![]() As features broke, they simply stopped being repaired or replaced. Gameplay updates were reduced to cranking out useless items and recolors of already-existing pets. As coding for the site became harder and money stopped coming in, yearly events became cookie-cutter copy-and-paste affairs carried over from previous years. More and more holes in site security were found, and frequent cheating became inescapably common. For our purposes, let's call this the beginning of Neopets' downfall.įrom here on out, the game's already pretty old and always pretty bad coding just got older and worse. After that, Viacom seemed content to simply let Neopets coast, earning money through microtransactions and increasingly frequent ads. They also added the hot new thing, microtransactions! These took the form of the NC Mall, which promised to only sell purely cosmetic items and kept that promise for, well, a little while. In a still controversial change, every single Neopet recieved new, stylistically-consistent-but-unexciting art. They gave the game its last truly major update in 2007, when, in an event dubbed "the great conversion", the site was updated to meet then-current standards. Under their ownership, Neopets had a pretty decent budget, and that showed in the generally high quality content the site received. You may know Viacom from being the people who own Nickelodeon. Here are the things you need to know: For many years, the game was owned by Viacom, who purchased it from the scientologists (a story for another time). It recently celebrated its 20th birthday, which is a pretty long time for a browser based game to be around. He gives you and your friend each a pokemon and he keeps one himself.ĭoes anyone have ideas for new pokemon? since i am to replace a lot of pokemon i will need some ideas ) PM me with the subject "Pokemon Idea".So as I mentioned, Neopets has been around the block. The pokemon are trained to a higher level than usually, so you should have a chance. Therefore Prof birch has 3 pokemon that he nwly discovered on a journey to Jotho, you can only choose one though. Pokemon seem to attack a lot mor often than before and because of the many battles the wild pokemon grow slightly stronger day-by-day. their pokemon faint before reaching villa town. No one of the adults can leave the town because of pokemon attacks. You are asked by Professor Birch to go out to try find and tame the Ancient pokemon and as a sidequest catch all the new pokemon for research, since the new pokemon have chased the old away they have in a wierd way "adopted their dex data too, so you will find that theres no good info from the pokedex anymore. Your family (Mom, you and your dad in petalburg) has bought either a pokecenter or a mart(depending on boy or girl) and rebuilt it to look like a house inside. Some great ancient pokemon's power is making all pokemon wild and untameable.Īlso from a portal deep down in a cave new pokemon appears and chases the old ones away,the only way to stop this is to tame or beat the ancient pokemon. This happens 45 years after hoenn,on the same time as happiness but in the hoenn region. *Harder game (Higher levels more attacks) ![]()
