out of the questions so what will happen is that you will level up but you won't learn any new moves passed the soft level cap (12). Evolutions on the other hand are pretty easy to put in so you will be able to Evolve! I think it's a good trade off. Instead of playing a lot and not gaining exp you will be able to keep leveling up your creature while you try to get the Daily Challenge or just shiny hunting. With the Effective Level mechanic levels will still provide some challenge without me having to make them extremely hard for anybody who doesn't level up or is just starting to play.

Daily Challenge and Other things..
You can read last week's blog post to find out more about Daily Challenges. I will also be working on these to get them out as soon as I can.

Okay so now that we talked about what I'm working on, let's look at the weekly progress list.

Meteor Crisis in Creature Universe!
I always like to end the blog post with a little bit of Creature Universe. A few weeks ago I had a meeting with the crew and we came up with this idea, and this week we developed it some more. When you start playing Creature Universe a big event will happen that will shake the planet and affect everybody that lives there. A great Meteor has crashed into the planet, but didn't destroy it!!! Everybody is overjoyed that they are still alive but in a few days strange events start happening all throughout the world. The grass starter island called "Pillar Island" is now swarming with bugs! Will you help in this hour of need? Check out one of the bugs that you will face on Pillar Island.
Work In Progress Toxic Creature
I hope you guys enjoyed that little preview and that you keep coming back every day to check out my progress on the update. As Always let me know what you think!

Comments

  1. Love the ghost poll! Go Shedinja!!!!


    Still not sure what I think about upping the level cap, but considering it gets exponentially harder to keep leveling, and you do have the soft cap, I think it will work out. I love how awesome you are at finding new and better ways to do things. Also good to see the list addressing the glitches.


    And the bug looks awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Looks like a really exciting week!! Can hardly wait. If you ever get around to it, could you add hotkeys for the zoom and speed buttons (maybe 7,8,9,0) since 1-6 is already used

    Go shuppet

    ReplyDelete
  3. Golett rocks! He will crush the compentition! But Shuppett and Drifloon would be nice, too. Sam, could you give me a tl;dr for the level cap 100! (sorta) part? I didn't want to read so long. Sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  4. We should have something that let's us customize our own avatars, I also want a second chance at getting the ones that have already passed like the geodude hat, its not that I wasn't here to get it, I just had to restart my account because of some glitch.

    I like the idea of weekly events, but I don't like the idea of being able to reach lvl 100 so early in the game. I know its gonna be hard to get that high but having evolved pokemon can make some of the levels easier since evolved pokemon have better base stats.

    Also, as more maps come out can you add a running shoes feature where we can move around the map faster?

    Thanks for listening to my suggestions :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. I can see that PTD2 and CUTD are growing up very fast. I like the idea of meteor in CUTD and the pokedex in PTD2 (finally :D). Such a nice update on my 16th birthday. ;]

    ReplyDelete
  6. Happy Birthday! Glad you are enjoy what we are making :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. Sure. You get to level up to 100 with all the evolutions but you don't get new moves past the soft level cap (12) so if your guy learns move at 13 or higher he won't be able to learn them until I add them in.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I do spend a lot of time thinking about the company and everything we do, I'm glad that it shows :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Where can you find shadow ledyba and shadow spinarak

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'm not 100% sure but I think that it's the same mechanic of the shiny but only during the night.

      Probably if you find a shiny during the night he will actually be shadow instead of shiny, the probability is likely the same although I don't remember sam talking about this.

      Delete
  10. Oh my gosh! Level 100!!! Does this mean my starter (Cyndaquil) can become a Typhlosion and my other Pokemon can get to their final stage? When will this update come out?????

