IMPORTANT!
For this update, we upgraded PokeGen from Unity 3 to Unity 4. What that means is that you'll have to do a FRESH INSTALL of PokeGen - updating your previous version will NOT work. If you do not have the launcher, you can download it here!
Mac users can also get the current update here!
It's been quite the wait, and I commend anybody that's stuck around this long. Unfortunately, this update doesn't contain anything too substantial, but it has a couple of neat features that I think you guys will enjoy.
Of course, after this will be a hiatus in terms of when the updates will release. I'll still be working on PokeGen as I can, and everyone else is free to do as they please as well, but I can't give any more concrete release dates as I'm uncertain of my ability to stay true to my word in terms of making them on time. That being said, I do hope you enjoy this update, as both life and motivation made it a tricky one for me to pull together.
Nidorino
- Nidorino will now be roaming around the Corral. You'll also be able to evolve Nidoran M into Nidorino should you care to invest the time.
- His moves are Thunderbolt, Mud Slap, Poison Sting, and Iron Tail.
- With his moveset, we wanted to explore our philosophy of how Pokemon will do moves differently (Poison Sting & Iron Tail). For example, Weedle's Poison Sting focuses more on poisoning targets whereas Nidorino's focuses on dealing a quick burst of damage.
Leveling & Evolution
- You can now level your Pokemon and their stats will improve with levels.
- Leveling to 16 with Nidoran M will evolve it into Nidorino, but apart from that, there aren't any moves to learn quite yet.
That's honestly it for this update in terms of raw features, however I would like everyone to keep an eye out for some oddities:
- Since we upgraded to Unity 4, some scripts may be working incorrectly. It is at this time that I implore all of you to utilize the bug testing forum to tell us of anything you find.
- One strange bug is that on certain graphical setups, the game will be distorted/bright on start-up. In order to fix this, just move the window around for a brief second and let it sort itself out.
- If your sound is buzzing at all, be sure to have V-Sync enabled on your video card drivers.
- Evolution will not currently occur in multiplayer, and it may still be a little iffy in single player, so if you see anything strange, let us know.
- The graphics have also been slightly tweaked, as well as some animations, so be sure to also tell us what you think on both fronts.
I think that wraps up everything so far. We'll try to get the next update as soon as possible, but thanks for being patient. I'm well aware that it's not the grand update many of you expected, or even the one I intended to give, but our motivation for the project is still going strong.
For the record, don't blame anyone on the team apart from myself (Xatoku). Skatter's still interested in PokeGen, even if he doesn't show it outwardly to you all. Simply put, without him by my side in that little white room all of those months ago, we wouldn't be where we are today.
The modelers in the forums have made extremely astounding progress (they're at 94% of all Pokemon models, and have moved onto Trainers & Objects/Foliage in the past few months).
The hiatus is purely a result of my failing to make lemonade properly. If you get what I mean, then hopefully you'll be able to hold on a little longer until I can get things back on track - if not, enjoy the update.
GOOD GAME!!
Awesome
I only add things that look awesome on my watch list Xatoku. And I never intend to remove any of them :) Hope you get back as soon as you can, but when your personal life is good again of course.
woootttttt leveling! that will keep me entertained for long enough, take as long as you need :)
For everyone having a problem with the new update: if you go to pokegen's discussion forum and go to page 21 of the Bug Reports topic, flagrama posted a solution that works. It should be the very first post on that page.
Lets get a try :) Seems legit
Finally! :D
Good luck with your... personal life, I guess.

You forgot to mention you rebalanced Growlithes Dig attack for the AI. It no longer chooses the ideal path and therefore you can escape it :D
Can you add the game folder to moddb site. My window just **** with the launcher, always get error code :(

I understand your opinion regarding open-source projects, PG is your work and only you can understand its style, its philosophy and what it's meant to be. But IMO it would be a good idea to ask people to create content (pokemons and their moves' animations, maps, clothing for trainers etc.) as devotted fans on the forums already do.
And while the game wouldn't be open-source, you still could review some user-created content, and add it to the game if you like it.
As an example, Valve is doing this with the TF2 Workshop, adding user created items to the game.
In conclusion, not doing it an open-source project but a cooperative project, with you keeping it oragnized and tidy; without taking your time away so you can think about your life choices.
Good luck with everything, the project and most importantly your life.
Just keep in mind you got supportive and comprehensive fans. We'll wait, and have faith in your project :)
Thanks! Also, we've been doing that for quite some time. In fact, quite a few assets already in-game were made by the community.

when I click on the link to upgrade, the following error appears: Oops! Google Chrome Could Not connect to www.pokegen.ca what do i do?
(buried)
WTF? today was supposed to play the full version would come out and just add that Nidorino evolve and we can control the camera WOW YOU!
Where did anything suggest the full version was supposed to come out any time soon? If you follow the news it has been very clear that this was to be a small update, and that the "completion date" is not remotely close or even determined.
You always could control the camera, and you are more idiot than a lamp
The www.pokegen.ca Website do not open, and when i download the Pokemon Launcher V2 its frezee in "Calculating Diferrence..."
Starting the launcher in Admin mode worked for me.
After a while i try it again and then it worked.
i was waiting so long and i can not download now :( whats the problem

Glad to see you did keep your own deadline for the new patch. Shows us that you're serious about keeping the project alive. I'll keep an eye on it. ;)
Thank you! Stay strong, i can't even imagine if it's possible for you understand how much this means to some people, and i know that puts a tremendous amount of pressure on you, so take your time, do your work right, sort your life and we'll be waiting for this.
Thanks pokegen team and contributers!
Love how you make different pokemon use moves differently ! Cant wait for the distant future when i can roam around as a ******* Nidoking! :D Been a fan since you only had Pikachu and Charmander in the game! LOVE YOUR WORK!! Hope you sort out your personal life and personal problems soon Xatoku! And i am not only saying that because I crave more updates, but because i care about you (but also the game). Been supporting you from early on and i always will! POKEGEN FTW! :D :D
leveling for LV. 16 is very tiring...
