For some reason Shiny Jynx sprite doesn't show it's dress up:


It should look like this:


I've tested F5, different browsers (Firefox & Chrome, both newest versions) and tried editing/saving the dress up from both browsers. Also tried it from two different computers / IPs and it still doesn't change so this have to be bug/error.

DOTW has a lot of them. I'm only on Task 4 for my first runthrough, but Task 1 and Task 3 both spell Grepa/Gripa's name differently. Task 4's last line is "You get to your feet and summon your Pokémon: Emboar, Noivern, Barbaracle, Altaria, and Girafarig" which should have a period at the end. Also, the task is "—Have Pokémon Emboar, Noivern, Barbaracle, Altaria, and Girafarig in your party at level 100" when it should be "Have the Pokémon Emboar, Noivern, Barbaracle, Altaria, and Girafarig in your party at level 100".

I just noticed something very strange when checking something in the pokédex...

Why does the pokédex say, that the Mismagius Master of Illusions form always breeds novelties?
Unlike some other similar novelties it seems to be able to breed, but it should breed normal Misdreavus eggs.

That applies to all novelties you get by using an item on an already hatched pokemon. I've rationalized this as the indication stating whether the pokemon will breed eggs of the same kind as itself. Since the egg for Mismagius Master of Illusions is just a regular Misdreavus eggs, it's saying that it will always breed those. Of course it's wrong, but I figured that's why.

That may be the reason... After all, they do breed their own eggs. It's just that those eggs are not novelty eggs.


Another thing about these novelties, that should be a bug, is that they don't list their pre-evolutions.
They have the section on the pokédex where the evolves to, and evolves from pokémon should be listed, but it's empty for some reason.
I couldn't check it for every similar novelty, but the previous form is missing for Mismagius Master of Illusions, Pikachu [Ph.D.], and Cherrim [Frost].

The strangest thing among these is that among the alternate forms of Vivillion [Love] form, the Meadow form is missing.

That's because there isn't a previous form for those Pokémon. They're obtained by using items on their respective counterpart. The Vivillon forms are canon (minus the Love form, but isn't classed as a Novelty for some reason).

Check your Pokédex on the respective forms and you'll see you need items to obtain them.

In that case, Pinkan Rhyhorn, and Pudgy Pidgey shouldn't have previous forms either. But they do.

In cases like Autumn Tropius, or Lapras, there is no section for evolutions in the pokédex. Because they don't have any.
Cherrim [Frost] does have a previous evolution, and it also has the section that should list it. But it's empty. It says "Hover over an icon for evolution information!" but there are no icons.

Whether they have previous forms or not, and whether it should be listed or not, there is a bug. If it should be listed, then the bug is, that it isn't. If it shouldn't, then the bug is, that the empty section is there.

ed.: About Vivillion: The Love form lists all other Vivillion forms as alternate forms, except the original Meadow form.

The ones that are listed are ones that happen to come as an egg. If you notice, Cherrim isn't the base form, but Pinkan Rhyhorn and Pudgy Pidgey start off from corrupting an egg.

Every entry has the evolution section box, because that's just how the Pokédex is laid out, regardless if they evolve or not. There could be a novelty form for something at some point, which is more than likely why each entry has one, even if it couldn't.

But the main thing is the novelties that don't have a previous evolution is because the novelty counterpart is technically an alternate form. I understand the novelty itself in this case doesn't have a 'previous form', but it's really due to it:

1. Not being the base form
2. Being a novelty based form change
3. They're also one time form changes

In regards to Vivillon [Love], I'd imagine that's just something that was forgotten to be included. I'm not too sure, but I don't think it's too big of an issue personally.

I know, I also consider this kind of an "annoying little detail". Not really important, but worth pointing it out.

But something is just not working properly here. It's one thing, that every pokédex entry has the box for evolutions, but for entries like Lapras, it doesn't appear, and take up space. For entries like Cherrim [Frost], an empty box appears on their pokédex page.