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hey Sam,

    First: i would like to say good luck on the game


    Second: happy halloween

    ReplyDelete
  12. Probably this weekend. ;]

    ReplyDelete
  13. Static paralyzes yourself rather than the opponent... Just thought I would let you know that it is broken.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hey Sam,
    I really like everything you are doing! Super excited for the raised level cap and pokedex. I am very curious how you are going to do the time machine, trading between ptd 1 and 2. As you would have to add a lot of pokemon to the game to do so, and work out how all the evolutions work and everything. Or i guess you wouldn't have to worry about that right away. You could just not allow pokemon to evolve in 2nd gen ways right away. I'm not sure how much work all of that is, but when do you have any idea when we could expect all of that, or how you are going to go about it?

    ReplyDelete
  15. really? can you recreate this?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'll probably only allow certain pokemon to be traded over, and then keep increasing that list over time.

    ReplyDelete
  17. im getting so impatient i wish daily challenges could come out this week

    ReplyDelete
  18. i hope you don't give the story of the creature universe away too much, just little snippets will be fine

    ReplyDelete
  19. happy halloween everybody

    ReplyDelete
  20. i love what i see in here!
    i voted for shuppet, as he's just perfect for Halloween but hey i'm ok with Gollett and his double type ^^
    not exactly sure if i like lvl 100 right now, i mean i loved the way you did it in PTD1, everyone leveling up at the same time. But in the meantime, having final evolutions is a very good point... But you'll have to find a way to get Lucario and the happiness thing.
    I'd like to tell you again about the Casino Coins. Have you seen my last message, including a way to trade them to get Daily Coins (if we can't have Gen 2 shadow pokemon)?

    ReplyDelete
  21. The update looks good. Keep it up Sam :D

    ReplyDelete
  22. wtf lvl 100, wow this is nice ;) but did i understand right, that you put in the evolution, but not the moves? nevermind later we can relearn the moves and i want to evolve my pokes ;D oh and after you done this when will we be able to trade our ptd1 pokes to ptd2?

    please look that you manage following point --> Saving Pokemon's party and storage position (0%)
    its annoying that your team and storage doesnt save -_-

    last is about the ptd1 gamecorner. do you think you can add new prizes to it. i mean i have every shadow, every shiny, every avatar in the game. its only an idea, but maybe you can add snd coins as a prize in exchange for a very high number of casino coins. like i said its only an idea, but i would really like new prizes for gamecorner.

    great work sam, keep it up ;)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yes, I just recreated it to make sure. When Onix used bind on my Pikachu, Pikachu became paralyzed instead of Onix. Also, idk if it was coincidence or a bug, but all 6 of my Pokemon were males.
    The static bug first happened to me against Bulbasaur a while ago and keeps happening on Onix, so it is pretty consistent.

    ReplyDelete
  24. i have some ideas for next weeks mystery gift

    1.numel

    2.mantyke

    3.bagon

    4.starly

    5.larvesta



    these are all pokemon from hoenn sinnoh and unova
    Also i listed 5 ideas so it could be a 5 way pokemon poll or so you could pick 4 pokemon out of here if you want to

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yes. It happens every time static would normally activate from what I am seeing. I only play the last two levels so that would be against Onix and Bulbasaur. Neither have a way to paralyze Pikachu and Pikachu never paralyzes them.

    ReplyDelete
  26. What is Creature Universe i have seen it on the blog but idk what it is or where to play it

    ReplyDelete
  27. i think lvl 100 is a good idea. our pokemon can gain experience when we do shiny hunting or something else. so if you did not find a shiny your time is not totally wasted ;).if i get it right, the level cap still exist. so even you have a lvl 100 yet and use it now, it is like you using a level 10 poke. so the levels wont be too easy. but you are right we need the happines for some evolutions!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. The Toxic Bug is pretty ugly....... I LOVE it!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. It is a game that will be played like ptd2, but it isn't out yet so you can't play it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. yeah I'm only giving out like the very beginning, there is a bunch that we won't talk about

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hey Sam, this update looks amazing!
    Just a couple things:
    Could we get running shoes at some point in this game? I feel like I'm walking as fast as a slowpoke.

