I have revamped both the start menu and the pokegear! (with the help of Hansiec)
they both look nice and fresh, and are throw backs to my favorite game, Pokemon XD
second, I have finally settled on 5 apps, 4 of which will be usable in the next release, while 1 is sort of not used yet, they are:
Achievements; Phone; PC; Badge Case; Poke Locator
You read that right, the PC can be accessed remotely by visiting the PC Nurse from Cyan City, she will give you the App after you first heal your pokemon
it will only allow access to the pokemon boxes (re-arranging, depositing,withdrawing) no access to anything else (pffft like you need anything else)
the Poke locator will be available at the start, but only sort of
what it does is allows you to choose any route or cave, and see what pokemon are available there, their rareness, and what time of day they show up (far better than the "nest" option on the pokedex
it will only "sort of" be available, as you can only see the available pokemon of the routes you have visited before
the phone is the one that is pretty useless, but will be fully functional in V5
the achievement systm is being planned on also for V5, and will be pretty awesome, V5 is a real game changer
the badge case is what you would expect and is available at the start
drops will be available in V4.2
the menu and pokegear awesomeness will be available in V4.2
2 new areas, and 2 caves will be accessible in V4.2
the beta will end at the snorlax in mt. kratos
all of ardiger town will be available in V4.2
any and all known errors will be fixed in V4.2
sylveon will be available in V4.2
I will post the new evolution methods after V4.2 is released (maybe sooner, iunno)
there will be countless added trainers in V4.2
Saves are transferable from V4.1 to V4.2, but as always, I recommend starting new as it will keep you busy and will be fun to play and will keep you busy til V5 is released which will be very far off to supply it with massive content
V5 will also be backwards save compatible, but you will have a major detriment to story, as the obtainable eevee at the beginning will be very different in V5 than in V4.2, I may correct this beforehand, I will let you know otherwise
basically V4.2 will be awesome, while V5 will be 20x better
Finally, I will probably release V4.2 by the end of February, as school is starting back up, and I still need to make some touch ups and add lots and lots of content.
here are the images of the
start menu and
pokegear!
