Hi there guys/gals, its been a long time since I updated Pokemansion for the last time. The development for Pokemansion v2.0 is going smoothly, and this time I decide not to update the site with multiple-features all at once. The planned features will show up one by one whenever they are completed. At this early stage of Pokemansion v2.0, which I call it Alpha 1, we've added Pokemon from Fifth Gen and a shoutbox. Here are all the planned features for Pokemansion v2.0

1. Pokemon Fifth Gen: Completed
2. Shoutbox System with WYSISYG Editor: Completed
3. Pokedex System: In development
4. Experience System(an upgrade from current clicks system): In development
5. Food and Hunger System: In development
6. Safari Zone Exploration(also optimization of fishing pool): In development

Please visit the forum at http://www.pokemonmysidia.com/forum if you need further support. Also the shoutbox can be accessed at:

Its been a long time since Pokemansion v1.8 was made official, isnt it? But anyway, here comes the Pokemansion v1.9. As many of you have seen from the preview thread, Pokemansion v1.9 has the following new features below:

1. Pokemon Daycare System: Yes, Pokemansion has a functioning Daycare System now. Here you can deposit two pokemon in the daycare center, owned by the daycare old couple. Pokemon stored at Daycare Center can raise levels after a certain amount of time, which may seem to be a good choice for users who cannot keep an eye on their pokemon everyday to level them up. However, there are still a few restrictions. You can only deposit two pokemon at one time, and the deposited pokemon will not be eligible for clicking and trading. Keep in mind that you will have to spend $200 Mysidian Dollars for each level increase in daycare center. Also breeding can only occur automatically after certain period of time at Daycare Center, which shall be explained next.

2. Pokemon Breeding System: This is the biggest gift from Pokemansion v1.9, as you may have expected. Breeding is an important feature for all adoptables sites, pokemon or not. Pokemon breeding system is rather complicated since the introduction of egg groups, especially dual-egg groups adds too much flexibility to it. Still, it is fun to work on a Pokemon breeding system. Note Breeding occurs at Pokemon Daycare Center, so you will need to have two pokemon of opposite gender but the same egg group to make it happen. A detailed information of this egg groups concept can be found from Bulbapedia. This system works for both breeding within the same species or interbreeding among pokemon of the same egg groups.

3. Improved Itemshop, Evolution and Happiness System: Pokemansion v1.9 also fixes a few issues from the earlier versions of Pokemansion. It was initially not possible to buy multiple items from the shop before, nor could any items be sold back to itemshop. Moreover, the itemstock does not increase over time so members have been complaining that evolution stones and trade items were almost out of stock. Pokemansion v1.9 solves these three main issues regarding the old itemshop, also a few new items have been added to the database(not all of them are purchasable from itemshop though. The level-based evolution system, on the other hand, has been upgraded so that it leads to a change of pokemon's species name upon evolution, instead of just variation of images. With the new happiness system, your pokemon's happiness increments every 12 hours and every rise in level. Grooming is still the most important way to raise pokemon's happiness, but its not the only way now.

4. Itemdrop upon clicking on Pokemon: Itemdrop is actually a quite unique feature to pokemon series, but I decided to give it a try since I believe it would work out in the way I want it to be. In Pokemansion v1.9, users have certain chance to retrieve an item by clicking on someone else's pokemon(not his/her own pokemon though). Apparently valuable items such as Nuggets and Rare Bones are harder to discover than pokeballs and stardusts. In order to drop important items by clicking on pets, you will need certain degree of luck. But anyway, I hope this will encourage more and more people to click on other people's pets and exchange clicks. I've also added a new category of items called Valuable items, which has no use but can be sold to itemshop for rather high price. In future we will be having more categories of items for users to use or trade.

5. Enhanced user profiles and hot 25 stats system: In Pokemansion v1.9, users profile has been significantly improved with the addition of avatars and additional profile fields. The site stats system, called Hot 25 here, has been dramatically improved and it will display a list of pokemon and trainers on various bases. Profile Customization is not available at this moment, but I am seriously considering this possibility in Pokemansion v2.0. This is a huge step to make, since I have just realized the importance of turning Pokemansion from an extremely pets-oriented site to a pets-trainers integrated site. This way you not only enjoy raising pokemon as pets, but also enjoy yourself as a trainer.



