Just go to your User Control Panel -> Profile -> Edit Profile

Note: These numbers will also affect the number of Private Messages displayed, Search Results, and the number of users displayed in the Online List.

• When leveling high level basic adopts, they no longer skip an evolution.

For example, if you have a level 284 Bulbasaur with an Everstone, it won't evolve but as soon as you take it away and it gets clicked once, it evolved into Venusaur. Now when you click it once, it will become Ivysaur and will require a second click to become Venusaur.

I have made a few changes to the Pokedex.

• The Top 50 Users with Unique Johto list has been replaced with Sinnoh

• The number of adoptables in existence has been changed slightly. It now displays 2 different numbers for both normal and shiny. The first number does not count adoptables that are owned by a banned user. The second number counts them all, banned or not. There is also a hint next to the numbers in case your forget. If there is only one number, it means that no one owns it and is banned. We hope this gives you a better idea of how many are actually available to trade for.

• The user rankings for the top 10 people with the adoptable and top 3 highest level adopts do not display banned users anymore either.

Two new features have been added to the PC.

• Each adoptable now has a date of adoption. This is the day that the adoptable was obtained. Older adoptables will display unknown because there is no way to obtain the information on when they were adopted.

• Autoname is a new feature for each Pokemon adoptable. If this is enabled, it will automatically rename that adoptable to its Pokemon name. For example, you have a Bulbasaur with autoname on. When someone evolves it into Ivysaur, it will automatically be renamed to Ivysaur for you. This also includes trading on the GTS and using evolutionary stones. Eggs and promotional adopts are not included as they do not evolve and there is no reason for their name to be changed from what you named it.

Few changes going on:

For those of you who won a prize in the Christmas Contest, you have already noticed this. We are now starting to use a new promo code system that contains letters and numbers. Old codes containing only numbers still work. The new codes look like this:
XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (dashes are required to receive prizes)

We are also making changes to the feeding system, specifically leveling up, to make it easier for us to update later on with new adoptables. The CE is currently running on this new system. It also patched a problem with Chansey evolving straight to Blissey without an item.

These chances will slowly be rolled out site wide over the next few days.

I have changed the news (index) page. The only difference you, the users, will see is only 15 pieces of news are displayed at a time. If you scroll to the very bottom of the page under the last piece of news, you will see a link that will take you to view all news that has ever been posted.

I have added a new game to the Game Corner called Hangman.

For those of you who do not know how to play Hangman, each "_" represents a character in a word (English). You have to figure out what that word is, but only one letter at a time. If you guess wrong 6 times, you lose, and the word will be shown to you.

If you solve the word with less than 4 wrong letters, you have a chance to win a free adoptable that was traded into the Trade Point.

Feedback/Bugs should be reported in the appropriate forum.

After reading many complaints of no 2ND star on the recent release of Shaymin, we have decided to add a new promo star to help clarify pre-release promos that are distributed to a limited number of users before everyone has the chance. It can be seen below on a Shaymin in sky form.