    Second, is the guy who gives you a demo of how to catch Pokemon in the games going to do it in PTD2?
    Hope Drifloon wins the poll, and the story for Creature Universe sounds interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  32. oh thank god, at least we have a surprise for the story of that

    ReplyDelete
  33. Sam, Shedninja is a 1st stage Pokemon. Wouldn't it be better to change that to Nincada or a Basic Ghost Type Pokemon?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Booo Golett is going to win

    ReplyDelete
  35. aquablast is a little right,sam.But,according to database that shedinja comes with ninjask if nincada is lvl 20 and in a certain spot and I still don't know if shedinja is a basic or a stage 1 pokemon.

    ReplyDelete
  36. yay! Golett's evolution is so awesome

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thanks, bro, so if a Pokemon, (say: Golett) evolves at lvl 43, then he can evolve, but the, he won't learn new moves untill you add them? Sweet! Maybe have the new moves learnable by releaner?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yeah, Golett is awesome, ground-ghost type, two of mai favrit things! Golurk is neat too, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Just asking... why is Drifllon least voted for? He's not my favorite, but he's much better than Shedinja, A STAGE 1! I only want Yamsk so I can have Cofagrius.

    ReplyDelete
  40. 8 new pokemon??
    i mean, on route 31 the only new pokemon i can see is Bellsprout
    unless... we can use headbutt and find Spearow, Aipom, Heracross, Exeggcute and Pineco

    still, that's only 6.
    Any clue Sam??

    ReplyDelete
  41. could be extra pokemon from using the pokegear when you get pokemon from hoenn or sinnoh

    ReplyDelete
  42. In relation to the 100 lv cap, If I get a pokemon levels up to lv 50 for example, what happens to the moves that are later added? Can you re-learn them? Are the added to the pokemon when you add them to the list?

    ReplyDelete
  43. There is a relearn feature in the game already, so yes, it is safe to assume that we'll be able to relearn any moves we miss by leveling early.

    ReplyDelete
  44. You're forgetting whoever the mystery gift is! Also, I counted 19 evolutions needed for the current pokemon in the game. So we know that those 8 extra pokemon have 12 evolutions in total (not counting the base pokemon). Those 6 pokemon only have 5 evolutions, so we're a bit low. Maybe we'll get a fishing rod?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hey, Shedinja is awesome. He has his niche and can be a very fun pokemon to play with, especially given wonder guard.

    ReplyDelete
  46. What's wrong with having a final form mystery gift? Nincada wouldn't fit the ghost theme, and I'm sure we'll get a chance to get nincada later. After all, the point of mystery gift is to just provide something fun. All the other pokemon will be able to reach final form evolutions as well, given the new level cap, so it's not really a choice between having one pokemon evolved and another pokemon not evolved.

    ReplyDelete
  47. But what about a Pokémon like Torchic? It learns Flamethrower by level, but Combusken and Blaziken don't. Obviously this is just an example, but their are others like that out there. Do you have a plan for them, or do we just need to not level them up?

    ReplyDelete
  48. What about Pokémon like Torchic? Torchic learns flamethrower naturally, but Combusken and Blaziken don't. So do we just need to not level Pokémon like that up?

    ReplyDelete
  49. thats right. Stinks for pokes that need a move to evolve like yanma or tangela.

    ReplyDelete
  50. NO, YOU GUYS, NOT GOLETT, SHEDINJA! It's immune to SO MANY types.

    Anyways, yay, spooky mystery gift.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Happy Halloween Sam!

    Happy Halloween everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I wanted yanmask.. oh well, golett isn't bad either.

    ReplyDelete
  53. sam,I have a few questions(these questions are only for sam to answer).

    1.what are the new pokemon in route 31?

    2.when will all the houses be unlocked?

    3.will there be a new story level in route 31?

    4.will route 46 be released?If yes,when?

    ReplyDelete
  54. can you please put the ptd2 wiki in your links page? here is the link http://pokemontowerdefensetwo.wikia.com/wiki/Pokemon_Tower_Defense_Two_Wiki

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hey Sam, I was just hoping you be able to do something with the party pokemon at some point please. Each time i leave and go back to the game, regardless of saving the 6 in my party never stay that way. Please and thank you. Keep up the great work!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think that this has become more important with the addition of more pokemon.

