Updates - December 12th 2016

[The REAL Joey]

Hi all! It's been some time but welcome to the newest forum update. Here you'll find a brief summary of the new additions to the forum.

Quests!

Fleshing out in game quests and devising original ones of our own, we're keen to introduce as many as possible. For now, we've got 3 exciting new additions.

• Mr. Pokémon Quest - An often asked for quest, we've adapted the sidequest from the games with some slight tweeks. Work through the quest and you'll be rewarded with a randomised egg boasting an egg move to boot.
  
• Togepi Egg Quest - Huh? Wasn't the egg you received from Mr. Pokémon a Togepi? You're not wrong, but we're doing things different. This quest involves a stolen egg and a whole lot of mistaken identity. Ultimately, here's your chance to get your very own Togepi!
  
• Honedge Quest - A fan favourite Pokémon, we've come up with an entirely original quest that sees you work together with a blacksmith in forging your very own Honedge.
  

Rewards Shop!

The Rewards Shop has received a slight revamp but more importantly... NEW MILESTONE INCENTIVES! Now's a good a time as any to get out there and recruiting. Which links in well with the next update...

Advertising Template!

In order to maximise your chances of recruiting people, Lamont has put together a revised advertising template featuring one of two ads. The beauty of this is that you have a number of codes for various forum hosts. That'll make things easier.

Game Corner!

We're all very excited to unveil a new addition to the Game Corner. It's one which is steeped in the history of Pokémon and one we've spent some time working on. We're proud to reveal the addition of... SLOT MACHINES!

To enjoy their inclusion, be sure to respond to this update and receive 50 game coins to start you off.

Return/Frustration!

A small update to the forum's Happiness Guide. As we have our own system for this aspect of the games, we've since included a section about how Return and Frustration work, focusing on what their values determine in terms of damage output.

Adoption Center!

We've include an incentive scheme for people to donate their Pokémon. If you donate a tier 1 or 2 egg or even a base form Pokémon from the wild, you'll get a gem based on their typing. Tiers 3 and 4 or an evolved Pokémon caught in the wild will net you x2 gems based on their types. Lastly, a tier 5 egg donation or a Pokémon you've bred, hatched and raised will reward you x1 Gem AND x1 RT! Head on down to the adoption centre if you plan on taking advantage of this scheme.

Promotion!

Last but not least, a big shout to Lamont. We've promoted her up to Global Moderator in recognition for all her hard work on this place. She's a real pillar of the community. Helpful and friendly, her mod posts are of a high quality and she has contributed greatly to various areas of the forum. A big pat on the back.

Well done on getting through all of this. We'd like to remind you that the Christmas Event for 2016 is still in full swing. Enjoy our daily advent calendar item give aways, or partake in the event quest we've put together. There's also a social thread going on. Everyone's invited!

Thanks for reading,
ZZ Staff Team.

I think I am going to have a heart attack seeing this. The recruitment rewards being expanded is wonderful and the new quests are amazing. I remember seeing the Honedge quest way back on the staff boards and I am super excited that is ready to go. Slot machines being added is pretty cool and I might just have to try my luck at some point. Lamont congratulations on the promotion and thank you so much for the new templates. After using a modified old one for years it looks amazing and I cannot wait to start using it to try and finally reach Riolu. As bad as this year has been for me this has been one hell of a morale booster for me. I needed this so badly.

The 50 bonus coins are a nice bonus prize to go along with all the other events going on. I am glad I am sitting down right now as my heart is racing right now. I really need to find new places to put ads as those prizes are amazing. You guys are freaking awesome.
