HeartGold and SoulSilver Expansions
- Jigglypuff at 10:31 am PST 19 Jan 2010
We apologize again for the recent downtime issues. Don't worry, they're being sorted out and should be taken care of soon.
In spite of the downtime, however, we've been hard at work. We've started uploading a quick overview of The PokeWalker, with more info coming soon. We've also compiled a quick Move Tutor Guide for HGSS as well, in the same style as for previous games.
We thank you again for bearing with us during these technical difficulties, and look forward to the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver in just under 2 months time. More guides will be coming soon, so keep an eye out.
New Beginnings
- Jigglypuff at 6:48 pm PST 5 Jan 2010
We hope you're all enjoying a wonderful new year thusfar!
You may have noticed some server instability lately. We're working on isolating the causes and getting that all taken care of. Thankfully, it comes in short bursts so if you wait a few minutes everything should be up and running again.
In the meantime, we invite all of you again to make sure you check out Our YouTube Channel and Our Facebook Page and follow us there as well. As we press on into the new year we'll be making much more use of both of these services.
Just over 2 months left until the US release of HeartGold and SoulSilver. Expect a wealth of information as more details are confirmed in the future. And, of course, continued updates on Our YouTube Channel with previews of the games!
Early Presents
- Jigglypuff at 4:09 pm PST 22 Dec 2009
With the holiday season in full swing, we thought it was only appropriate to give you a few presents a little early.
First off, you'll find there's a new page up that showcases some of the Landmarks in HeartGold and SoulSilver. When you enter certain areas, you get a splash screen featuring local scenery and a Pokemon.
And, if you've subscribed to our YouTube Channel, you'll know that we've uploaded a new video for you all - the Goldenrod City Gym Battle.
Finally, we have one more treat for you. As you know by now, a while ago we started a YouTube channel as a way to expand our community. Today, we continue that expansion. You are all invited to join us over on Facebook as a Fan of Psypoke! By following us on Facebook, you'll receive notifications of what we're up to, including little things that aren't significant enough to warrant a whole update post here on the main page. You can also voice your opinion on all sorts of matters, and provide ideas and feedback for us. This is just one more way to help us better interact with our members.
So subscribe to us on the Psypoke Official YouTube Channel, become a Fan on Psypoke's Facebook, and keep ahead of the game on all your Pokemon needs. And this is just the beginning - we have even more plans for the future!
May you all enjoy your breaks from school and work, your holiday celebrations, and the coming new year.
HeartGold and SoulSilver Release Confirmed
- Jigglypuff at 10:50 pm PST 15 Dec 2009
After much hopeful speculation of a potential April Fool's Day release of HGSS in the US, we now have official confirmation that the release date is, in fact, March 14th, 2010.
And, as long as we're talking release dates, there's another new movie coming out in Japan next July. Roughly translated, it's called Phantom Champion Z.
Back to Work
- Jigglypuff at 9:07 pm PST 8 Dec 2009
Just a brief update for today. It's finals season which means that many members of the staff, myself included, are swamped with projects and exams.
However, I've still had a few minutes to put together another new video of some HeartGold gameplay. Another Rival battle! That Mareep I picked up not too long ago sure came in handy.
If you haven't done so yet, make sure you subscribe to our YouTube Channel to keep up with the videos before they get posted here!
In addition to the new video, you'll also find new Diamond and Pearl Game Maps, Diamond and Pearl Gym Maps and Platinum Gym Maps have been added. Now you can navigate your way through all the dungeons. And, stay tuned for even more game maps in the future!
When It Rains, It Pours
- Jigglypuff at 10:21 am PST 23 Nov 2009
No sooner do I finally manage to overcome internet issues at my end do we run into issues at the server end.
For the last several days, you may have noticed significant downtime. We are working hard with IGN to resolve this issue. At the moment, things appear stable. Once we're certain everything is back up and running smoothly, we will update again.
Thank you for bearing with us all during these server issues.
Resurfacing
- Jigglypuff at 10:35 pm PST 12 Nov 2009
Due to severe internet issues I've been unable to do what I need to do to update the site. I've worked out a temporary solution though.
So, since our last update, Frost has compiled all the information on the new Arceus TCG Set and added all that to the site.
Next up, some more Game Maps for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. We've now added Iron Island and Stark Mountain to the list.
And, since I wasn't able to directly update the site for so long, I decided to work on offline things to eventually update with. That means more videos for you. There are two of them from Azalea Town; the Team Rocket battle in the Slowpoke Well and the Gym Battle against Bugsy. You'll find them, and all our other videos, on our YouTube Channel. You can also view these two new ones below.
Update on Downtime
- Jigglypuff at 8:10 pm PST 25 Oct 2009
This is just a quick update to let you all know that we are aware of the downtime and site issues that you've all been experiencing. The new server still has a few bugs that need to be ironed out. Hopefully the downtime itself is over. However, as of right now the site itself isn't fully functional. Many pieces of the Psydex are still offline, but we hope to have them repaired soon.
