As we break away from the thick of our emergency measures and begin recovering, as well as prepare for the Galar Festival to be released this next day, a few things have come to our attention that needed some tweaks. And so that you guys don't have to stumble upon these changes I'm here to just give you a rundown on what of significance has been modified.
Bicycles
Changed to be maximum speed!
Now, using your bicycle will alert mods that you care only for speedy replies and as such they will only respond with the necessary encounter or battle information; no RP. In conjunction with this change New Members no longer receive the option to activate this mode.
Priority Modding
aka Making Eye Contact
As per our little experiment derived from the emergency measures, the 'Has Modded' category of the mod list has been tweaked. It still retains the same function as before: mod someone's thread and one of yours gets put in this higher priority bracket. But there are other ways your thread can end up there now:
Battle Items
It came to our attention that it was canon for Battle Items (X-Attack, Dire Hit, X-Accuracy, etc) to increase friendship. As these items have been rather undesirable on forum with just their in-battle effects we felt it pertinent to update these so that they more accurately translate from their in-game function. As such, Battle Items have been included in the Happiness System and no longer have special ZZ pricing!
On a related note, Everstones have also been given a purpose/effect on ZZ as a Happiness Item.
Pickup Ability
Found here, we have updated the findable item tables to better reflect the variety of items over the recent generations of games. We have included some more valuable items and hopefully made them more relevant and rewarding whenever players decide to make use of the ability.
Those are the major changes for this moment, but a hoard of updates are coming upon the release of the Galar Festival! Poké Marts, Game Corner Prizes, IPF & TR Shops, the Digsite, a few new items as well as a completely new feature! So make sure to take a look at those tomorrow ;D

◓ New Members' threads are treated with higher priority until they achieve the Zephyr Badge with their first character.
◓ Members who've returned from a long absence will be given temporary higher priority for their first month back.
