PokéHeroes' 1st Anniversary!


I. Recap: From the beginning


Timeline
Somewhen in 2012:
Riako started coding PokéHeroes.
16/June/2013:
PokéHeroes was uploaded to the internet on our first & very small server.
01/July/2013:
PokéHeroes was finally released to the public, yay! 28 members signed up on the first day.
The first Event Distribution was a regular Mew-Egg that didn't require any interaction effort!
First Week:
We reached 230 members already in the first week. The Rumble Areas have been unlocked and improved.
July 2013:
Many small features have been implemented thanks to your suggestions! The Castform Weather-project was the first feature that involved the help of a spriter, Mirej.
Summer 2013:
Remember when Shaymin joined Emera Town? It was available during Summer 2013. And who knows - maybe it'll come back anytime soon?
06/August/2013:
Our very first Fakemon-Event Distribution started! Tom Nook was available for one week.
23/August/2013:
The PokéRadar replaced the Shiny Radar Game. [Screenshot]
End of August:
We reached 1,000 members already! It was our first big step to a huge & awesome community as we have it now.
We had our first raffle to celebrate this huge amount of members on YouTube. Every participant had the chance to win Pokémon X/Pokémon Y.
Fall 2013:
Events, Quests, Honey Tree, Medals... urgh, so many new features! And much more users, yay!!
The page was constantly growing and we were also enjoying our "Draw the Daycare owner"-contest. Did you know that his Notification Picture was drawn by the winner of this contest?
October 2013:
Pokémon X/Y were released worldwide and a few Kalos Pokémon were already added to PokéHeroes. Many were still missing, but users already enjoyed different events that included Kalos-Pokémon as reward.
Christmas 2013:
The Advent time included lots of different events for our active members! Our Adventcalender offered small gifts every day, and our cute Winter Events were certainly popular among most members.
Not to forget the big contests that we did on YouTube, as well as the Kyurem distribution.
17/December/2013:
PokéHeroes became social on Facebook!
Beginning of 2014:
The new year was filled with community projects, such as the PokéHeroes Wiki.
Also the Event Shop was added to the game and the Royal Tunnel opened.
Valentine 2014:
Users were able to send out cute Valentine's cards with a personal message to their friends. Lovely event!
March 2014:
The Asian Week was one of the biggest projects at the beginning of this year. A new event was waiting for you every day - difficult quests/mini games offered you the chance to get a very rare Raylóng egg.

We also reached 10,000 Members!
26/March/2014:
Legendary Rumble Missions are now available!
01/April/2014:
Remember when the spriter staff was trolling you with the announcement of "PokéHeroes 3D"?
Many users fell for this fool! But after all, you received a special Event Pokémon on that day, Derpatung.
25/April/2014:
The Wonder Trade Station had its grand opening!
May 2014:
The Dream World Shop was added to the game. The stock was very limited back then, but it has been extended very quickly. Until now, it's still one of the most popular features on PokéHeroes.
June 2014:
16 new Castforms have been added to the game!

III. New Features!

Now after looking back at what happened in the past, let's take a look at the features that are being released today!




Battling / VS. Seeker
The VS. Seeker is now available as a Key Item at the Item Shop.
This item allows you to battle other members on PokéHeroes.

After buying the VS. Seeker, you unlock two new navigation points:

→ Home → VS. Seeker
You can send/accept battle requests here.

→ Town → VS. Battle Shop
You can buy useful battling items with Battle Points here. Be careful with your purchase and give them to your Pokémon in your Battle Team wisely.
The Battle Shop will be moved to the Emera Mall, soon.

→ Forum → Fight Area
You will also unlock a special subforum that is dedicated to PvP battling. You can search for a random battle partner, participate in official tournaments or organize your own!


Battling is currently only possible as a Player versus Player-version. Battles on Rumble Missions or versus NPCs will be possible in the future :) And don't worry, you won't have to wait another year for it.
This battling feature offers many new possibilities for PokéHeroes: We will be organizing Battle Tournaments in our forums, but it will also be included in different game features. Did you ever want to challenge the Daycare Owner? Well, it might be possible in the future.

However, moves will not be implemented. We were working hard on this simplified RPG-based battling system that does not require Pokémon moves. Still, we are an adoptable site and want to focus on "Adopt, Hatch & Collect". We're putting much effort in developing new features, such as the Dream World Shop or improved Event Distributions.
The battle feature, as it is right now, is definitely entertaining, challenging and also versatile. It will take some time for you to figure out strategies and to train your Battle Team.

However, certain Pokémon abilities might become implemented, but probably also in a different way than you know it from the original games. After all, there are many websites that offer you a battle simulator (or just the original Pokémon games), but we want to offer you something new and unique :)

Everything about battling is explained in this Wiki Article





Anniversary Gift


You have the choice to pick one of these two anniversary gifts after being a member on PokéHeroes for at least 1 year!
You will receive a notification on your personal "PokéHeroes Anniversary Day" with more information.
This Event will be available for at least one year :) So everyone who signed up until now will have the chance to get one.




Salon - Relaxing time for your Pokémon

The Pokémon Salon has its grand opening in the Emera Mall today!
They're offering special massages for your Pokémon that can either raise its happiness or improve some stats (Attack, Defense, Speed, etc.)

You may also want to make use of their Haircut service: This special offer is only available for Furfrou's at the moment.
You can style your Furfrou with different haircuts and make its fur look very fancy!

The salon can be unlocked on Trainerlevel 11.
Furfrou is now breedable.

Thanks to Abby who created the layout of these pages.




New Plushie Distribution


Mew Plushie


Exactly 1 year ago, our very first Event Distribution started: Mew was the first obtainable legendary on PokéHeroes! Now the Dream World Shop is distributing a special Mew Plushie for two weeks.

You can not obtain a shiny Mew Plushie during this Event. However, on July 15th, this Mew Plushie will uncover a special ability for its owner.

IV. Coming soon...

1 year of PokéHeroes - and the development will obviously continue!

After setting up a variety of features that offer you much possibilities to spend your time on PokéHeroes, we will be putting more focus on story-based features.
You have propably already noticed that Prof. Rowan's introduction text in his lab has been changed: He's telling you different stuff based on your experience on PokéHeroes. He's talking about rumors, legendaries, shiny hunting, his life as a young trainer etc. etc.

Also most of you already received a few gifts from Prof. Rowan: After filling your PokéDex with some entries, he will talk to you about evolutions and Mega Pokémon.


But completely new features will be released in the future, too!
There are still many (legendary) Pokémon that are not obtainable yet, but they will surely be in the future. Be patient and keep collecting the Pokémon which are already obtainable :)
I'm putting much effort & creativity in developing new games/rumble missions/features that include Legendaries.


Also, on a more personal note: A few of you might remember that I went to Paris last year right after I released PokéHeroes :b Well, I'll go there again this month, but this time a bit longer. I will not be able to work for PokéHeroes in the meantime, propably not even be able to come online. But... I'll tell you more information about that soon!