Thank you for bearing with us as we work with the hosting guys to get this all sorted out. We should be back up and running again in no time!
PS: In the downtime, we've managed to collate some game maps from Pokemon Platinum. At the moment we have maps for Mt. Coronet and Victory Road, but Stark Mountain is also on the list of things to do. Since the layout between Platinum and Diamond/Pearl is so similar, we've placed the game maps page in both sections.
HeartGold, SoulSilver, NewServer
- Jigglypuff at 12:23 pm PST 22 Oct 2009
Hello again.
As you may have noticed, the site was down for maintenance for quite a while yesterday and early this morning. Our apologies. The reason we were offline was so that IGN could switch us over to a new server that should be much better equipped to run our site and the others hosted on it. The should not only improve site stability (so no more worrying about the site randomly going into maintenance) but also the overall speed, especially for complex pages like the Psydex.
To celebrate, I've got another video of HeartGold and SoulSilver to share with you all. This one is of the Violet City gym. Check out the new layout, the new music, and the gym battle itself. As an added bonus, you can also sample the new evolution music after the battle!
Want sneak peaks of what we're up to? Subscribe to our official YouTube Channel to get access to videos the minute we post them; before they get posted here on the site! And, coming soon, even more ways for you to be informed of what we're up to between posted updates!
More Rebuilding of Basic Site Features
- Jigglypuff at 9:45 pm PST 12 Oct 2009
It has been brought to my attention that it has been nearly 2 weeks since I last posted an update. My apologies; it's midterm season.
Anyway, since then, you may have noticed many changes all over the site. One of the most obvious is the changes we've made to the PicDex to now include the second frame of Generation 4 back sprites, and all the Overworld sprites, both in the menu screens and when following your character around in game.
For the rest of the Psydex, we've added all of the HeartGold and SoulSilver Tutored Moves as well. This rounds out the HGSS moves, save for a few special cases which will be addressed later.
We've got a few more things almost ready to show you, so stay tuned!
More Changes for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum
- Jigglypuff at 1:19 pm PST 30 Sep 2009
Unfortunately, the surprise I mentioned last update has been delayed due to some unforeseen issues on my end. But, I do bring good news related to another previous update.
Since there's currently a Shaymin Event running for everyone playing Pokemon Platinum, we've compiled a page to document WiFi Events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. This page exists in addition to the Legendaries Pages already posted for those games (which have themselves been updated). For non-WFC events, you'll still want to check the Legendaries page for your corresponding game, but for events like this one that involve downloading an item over Nintendo WFC, you may find the Events Page to be more useful!
Edit: Added the Toys R Us Regigigas that unlocks Regirock, Regice and Registeel in Platinum.
More Heart Gold and Soul Silver Updates
- Jigglypuff at 2:18 pm PST 27 Sep 2009
Shifting gears again, we've got some more stuff for HGSS to talk about.
First, we've added the spites for the Notched-Ear/Spikey-Ear Pichu to the Picdex. The rest of the Psydex has been updated to include the Locations for all the wild Pokemon in HGSS.
As far as content for the games themselves, we've added a list of all the TMs and HMs in HeartGold and SoulSilver to the site. There have also been a few changes made to how some Pokemon are captured. These locations are also shown in the PsyDex and have been collected for you on one page which also explains how they work.
Keep an eye on this spot. I may have another surprise for you in the next 24 hours.
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, and Mystery Dungeon News
- Jigglypuff at 10:35 am PST 24 Sep 2009
First up, a bit of news for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. If you missed out on your chance to receive a Shaymin at the last event, you're in luck. Starting on September 28th, through November 8th, there will be a WiFi giveaway. Full details can, as usual, be found on the official Pokemon Platinum site. I've summarized them for you here.
1. Make sure you've defeated the Champion and obtained the National Dex
2. Make sure you've activated the WiFi Mystery Gift at Jubilife TV station (answer "Everyone happy" and "WiFi Connection" when you talk to the Producer on the third floor).
3. When you start your game, pick Mystery Gift, then Receive Gift, and finally Via Nintendo WFC. Accept Oak's Letter. Once the game starts, head to a PokeMart and receive the letter, then save your game.
4. Head to Route 224 through Victory Road and take the newly opened path
5. At the end of Route 224, meet up with Oak at the stone tablet and head off with him to the Flower Paradise to capture Shaymin!
6. To change Shaymin's Forme, place it in your party and head to Floaroma Town. There, you will receive the Gracidea Flower.
7. To change back to Land Forme, either wait for nightfall, allow Shaymin to be frozen in battle, or deposit it into your PC. You can reuse the Gracidea Flower as many times as you'd like.
For our Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fans, more good news for you! A new game, Explorers of Sky, has been announced. You can find all the details at the official site. It releases in the US on October 12th. Most importantly, Wigglytuff plays a prominent role in this game, and I think we can all agree that this can only be a good thing.
