Bug Catching Contest and Transit Quality of Life changes

February 5, 20197 yr

Hello people!

Two big features of Pokemon Revolution Online have received Quality of Life changes! That is, their main features haven't changed, but they should be more usable to use!

Bug Catching Contest

- The cooldown is now server based, and resets at Midnight on server time.

- You can now choose any Bug Pokemon for your Catcher Pokemon! Even a Pokemon available in the contest itself such as Parasect is allowed! Of course, you can't submit it as your caught Pokemon.

- You also no longer need to deposit your Pokemon before entering the contest. The NPCs will take care of depositing Pokemon other than your chosen Catcher Pokemon, and restore them after you leave the contest. Caught Pokemons will thus automatically be deposited into your Boxes.

- The Bug Pokemon Remover became the Bug Pokemon Manager. On top of releasing, he also allows you to withdraw up to the 5 latest Bug Pokemon that were sent to your Boxes due to full party. He is also present at the Contest Hall, so you don't need to spend precious Contest time speaking to him.

- NPC Contestants now have more realistic catches. Each of them simulate a different catching strategy and have odds according to it.

- Scoring a tie against an NPC gives you rewards for the position you have tied for.

- Venipede is now a 1st place reward, while Kricketot is now a 2nd place reward.

- Genesect requirements have been lowered to 500 hours and 140 total IV catch. Furthermore, the high IV catch requirement can be completed before the hour requirement, and you are now given time to fetch your Syncs!

Transit NPCs

-NPCs will always tell you if you have an active Transit Pass. No more "It's going to cost money unless you have a Transit Pass".

-The ordering of locations is now always in story order.

-Regional transits allow you to choose 3 Favorite cities that will appear on the main page.

-The Saffron-Goldenrod Train now tells you before entering if you can go to Trainers Valley or not.

-Inter-region ferry will grey out locations you are unable to access. Selecting them will of course explain why you cannot access them yet.
