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 :) [Read more] |

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] |

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] |

Also, that post-5 year message depends on your registration date, not on the site's age. [Read more] |

The functionality should still be the same, but the layout is different. For me, it still seems to work perfectly. I have a drop down where I can select the nugget bundles; the same as before. Could you provide a screenshot perhaps? [Read more] |

New updates and future plans <img src="//staticpokeheroes.com/img/news/10_anniversary.png" style="float: right; margin-left: 8px; width: 24%"> On July 1st, 2013, PokéHeroes was officially released to the worldwide web! Or in other words: More than 280,000 members ago, more than 9 Billion interactions ago, 294 news posts ago, more than 41 Million adopted Pokémon ago... It all began on Monday, July 1st. What an exciting journey it has been so far! The game that originally started as a simple "adopt, hatch and train" game evolved into a multi facetted community-centred browsergame with dozens of quests, side-stories, lores, recurring events, contests, memes, and more! Back in 'ye older days when shiny hunting wasn't a thing yet, interacting first required you to do two clicks, then a click and the "N"-key, and later only one click; back in 'ye older days, when the Daycare Owner didn't have a face yet and was later branded by the community in a drawing contest; back in 'ye older days, when there was no wiki! So much has changed, so much has evolved. And all of that because of your amazing and dedicated staff and our loyal members whom some of which have been with us for just as long. <img src="//staticpokeheroes.com/img/quests/necrozma/keshi_lantern.png" style="float: left; width: 25%; max-width: 414px; margin-right: 6px">"Yoo, 'sup lads! Keshi's the name. Pretty funky town you've got going here. Bunch'a boomers here 'n there, sure, but like—great venues and all. Got gamblin', alright, got nice beach, got like cute plushies 'n stuff. Totes down for all that! Kappa. Anyway. Know of any music stores in town? But like, not like these modern shoops an' all. I'm more like into old stuff, y'know? Like the Volbeatles. Or NidoQueen. ... Ah, anyway, you don't look like you've got the groove! But if you do - and if by any chance you find some hot 'nyls I could listen to - then do meet me at the Ancient Cave! Sound's much better in there, with lots'a echo. Trust me!" This new permanently available quest can be started at the Ancient Cave when the following criteria are met: - You must own at least one "Old Vinyl" - You must own a "Good Rod" - You must own a "Shadow Radar" (Can be purchased from the shop after reaching Trainerlevel 20) The Quest can be repeated as often as you'd like. One Old Vinyl is consumed in every repetition. New Event Distribution    The Legendary Beasts (Raikou, Entei and Suicune) can now be obtained in their Retro form from an exclusive anniversary Event Distribution! 
Retro Raikou is available from July 1st to July 14th, 2023.
Retro Entei will be available from July 15th to July 28th,
2023.
Retro Suicune will be available from July 29th to August 11th,
2023.Just like all other Retro Pokémon, these three have an extremely high shiny chance - 1 in 50, to be more specific. Good luck! With a 10-year anniversary special! <img src="//staticpokeheroes.com/img/dw_plushies/0151.png" style="float: right">The legendary Pokémon Mew has returned as a Dream World Event Plushie! It is available until July 16th and can be obtained by fulfilling Dream Point spending goals. With every Mew Plushie that you obtain, the DP requirement increases. To get the first Mew Plushie, you have to spend at least 500 Dream Points at the DW Shop. The 5th Mew Plushie that you get is a Shiny Plushie. As every year, you'll be able to claim a special prize starting on July 17th. When you buy at least 1 Mew Plushie, you will be able to obtain a regular (potentially shiny) Mew egg. When you buy at least 3 Mew Plushies, you will be able to obtain a new and special 10-year anniversary Mew egg! <table id="blue_table" style="margin: auto; position: relative"><tr><th>Mew Plushies Purchased</th><th>Regular Mew</th><th>Event Mew</th></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>0.01% Shiny</td><td>---</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>0.1% Shiny</td><td>---</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>0.2% Shiny</td><td>0.01% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>0.5% Shiny</td><td>0.1% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>1% Shiny</td><td>0.2% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>2% Shiny</td><td>0.4% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>4% Shiny</td><td>0.8% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>8% Shiny</td><td>1.6% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>20% Shiny</td><td>3% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>100% Shiny</td><td>6% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>100% Shiny</td><td>10% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>100% Shiny</td><td>15% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>100% Shiny</td><td>20% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>100% Shiny</td><td>33% Shiny</td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>100% Shiny</td><td>100% Shiny</td></tr></table>  The new main legends from Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will soon be coming to Emera Town in a new quest! In this new storyline, you will be given the choice between exploring the past and exploring the future. Choose wisely! Your decision will determine future opportunities on PokéHeroes for you. The first part of the quest will require Trainerlevel 35 or higher. The second part of the quest (which gives you the option to explore/complete the other choice you didn't take in the first part) requires Trainerlevel 50 or higher.  [Read more] |