    ReplyDelete
  57. being ignored on my CUTD comments so guess there's no point making more...

    ReplyDelete
  58. Dang, this is a HUGE update!!! Seriously, 39 more Pokemon!!! Well, take your time, Sam. We love you!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. awh :( i wants shedninja he use be my fav D: idfk even who hell this Golette pokemon is e.o we need to strt using the older genrations of pokemon not all these current/new genration pokes

    ReplyDelete
  60. if there any word of an apk download anytime soon? i would really like to play on my phone/tablet soon.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Woohoo Golurk!


    That is all.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I only just started following along and contributing on this newfangled Disqus thing so I don't recall seeing any posts from you. What's up?


    Like we wouldn't take the God of Critters' feedback seriously!

    ReplyDelete
  63. hey everyone,vote for shedinja because lots of other types have no effect against it.I'm serious,if you don't believe me check out this link (http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/shedinja).

    ReplyDelete
  64. sam,I've got a bug that when chikorita reaches level 10,it's not earning any XP.

    ReplyDelete
  65. So Sam when are u ever gonna make enter trigger a lot of the menu buttons

    ReplyDelete
  66. Also,

    HAPPY DAMN HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Nice oxymoron. As fast as a Slowpoke.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Hey Sam, I've got an idea.

    Maybe you could make it so that Pokemon's graphics are life-sized in the player's prospective. This makes the grapics a good deal more fun, though I have to say, it will make Wailord a lot harder for you to program.

    Also, I've noticed a minor bug. In wild swarm battles, Wave one has nothing and Wave 30 has two Pokemon.

    And please program releasing this update. I really want to get rid of my 85 Rattata and Sentret without abandoning them.

    Speaking of Rattata and Sentret, would you mind programming a Thief TM? It makes Item gathering a lot easier, and it also reduces data uses by a lot.

    Thanks, and Happy Halloween!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Not an oxymoron, a simile, which makes perfect sense and is not contradictory.

    ReplyDelete
  70. when sam finishes all levels in story mode.

    ReplyDelete
  71. maybe zubat,onix,geodude,wooper and Sandshrew they can be found in union cave.

    ReplyDelete
  72. *dark cave

    and on route gastly,bellsprout,zubat,poliwag

    ReplyDelete
  73. Hello, this is DarkRy on PTD. I saw that you were fixing the bug with shinies not staying shiny when you've evolved them and only saved afterwards. I was incredibly glad, as I lost the only shiny I've actually caught for myself, namely a Butterfree. So, I was wondering if you'd re-grant it shiny status.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I have pics of it, both being caught a shiny caterpie and as a butterfree, if you doubt my word. Here are the links:

    ReplyDelete
  75. Maybe you didn't see but Sam has counted the evolutions seperately.

    ReplyDelete
  76. LEVEL 100 HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Wait... Tangela needs a move to evolve? z:0

    ReplyDelete
  78. It just doesn't fit right having a final form mystery gift this early in the game.

    ReplyDelete
  79. yes but i would rather have a nincada evolve into that and ninjask, but thats just me and i like golurk

    ReplyDelete
  80. yeah but all it takes is one attack to make it faint

    ReplyDelete
  81. I've got an idea, click enter on the keyboard when walking around on a map and the menu shows up containing save button, back button, pokedex button and all the other things you want to add

    ReplyDelete
  82. yeah i want creature universe and yeah i want updates to ptd2 :)

    ReplyDelete
  83. Great cant wait for anpo and more ptd but il bite I haveint be on the site in two weeks what is cutd??? I like the soft cap idea its genius but one question I have a shadow raikou ( the thunder dog not sure I spelled it right ) from ptd1 but its gen 2 when can I trade it to ptd 2 from your anonymous fan from level 1

    ReplyDelete
  84. Will be able to walk faster or run in ptd2 soon

    ReplyDelete
  85. Happy halloween Sam im not to sure but is Sam and Dan games like 3and a half now congrats

    ReplyDelete
  86. U can introduce snake as a species since all types of snakes can b made. They can have a basic snake like eevee except that it evolves into various types according 2 the region it is found & has 3 stages of evolution. It can have a move 'Fang' while its evo can have 'Aqua Fang', 'Toxic Fang' etc. The Mythical snake can b found in snake island were all other types can be found 2. Will dual type moves exist, dragon b a species? Happy 2 c u working in the morning, usually find u working in the afternoon, looking forward 2 c the new pokemon behaviors & what will the toxic creature evolve into ;-).

