    - Unfortunately, we've had to remove all Poké Balls from the Battle Store. These items cannot be used unless bought in the regular Poké Ball store, and we have no way to change this. You can receive a full refund for all Poké Balls bought in the Battle Store by clicking sellback on the items in your inventory! This will only work on items purchased in that specific store with Battle Points.

    Fear not - we intend to bring more unique and interesting deals to the Battle Store soon. :)

    September 1st

    It's the first of September, and you know what that means! New Treasures have hit the LV Store.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    - Treasures have returned to the store.
    - Treasures have received some minor design tweaks. We hope you like!
    - The Battle Store now has an exclusive range of Treasures, as seen below:

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    The Treasures found in the Battle Store can only be purchased with points earned in Valor Battle, but they'll aid you much better in battle than any of the Treasures found in the regular store!

    What are you waiting for?

    Come Purchase!

    You can now find Shiny Alolan Pokémon by hunting through our Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon and Sun & Moon sections! Big thanks to Apawn for colouring these, an asset which was not previously available.

    October 4th

    Hello! As many of you are now aware, we released the second generation of Pokémon on LV yesterday. What you might not be aware of are the many changes that occurred behind the scenes. Since we want to be transparent with information and help trainers make the most of their experience on LV, we hope this changelog will be useful to you!

    As of October 3rd, 2017:

    Certain common Kanto Pokémon such as Pidgey, Rattata, Caterpie & Weedle have become less common.

    Certain fully evolved Pokémon such as Butterfree, Beedrill, Fearow, Tentacruel, Dodrio & Magneton can no longer be found in the wild.

    For consistencies sake, Bellsprout & Drowzee has been made more common.

    To encourage the hatching of eggs, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Jynx & Electabuzz can no longer be found in the wild.

    Legendary Eggs are now extremely rare, finding them will be much harder.

    On the contrary, Mystery Egg is now more common.

    A new species can be hatched from the Odd Egg - Tyrogue! There are multiple types to find.

    There is now a new notice at the top of the Trophies Page with a quick link to the request thread.

    Experienced & Master Trainer Trophy images have been corrected.

    - Small one today. There was an oversight where Gloom was way more common than it should be, this has been fixed.

    Two updates today regarding Pokémon Buddies!

    - You now have the option to hide Pokémon Buddies appearing under user avatars by going to the Preferences tab. This works for you only - others can still see your buddy.
    - Buddies have been made slightly smaller so they don't take up too much avatar space.

    Hi folks, two updates regarding the soon incoming Pokémon games, USUM.

    - Threads from the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon section no longer appear in the New Threads and New Posts sidebar to crank down on potential spoilers.
    - I am introducing a new rule: Outside of the USUM section, all talk about potential game spoilers MUST be put in a spoiler tag. This includes status updates, though realistically you should be keeping USUM talk in the USUM section.

    Thanks!

    Happy Halloween, everyone! Have a safe one and be careful about eating apples.

    - Today is your last chance to catch a Halloween Pikachu until next year. These can be found in the Events section exclusively. Their encounter rate has been increased.
    - Today is your last chance to take part in the Halloween Valor Quest.
    - The Gold & Silver section has been archived and merged with Pokémon General.

    - We have a special treat for ALL of you! That's right, every user on LV now has an Azelf Badge to the side of their username for the duration of November. These might not be displaying properly, so be sure to clear your cache to view them as intended! We hope you enjoy.

    Starting today, we have adjusted the catch rates of pretty much every single Pokémon available. Some will be harder to catch, others will be easier to catch. However, to keep improving our system, we need your help.

    Please help us by gathering data on your catching experiences!

    ...hi!

    Palette Town and its variants have received a few minor design tweaks. If you notice anything that looks broken or off, let me know and I'll try to fix it asap! I will also note that you might have been switched back to the default theme, in which case I apologise but you should be able to switch back to any theme of your choice. :)

    7 November 2017 (Yet Again)

    I think we might be going for some kind of record, for having the most updates for LV in a day.

    :: A minor bit of bad news: @TheIllusionFox has been extremely busy with real-life commitments that are beyond his control, so he is currently not on the staff team - at least for the time being. We wish him the best in his endeavours, and will be glad to welcome him back when his life clears up some.

    :: A minor bit of good news: Super Moderators are now capable of giving out Trophies, so you may not have to wait as long to be awarded a shiny medal or two for your profile. The same rules apply for requesting trophies; there's just more people available to do it now.

    When a new (old) section comes, an old must go.

    - Our Articles section has been closed and archived. Users can now freely create articles wherever they find fitting, in any section they choose. Make sure to tag them and use our prefix, though!
    - The Support Hub has returned. This section is your go to place for all site help, questions, feedback and suggestions. If you're ever stuck or have an idea to improve the site, don't be afraid to use it!
    - A few threads from the Info Hub (now Info Desk) have been moved to the Support Hub. This includes trophy requesting, username change requests, bug reports and signature checks.

    Thanks and we hope you make the best use out of the Support Hub.
