It has been a long time since the last website update, and this one is a big one. The whole site has been rebuilt from the ground up with a new design, and we have added several features you have been asking for.

New

  • Completely redesigned the website with a fresh look on every page
  • Brought back the dark and light theme toggle, with your choice saved for next time
  • My Save is now live. If your Game Jolt account is linked, you can view your party, boxes, bag, Pokédex, Hall of Fame, trophies and more
  • You can request help with a broken game save and track the request from your account
  • Unlock profile backgrounds by earning emblems in the game
  • Member profiles can show more than one Pokédex
  • Follow resources and get notified when they get an update
  • Resource authors can link an external download instead of only uploading a file
  • Search, sort and filter the member list
  • Link your Game Jolt account from your profile settings
  • You can now log in with your forum account
  • Reviews can be submitted from the review page

Improvements

  • Redesigned the menu, home page, blog, members, resources, servers and skins
  • Member profiles show more of your game progress, including party, stats and trophies
  • Servers show when they were last online, and you can reactivate an inactive server
  • Skin cards can preview animated skins
  • Rebuilt the notifications page
  • Updated the legal pages and the privacy policy
  • Expanded Dutch translations, including items, natures and abilities

Fixes

  • Fixed loading an empty game save on a user profile
  • Fixed several game save sync issues, including eggs and ability names
  • Fixed dark mode issues on profile tabs and server cards
  • Made the Pokédex seen icon match the caught icon
  • Blocked disposable and spam email addresses on registration

Removed

  • Removed Facebook and Twitter login
  • Removed the old website achievements system
  • Removed the status page
  • Removed importing a skin from an external ID

Minor changes

  • Rebuilt the frontend and upgraded the backend so we can keep shipping updates more easily
  • Bumped a bunch of packages for both frontend and backend to make sure we are up to date