    ReplyDelete
  87. hay what about the poeple that had a shiny caterpi and then lost it return our pokemon its not good enouf that u fix the bug

    ReplyDelete
  88. if i dont get it back iam rage qitting

    ReplyDelete
  89. WOW! Amazing update! Finally my Totodile will evolve!

    ReplyDelete
  90. when will they learn new moves then???!!!??

    ReplyDelete
  91. so many people are saying shedinja, but wonderguard doesn't effect a td too much plus last i checked when you fight your rival if you pick chikorita will be the only time it can be hurt, plus zapdos will have no effect which will make that level to simple to fast. he would be so o.p that Sam even mentioning him was be a BAD IDEA. i voted golett soley because he was the only option to beat shedinja and i don't believe he is good for the game just yet.

    ReplyDelete
  92. to be honest, i just go for the first option all the time

    ReplyDelete
  93. Is Lucario going to be in the new evolutions?

    ReplyDelete
  94. The only problem with this is unfortunately that Sam would have no way of verifying who actually did have the shiny bugs. As a result, he would either have to give one to everyone who asked (then lying would be rewarded), or he would have to give a shiny bug to everyone. Which isn't bad, but then shiny butterfree and beedrill would be no longer special, just cool looking. This is one of those hazards of playing a game in alpha, unfortunately.

    ReplyDelete
  95. That is going to take an amazing amount of grinding.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Maybe you didn't read my post, but that is exactly what I was using. Sam said 31 evolutions and 8 pokemon, so I counted 19 evolutions needed for the current pokemon meaning 12 (31 - 19 = 12) evolutions for the new pokemon. So that gives us information about the 8 new pokemon.

    ReplyDelete
  97. So? As I said, he has his niche. Niche means that a particular job/activity for which he is well suited. Obviously pokemon who can hit him with super effective or passive damage can kill him, but for pokemon who can't he is the perfect counter. My above statement still stands completely uncorrected.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Let's be real. Shedinja's stats are not on par with what most people mean when they say "final form." We'll probably just have to agree to disagree though.

    ReplyDelete
  99. that happend to my pidgey except i forgot to save :( but luckily i found another one, and accidentally killed the 3rd :/

    ReplyDelete
  100. Sam just now i can't get to avatar chat

    ReplyDelete
  101. Hey Sam how can we get this Champion Avatar? http://www.snd-storage.com/trading_center/avatar/b_0.png
    I saw trainer named Darkrai98 having it.

    And when will shiny Riolu added to the adoption centre? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  102. You do got a valid point though.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Instead of this you can catch another one... It's not so hard to catch. I would even say, that it's better to catch it on your own, than waiting for Sam to give it to you, because you said that...

    ReplyDelete
  104. Every wave has its delay thats why you are thinking that the first one have nothing and the last one have two pokemons. ;]

    ReplyDelete
  105. I don't know why but the most times 5th generation pokemon are winning the poll. The only exception was Riolu. We should make the poll with the pokemon from 3rd or 4th generation only.

    ReplyDelete
  106. this avatar is a special avatar of sam. you cant get him unless you hack it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  107. Couldn't you just wait in peace for the next update like everyone, not involving maths? xd

    ReplyDelete
  108. Figures golett would win by a landslide.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Either way, its pretty funny.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Happy belated birthday!!:)

    ReplyDelete
  111. ....................BOO!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  112. -_- I have all shiny,reg,some shadows,and all avatars

  113. Yeah, but a single move that hits will always kill it. In a TD game, that's gonna be a huge problem.

  114. I saw shadow Zoruas at the trade center. How do i get them? are they hidden in the wild somewhere? or was it mystery gift?