I undestand that these novelty counterparts work differently, but that shouldn't stop their pokédex from revealing how they form change, and from what pokémon.

It's because they've 'evolved' from the canon counterpart, that's why it's there. It has a previous form but you can't reverse the process for certain Pokémon, so there's no need to put in the previous form. The text in brackets implies that it's a form change.

For example: 'Mismagius [Master of Illusions] - There is more than enough implication that it's based off of Mismagius, so all the information is under the Mismagius dex entry. It's just how it's worked since they started introducing these things. There's no real need to make it any more obvious, really.

In the case of Lapras, in the canon series it doesn't evolve. Miltank didn't have one until Chocolate Miltank was introduced. Then it gained one. If, by some chance, there's ever a pre-evolution, evolution or novelty counterpart, an evolution box will be introduced. Without the evolution box in the case of Cherrim [Frost], one may assume it isn't obtained by an 'evolution'.

It's definitely a bug, Sam, and I think I've narrowed it down.

All Pokemon that are missing entries in their "Evolutions/Forme" panel fall into two rough categories:
- The Novelty Pokemon permanently changes from a canon Pokemon who has a previous canon evolution: Cosplay Pikachu (form change from Pikachu, evolves from Pichu), Mismagius Master (form change from Mismagius, evolves from Misdreavus), and the Weather Cherrim (form change from Cherrim, evolves from Cherubi). On the other hand, Dreident evolves directly from Litwick, and even "obvious" changes such as the Snowmen Kalos Starters show their information.
- Sheared Mareep. So far the only thing I see is that the first of its line is a "form change", which then goes on to have a full set of evolutions. Contrast this with Dreident, who evolves from a Canon Pokemon. No other form change Pokemon evolve (Spiral Shellder, e.g.,)

Now given all this, I don't know why they would be prevented from having entries in their Evolution fields, but they do.

First sentence of DOTW task 11: "It was hard work and took longer than expected, but all of the PokÉmon hatched and are happily playing at your feet." The e shouldn't be capitalized.

Hello again, bug report page!

Right now, I'm on the 6th Task of Treasures of the Orange Island, and I noticed a... Well, I consider it a bug.

In the 5th task I rescued a poor paralyzed Spring Cyndaquil, and I got help from kind people to cure it by feeding it a lot of berries. After it was cured, I progressed to the next task, and right now I'm taking him home.
But the poor Cyndaquil still has the paralyzed status!
Someone, please help out the poor Cyndaquil, by correcting this bug, and removing the status when the task to heal it is completed!

In all seriousness, though it's just a minor thing, I think it would make the explorations a bit better if these status effects were really healed. (Though maybe it's just this one. Honestly, I didn't pay attention to it most of the time.)

ed.: After I advanced to task 7, the Cyndaquil was healed. So it should be only a bug for this one case. It seems like it gets healed at the wrong time.

Upon evolution, Palpitoad is displayed as a pure Water type.

That happens for everything, just refresh and the displayed type will be corrected.

TIL Sandy Cloak Wormadam is huuuuuuuuge!

It's not just the Sand cloak one... the Steel cloak Wormadam is also huge. But that one is really light too.

Height: 90.5 m (296'11")
Weight: 0.0 kg (0 lbs)

I have found a small bug/exploit.
The Glitch City achievement's requirement is to have all forms of MissingNo. in your party, and 128 of any one item.
I was looking through my achievements when I noticed, that my counter for Glitch City is at 1/5. I found it strange, since I didn't have any MissingNo. in my party, so I checked my inventory. And I saw the 999 Sweet Honey from the Honey+

I am 99% sure that the admins rarely touch GPX+ mobile, but clicking View More Eggs, Egg Shelter or Safari Zone on the bookmarked version that runs like an app (I forgot what it was called exactly) redirects to the mobile browser version of GPX+ in the same page.

I'm actually not sure what you're referring to, off the top of my head, but maybe this has something to do with the SSL change made last night?

Are you able to update or recreate those bookmarks? Having it use the "https://" version of the URL directly should prevent an automatic redirect.