Again I'd like to express my appreciation to members who have been supporting and checking out pokemansion everyday. It still needs a load of works to become an excellent and popular adoptables site, but I am sure this can be done. Life is getting harder as a college junior, I try my best to work hard on it as I've been doing before. Have a nice day everyone!

I am sorry to have you guys/gals waiting for this long after official preview was made available. We were having trouble integrating Elec's template into PokeMansion's style system, and it had been resolved just a few hours ago. So cheers, here comes PokeMansion version 1.8! New features introduced in this release are:


1. A brand new design of Template: As many of you have seen, PokeMansion has finally made a huge leap on its site layouts. Thanks to our amazing artist and coder Elec, the template will be used to replace the old default one. The navbar now has seven parent items with child items embeded into drop down menu. The only problem right now is that it messes up our map system, but for now we dont really need a map at all with drop down menu. I will fix this problem someday, and for now just get used to the dropdown menu system. Also I added tons of child items in navbar such as Daycare and Breeding, which currently link to nowhere, but these are signs on what scripts I may be working on in recent future.

2. Pokemon Happiness and Happiness-based Evolution System: Yes, happiness system is now available on PokeMansion, which also gives rises to the idea of Happiness-based Evolution system. So cheers if you have a Pichu or Riolu! The Happiness has a default value of 100, which can be increased through grooming at this moment. In future we will have more ways to raise happiness, or even possibilities for Happiness value to drop. Note you can only groom the same pokemon once per day, and it is not free! For now the three groomers are:
Daisy: Haircut Younger-Brother: Haircut Older-Brother:

3. New items Pokeballs and Fishing Rods: They do sound interesting, dont they? PokeMansion does not have a comprehensive battle system yet, and it wont happen in recent future. But how come Pokeballs are already there? Well the idea is that we can still have other types of encounter systems in recent future, such as Safari and Bug Contests. For now the only three types of pokeballs offered are Pokeballs, Greatballs and Ultraballs, with different catch rate of course. Fishing Rods are another type of items added to the database, which can only be obtained by taking fishing quiz at this moment.

4. Fishing and Pokemon Catch Rate System: PokeMansion actually gets its own Fishing System before our PO server? Yes, your eyes aint lying to you, PokeMansion has a fishing system now. It is my first ever attempt on a pokemon random encounter and collection system. The script file is rather long, since it accounts for diversities of Pokemon species, Fishing rods and Pokeballs. So yes, the species of pokemon you can fish are determined by the rod you are using. Old Rods only get you Magikarp, with Goldeen and Tentacool appearing occasionally. Good Rods and Super Rods, however, can bring you various species of Water Pokemon. For now the flaw is that you only receive a pokemon egg instead of a hatched pokemon, and it will be fixed someday. Also keep in mind that the catch rates of pokemon depend on the pokeballs you are using and the species you are trying to capture. It is a waste of money to use Ultraball on Magikarp, but sure you dont want to throw tens of Pokeballs on Dratini and keep receiving this message: Oh no, the Pokemon Broke free! Detailed instructions of fishing are provided in the preview thread.

5. Pokelab and Starter Pokemon System: Well this was not really planned for this version 1.8, but since I had time to kill last night I decided to give it a try. It ended up pretty well though, and I've successfully created a new page called Research lab for newbies to adopt their first pokemon from Prof Oak, Elm, Birch or Rowan. Some of you may not be happy at this though, since it means no starter pokemon can be adopted from our general Adoption Center anymore. Since only users who have not adopted any pokemon can receive starters from Research Lab, I will make a thread for users who have been here for a while but yet to receive a starter to request for a starter pokemon. It will be available possibly tomorrow, and post in the thread to lemme know what starter pokemon you want. ^^


I wanna thank all of you who stick to me and PokeMansion even when updates are slow. School has been quite of an issue for me to work on any of my internet projects, but I try to put my limited time into best use. The site is nothing without supporters like you.

I am sure many of you have been waiting for this. So yeah, PokeMansion version 1.7 has officially become available to Mysidians now. The basic new features introduced in this version are:

1. Trade System: As is shown in the PokeMansion v1.7 update thread, trade is now available for PokeMansion users. In the 'Trainer Info' tab you will find two new additions called 'New Trade' and 'Manage Trade'. I will illustrate on how to trade a pokemon later in this thread. Also the trade icon has been replaced by the palpad, as is shown below:


2. New types of Items(trade items) introduced: I have just added another type of items in PokeMansion, which is referred to as trade items. Unlike Evolution stones, trade items cannot be used on a pokemon of your own in your inventory. It exists for the sole purpose of assisting you in a trade for certain species of pokemon to evolve, at least this is what it is for now. Many of you know that trade items actually boosts a pokemon's stats, and we will try to implement this effect too in future as pokemon stats become available.

