	22/08/2023: As suggested and approved by the community, you can now see your history of sales at the GTS Item Market (link can also be found at the bottom of the Item Market page). It shows the items you most recently sold (incl. quantities and price), as well as some more interesting statistics at the bottom regarding your all-time purchases and sales. Enjoy! [Read more]

21/08/2023:

Various updates/fixes:

Settings re-organisation:
The different types of "settings" have been reorganised in the main navigation. There no longer are different pages for all types of settings, but instead they've been grouped into "Account settings" (formerly "Profile Settings"), "Gameplay Settings" (formerly "Misc. Settings), "Profile Page Settings" and "Site Appearance Settings" (formerly "Layout Settings").

Most settings (avatar, forum/PM signature, country, premium settings/banner ...) have been moved to "Account settings".
Profile polls and contact links can now be created directly on the "Profile Page Settings" page. Just click on the respective edit-buttons.

I hope it's all self-explanatory, though it might need some getting-used-to. ... Also: The settings navigation tab now looks a bit awkward, I know, but that is subject to change in the future as well.

This refactoring update should make it more organised in the long run and also allows adding new options/settings easier. ... Speaking of which:

Feed privacy setting:
A new option has been added (which an be found on the "Profile Page Settings" page): You can now decide to hide your feeds from your public profile. Only logged-in members will then see your feeds.

Blocklist update:
Users on your blocklist now count as "guests" when accessing your profile. Means that they won't appear in the "last visitors" list; and - if the prior mentioned setting is enabled - will not see your feeds on there.

Bug fix:
A bug regarding the icons of your contact links has been fixed. They now show up properly again.

	Is your Solgaleo perhaps busy, e.g. on a rumble mission or part of a battle team? Try setting it up at the GTS, for example, and see if you get an error message. [Read more]

	Please elaborate as I don't have dyslexia. I'm not sure how that would improve the readability. To me, putting it all one one tables increases the "too much info in 2 single part" aspect? Doesn't that contradict? [Read more]

	It was suggested before mega hunts, legendary dex hunts and many summon item/quest hunts were added :D But interesting finding nonetheless. [Read more]

In the last year, due to the world's economy and global inflation, PokéHeroes' monthly expenses have risen by roundabout 20%.
At the same time, due to PokeHeroes' increasing age, activity has declined by roughly 20%.

+20% and -20% here, unfortunately, don't even out. Quite the opposite.

Now, PH is still doing well. Don't worry/stress about that.
But I want to make sure that it will continue doing well for not only the next year, but the next ten years to come. And for that, PH needs monthly income.

We can't raise premium prices nor flute prices. The way I know our user base, many would drive completely wild.
And I personally also don't want to raise these prices. I think they're fair priced, even though inflation would technically justify raising them. 8$ back in 'ye older days were a lot more than today.

Anyway. Point is: We need to have different sources of income, in the least invasive way possible.
Mirej described my train of thought perfectly: you didn't need this feature for the past 10 years, you don't need it now. It's completely optional, so I think it's a perfectly fair premium feature.
Some users think it's worth it, and so they'll buy it. Some others won't. That's perfectly fine. It's a convenience feature; it's no more necessary than it was a year ago. In the few days since its release, many more users have already bought it than I even expected. That's good for this site.

Let me assure you, though, that we always monitor prices and reevaluate them in the future. We need to make these decisions based on real data, however, and not based on a few "for me personally it's not worth it" anecdotes. So while your input is appreciated, we can't just make things cheaper/free/not require nuggets just because some users would want it that way. Because, as I tried to make clear, that works for a year; until we'd then have to shut down the servers due to insufficient funding.
I know the stats, I know the data, I know PH' finances. I'm doing the best I can best on these insights. That's my "job" here.

And one last thing: All money that PH makes goes back into PH (or is being put into savings for when the time comes where expenses are greater than income). Neither me nor the staff gets money from PH. We're not "lining our pockets", we're doing it in the best interest of this site. And I've been successfully keeping this site running for the past 10 years, so I'm hoping for some trust that I'll also manage to keep it running for the next 10 :)

	It looks like you have an active Event Pass (unrelated to your current chain), which confused this system. It should now be fixed and also work for you. [Read more]

	11/07/2023: QoL Update: When attempting to use more than 5,000 Power Orbs on a hatched Pokémon, the site will now warn you first and ask for confirmation. This does not apply to eggs, as spending large amounts of power orbs is usually intended - and limited anyway by the amount of remaining steps to hatch. [Read more]

	09/07/2023: You might notice that a few new Paldean Pokédex entries of certain evolutions have been added. This does not mean that they're available now, however! It's just preparation for a future release. Proper announcement will be made once they become available. In the meantime, please enjoy the immediate release of Maschiff and its evolution through Prof. Rowan's Lab! [Read more]

	Absbor: There is much lore programmed way in advance that no one has discovered so far (or is even able to discover at this point) :) Also, that post-5 year message depends on your registration date, not on the site's age. [Read more]

	I have spoken to XSolla and they've rolled back their update (for now). They told me that they will investigate the issue and fix it before updating it again. So payments should be working as usual again :) [Read more]
