Staff changes:

After many years of being members of our staff,Tesoro and -Max have decided to leave the moderator staff. Both of them have become too busy with real life and thus prefer to enjoy PokeHeroes in the foreseeable future only as players. I would like to thank them for their incredible work over the past years—I will forever be greatful! ❤ I wish you all the best for your future, please take care.

However, there are also good news: Jacharias has completed their MiT phase and is now an official moderator on PokeHeroes! 🤩

I get a lot of weird messages every day on here (just spent about an hour replying to most of them), but "How cave man get code" is my new favourite.

Wha--? 🤠

You have about one more week to submit your sprited easter eggs in our official contest!
I can't wait to hide them all around Emera Town 👀🐣

PokéHeroes is a safe space for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who raised their concerns about the situation. Please don't ever be silent about such issues and—as many of you have very rightfully pointed out over the past twenty-four hours—speak out.
I want to stress that we really want to do our best every single day to make PokeHeroes the perfect place for everyone with good intentions. This is a child-friendly, open-minded, tolerant website and community.

I want to clarify one thing: Some of you have expressed concerns as to why we didn't react quicker (than last night, which is when I've been made aware of the situation). The reasons are very simple: We needed to collect and verify the entire evidence first, try to hear both sides of the story, needed to extensively discuss this issue internally, (I had to sleep, work & prepare for an exam tomorrow), and then finalise our decisions. And our decision was very clear.
So please do not feel neglected by the moderators or any other member of our staff in any way. I can assure you that they are doing an excellent job. They always have your best in mind; they are so selflessly giving us their time to make PokeHeroes a wonderful place every single day of the week.
If anyone is ever to blame for any mistakes, it is me personally. I set the rules and guidelines for them, I am the one who creates the tools they need to execute their jobs properly, I am the person they come to with delicate matters. Please do not blame our hard-working staff.

Thank you very much and please accept my apology for these unsettling past 24 hours. I hope we can all go back to adopt, hatch and train now. I promise you that we will continue to work hard for this wonderful community.

Don't forget to join our Easter egg spriting contest!

Who's excited for this event? 🤩

I'm hyped

I'm so hyped

Our Easter egg spriting contest just begun! 🎨🥚

Language study:
[Disclaimer: The following feed is not related to PH]

As some of you might or might not know, in my real life I'm working as a researcher & lecturer at a university. I'm currently conducting a language study for which I need native speakers of English from the US (18 years or older). Participants will be asked to record themselves reading out short texts which I provide (mic quality doesn't matter; and you also don't need to be a professional reader or anything). Unfortunately, I cannot go too far into detail here because I don't want to influence the results.
If you would like to help me out, then please fill out this Google Form.

After being accepted as a participant, you will have about 1 week to send me the recordings. The task will probably take about 1 hour of your time. As a compensation, you'll receive 800 Nuggets.

I think it would be so adorable if Unowns hatched as small case baby letters and only later evolved into capital letters

How many of you are using Stylish (or any other add-on to alter the PH standard style)?
The reason for why I'm asking is that I'm thinking about supporting some of these styles (more or less) "officially", i.e. making them selectable in the style settings (which means that you won't require an add-on and that it'll also work on mobile). The reason why it's only quote-unquote official is that this would obviously be hard to maintain; because these styles may break once an update to the base design is made. And I cannot guarantee that they'll always work and look good on every device and every page.
But this would also make it possible to add a "dark mode" (in case anyone's interested in creating a dark style), which many of you have been asking for... hm

I just went to the SCS page and saw that you can get shiny Victini there. I forgot that it's available there and was like "did they release an update? ... ... ... Wait. I'm the one who releases updates."

I should go to bed

I think I'm going to hunt Ditto next.

On another note: This is Kyurem's last week in Emera Town!

#92. Next hunt?

YouTube did not like the conga. Oops.

Spending the evening reading suggestions. There are so many good ones! What's your current favourite?

Art contest:

We're hosting a new drawing contest where your can help us make this site more beautiful with new background artworks! All winners drawings will become permanent new options in the style settings—and their artists additionally get three months of premium membership for their efforts!

Reading PokéHeroes' very first news posts is making me nostalgic and cringe at the same time
