Gym Challenge Heats up! VS Blaine enters the battle!
Late last week I got some great ideas for how I would do the Blaine battle for the Gym Challenge. I've been watching a lot of World of Warcraft on Twitch (while I work), especially guilds trying to beat Mythic Blackrock Foundry (the latest raid dungeon in World of Warcraft). So I think this battle is very influenced by different MMO bosses that I've seen lately. I hope you guys will enjoy! I'll try to make it pretty challenging without making it feel unfair. That is the ultimate goal for game development. I've also added a new poll so that you can vote on what reward you will want for the gym.
Blaine - Cinnabar Gym Leader

Auction House Progress
The Auction House is still in progress, it is slow and steady but things are coming together, I didn't think it would be fair for you guys that I spent another whole week just on it so I'm also doing the gym challenge for PTD2. I'm very excited for the auction house, it won't be super pretty at first but it will be functional.
Work in progress

    ReplyDelete
  3. hey thanks for the kind words but I can't take the credit

    ReplyDelete
  4. why? But in game missing more megas for example...

    ReplyDelete
  5. not sure if I will do more gyms after gen 1

    ReplyDelete
  6. Everyone wants the charizardite x so they can be like RED in the Pokemon Origins. And you all know it is true guys.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  8. other ways to add megas in game :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Will your next HOF reward be heatran, Xerneas and yvental but just like raquaza, the shinies will be received thround adoption or funding?

    ReplyDelete
  10. but is found obtain megas for gym challenges...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Come on Blaziken you can do this! He has speed boost, could learn good moves like bulk up, and is the original uber starter. Do not fail me, Blaziken ;_;

    ReplyDelete
  12. Please Sam, lower the encounter rate for the legendary dogs. They are too common for the legendaries. I suggest the rate similar to shadows/shinies or slightly better.

    ReplyDelete
  13. The most weirdest thing. my breed two shines and egg hatch today. I go two shines have a Shadow son. A SHADOW POKEMON.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hey Sam how are you suppose to win the trainer pass holder giveaway for the 100SnD coins?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I want rayquaza or zygarde or yveltal or kyurem but I can only trade 1 mewtwo lvl100 and other lvl 1 hooh and lugia, I have some hacked Mewtwo and mew though

    ReplyDelete
  16. I hope you could do a remake with places(SSHG) and have johto and kanto connection or even kanto-johto-hoenn

    ReplyDelete
  17. Sam, I'm pretty sure you remember this, but just to say, in the Pokemon games of the Johto region Blaine's Gym is at the cave due the eruption that destroyed Cinnabar. It will not make any difference since the city not even appears.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Most of these parts you said are the invasions.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I made an offer for your Ho-oh, It's a Kyurem

    ReplyDelete
  20. I dont understand the invasion a bit... can we go to hoenn region?

    ReplyDelete
  21. After you beat the game you go to oak's lab and talk to the trainers in the room. If you talk to one some Hoenn pokemons will appears, the other trainers are other regoons. everything in Johto.

    ReplyDelete
  22. yes Im currently playing pokemon heartgold and Blaine is not in cinnabar Island

    ReplyDelete
  23. I have many axews. i'm trading for coins, but you can make an offer.
    I'm also making an expansive shelmet <-> Karrablast tading. have yet 2 karrablasts and 9 shelmets, direct trade without any other requirement.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Im dont have coins sorry.. I might request a trade to you sometime thanks for the offer :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Had you found it already? If have some doubt try Bulbapedia wiki. Helped me many times.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I would like some old Mystery Gift, I didn't played for some months so I want to get the ones from this time.

    ReplyDelete
  27. btw sam will you add fly and a map in ptd2?

    ReplyDelete
  28. they will fight in a cave!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I randomly pick one of the people that have trainer pass, so you don't really have to do anything besides have a trainer pass

    ReplyDelete
  30. might slightly lower it

    ReplyDelete
  31. yeah in the near future

    ReplyDelete
  32. in ptd 2 without trainer pass and with only 3 badges WITHOUT passing the game i caught a Suicune while battling pidgeys.

    ReplyDelete
  33. anyone have a gible? willing to trd dragonite, or and other dragon for it.5713619

    ReplyDelete
  34. With luck and strategy you can catch it with 2 or 3 level 25. Just adjust for most health (since the others have very few HP) and take a Grass pokemon with grass moves or other super with a poke of the same type. The same for Entei and Raikou, but with their supers.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Just a doubt I had now. Will have a Saffron City Training Dojo Challenge for and fighting, Lucario for example, mega stone? It would be awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  36. can u add precipice blades, origin pulse, dragon ascent? precipice blades is groudon's sig. move kyogre-origin pulse and rayquaza-dragon ascent

    ReplyDelete
  37. what if sam added u to ptd2 ur a real pokemon

    ReplyDelete
  38. Trainer ID: 1177479
    I added some old mystery gift rewards :) some are from ptd1 :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Trade the Axew for the Timbur.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  41. I sent a request to you about the male axew :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I want some bagon and goomy too :3

    ReplyDelete
  43. Accepted already. Thanks for all the trades.

