February 11  ShadowRetroILuvJirachi is the special Pokemon on Moon Gaze Mountain for 2 weeks. Eclipse Star February 10th, 2025 Edition!  The latest edition of the Eclipse Star is here! Check out the new Eclipse Star by clicking here! February 8: New ??? DNAs!    A new selection of Pokemon can be restored from the main classes of ??? DNAs: maps, battles, and mines! Said DNA classes have entirely new prize pools. A big thanks once again to Kora for preparing this update! Tip: ??? DNAs are a mysterious type of Pokemon DNA found randomly while searching the Legendary Areas, battling, mining, or chatting on the cbox. They can also be earned from Daily Prize chests. Visit the DNA Center to restore DNAs — you require 3 DNAs of a particular type to restore a Pokemon back to life. February 2025: Exclusive Donator Avatars!   The Exclusive Avatars for February 2025 are HyperLovelyChatot and HyperLovelyQuaxly! All donators who donate $25 or more in February will earn these avatars for free! The avatars are permanently and automatically added to your Avatar Collection. They are available for February only, then they will be unobtainable.   Furthermore, if you donate $50 or more during February, you'll also receive HyperLovelyGalarianArticuno and HyperLovelyHo-oh avatars! Thanks so much to Kora for this month's avatars! If you already qualify for the avatars, you should receive them automatically within three days! If not, please reach out to Cless. (You will get a PM once they're added to your avatar collection.) If you're interested in donating, see the Donations Guide for more details! And feel free to PM me, Cless or Kora if you have any questions at all! January 24: Sunless Galaxy!  In the midst of continued intense civil unrest on the planet of Zomfon, a completely new location has been discovered: Sunless Galaxy, located atop a seemingly endless, spiralling staircase that reaches into the heavens! As the fighting rages on, the area remains extremely unsafe, and collapse is considered imminent. Furthermore, the once undisturbed ancient Pokemon dwelling within are furious, attacking anything in their way. Beware to all Pokemon Trainers who dare to enter! Be warned, however—Sunless Galaxy is a dangerous place, thus requiring experienced Pokemon Trainers with a Map Level of at least 111! Sunless Galaxy is reported to be rotating toward an ultra wormhole. To avoid dangerous ultra beast encounters Sunless Galaxy will be inhabitable by end day February 14th. Hold your partner and brace for impact!               Happy birthday Finnquaza (Jan 24), Crystal (Jan 24), Zomfon (Jan 26), Skwuid (Jan 28), Boomer (Jan 30), poco (Feb 2), and InkedGamer (Feb 14)—we hope you enjoy your birthdays!! A massive thanks to them as well as to all the countless people who contributed to make this event a reality: Finnquaza, Zomfon, rbeast96, Bad, poco, xBlondeWarrior, Kumu, Boomer, monkeybutt20, SirTomBrady, Rose, Crystal, Exodeux, and Logan! January 21: Winter Pokemon + Yearly Roadmap!    In celebration of the Winter season, several shops have been updated with festive-themed Pokemon and portraits: the Moon Shop, Mine Shop, and the SSM Shop! The three main new event Pokemon also have a chance to be Shiny when purchased, so good luck! A huge thanks to our art team for the wonderful new sprites, and to Jelly for the new Icy portraits! Also, don't forget to read the notice below for details on our 2025 plans! New Sprites Yearly Roadmap: New Colors Features?    We would like to apologize for the lack of a wider Winter Event this year! Instead, we are focusing our efforts on new permanent content for the game! For example, we are considering finally adding entirely new Pokemon colors to Eclipse, most likely accompanied by a brand new feature or two, and/or perhaps a new Pokemon variant (like Noble Pokemon based on B/W-style animated sprites). Furthermore, a user-contributed piece of the game will be implemented! We hope to make the new colors and the new features as exciting as possible to the widest possible range of players. Therefore, we would like to gather input from you: what would you like to see? There are a few ways you can chime in:   1) We have a poll on the question of new colors where you can vote for your favorite new potential color. If you'd like, you can vote in a ranked-choice manner, unlike usual polls. So, you can choose your second favorite, third favorite, and so on. (Optional.)    2) You can chime in on the News Comments below. I know, the News Comments? Really? Yes, really. If you have any ideas for new features (potentially incorporating new Pokemon colors), ideas for an eventual new Pokemon variant like Noble, or entirely different artistic concepts for a new color, or anything at all, please make yourself heard in the News Comments! (The Ideas Forum is great too if you want to get input from other users or hash out an idea.)    3) You can encourage conversation and gather feedback on the Cbox, Discord, and other places. Such conversations would be much more effective if the results of the discussions were somehow summarized in a permanent place like the News Comments or forums so that we actually see it and have time to consider it. Overall, we're open to any ideas that would make the game more enjoyable, and eager to hear what the playerbase thinks. This will help us pave the way forward in 2025, as we hope and intend for it to be a very eventful year in terms of game updates: we want to finally focus on new, permanent content and bring something fresh to the game. So no idea is too silly—feel free to throw things at the wall. Even if the idea isn't fully-baked, you never know if it will inspire something else from us or another player. |
