When should the Halloween event start?

🤡👻🧙‍♀️ spoopy season

Team Iron Hands ✊ or Brute Bonnet? 🍄

New Paradox Quest 👏⚽ will most likely drop on Wednesday, alongside a new event distribution. ⚡
I'm not home tomorrow. And as you know, I prefer to be online when new stuff goes live, so I can apply potentially necessary fixes immediately 😌

Have you noticed our newest writing contest? If your short story wins, you get a flute combo, worth 400 nuggies! :)

I made a suggestion ("EggDex Reward: Increased breeding odds for dex legendaries")

I was so confident, thinking I knew what the Hoenn Tonic recipe was, so I leveled up my Eggant and Stash berries to Lvl. 5 🤦‍♂️😂 I could've made so many tonics by now...

If I ever decide to make the world burn, I'll do a Royal Tunnel event

In the 11th anniversary post I've announced two future plans:

1) Server migration ✅
2) Quality-of-Life (QoL) Updates ⌛

One major part of QoL is fixing bugs. So a while ago I've set myself two goals, to be reached by the end of 2024:

a) Reduce the amount of unresolved, confirmed bug reports to 100 or less (started at 150 a few weeks ago). This means I still have to fix one bug every 3-4 days until the end of the year. (Unless CatLady moves more bugs to "confirmed", in which case I just have to work harder :P)
b) Fix all reported spelling mistakes. With major help by CatLady, I've already reduced the amount of spelling mistake reports from about 800 posts to 100 (by either fixing them, or deleting ones that have been reported multiple times or have been fixed already). So... 100 more to go, woohoo.

Have you already cleared all of May's tasks in this year's Berry Battle?
The actual berry battles start tonight!

🫐🫐⚔️

What's an Event/'mon that hasn't happened/been distributed in a while that you'd like to see return?

In our most recent drawing contest, we asked you to turn characters of Emera Town into plushies. And here are our 4 absolutely adorable winning submissions!
Congrats and thanks for participating ⭐

Your goal of the week? 💪

New event is online + news post that definitely was there already 7 minutes ago 🥸

ready for new event?

My attempt at drawing Plusle (Flirty) at Catlady's livestream

might have just fixed the lag. let's see what the next SCS slot brings.

Tomorrow is Speed Click Saturday.
Since we're now on a new and not yet fully optimised server, I have drastically lowered the goals for tomorrow. It is possible that interactions lag under extremely high load. Performance metrics I collect during this SCS will help me further fine-tune our new server. Don't panic if it's not perfect yet. In theory, the new hardware is much more capable than the old one - but the software/configuration might not be perfect yet.

Fun fact: Only 90s kids probably remember this, but in the early days the main idea behind the speed click events was to have scheduled stress tests for our servers. After a while, when the server reached its top speed, these events just became a monthly tradition. And now we've gone back to the roots and use them as stress tests again 😄

Welcome to the new server!