    ReplyDelete
  44. None of them. But I want too.

    ReplyDelete
  45. BTW, you want the dragons for the Dragon Gym? If so I recomend one with electric move with area atack and a rock move too. She has Gyarados, Charizard and Horseas. They will not make a good damage. Recomend Lucario too.

    ReplyDelete
  46. hahah I hope so too! :D

    ReplyDelete
  47. I am breeding some right now. But I want to spend some coins for the Gible. Maybe I trade an "Eggy" later. Saved your trainer ID here. You are helping me a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  48. thanks man Trainer ID: 1177479

    ReplyDelete
  49. I have both genres riolu. I have spare Friend. Dolls. If you need I can give the doll as a gift. I bought too much : >

    ReplyDelete
  50. male :) btw I dont know why are conversation led to riolu :3

    ReplyDelete
  51. Riolu evolves to Lucario with Friendship Doll. Lucario is Fighting/Steel, so high attack and defense, it has pretty good sp. attack and defense too and moves like Dragon Pulse and Aura Sphere. So, Perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I know how it's. It began to stay automatic, so you start a rule to yourself. Like only rock or dragon pokémons. This kind of things.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Whew, traded too much. I think I will use them now.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Ok then. What is the number of people who have a trainer pass, I just want to know the chances.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Trainer ID: 1177479
    I want to trade with other players... sorry for many posts

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  57. http://pokemontowerdefensetwo.wikia.com/wiki/Pokemon_Tower_Defense_Two_Wiki Search for Feebas.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Yeah, I feel sorry too. I remember that there was a chat in flash were we could do this. Is there something like that now? Except the fan-made ones.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  63. I have a bunch of hacked ones if that's OK.

    ReplyDelete
  64. What is the rate for starter pokemon in the wild.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I remember Pokemon Tower Defense 1 Version 5.0 (I think) where there was the Victini mystery gift. I was stupid and didn't know about YouTube or Google or stuff like that (I was in 2nd grade) so I ended up passing up the gift. To this day I regret it.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Thats a shame I can give you one of you want.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Would any one be kind enough to trade me a shadow Bunnelby for some strange reason I have missed the last 3 mystery gifts.

    ReplyDelete
  71. anyone knows how to evolve feebas in PTD2?

    ReplyDelete
  72. Now that you guys said, I wanted to check. I have 1 in PTD2, but I have 9 in PTD1 yet. Not even noticed.

    ReplyDelete
  73. You said you wanted pseudo-legends. My metagross will hatch an egg tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I answered this question below. This is the PTD2 wiki, you can search anything about the game. http://pokemontowerdefensetwo.wikia.com/wiki/Pokemon_Tower_Defense_Two_Wiki
    But to answer, you need to give it a friendship doll and put it to battle. Once the battle start it will evolve.

    ReplyDelete
  75. You can try to sell rarer pokemons for coins. Choose and harder-to-catch pokemon and put it to trade with the option "Adopt Now Price" and choose how much you want for it. Someone with coins might buy it.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I want Pseudo Legends thanks just offer it and I will accept it.. btw if there will be a dragon pokemon I want it shiny :)

    ReplyDelete
  77. Thanks Im already doing it, Im selling victini for 5 snds :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  89. sam, i think there is a bug with the new gym challenge
    i defeated all of his pokemon( nothing else appear) and it doesn;t tell me neither that i won nor lost

    ReplyDelete
  90. OK then that seem more likely than what I originally thought.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Ok thanks very much. The previous ones that I missed someone else gave to me and I have them now. I usually accept males but I have both shadow and shiny Sylveon.

    ReplyDelete
  92. think about the type of attack he is using and how to make that not hurt as much and on who

    ReplyDelete
  93. I dont care about hacked or not. it is ok.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I'm trading a shiny Charizard with mega evolution. Trade ID: 154fa79d2ba49c
    Tell me your offers...unless you have a shiny Mareep :]

    ReplyDelete
  95. Was trying to find the best place to put this comment, and
    Ended up here: I have downloaded ptd2 for my phone. And it works well, however some of the buttons are almost too small to use, like the play pause, and I found out quickly never to try to enter a house, because if it was locked trying to hit the green okay button was near impossible. And when I rapidly tapped it I would accidentally hit the a button again just to be back in the same place. those are my experiences. Hope this helps you tinker with more issues to make the game run better for others and thanks for all your work!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Trainer ID: 1177479

    ReplyDelete
  99. Do you have a shiny Mew?

    ReplyDelete
  100. Although I will not accept normal or shadow Mew because they are both common and dont have much of a high value.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Ouch I already traded my shiny mew :(

    ReplyDelete
  102. Oh ok then cause I really needed a shiny one cause I think I traded it accidentally in PTD.

    ReplyDelete
  103. ok so we have no trade?

    ReplyDelete
  104. Also I usually only accept fair trades.

