I love Virtuadopt <3
It's so great to see much activity here again, and I like the fresh start =D
Can't wait to hatch my first Shiny haha

Thank you so very much yankees for all the great effort =D
I started playing again, a few weeks ago ^^
And I'm so very happy with the Shiny Mew :wub:

Some of you may have noticed shiny Mew has a different promo medal compared to the bird trio. Veteran players may even recognize that medal as being the original promo medal. This is 100% intentional and a throwback to the way the original shiny Mew was released (which was during the site launch). Was that your only shot at getting a shiny Mew? Of course not. Sure, that promo medal was exclusive to just the relaunch event, but it's just a medal.

I can also say Johto has been loaded into the new system, and is just disabled until a release date is picked.

With that process fully figured out, I can start creating an automated process of migrating all the Pokemon, monthlies, and various event promos into this new dex system. There will still be some manual data entry for evolving and hatch/gender rates, but I am still moving forward with the plan of allowing any Pokemon and nearly all monthly/event promos to be migrated. It gets messy with customizable ones, so they're still an unknown/unlikely option.
Yayyy that sounds great, hyped!! :D
I don't mind when Jotho will arrive, we will see ;D

I'm curious if there will be something with easter, or maybe Mothersday can't wait =D
I already have a Special Dex Box created 8-)

Wow i didn't expect for an update regarding Jotho so soon, surprising news, great^^

I'am also happy with the current state of the site, even the pure basics. So relieved it didn't shut down. Virtuadopt helps me a lot when dealing with anxiety, its still great to spend time on here, and a little safe space especially because of its "vintage vibes".

thanks for keeping the site up^^

Thank you so much for all the work you put into Virtuadopt Yankee! :)
It's nice to see YOU ALL here again...
and even if I didn't get the day one promo - the Shiny Mew - it's great to be back and complete pokedex all over again with a smile on my face.
I'm very excited for the new era of VA :D

Very happy we still get to play, I hope we can get a "view adopts with credits" button back on the CE soon like we had in the past because refreshing the page and have to pick the box to open is a bit tedious but other than that I like how things are. Can't wait for when I eventually get to send over my babies from the old site <3

KopierKatze wrote: April 6th, 2022, 8:28 am Yea that feels kinda unfair. The site has been down for some days and you get punished for not checking everyday if it's back or not.
Exactly my thoughts. Punishing the Older members who've invested time and possibly money.
And we were the ones who helped advertise va on yarolds, getting us new members and new donators, ahem Ecco. Plus recruited people to help yankee out with the coding. And this is the payback we get?

I distinctly remember me and Jonathan were talking about passing on ideas drawn from pokemon crater not pokeplushies/clickcritters to minimize the amount of backlash and accusations of being called a knockoff. As the crater owner doesn't really care lol. He probably would give you some code from his old site if you really wanted to use any of it.
Join Yarolds to raise your eggs fast! Join The mob and be part of an awesome Team ! We can teach you to click 400 links in 10 mins! Pm me to learn how. Only PM me if you aren't already in a dyn.

How exactly did anyone get punished...?

Yankees stated multiple times already that old adopts will be able to be brought over, exact specifics and dates unkown yet.
Yankees also stated that the Shiny Mew available for 36 hours after relaunch will be available again someday - just like it was on the old site.

The alternative to the restart would have most likely been that VA would've been deleted. Gone.

I do hope this is relevant, because it feels relevant - regardless of the post being a bit old, which is kinda relative with this amount of activity. HOWEVER, I just found the site through Yarold's and I'll be staying and active! I see there's been a lot of more recent activity and I'm really excited to get into everything. Thanks for not giving up on the old click/pet site...my old lady self is not ready for these sites to go anywhere anytime soon and will always donate when I can while I'm active. ^_^

I presume there's some sort of trigger in the captcha system to make the photos a little warbly-looking if it thinks you're clicking too much?

What's more annoying is when you get the capcha right, but it tells you you're wrong and makes you do another one.

It would be amazing if we can use Yarolds again for click, yes =D


And thank you for the CE, if I click on credits, I don't have to select the 0
It's a small thing, but it's great! :wub:

And I just saw a Promo Egg =D
I'm very curious!