    ReplyDelete
  115. tangela does not get a new evolve form until gen. 4 so it doesn't really matter in this case

    ReplyDelete
  116. sam i believe in you
    good luck on making lots of progress this week

  117. I'm more than willing to wait, but it's also fun to speculate :P I'm also a math major, but don't worry, I won't be bringing out too much math on the comments ;-)

  118. I like this idea... Snake Eevees could be pretty awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  119. sam,is there a new story mode in route 31?

    ReplyDelete
  120. Sam, which of the mystery gift pokemon do you personally think would be the most useful? The biggest debate right now is Golett or Shedinja, and Shedinja has better Ghost moves and Wonder Guard while Golett has Fighting moves, so which one do you think is the most useful?

    ReplyDelete
  121. XD All Meh Pokemon Will evole :P

    ReplyDelete
  122. Same Here well the Yamask part

    ReplyDelete
  123. So you're going to program happiness?

    ReplyDelete
  124. But Sam said that he based his two games off BW1, so Tangela WILL evolve.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Hey Sam, I have an idea.

    I like the Level 100 cap + Effective level combo, but with weak Pokemon to kill, it will be painful to train high-leveled Pokemon. Could you program a feature where you could make a training level have infinite waves? It slightly increases efficiency and reduces boredom (You can simply leave the game on and the Auto-leveling feature will do its job). Please, it will make training a lot less painful.

    Happy Halloween!

  126. Not that you are wrong or anything, but he is getting information from their, but why do you think tangela, lickitung, onix, eevee (other evolutions), gloom (other evolution), poliwhirl (other evolution), golbat, seadra, and many others weren't able to evolve to their next evolutions. I hope you understand that the Pokemon are made to fit htat generation, but according to the BW1. I would of had tangala's evolution already if this was true and just about the rest I listed. (No hard feelings, but this is how the game will go according to how ptd1 was made)

    ReplyDelete
  127. But it would make the game too easy to get whatever moves you want. Also, I could set Pokemon to get to level 100, go to sleep and wake up in the morning with level 100 Pokemon. Doesn't that kill the entire training experience to no training experience at all. It would be better to have it long and boring (even through I also hate boring). We will just have to wait for later levels that give off more xp. So it is good to keep it how it is now (it will be especially good when the game is done.) Sorry to disagree with you twice in a row, but this is the way I see things.

  128. ooh so that's what it meant but still how do u get it?

    ReplyDelete
  129. i love the spooky event idea it sounds very cool

    ReplyDelete
  130. I believe that Kevin is actually on the CUTD team, so as someone working on the project who Sam knows he has Mod status. Basically, Sam has to make you one, and as of yet he has expressed no interest in making fans Mods.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Howme is exactly right. Yes it is a little boring to level, but there is the excitement of shiny hunting and hunting for the daily challenges. Moreover, if you level at a reasonable rate to merely keep up with the soft cap, it should be fairly easy and not require tons of training. Thus it's only boring if you choose to invest that much time.


    Besides, games should always have some cost for each reward. Leveling over night to 100 is like cheating, it takes the fun out of actually raising your pokemon and growing with them through the journey. That might sound a little cheesy, but I don't mean relationally, I mean your strategy will grow as your familiarity with what works and what doesn't work grows through the various challenges that Sam gives us.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Most useful? At this point in the game anything would be good enough to beat the current levels :)

    ReplyDelete
  133. Thanks! I need to pick it up.

    ReplyDelete
  134. how come nobody is posting anything here?

    ReplyDelete
  135. sam,are you going to add all stones and all items from pokemon to ptd 2?