    ReplyDelete
  105. I guess not then sorry. Unless you have something that is equal to my shiny Rayquaza cause I had to pay for them first .

    ReplyDelete
  106. ouch sorry, I only have mewtwos and mews, victini, and other lower legendaries :( ok then thanks btw

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  109. You can actually catch them in ptd2 in the invasions.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Yeah you are right it would be really cool to have that but dont really think sam will do it

    ReplyDelete
  111. You probably wont believe me but once I started a new character and was going to fight with zapdos(you know in cherrygrove) but before I got there I caught an entei and a suicune. NOT LYING

    ReplyDelete
  112. I just created a new character named RED so I could give him the charizard after I won this gym. And I did win it.

    ReplyDelete
  128. What is your Trainer ID?

    ReplyDelete
  132. Sam whats going to be the next mystery gift.Also whats the next hall of fame reward?

    ReplyDelete
  133. I think they should have a bulbasaur with a venasaurlite for the grass gym to give out in gym challenges

    ReplyDelete
  134. when are they gonna make ptd 3

    ReplyDelete
  135. They have that

    ReplyDelete
  139. Which ones are you after in particular?

    ReplyDelete
  140. who wants shiny bulbausar for shiny moltres?

    ReplyDelete
  141. Another offer for you.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Lol! Why would anyone do trade that|?

    ReplyDelete
  143. tht means u dont know, and u are lying. if i can catch them, why dont u know where? cuz ur lying.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Sadly, yes. I'm ugly, I know. I don't know how to change.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Sure, I don't mind the genres. It's only used at the breeding and I have Ditto. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  146. I liked the CTD. You are doing a great work as always.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Man, are you crazy?
    I checked your ID. You have almost all legendaries from 5th generation for trade and a lot of other strong pokemon. You could offer 1 one the 2 Keldeos or anything else, and you offer a shiny Bulbasaur?

    ReplyDelete
  148. Agree, Ash is the dumbest trainer ever. He only uses attract in same gender pokemon. Always send thundershocks in ground types...
    He travels for mare than 10 years (don't know how much) and doesn't evolved his Squirtle yet.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Shouldn't say that about yourself the more negative views you have the more negative you'll be. But I bet you have a shining personality which makes you the opposite of what you think.
    How did you put the photo there in the first place or did you log in with Facebook or something?

    ReplyDelete
  150. becuase I have problems with PTD1 so i cant get moltres,zapdos, and articouno can sombody give me one?

    ReplyDelete
  151. Trainer ID: 1177479
    Mega Kyurem what can you trade in my profile pokemon? I want/need dragon pokemons and legendaries, although I need shiny Deino :)
    @Omar: Thanks for the Deino

    ReplyDelete
  152. i have shiny deino
    want it?

    ReplyDelete
  153. propably chirachi but it could be and heatren,xerneas or yveltal

    ReplyDelete
  154. except those i don't have

    ReplyDelete
  155. Firstly, I don't have them. Secondly, I meant that you should offer something better for a high level rare pokémon. You have some pokémons that are even rarer than the bird trio, even the shiny ones. Offer something better.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Yeah, I made the disqus account with the facebook one. And the ugly thing, I am just kidding. As we say here in Brazil, "Who smile and sing, the bad things scare" (Truly, it has a rime. But I couldn't found one). :-)

    ReplyDelete
  157. Are you a Minecraft fan?

    ReplyDelete
  158. I almost got entei in second save file

    ReplyDelete
  159. Yeah. But I don't play much. After the house is done and the resources are so much that you can build 3 more houses it becomes dull.

    ReplyDelete
  160. I am not lying.I have catched 3 of them and evolved 2 of them.I think that you too wouldnt really remember the place where you catched a rather rare pokemon in a game that offers you to catch many other when weeks have passed since that moment.So instead of calling me a liar why dont you go looking for it?

    ReplyDelete
  161. no it's correct but it hits pretty high

    ReplyDelete
  162. Btw, in the Route 45 (PTD2) the Tediursas and Ursarings sleep so much that we can't hit them. Just to let you know.

    ReplyDelete
  163. and all the legendaris available

    ReplyDelete
  164. Actually he is not in a coma. Thats just a theory fans made. And also he travels 6-7 years.Other things you said are right.

    ReplyDelete
  165. Did you use the strategy to send the ponyta with the candy down?

    ReplyDelete
  166. omg such lies-_-
    if ur going to lie, then plz leave -_-

    ReplyDelete
  167. It's the Sinnoh invasion

    ReplyDelete
  168. I'm assuming the saying is literal or as it appears.

    ReplyDelete
  169. I'm not sure which ones. Could you tell me which and I might get them for you.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I. Want pichu with lightball or friendship doll

    ReplyDelete
  176. So Sam it is True that you can catch Gibles in the wild right?Right?Or was it just a glitch I caught one?

    ReplyDelete

  178. The best Stand-up Comedians say bad things about them. It's a funny way to see the world. Say bad things, not to make negative thoughts about you, but to make the other people smile with the selfdespising of someone. To see others smile make me smile too.
