After a long 4 months, we've finally finished creating the new massive update for Pokemon Fighters EX! This update is pretty massive (hence the time taken to create), and I will try to go over as much of it as possible.

--ADDITIONS:
>Game Mode Hub
When you join PFE for the first time, you will notice that it looks much different than it normally does. Now, we have Game Modes. You can choose either PVP, Roleplay, or Tournaments. However, Tournaments is still being created and cannot be used. In PVP servers, you can gain more Experience and your attacks will damage other players. In Roleplay servers, you gain less Experience but attacks don't do damage. However, Summoning doesn't work and legendaries take longer to spawn in Roleplay Servers. It's really a matter of what you want to do: Roleplay or Fight others. If you're tired of people killing you, I highly suggest checking out RP.

>Game Loading Screen
In order to join the game, you must first click the "Load Data" button on your screen. This was added so that data won't be corrupted and/or lost in the case that Roblox Datastores crash again or a script breaks. If your data fails to load, it will display a message on your screen telling you so and will stop you from playing the game. Please take a screenshot of that message and send it to me on twitter @Uglypoe_RBLX

>Base Stats
Base Stats are a way to give different forms of pokemon different stats. This means that pokemon now can increase their stats by evolving! You can also gain new moves.

>Status Effect System
Before the update, a few of the attacks had status effects. Now, there is an official system to apply and remove status effects, meaning the game can become much more interesting. The system works in the same way as the real games, you can currently only have a max of two statuses at the same time: confusion and something else.
These effects include: Burn, Freeze, Paralyze, Poison, Sleep, and Confusion. Some pokemon are immune to some effects.

>Stages
This is a very interesting addition in the update. Now, some moves can increase or decrease a thing I like to call "Stages". There are Stages for each stat, and they can increase to a maximum of 6 or to a minimum of -6. They reset back to 0 when you die. When a stage is at 0, you have your normal stat. However, if you get it to say, stage 2, you'll have _DOUBLE_ that stat! With 6 stages max, you can find some interesting combinations that can dominate the game! Stages can increase or decrease through the use of moves. One move, called Acid Armor, increases the Defense stat by 2. Use it 3 times and you become an absolute tank!

>New Quest System
Before the update, we had a very bad quest system that would reset all of its information when you left or died. Now, we have an auto-saving quest system and quest log that carry over through death. You also now need to return to the quest giver after you complete their task.

>Mega Evolution
That's right, we added Mega Evolution. There isn't too much to say about it. If you get the mega stone for a certain pokemon, you unlock the ability to Mega Evolve into it! This increases some of their stats and changes how they look. Currently, Mega Stones can only be earned through Tournaments, the Shop, and Twitter Codes. We plan to make some spawn around the map shortly after the update.

>Shop
The new shop has opened its doors! Take a look at Meowth's Mad Deals, a shop in the center of the town that can sell anything from Thunder Stones to Slowbronites! All of these cost Pokebux, which I will be discussing soon. Twitter Codes are still kept in the shop, and are hooked up to my custom auto-update system, meaning I can add new codes whenever I want, and all servers will automatically have them! If you want to get a head start on collecting Pokebux, this code will give you 500: UPDATEHYPE

>New Map Parts/Changes
Some new areas have appeared on the map, such as a hidden Power Plant. Also, the Underground Laboratory has been upgraded to look much nicer than it did before. The Temporal Tower Dimension now has a new Temporal Tower and a bit of an Obstacle Course to get to it, and the lighthouse that used to be on the beach has been removed. Mostly just aesthetic changes and additions.

>Custom Trello API
I created a custom Trello API, meaning that I can auto-update several different things in the game. Currently, I have 3 things set up to autoupdate: Codes, Items in the Shop, and Bans.

>Code Expiration
Codes now have the ability to Expire, so I recommend redeeming as many valid ones as you can. Most current pokebux codes will expire within 2 weeks of the update coming out, as well as several pokemon codes such as Driflove and Illuminatu.

--CHANGES:
>Pokebux
Before the update, you could earn some Pokebux by waiting around as a Trainer. That feature has now been disabled due to the implementation of Shops. Now, you can earn Pokebux by either redeeming codes or by buying it in the shop. You can find the section to purchase Pokebux clicking on the gray '+' in the top right corner of the shop. In the future, we have plans to add a Daily Reward of Pokebux that stacks depending on consecutive days played.

>Attack System
Once you spawn as a pokemon, you will know what changed. Attacks have been changed from Roblox Tools to a GUI Interface. They still have normal keybinding. They also now have Types, which will come in later with the new Damage Calculator.

>Damage Calculator
The damage calculator has been upgraded to allow for far more scenarios than it did before the update. Some moves can now steal health from targets while others can use different combinations of Stats to attack. The system also now uses a complete modifier formula, meaning it uses STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), Type Matchups, Criticle Hits, and a Random Number between 0.85 and 1. This means that your damage will always be different against different pokemon.

>Day/Night Cycle
The Day/Night cycle is now based on how much time passes in the real world, meaning that each day will always last the same amount of time.

>Weather
For some reason, Rain was temporarily removed. I re-added Rain to the update so that people can evolve Sliggoo into Goodra.

>Running Shoes
Running shoes are for the most part the same as before the update. They are now located in the bottom-left corner when you are a Trainer. If you don't own them, they are dark black. Clicking on them will open a prompt that allows you to purchase them from in-game. When you own them, they will either be Red or Green. When red, they aren't activated, when green, they are.

>Admin Commands
Minor change, all staff in the fan group now automatically get 3 commands (!tp, !ws, !m) in the game.

>Colored Nametags
Nametags are now hooked up to the fan group, which you can find here: https://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=539558
By being in the group, your nametag will become a different color. The higher your rank, the more different your nametag color becomes!

>Morphs and Model Display
Morphs are now kept in ServerStorage, which means it will not have as much of an impact on the client as it used to. However, this comes with a price. Models will now take longer to appear when you are on the choosing screen (around 1 second or so). Shouldn't affect the game in any way other than to reduce potential lag.

>Upgraded Choosing Screen
I remade the entire choosing screen to look nicer and be more efficient. Instead of a script for every single button, 1 script runs all buttons. Should result in less lag.

--REMOVALS:
>Some Moves
During the update, I deemed it fit to remove two moves instead of re-making them. These two moves were Hail and Vine Whip. This shouldn't impact overall gameplay however, as I created many more moves to replace them!

>Zygarde Event
The Zygarde Event ran for several months longer than expected, and is now over. If you didn't manage to get atleast 50 cells or both Cores this time, it will possibly happen again in the future. Zygarde Cells may also appear in the shop from time to time.




That's about all I can remember of this new Pokemon Fighters EX update. If you like the game, please leave us a Thumbs Up and join the Fan Group, you guys are the reason that this can all happen. Thanks!

Adding onto original post:

--CHANGES:
>New Save System
The new save system now saves your pokemon every 60 seconds and when you leave. It saves their level AND their Experience. This was done so that the servers will hopefully not lag as much.

Data is automatically converted over into the new system the first time you join. All pokemon will save, but all items except Zygarde Cells will be lost.
