Update #1: Mobile Achievements page is online!

Update #2: Your skin selection on the main site (other than random, sorta) will carry over to the Mobile site now. There isn't a skin selector yet, however.

Update #3: I've done a bit of an overhaul on the PC page, so it should hopefully be a lot easier to use. I've also lifted any sort of requirement to beta-test the site... that being said, keep in mind that many features are still missing or incomplete, and moreover, the only officially supported platforms at this point in time are Android 2.0+ and iOS 4.0+, so if you are using neither of these operating systems, it's entirely possible that certain features don't work properly. If you visit the mobile site from your mobile device, but end up redirected to the main site, you're probably using some niche device that it doesn't recognize by default as valid... go to http://gpxplus.net/agent *ON YOUR PHONE/MOBILE DEVICE* (apparently this wasn't clear...) if this happens, post the User Agent string here, and I'll fix it up for you, yup yup.

Update #4: *Some* items may now be used... namely, Repel, Sweet Honey, Fossils, Summons, Dowsing MCHN, Discount Coupon and Odd Incense. They can either be activated in your inventory or from any page using the item activation dialogue, which has an icon in the header (the suitcase one). Regardless of where you activate the item from, once you do, you'll automagically be redirected to the relevant page... Lab for summons, Shop for Discount Coupon, and so on, yup yup.

Update #5: The "Move to PC" options has been slightly tweaked to allow you to move Pokemon anywhere, not just your PC... for this change (and as a general note, for pretty well any update ever to take full effect for you), you'll need to make sure you manually reload the entire page (not just pressing the reload icon in the corner to reload that specific section, or anything), yup yup.

Update #6: The Mobile Dex is online... I need to come up with a better way to handle selecting which Pokemon to view, but other than that, it's pretty well done, yup yup.

Update #7: I've added the ability to, rather than having select all the Pokemon in your party (Mobile Walker) to release/hatch, the ability to do so with just one button press. Also, I've added a section to the PC, wherein you can manage all the Pokemon in there at once, the same way you would your Party Pokemon, yup yup.

Update #8: I've added in the ability for Heart Scales and Flame Orbs to be used... rather than a separate option, like on the main site, if you have any in your possession, you'll automatically be able to release/hatch an otherwise ineligible Pokemon normally, though using the item, however it will notify you when doing so will use one of those items, yup yup.

Update #9: I've made some tweaks to the site as for it to better make use of the larger displays on tablet devices. These tweaks work best on iPads running iOS5, though any supported browser should be fine. I've added another screenshot down below showing the tweaks.

Update #10: I've finished the help page; I've also added in Trinkets and Battle Tower, though the former is non-functional, and the latter only permits Pokemon to be withdrawn from it. Poke Hunt entries can also now be submitted on the mobile site, and I'll be trying to get a Poke Hunt page up by the end of this hunt. I've also made the main site start redirecting to the mobile one automagically for mobile devices, though if you prefer to disable this redirection, there's a link on the main page to do so, yup yup.

Update #11: I've made some improvements to how the site runs when an iOS users adds it to their home screen; there's a new, high-res icon that'll look a lot more crisp on retina iPhones and iPads (compare: http://i.imgur.com/Xdimn.png), as well as much nicer-looking, new splash screen and a few other minor tweaks. If you're an iOS user, for the best experience, it is recommended you use the "Add to Home Screen" option to run the site in a standalone browser; if you were already doing this, it's recommended you delete your bookmark and readd it. In addition to this, I've also made the Poke Hunt page operational, and (finally) added the ability to find items and Exploration items, though not chests et al. yet... though they should hopefully be soon, yup yup.

Update #12: The mobile accessory shop is now online. For all pages on which the "Pokemon options" select box displays (Party, Mobile Walker, PC, Battle Tower, and now Daycare as well), I've added an option for moving all Pokemon at once, as it is on the main site. I've also reordered the Daycare page, putting eggs on top so you don't need to scroll down to reach them. I've added a new footer bar (which will stay fixed at the bottom of your screen if you're on a supported device), which will be used to display the Pokemon options select, as well as different sections on certain pages (Shelter, Shop, as well as Battle Tower, Trinkets and Shine Recorder when they're online). Finally, I've made some performance improvements for iOS users who have saved the site to their home screen, yup yup.

Update #13: I had wanted to finish this up sooner so it'd be available before the start of the Site-wide shiny race this month, but all the same, the Shine Recorder is now available on the mobile site, yup yup!

Update #14: The Prize Shop is now usable, as are Vouchers, yup yup.

Update #15: I've redone the Stats page to make it more usable and revamped the Pokedex as well. When you're adopting a Pokemon or Egg in the Shelter, the box confirming if you want to do so will now tell you what it is, yup yup.

Update #16: Sprites, and alt sprites unlocked are now displayed in the Pokedex. I've also added a option to load more Pokemon once you finish a batch in the Berry Feeder, yup yup.

Update #17: Pass Powers are now usable. I've made some graphical tweaks, and made some improvements so the site should work better in Opera and Firefox mobile, yup yup.

Update #18: Pokechests can now be opened (but other Trinket-related features are still unavailable), yup yup.

This has been under development on and off for quite a while now, and at this point, it's ready for a public beta: GPX+ Mobile, a mobile-optimized version of the website!

The mobile version of the site presently targets devices with iOS or Android exclusively - it theoretically should work fine on other devices, but users of both these two platforms (specifically iOS, due to some minor quirks in Android's browser) will have the best experience... and I have no way, at present, to test on anything else, so there's no way of telling if something doesn't work properly or not.

Although the site is being released to the public now, it's not entirely complete, there are a few features that are still missing - namely, the ability to view and unlock Achievements, your Pokedex, a Help page, and your Journal, as well as the ability to use most items (Repel, Summons, Fossils, Shine Recorder, etc.), but the majority of the site is usable.

There's also a new way to raise your Pokemon and eggs available presently, exclusively through the mobile site - the Mobile Walker. You can deposit up to three Pokemon or Eggs in the Mobile Walker at a time, and then activate your Mobile Walker once per hour, upon which they'll gain steps or experience points based on how far you've traveled since the previous activation.

Since this is just a public beta, it won't be initially available to all users - only users on devices with iOS or Android, who have been registered for 120 days or more will have access initially, though once it's been tested, and more work has been done, it'll be available to everybody.

To access the site, visit http://m.gpxplus.net/ on your mobile device (though after the final release, http://gpxplus.net/ will redirect to the mobile site automagically).

And finally, for the users who aren't able to use this at present, here are a few screen shots as well:






Be sure to report any bugs or issues, and to make any suggestions in the appropriate forums. Also, please tag the topic titles for all GPX Mobile-related threads with [mobile] so that it's easy to distinguish them from threads about the main site, yup yup!
