After what ended up being weeks of testing we finally have another major update ready for you guys. The main focus was on completely rewriting the battle engine on the server side but hasn't been left at that; it includes some new features such as different types of Pokeballs as well as Random Battles in the fashion of Pokemon Showdown. You can find the full changelog below.
Special thanks go to dbzgod420 and CharManDa who have helped a lot in testing this update and ironing out the biggest bugs. Of course the staff and a few testers can't find every bug, so please do report anything you stumble upon on the Bug Catcher.
The download links to the latest installer can be found here: http://forum.pokemon-world-online.net/showthread.php?tid=25997
Detailed list of changes
Notes:
Edit:
To clarify, held items and abilities that have not been working before this update have not yet been fixed/added.
The 13 currently broken moves are: Fling, Natural Gift, Follow Me, Snatch, Rage Powder, Wide Guard, Bug Bite, Retaliate, After You, Magic Room, Quash, Sky Drop, Pluck