    ReplyDelete
  136. when you add the pokedex will it count every Pokemon we have evolved as well or will we have to re catch them

    ReplyDelete
  137. WTF? Why are you chosing Golett over Drifloon? Every time I battle Gollet in B/W I K.O. in 1 hit!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  138. All my Party pokemon except for Riolu

  139. some day, Poke Transfer will be made

    ReplyDelete
  140. Good luck on the game? or Happy Halloween? You didn't specify.

    ReplyDelete
  141. It would be really cool if You could join Team Rocket and help with evil in Pokemon Tower Defense 2. Its a great game and sounds even cooler with the level cap increased to 100. On Route 30 and 31 It would be really cool if there were trainers you can repeat battle. Filling out the Pokedex will be very fun. Creatures Universe is sounding really cool. Best of Luck.

    ReplyDelete
  142. sam were is Creature Universe td i cant find it send the link

    ReplyDelete
  143. Hmm.... Should I raise my pokemon to level 100, or just wait for the moves?

    ReplyDelete
  144. Idk, but I think I'm leveling up my Pokes to level 100, and when moves happen, I will just relearn moves with the relearn button.

    ReplyDelete
  145. oh, sorry
    (exactly what did you mean?)

    ReplyDelete
  146. Dragon Eevees would be more awesome but dragon as a species would be 2 strong & may b just mythical, Sam never replied whether dragon will be a type or species.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Sam please make it so ppl can make anonymous or guest comments again

    ReplyDelete
  148. Okay, so you follow that there are 12 evolutions for the new pokemon, right? Sam actually updated his list and separated the 31 evolutions into 19 needed for current pokemon and 12 needed for the new pokemon, verifying my claim. Sam also recently changed the list from 8 new pokemon to 5 new pokemon (probably was a typo before?), so this means that the new pokemon have a total of 12 evolutions, and this tells us something about them. As an example, the way we're counting evolutions, bellsprout has 2 evolutions (we don't count bellsprout as its own evolution because it is counted in the new pokemon section).


    Now the fact that there are 5 new pokemon confuses me, because this means that on average each of the pokemon added has 12/5 = 2.4 evolutions, so at least one pokemon has more than 2 evolutions. Poliwag is one such pokemon. Of course, if we somehow got an eevee that would explain a lot.


    So basically I'm using information about new pokemon and the number of their evolutions to see if we can figure anything else out about the upcoming update. As I said, the change from 8 to 5 new pokemon has really confused me, so I'm stuck with a couple wild guesses. Other guesses that would help make the data make sense include ralts (three evolutions), wurmple (4 evolutions), and oddish (3 evolutions). Of course there's always tyrogue, but somehow I doubt that we'll be finding him soon.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Sam said that he's adding Lucario :)

    ReplyDelete
  150. I know, right? Drifloon is better choice than Golett, but as always the pokemon that looks better is winning...

    ReplyDelete
  151. Just be sure you don't burn yourself out on leveling. Every level takes exponentially more experience than the last level, so it will take a ton of time. To give you an idea, if you could defeat pidgeys for an average of 24 exp per pidgey, and using the experience from the gameboy games (since I am guessing Sam uses roughly the same formula), that will take 41,667 pidgeys from level 1, which is 1,389 waves of pidgeys. That's a lot, and roughly the time it would take to find and catch 5 shiny pidgeys. This is for just one pokemon.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I'm confused much more now. xd
    But I understand what you've got in mind. :P
    There are many possibilities and we can guess what pokemon would be implemented, but it's not so easy. ;]

    ReplyDelete
  153. ...So I can't get much far in the game so while im waiting...

    ReplyDelete
  154. So there are 8 new pokemon. I know that bellsprout has to be one of them, here are my guesses for possibilities on the others. In crystal version, you could find poliwag, zubat, and ghastly in tall grass, so probably those also. For the other 4, it depends on if they are found in dark cave on route 31 or by using headbutt on trees. If dark cave, then there can be geodude, dunsparce, and teddiursa. If headbutt, then spearow, aipom, heracross, exeggcute, and pineco. Could I get a hint?

