What's new in PokePP Beta 0.1.0?

Since this is the first release since X/Y were released, that has been my focus for all the features.

Bug Fixes

  • When changing your pokedex, users no longer experience errors when updating their current party pokemon (previous work-around was to remove and re-add the pokemon)

Improvements

  • X/Y is now an available pokedex option from the Welcome Page!
  • Information about the game version of your current party is displayed and saved
  • When loading a party that was created/saved for a different generation, PokePP prompts the user if they want to switch to the matching pokedex
  • Able to export your party into human-readable text!
    • Use this to save your parties outside of PokePP
    • Post these to various pokemon communities to discuss and show off your party!
  • Able to import your party from human-readable text!
    • Imports the same format as export, so you can easily share your party or load it in to a new version of PokePP
    • The import allows for a wide range of formats and acronyms (a guide to Import Format's is coming soon!)
  • Pop-up messages are now formatted better
    • Uniform font type and size
    • Message box changes size to accommodate shorter or longer messages, adding a scrollbar when necessary
  • Further improvements to party loading, now it's even faster!

Beta 0.0.2 - 21 Sep 2013 23:57

Tags: beta release

Available for Download at….

Download PokePP Beta-0.0.2 here!
PokePP is an excel-based, graphical program in it's early stages of user testing.
This version comes prepackaged with Black 2/White 2 pokedex information, for other generations/games please see the instructions on the first sheet.


What's new in PokePP Beta-0.0.2?

I have dubbed this release as Pokedex Corrections.
This means every bug fix and improvement is dedicated to giving you the most accurate pokedex as possible.

Bug Fixes

  • 'Fairy' types leaking in to pre-gen 6 pokedex generations
  • Pokedex Generation sometimes failed due to incorrectly set up internet connection
  • Moves weren't guaranteed to have correct data for early generations

Improvements

  • Pokedex is now generated based off a Game Version instead of a Generation, which now leads to more accurate movesets
    • Example: The pikachu in Red/Blue had a fairly limited moveset, but in Yellow this was expanded. In previous PokePP versions you would automatically get the information for Yellow when generating Gen 1 pokedex
  • Supports multi-formed pokemon
  • Added support for 'Special' and 'Dream World' moves in pokemon movesets
  • Pokedex and Movedex now displayed as a table with the following features:
    • Sort the pokedex using any of the available information shown
    • Filter the pokedex by certain values to reduce number of shown pokedex entries
      • Example: Only show pokemon with total stats above 550, and/or with a certain type, etc..

Beta 0.0.1 - 11 Sep 2013 04:11

Tags: beta release

Available for Download at….

Download PokePP Beta-0.0.1 here!
PokePP is an excel-based, graphical program in it's early stages of user testing.
This version comes prepackaged with Generation 5 pokedex information, for other generations please see the instructions on the first sheet.


What's new in PokePP Beta-0.0.1?

Although I did give a sneak preview earlier on this week of what to expect for this release, I had a change of plans. I decided to only work on the bug fixes and program improvements until it's a more stable program, and then I can continue to work on new features. So that means this release brings us…

Bug Fixes

  • Moves aren't shown as learned by 'Tutor' when they should be HM/TM/Prevo/Etc
  • Prevo moves aren't shown as learned by Level
  • Pokedex Generation form shows incorrect values on startup
  • Analysis was not properly tallying up strong/weak defense values and resulted in incorrect results.

Improvements

  • Pokedex Generation now runs super fast!
    • Previously, generation took quite a while, possibly close (or over) a minute due to slow insertion of data in to the excel sheets
    • Now, generation takes only a matter of fractions of a second! Yay!
  • No longer relies on Internet Explorer. While it's possible that no one understands the huge impact this has, I can easily say this is a HUGE improvement and creates a faster, more stable, program.

So How About It?

Coming Soon - Bug Fixes and Improvements - 06 Sep 2013 06:10

Tags: beta upcoming

So initial release version of PokePP is a little… rough around the edges, shall we say. But with the upcoming release of Beta 0.0.1 you can expect to see some smoother edges and even a couple new features.
As for a release date, I hope it to be sometime next week, possibly next weekend. All the bug fixes and improvements have already finished their development stages, but the new features and testing of the release have yet to be finished.

Bug Fixes

  • Moves aren't shown as learned by 'Tutor' when they should be HM/TM/Prevo/Etc
  • Prevo moves aren't shown as learned by Level
  • Pokedex Generation form shows incorrect values on startup

Improvements

  • Pokedex Generation now runs so fast you don't even see the old values!
    • Previously, generation took quite a while, possibly close (or over) a minute due to slow insertion of data in to the excel sheets
    • Now, generation takes only a matter of fractions of a second! Yay!
  • No longer relies on Internet Explorer

New Features

  • Import/Export party to a human-readable text file. Potential uses include
    • Showing off your party to friends who don't have PokePP or on forums
    • Saving your parties outside PokePP so they can be reimported when upgrading versions - Comments: 0
