More Updates! Language and Applications

SUP BITCHES!

Actually in all seriousness, SUP BIT--/SHOT.

Hey guys! Stormy here, with a super special giant announcement. We came to an official decision on the language barrier.


Copied from the F.A.Q.:

Can we understand each other? Is there still a language barrier?
Nope, Route 29 no longer has a language barrier! All humans and human-like beings can now understand each other. They're all speaking an unknown, common language, even though it flows from their tongue as naturally as their native one. Almost everything is typed and spoken in this language. When it comes to written material, characters who focus long enough can write in their native language, but most times it comes out written in the common language. Unfortunately, characters cannot switch between verbal languages and characters who are able to talk to animals will not be able to talk to pokémon.

After hearing what you all had to say, we decided it would be easier to just make two languages: human, and pokémon. Since you're all worrying about what to do and how to take care of pokémon and what to do, it'll just be easier if languages aren't there as well. And we won't have to add on extra policing on our part.

Unfortunately, time for the less exciting news.

Okami and I were quite disappointed with the amount of people we heard either had not read the F.A.Q. or were just choosing to ignore it, so we have now added passwords to the application. They are in the Rules and the Frequently Asked Questions, and they will be changed every month or so. Please be sure to put them in your applications from now on!

Also, we updated the Pokémon page to include starters and availability, if you haven't seen those already.

Now back to your regularly scheduled battling~

brief announcement!

[these_balls]

Just to give everyone a heads up, Stormy and I have made a few updates that you should all be aware of!

The distances between towns and such has been added to the maps page (someone kick my butt for not finishing with the actual maps part yet aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I have them sitting here staring at me), and the starter list has new fancy coding, as well as all of the route information for finding Pokemon!

We also want to give a heads up that the FAQ will get an update in the next few days regarding our decision on the language barrier issue, and I'm positive it will also have an announcement with it to answer any questions.


I would also like to apologize for current Rockets who didn't get any missions last week, let's just say Proton broke something and Arianna was a very unhappy executive when she went to make a broadcast. I will make an announcement on new missions and new placements though with all of the Rockets coming in on Tuesday next week :) Keep those eyes peeled!

That's all for now folks, so keep on training! (MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU--/shot)