    ReplyDelete
  155. It makes sense to go ahead and raise pokemon during waves while shiny hunting, but it will take a ridiculous amount of time to raise any of the pokemon to even 50 this early in the game, let alone 100.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Here's a hint, the 5 new pokemon have 12 evolutions (not including the original forms). Poliwag has 3, zubat has 2, ghastly has 2. If we add oddish (who has 3) and bellsprout (who has 2), then we get 12 evolutions. So that seems like a reasonable guess.

    ReplyDelete
  157. I certainly hope so! I get the feeling that this is going to be a big update. So excited.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Remember when you released that post about the ANPO starters? I remember you said that you had over one hundred ideas then. You guys must have hundreds by now. Do you think it's possible to post some more sketches? I'm willing to bet I'm not the only person who wants to see some :)

    ReplyDelete
  159. Since I couldn't vote, I'd choose Shedninja because of its lucky little 1 hp and its ability makes it great! But at the time being, it would be invincible except to a lvl 8 rattata

    ReplyDelete
  160. Also Sam, I think many people would agree if you make an update once you create the evolutions that way we won't have to wait too long if that's possible. :]P

    ReplyDelete
  161. I agree with the Shedninja part. I'm 10 and I've played at least two games from every gen. EXCEPT 5 Gen 1, Blue+Yellow, Gen 2, Silver+Heartgold/Soul Silver (Without any un-gen 2/1 pokes) Gen 3, Emerald+Ruby+Saphire, Gen 4, Pearl+Diamond+Platinum, Gen 5, White+____

    ReplyDelete
  162. You can't vote when the poll is closed...

    ReplyDelete
  163. I think I may know why. Many people (myself included) don't really know the newer generations of Pokemon for various of reasons and so we can only judge them by their looks and stat information that we look up. I know generations 1-3 and I really thought that shedinja might be the best choice, but then I thought that if I chose a generation 4 or 5 pokemon it will be more rare if ptd3 were to come out because people would be able to catch a shedinja then. So I would have a rarer Pokemon for better trades in the Pokemon center.

    ReplyDelete
  164. so for the lvl100 cap does that mean that they arent going to learn any moves that havent been implemented into the game??

    ReplyDelete
  165. It's probably the reason. But I don't think that Sam would make PTD3, because he said many times that PTD2 will be the last version and have all pokemons in there. Thats why it's named Generations, not Johto's Shadows.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Just a suggestion, could you make it so you can see what time it is and how much xp your pokemon have without battling wild pokemon? Thx.

    ReplyDelete
  167. that is a gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood idea

    ReplyDelete
  168. nooo i wont do that

    ReplyDelete
  169. that is a wise decition to bad other poeple didnt know that

    ReplyDelete
  170. I agree, shedinja totally should have won! With it's ability, it is unstopible! Not only that, Golett is hideous. SHEESH! Some people!!!!! X(

    ReplyDelete
  171. I know, right? It isn't fair !!!!!!!!!!! >:(

    ReplyDelete
  172. ...and you aren't pirate...

    ReplyDelete
  173. Better have one big update, than few small ones. ;]

    ReplyDelete
  174. I know! Read the first 4 words! :D->:P

    ReplyDelete
  175. Yea... Oh well! Maybe some other mystery gift. Also I wonder how Nincada's evolution will work

    ReplyDelete
  176. probably the same as the game, if it evolves with a space in your 6 spots, then you will have a ninjask and a shedinja

    ReplyDelete
  177. honestly the only reason the gen 5's are typically winning is cause most of the player of this game are in the younger age groupe for 6-12yrs given a few exceptions of thoese who have taken the time to ethier watch or play the older pokemon realted game/tv series (i my self am 18 XD so i knw em all pretty much from gen 1-4) since they are in that younger age group most if not all the Pokemon they know are pretty much realted to the the 4th and 5th gens

    ReplyDelete
  178. Sam, what will you do with raticate and noctowl?
    They can re-learn swords dance and sky attack.

    ReplyDelete
  179. look at the abilities gastly,bellsprout, and teddiursa seem likely guesses
