This page details updates that were mentioned in the group's #announcements channel over the months! Everything you need to know about what's been going on will be documented here, as well as a few reminders for upcoming activities!
This resource will be kept up-to-date to the best of our abilities, but pardon our dust if it's ever delayed! All the information can still be found in the Discord if this section is ever out-of-date!
Last Updated: 08/26/25
✦ The inventories have received a visual and structural overhaul! After some time debating on how best to go about this change, the inventories have been updated! A screenshot of what it now looks like is included below!
✦ The recruits list is now combined under Team Members, which includes subheadings for Leaders, Recruits, Mythical, and Paradox.
✦ Each character now has a checkbox next to their name to determine whether they have been approved or not.
✧ Characters with a checked box have their applications linked.
✧ Characters with an unchecked box do not have their applications linked yet.
✦ Next to the character's level is a new box with a hamburger icon (☰). If you hover over the box or click on it, you'll see what items have been used on the character and any other additional details that a member may deem useful to know about (such as alternate names or similar).
Here's what it looks like!
✦ Monthly Items now have their own dedicated section with icons to tell you whether or not it's available to use!
✧ A 🔒 means that you do not own the item!
✧ A ❌ means that the item is not available to use!
✧ A ✅ means that the item is available to use!
✦ HMs & TMs also have their own dedicated section, with the TMs your team owns in the notes of the box with the number.
✦ Event Potions & Juices have their own dedicated section so you can easily see which ones you're in possession of!
✦ Recruit Tokens have been moved into their own section as well, with the category, recruit, and an icon to tell you its status!
✧ A ❓ means that the token has not been rolled yet!
✧ A 🎲✅ means that the token can be re-rolled!
✧ A 🎲❌ means that the token has been re-rolled and cannot be re-rolled again!
✦ In addition to these icons, there are others that symbolize certain Special Variant Recruits that have also been changed to no longer take up a recruit slot until you're ready to proceed with them! These recruits will stay in your Recruit Tokens until you give them a name or submit an application for them.
✧ 🍏 is for Fruity Applin
✧ 👒 is for Costume Pikachu
✧ ⚔️ is for Armory Honedge
✧ 🪡 is for Cosplay Mimikyu
✧ 🧧 is for any Chinese New Year Variant
✦ Shared teams no longer share Poke and Candy. Instead, members who share a team will have their own individual inventories created once their team has been accepted and each person will earn Poke and Candy separately!
✧ We are currently working to fill out the remaining individual inventories who are missing their share of Poke and Candy, so if your inventory currently has 0 currency and you've submitted work to the group before, that will be amended soon!
✦ The 7-character maximum for dungeon artwork will be removed! You'll be allowed to draw as many Pokemon as you'd like in your art piece, however this does mean that the Poke and Candy earned will be adjusted as well.
✧ A max of 4 player characters will still be in place, but you can draw as many NPCs as you'd like.
✧ For every additional character you draw after 7 total characters, they'll be worth half as much as usual. Currently, characters are worth 50p / 50c.
✧ If you draw more than 7 characters, every character afterwards will only be worth 25p / 25c.
✧ So, you'll continue to earn Poke and Candy for drawing more than 7 characters, but there will be diminishing returns!
✦ Seasonal Accessory Packs will be retired by October 2025. With the addition of the Modern Accessory Pack, we've decided to retire the Seasonal Accessory packs in order to reduce the amount of items and customization options people have to consider.
✧ Characters who have already had their applications approved and who were using one of the team's Seasonal Accessory Packs will not need to buy a Modern Accessory Pack to replace the retired packs.
✧ Teams that have purchased a Seasonal Accessory Pack at any point will receive 1 Modern Accessory Pack for each season they own one for as compensation.
✧ Modern Accessory Packs will be available in the Holiday Hills Shop as a non-limited purchase.
✦ Additional upcoming changes! These updates are still having their details hammered out, but some may be coming as soon as October 2025!
✧ An item / service to do one major overhaul of your character will be added. It will be an item with a cooldown, but will let you change things after app approval that up until this point have been disallowed.
✧ A repeatable monthly task will be added for characters with Wedding Bands and characters with Child NPCs!
✧ Jobs -- additional objectives and "side missions" that you can take while completing dungeons -- will be coming soon as a new activity! We've got the rules and the jobs themselves written out, it's just a matter of figuring out the technical workings!
✧ The Treasure Box loot pool will be expanded! More items will be added to the Treasure Boxes soon to provide a wider variety of items to receive!
