Transparency update time /o/
It has been over a week since the E4 was made live, and what took us a few months of planning/creating only took 4-5 days for some players to complete <<
Such is life.
That being said, a few things to address and note:
1 - Nosepass
Nosepass is evolving at random levels for players and for seemingly no reason. This actually isn't intended and we are going to look into why it is doing that. Other Pokémon that evolve from location aren't doing this and it is unique to Nosepass right now. We wish to include the proper way to evolve things into Probopass, Magnezone etc in a future update via location. Fixing that + the releasing an update will take some time, so enjoy your lvl 14 Probopasses while this is occurring.
2 - 1.98.4
We are taking a bit of relaxation time over Easter, and maybe a little after, but are expecting to be busy once again. 1.98.4 will not be the introduction of Sevii, but more around some larger bug fixes and client/playerdex oriented changes. We can discuss more about what this update means later of course, but even if we have all the plans laid out, we still like keeping some stuff as a surprise
This isn't an invitation to PM us to get more info >,> We will just make forum posts like this one to talk about it/give updates instead.
3 - Sevii
Sevii will be released 1 island at a time. I cannot give a timeline on it, but we thought it would be easier on us to release incrementally instead of everything at once. All maps for Sevii are already ingame, and a long time ago we released an update that puts Sevii as a map tab ingame. But now we have to plan and organise so its actually fun/interesting/engaging over just slapping some spawns in it and calling it a day.
Work on Sevii has officially started. Note - Seven Island and battle tower will probably be left as is.
4 - Mysterious Medallion
The medallion rewarded by beating a special someone is indeed mysterious. And it is indeed a medallion. To temper expectations, no it is not part of a secret quest that has now appeared via LUA magic, this is actually an item we have placed early in preparation for something in 1.98.4.
What will it do? We will tell in time. Please tell us? No
I will say that there will be no quest associated with it in 1.98.4. The medallion is the end goal, but, if we can make it work, it will allow players to access something hopefully worth the time put in to get it.
We thought it people would take longer to find it. The thirst for first is something we will consider going forwards.
