AREA 0: BETA ISLAND

A CORRUPTED GYARADOS has been spotted off the coast of BETA BEACH. It was trailing some kind of shadowy-looking fog from its fins and whiskers. I got out of there in a hurry, but watch out if you're in the area.

I ran into an OLD MAN hanging around near the STARTER LAB. I asked him what he wanted, and he just said something about me 'looking too skinny' and gave me a whole bag of Poffins! Some of them were burnt :/

I think Bethany is juicing up the pokemon you get from her! My red bug just stares at the sky and I have to hold him like a gun to get him to do attacks! Some guy was whispering about 'Mamoswine Tranquillizers'! I don't know what that is, but it sounds freaky!

There's a portal to a secret level underneath Professor Ash's desk! You should crawl under there next time you're at the Starter Lab!

I heard Bethany is STEALING Pokemon's genders and selling them on the side, and honestly good for them.

A massive Venusaur was spotted roaming the Beta Island forest, and some NPCs have been disappearing in the area. Maybe keep an eye out in case the Pokemon are getting a taste for human pixels :scream:

I heard (from @strawberry and @thorn) that if you fish in lava you can pull up a rare fire Pokemon! I haven't been able to do it yet, so I must be missing something, but I'm super excited to get it to work!

I saw the wurmples in the canopy do a strange dance while chanting during the storm... I think they caused the calamity.

Did you hear? Apparently Litten are prone to violence and are the number one predators. They can kill up to 46 other, more vulnerable, pokemon per year!

If you build a sand castle on the coastline, and then it vanishes the next time you look for it, there's probably a chance it turned into a rare Sandygast instead!

Be careful of the sight of a Gengar statue showing up randomly somewhere. I was looking over the damn thing for days because it didn't fit the game in any way. It's like the thing was there in every way except for being real-didn't weigh anything or feel like anything, didn't crack the walls when I swung it-and now I can't even say that it's real anymore. It disappeared on me one day. I don't know what happened to it. Keep an eye out for me.

I heard if you tap on your Magikarp during Pokémon Refresh, it'll gain Rarity faster! The faster you tap the better.

Hey folks! We've been getting some reports from players that they are experiencing issues with C0D13. Don't worry! C0D13 is working as intended. Happy gaming!

Area 1: Asper

I heard there is an invisible Blaziken wandering around that even the admins can't contain!

I heard that there is a sleeping girl in mom's house and you can go into her dreams to fight Darkrai

I heard that if you walk in the Misty Timberwoods at night you might find a lantern that traps you there till you solve its puzzle

There's a small lake in Misty Timberlands that seems to be filled with fog. Has anyone tried to take a boat out there?

I heard that the Mr. Mimes in the mime circus are biting people and spreading vampirism

I was snooping around the lab at night and found out that the Prof is secretly a huge digimon fan

TOWER OF CATS

I heard the rats from the Tower Challenge are trying to Unionize. :MudThink:
Submitted by: Allotta Bambooga (Discord)

I heard that the Tower of Cats is a World Heritage Site, so the Patrat are illegally trespassing and occupying it and preventing its enjoyment by sanctioned visitors.
