With no time to waste, a speeding dragon whipped over the landscape to land with a billow of wind at the Poke Centre's postings board. A few of the younger trainers were blown back, both physically and emotionally, at the figure's appearance.
The gentle giant reached into its mail bag, withdrew a neat stack of air mail, and dropped it. Then it flew off.
Anyone willing to nab one of the envelopes would be greated with a colourful flyer announcing the plans for a Paldea Festival in the coming months. It highlighted an array of shops geared toward trainers of all levels of experience, some new activities, and showcased a couple of the special regional variants.
Also tucked in was a ticket for free entry; but the shops aren't included! Better start saving some money!
In preparation for the full changeover to Gen 9, which will happen at the launch of the festival (exact date TBA - watch the calendar ;D ), some things are being rolled out early to make it more manageable for those working on the integration. Below is a list of currently active updates that will be quietly updated over time. Some of them are Gen 8 related.
- New TMs have been added to all Poke Marts, the Frontier, and Faction Shops. Item prices have also been updated for latest gen.
- New Items have been added to the RT Shop, Prize Counter, Frontier, Herbalist, Florist, and Faction Shops.
- Evolution items have been shuffled in the RT Shop. They now follow the split between 'direct use' and 'held' as per the games, and some have had their prices adjusted based on overall utility so they are now more consistently priced.
- New evolution methods have been added for Galarian Weezing, Hisui evolved forms, and Gen 9 pokemon.
- Applin & Sinistea have been removed from our special evo list. They are now just exactly as per games.
- Gen 9 pokemon have been added to the Egg Tier list.
- Mankey has been moved from T1 -> T3.
- Move Tutor can teach Lv 20+ Stantler Psyshield Bash.
- Vivillon quest rewards updated.
- BCC rewards & encounters updated.
- New encounter area in Dance Theatre.
- Dream Seer functionality expanded.
- Safari mechanics tweaked.
- Kurt's skills have improved! He can now make Hisui balls. Some Hisui balls have been added to the exclusives list.
- Hisui & Gen 9 added to pokedex quest & quest threads updated.
- Nanab, Razz, and Pinap effects updated.
- NPC Trades overhauled for ease of use & maintenance. Now all in the Trade Center instead of in each route.
- Adoption Centre fees increased
- The Trial Amulet has been expanded to include all regional forms; not just Alolans
- Regional forms are now breedable. See 'What Will Hatch' updates in NJPBF guide
