[X] My Assistant

[Master Houndoom]

The Mods have kicked around some new features, and while some of them have been put in place, and blatantly so, and others have kind of slipped in, I don't think official announcements have been made. So here, officially, are the announcements:

Better Modding!

We, as the mods, have seemed to hit a bit of a slump. Well, we intend to change that. My personal issues are more or less over, UC has time issues, and Proto is back with us. Amissa, once she returns, will also... have returned...

We want to make Uprising a success, and as much as part of that depends on you, part of that depends on us, as well. Our intent is to keep up our end, and all we ask is a little patience: Real Life has us all by the throats lately, and we need to either take time to consider it (as a Mod Team), or say no because the Mod Team doesn't have the time needed to implement it properly. We also ask that you understand if we decide to say no, especially for that reason, we have a good reason for doing so, and it's not personal.

Idea Box

This isn't as much a new thing as it is the reimplementing of an old thing. We will take your suggestions, listen to them, and decide if it can work for the Uprising Group as a whole.

Egg Moves and TMS!

From this point (well, further back... just... just go with it!) on, we will be implementing the following: Egg Moves are implemented at receipt of the pokemon. Just hatched? Any eggmove you want can be there. Just caught? See above. If you so choose, you can implement the Egg Move at a later time, as well, as if the pokemon had been able to learn the move itself.

There is one caveat, though: The pokemon with the egg move *must have a father that can pass that move on*. This means that you have to know what pokemon the father was, and be consistent about it. Say you want a riolu who knows Blaze Kick. Said pokemon could learn any egg move that the father could pass on (in this case, a blaziken would be the father) such as Hi-Jump Kick and Sky Uppercut, but this same riolu wouldn't be able to use Bite or Crunch, since Blaziken cannot pass those moves down.

TMs can be passed down as well, but this must be requested, and the lineage shown. We will not accept chain breeding (passing an egg move from grandfather to father to egg).

Watch This Space!

There's surely more to come, but some of it is not yet ready for the public (and some of it the mods are not ready for it!) Keep watching, True Believers!
