Hey!

The evolution screen is similiar to a popup notification on the iPhone, though we'd like to call it a 'Modal window' ;-)
We're very excited as we're almost ready to release lukomon :-)

My mistake! I have another by "Nolan Lawson". I figured it was this one as the other one on the market belongs to someone else who posted in this forum. :P Pokedroid is what it's called.

In that case, really looking forward to this one. XD

We were experiencing some problems with our database since there are over 9000 texts in there. This was causing horrible slowdown on newer Pokémon (like a Slowpoke in slowmotion). We've rewritten and optimized most of our code as we implemented the new design but it was still too slow (it evolved into Slowbro). That's why we came up with a solution: generate flat-files from our server which contain all information we need. This works pretty well and is fast :-) We're still implementing this method for some of our other data (like items) and this shouldn't take long anymore. Sorry for the delay!

We're working as hard as we can, haven't slept normal for a week and I have only played Heart Gold for 3 hours since the release! ;-(

Thanks for all the positive replies!
lukomon Pokédex will be introduced at a reduced introduction price. You're the first to know ;-)
Oh and we will be releasing some promo codes in here, since you rock :)

How much will the app to be?

After reading through the whole thread, I have some other questions.

Is the above a real entry or just to show the design, etc? Because, as far as I'm concerned Bulbasaur isn't found on any of those routes or cities, and those routes/cities aren't in Diamond (which is highlited).

Similar to the above question, it says trade while holding this item (metal coat) followed by a fire stone (or thunderstone; can't tell) to get Ivysaur, which is obtained by leveling up. Also, Ivysaur doen't have a Hold Item as it isn't found in the wild.

Also, what are these promo codes and what do they do?

Just curious; not wanting to sound doubting. I personally find this amazing as I'm getting an iPod Touch for my birthday and my heart rate went up becasue of excitement of this app!

deku, this is what Kombo Studio said:
Here's a sneek peak at the improved design which will be fully implemented tomorrow morning :-D
(dummy data in there for testing)

So I guess it is correct that the data in there is just for testing.

Also, promo codes are something like (if I remember it correctly) codes you can use in iTunes to download a certain app for free. Just like gift cards for example.

OT; cool Kombo~! Hope I can snag a promo code. If not, don't worry, I'll definitely buy the app when it releases. :)

Hey Deku:
Pokafreak is right, that's just dummy data in there. Don't worry :)

Developers can request promotional codes for their apps. These promo codes allow customers to download the app for free. This is mainly used for marketing (given to blogs, sites etc for reviews).


We're still thinking about the pricing and as I said we will introduce lukomon for a reduced introduction price. I can't tell you that exact price yet, unfortunately.

Good :) I must've read over that :P
Anyways, I should be getting an iPhone for my birthday (early too, I think), and this will be one of the first apps I get! It looks very nice and extremely convienent. How long do the promo codes last?

deku: Promotional codes last for 4 weeks.

It's true that we've put a lot of time and effort into the creation of lukomon but I don't think we'll ever sell the app for as much as $3.99. That's more than I'd personally like to pay for an app. We will announce the release and price at the start of the next week.

Migrating from our old database-driven system has increased the filesize a bit. But it will will most likely not even exceed 15MB. That's not much for an app is it?

Screenshot!

Our gameswitcher will be visible if you scroll down as you are at the top of the page (similiar to the Music app on the iPhone). Here you can trigger game specific locations.
Press the move to see it's profile. Once you're there you can see every Pokémon that can learn that this move :-)

We're still working on the last bits of our database and making things like this look nice:
