Hi people, just wanted to update you on some upcoming changes.
First of all, the next beta version will be
Pokémon White Deluxe beta version 0.85.
In this version, you can play through the
Victory Road and battle the trainers there. You also get a chance to pick up several valuable items.
After that, you can finally battle the
Elite Four! I can reveal that
Marshal, the Fighting-type Elite Four Member, is back to battle against your Pokémon!
But there are many more changes coming in beta version 0.85 that are worth an entire replay of the game:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the final version, ALL routes will be edited in a
Pokémon Platinum Deluxe kind of way (check out the screenshots of Pokémon Platinum Deluxe). For example, other Trainers will appear on the Routes (i.e. other Trainer Classes, sometimes even extra Trainers). The Trainers are located on the map differently, and some of them will battle you ''
Emerald style'' (another example
right here).
The
Youngster Trainer Class will have his outfit renewed. Oh, and better not forget about the introduction of
Bug Catchers! Yes, they have returned! There were no Bug Catchers in Black & White which is a shame, if you ask me. Now, they have returned with both a male and a female version! Other new Trainer Classes include the
Sailor and the
Aroma Lady.
Furthermore, Berries will play a bigger role in the hack. Just like in R/S/E/D/P/Pt, there will be
Berry Trees around Unova this time! Too bad you can't plant any Berries your own, but you can actually pick them up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.85 will probably have the first couple of Routes updated like this - up to Route 4, probably.
Another update for version 0.85 is that
evolution methods will no longer be exclusive to either day or night (except for Gligar, Sneasel and Dusclops).
The final version will probably also have
edited TMs. For example, TM Giga Drain, Roost and Stealth Rock will return.
For now, that's it! You can expect version 0.85 to be released somewhere around the
first week of June. I know... That's more than a month. But I've got exams this month (May) so I won't be able to do anything. I'm sorry for that. Anyway, I hope you're just as eagerly awaiting this release as I am!