3. Item-Trade Integration: Nowadays it is possible to trade items too. All you have to do here is attach an item of yours in a trade so that you can send it to your friend together with your pokemon. For now only trade starters can send items to trade receivers though. We may also consider a possibility to attach items on pokemon in future, which will make your life a lot easier. But do not expect this to happen soon, since it is not really my top priority for pokemansion's new features at this point.

4. Trade based Evolution System: This does sound exciting, isnt it? Yes, you can trade your Pokemon such as Kadabra and Haunter for them to evolve into Alakazam and Gengar after a trade. Trade-item evolution system is available too, as you can attach a dragonscale on your seadra or a metalcoat on your Onix for them to evolve into Kingdra and Steelix after a trade. In the meantime, you will also forward your trade item to your friend. Just send a trade request to your friend to test it out if you dont believe me.

Again, thanks for reading this thread and I am sure PokeMansion will have a bright future with support from all of you. We will begin working on the next update of PokeMansion after about one to two weeks bugs/glitches fixing process, so please do let us know if something goes wrong with the trade system.

Well this may not come to you as a surprise, but PokeMansion's upgrade to version 1.6 has been completed. New features in this version are:

1. A new skin/template design: A new skin and CSS system made by our beloved staff administrator Electra, who got a Jirachi as a reward for her excellent work. The layout may undergo a new design too in future, but we do plan to use the banner, footer and css system Electra made forever.

2. 4th Gen Pokemon addition completed: Yes, we've successfully added all available 4th Gen Pokemon in PokeMansion, as you may have seen from Green13's Roserade and Togekiss. Thanks to Nesan, who did all these hard and boring work within one single day and got another Jirachi as his reward. lol why do they both prefer Jirachi?

3. Itemshop glitch fixed: As you might've known, the item and inventory system in version 1.5 had a bug that it couldnt distinguish items from different users. Also only the first item could be displayed in inventory.php. These are all successfully fixed in the new version of PokeMansion, as you can enjoy our new item system to the fullest.

4. First map for Pokemansion added: You may have noticed that PokeMansion now has a map in which you can almost explore any accessible areas on the site. The map system is not perfect yet, which shall be updated in future versions. This is a huge step for PokeMansion though, I hope you all enjoy.


Anyway, version 1.6 is a rather small update for PokeMansion. The next big update for PokeMansion is version 2.0, which will enable trade and trade-based evolution system(Kadarba, Machoke, for instance). We will also be working on animated sprites, breeding system, Advanced map system and other features for PokeMansion, but we've yet to decide whether to make a version 1.7 and 1.8 or 2.1 or 2.2. It depends on how long it takes to complete trade system.

Thanks for reading this thread everyone, and I am so glad PokeMansion has been a success for me so far. We will keep working on this promising project, and update you whenever we can. ^^

As you may have known, I am gonna open PokeMansion v1.5 for the public today. Key features of PokeMansion v1.5 are:

1. Cash system: With cash, you will be able to purchase items as many as you please. The currency is named Mysidian Dollar, you will need to click on yours or others pokemon in order to gain Mysidian Dollars. Also converting your forum experience points to cash is another way to earn money on PokeMansion.

2. Items and Itemshops: Yes, from now on you will be able to buy items for your pokepets. The only types of items available in version 1.5 is evolution stones, and we will add more in future. Itemshop is where you should visit in order to buy items, and keep in mind they are costly.

3. Enhanced Evolution System: With the addition items and itemshops, it is now possible to evolve Pokemon like Growlithe and Poliwhirl. The item-based evolution is a rare feature for adoptable sites, and I hope you all like it. We will be adding trade-based evolution system in next version.

4. Pokecenter System: PokeMansion version 1.5 will officially introduce the Pokecenter system. For now it only acts as a place in which nurse joy helps you evolve certain species(Ralts, Oddish and Poliwag for instance). The functions of Pokecenter will become a lot more important when Pokemon health is made available in future.

Also here are the urls to access new webpages in PokeMansion v1.5:
