Ninja-ja Update: It's almost done, Dan is just about finished with it so it will come out early next week.

First 10 people that beat the new gym level, and send me an email with some sort of proof (screen shot, or just send me your account email so I can confirm it) will get to keep one of the legendary dogs forever! 
Okay we found our winners, I will be announcing them on Monday! Thanks to all who sent in an email, also see I told you the level isn't impossible ;) I made this contest just to prove that.


Alright well it's finally here! After all the blood, sweat and tears! Let's look at what we added in this version and let's look at where you can enjoy the game.

Added on v3.3:

• The Trading Center is now open for business! - Trade your pokemon with other trainers, search for trades, and transfer your pokemon from one profile to the other. Without all that nasty duping!
• New Story Level - Vermilion Gym! - Will Joey finally know your gender? What has Brock been up to? Just how hard is that gym level? Find out this plus more!
• Increased Experience Gain! - Earn 50% more experience per kill! This will only last a week!

• Legendary Pokemon Hunt! - Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres have invaded Route 2, Route 3, Viridian Forest 2, Mt Moon 1, and Route 5. Use the help of Entei, Raikou, and Suicune to help you defeat their attack! After this week Entei, Raikou and Suicune will return to where they came from (I'm removing them from the game, enjoy it will you can :D)
• Bug Fixes! - About a million bugs squashed! Check out the previous blog for more info.

Okay I finally got all the fixes together, plus a couple more.

NOTE: It is no longer possible to save on v3.2

Version 3.2.2 contains:

• Autosaving when you reach the "Mode Menu", along with at the end of each level. It won't be possible to accidentally reset your save and lose data.
• All achievement prizes are now reset so if you finished them before you will get 3 new rewards, this is to compensate the people that lost their rewards because of not saving.
• You can now log off. This will let you have multiple accounts at once.
• The achievement "Star Wars" now works again.
• Fixed some issue with creating a new account and logging in.
• The game can now be played on browsers that don't let flash save data locally. The only downside is that you need to put your log in information every time you play.

What's next? PTD progress list

Hey folks Sam here bringing you the weekly progress list. First the usual stuff.

Want to play Ninja-ja? Get a shiny pikachu, shiny mew, shiny starter or have your suggestion for a weapon design to be used on Ninja-ja? Click here for more info on how you can get those things.

Click here to get your shiny charmander code!

Ninja-ja is on break this week, update will come next week.

We reached 3 MILLION views on Newgrounds recently, I'm still amazed at how big we have gotten, I mean 3 million on newground is not counting the views on the blog (463,109) and the views on all the other websites that have the game, so the number is a lot higher. I'm committed to finishing this game and letting you guys catch all the original 151 pokemon. So let's move forward together, with your support we can make this happen.

I wanted to say that this is a learning experience for Dan and me, we make mistakes just like everyone else. I will say that I regret giving out shiny abra and shiny charmander and that it won't happen again. The reason I'm not shutting down the charmander code is that it won't be fair that some of you got it while others didn't.

Also, I want to ask you guys if you have any suggestions to post them on our forum, the link is on the PTD Fan Links page, that way other players can comment on your suggestion and it's easier for me to find the ones that people are more excited about. My email is so full right now if you mailed me a suggestion there it might be a long time before you get a response.

Okay so on Saturday I asked "What would be the perfect update?" and boy did you guys have a lot of different answers. But a lot certain things keep coming up over and over. One you want a new story level, two you want new pokemon to catch, and three you want TMs. Most of you think the level cap is fine which I agree. A lot of you want a training level which I agree also. Some of you want a nugget bridge level and have many great ideas for it. So I will take all of these and bundle them up into this weeks update.

New Story Level (100%) - Nugget Bridge - Will Ash beat General Mewtwo? Did I really just beat Kyogre with two pokemon? What happened to Gary? All these answers and more on this level.

• Level Intro (100%)
• Level Layout (100%)

Once you start learning the move you will be charged even if you don't end up replacing the move for another. They cost 10,000 pokedollars each.
TMs available (20 added):

• Mega Punch, Whirlwind, Body Slam, Take Down, Double-Edge, BubbleBeam, Water Gun, Pay Day, Seismic Toss, Rage, Mega Drain, Dragon Rage, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Teleport, Double Team, Metronome, Selfdestruct, Swift, ThunderWave.

When entering a preview code for trading you can now see which moves the pokemon will have. (100%)

Bug Fixes (100%)

• Ally-switch: Making all your allies be on one spot. (100% Fixed)

Final Touches and Distribution (80%)

If I finish these up early I will be adding more things to the update that I want to add, like more achievements and the achievement prizes.

As always keep coming back during the week to see the progress on the update, as always let me know what you think. Sam

PTD: v2.6.1 Trading is back! Keep your fans close and your hackers closer.

Version 2.6.1 is out! Trading is back! But first the usual announcements.

Want to play Ninja-ja? Get a shiny pikachu, shiny mew, shiny starter or have your suggestion for a weapon design to be used on Ninja-ja? Click here for more info on how you can get those things.

Get your shiny Zubat! Click here!

This week is Ninja-ja first update, and here is the list that Dan and I came up with:

• Android Version (0%)
• Tweaks (0%)
• Adding the Health Bar (50%)
• Graphic (100%)
• Programming (0%)
• Being able to lose (death) (50%)
• Graphic (100%)
• Programming (0%)
• Simple Point system (0%)
• Programming (0%)
• Sword mode (75%)
• Graphic (50%)
• Programming (100%)
• And a new different Bo Staff Mode (0%)
• Programming (0%) 

Okay now on to v2.6.1 a couple of new things on this update:

• Trading is back again.
• Shiny rate is now 1/1000 or 0.1% (more shinies!)
• You can trade mew again.

Also I added a link to a trade chat if any of you are interested you can go to that one or use the one on the forum.

Now making a game as popular as PTD is going to get attention from a lot of people. Some of those people enjoy exploiting and hacking game. This is going to happen when the game is played offline and all the information is easy to edit. So instead of fighting them I've talked to them, and here is the resolution. If anybody wants to play the game with pokemon that are easier to catch (hit them once and they will turn red), x3 exp given per kill, x5 money given per kill they can, why not? 

So here is the link to the official hacked PTD version http://www.hackedarcadegames.com/game/5714/Pokemon-Tower-Defense.html

Also if you feel like cloning your pokemon is a good way to pass the time then go ahead, no harm done.

But... what about all the legit fans, all the people that don't want all this hacking and duping and easy exp?

What about all the people that bought Ninja-ja or that donated in the past? Is that all for nothing?

Fans, I got your answer.... Multiplayer!

Multiplayer will be ran all on a server, similar to how MMOs work, so there will be no duping, no free shinies (the shiny rate will return to lower rates in multiplayer), everybody will start from scratch, and if you donated or bought Ninja-ja you will get the following benefits.

• You will get beta access to multiplayer (Play before anybody else)
• You will get your shiny codes again so that your shiny pikachu, starters, and mew will be added to your multiplayer account, and will be totally legit.
• You can think of Multiplayer almost as a sequel to PTD.
• All your single player profiles for PTD will not be deleted, ever.
• Multiplayer will be almost like a new game so it should be expected that you start over in a new game.
• You won't be able to import anything from single player to multiplayer or vice versa.
• The people who donated or bought Ninja-ja will get new codes, meaning they start over also but they might start over with a shiny starter (level 5) or a shiny pikachu (lvl 1) or shiny mew (lvl 1).
• All the levels on multiplayer will be different from single player.
• Multiplayer will have co-op and versus modes.
• There is no date on multiplayer, most of the focus right now is on single player.

PTD Weekly Update Progress: Update out now!

• Final Touches (100%)  
• Double Slap will no longer slap for more than it is supposed to (100%)
• On your profile "Pokemon" should be spelled correctly (100%)
• New Story Level (100%)
• Intro (100% done)
• Waves (100% done)
• Ending (100%)
• Adding Items to PokeMart ( Postponed until next update)
• New Evolutions (4) (100%)
• Graphics (4) (100% done)
• Shiny Graphic (4) (100% done)
• Add pokemon stats to game (4) (100% done)
• New Level Cap to 36 (100% done)
• Moves for 29 (3) (100% done) Skipping Natural Gift
• Moves for 30 (4) (100% done)
• Moves for 31 (4) (100% done)
• Moves for 32 (4) (100% done)
• Moves for 33 (8) (100% done)
• Moves for 34 (6) (100% done)
• Moves for 35 (2) (100% done)
• Moves for 36 (1) (100% done)

Again your feedback is very important, I would love to hear it. Have a good night.

For people who get stuck on "Waiting on Server" I could not fix it in time but you can expect it to be fixed by next week. The server wasn't ready in time for the update.

For people that haven't received their evolution stone codes for donating $10 or more, I'm still sending those out, if you really want yours right away send me an email and I will get it to you as soon as possible.

• A passion for games.

Also these next requirements are extra but if you have these it will make you more likely to be picked.

• Flash experience.

We can't wait to check out everybody's art :) so just email me at sotero86@gmail.com with "Artist Position" as the subject and we can talk about further details.

I have a small request, I wish to take next week off from updating, basically so I can rest a bit and get some other things in order. Let me know what you think.

Lastly, thanks again for all the support, and have a Happy Easter!

Pokemon Tower Defense: What's next? Doing the impossible. How to get your Mystery Gift code. You guys are correct.

Hey guys, I've been reading pretty much all the comments, haven't had the chance to really answer anything. Each week it gets harder and harder to answer all the great and not so great questions. I plan to put up an FAQ with answers to most of the questions you guys have.

I don't really need to wait for the poll to be over to know that level 8 needs to be toned down, but for those of you that liked the challenge you don't have to worry the level will show up as a challenge mode level.

Speaking of challenge mode, beating a challenge mode level for the first time will be how you get a mystery code, each level will give out it's own mystery code.

Now to talk about the next update.

Shiny versions of all current wild and catchable pokemon!
Challenge Mode Levels!
Level cap raised to..........

I want to raise the level cap to 40 but I don't know if I will make it in time so I will be posting a list of what needs to be done to get there, I might make it to 30 or maybe 22 who knows, maybe I will reach this impossible goal.

Challenge Level (75%)

Level 25 Reached!
27 New Moves (100% done)
5 New Evolutions (100% done) 

Shiny Pidgey added, 0.01% for it to show up when a pidgey shows up. 
Shiny Geodude added, 0.01% for it to show up when a geodude shows up (Mt. Moon). 


There might not be a new level this week... I really want to get the cap up as much as possible to try to push the game towards a more completed stage so that levels can be done quicker.

Also I wanted to talk about the bugs that people had mentioned and what's my priority right now.

1. Making Storage work. Storage now has different boxes that you can store 21 pokemon on each box.
2. Fixing the bug that makes the enemy stop moving. Thanks for all the info!
3. Fixing Geodudes attacks.
4. The password field on the Save Profile Online page will now hide your password as your type it.
5. Added two rare candies to Viridian Forest 1 making the total 5. This will make it easier for new players to beat the level.
6. Storage pokemon now have their levels displayed.
7. You can now save a new profile using the same email and password as before, thus overriding the original one.
8. When playing from a website, exe, or swf, when dragged, the pokeball and pokemon will be centered directly on your mouse cursor.
9. The game will now remember your sound settings.
10. The disclaimer at the start of the game will only show up once.
11. On Level 1, Professor Oak will only tell you how to play once, if you go into checking a pokemon and return to the party screen he won't show up again. 
12. In the pokemart fixed an issue that you could continue to buy a stone on the "thanks for buying" and "you don't have enough money" screens. Thanks Keyser!


Also if you don't play on the websites I mentioned before on the previous blog, please consider playing on one of them because I don't plan to send updates to 20 different sites.

As always let me know what you think! Until next time.

Pokemon Tower Defense: Level 8 is out! Alpha v2.1

Level 8 is done are ready to be played, but please read this first before you go!

You will know if you are playing the new version because it will say Alpha v2.1.

First of all, I want to explain the pokemart. You go to the pokemart you buy the stone that you need, then you go select a level to play and on the party select screen you press on the pokemon that you want to use the stone with. You will see a button there "Use Item". Click on that, if the pokemon can use that stone you will see it there.

Second, on Level 8 - Mt Moon 1, there is a spot on the map that you put your pokemon in that looks brown instead of the usual orange. That spot is meant only for Rock Type pokemon! It's not a bug, only rock type pokemon can go there.

Third, codes for evolution stones for people who donated in the past will have to wait until next week, I didn't get a chance to add that into the game.

I will have a proper inventory screen later on, and the pokemart will get prettier as time goes on.

Fourth, I have currently sent the swf file to Newgrounds- Updated, Gamerfish-Updated, Freeworldgroup, Mofunzone, playtowerdefensegames - updated, funny games, OneMoreLevel.com. Let me know if there is a site that you want me to send the update to!

Lastly, the level is possible to finish, trust me I have done it without cheating. Yes the level is difficult, enjoy.

Pokemon Tower Defense: This week's update: Progress List

It's that time again. Here I will list out all my current objectives for this week. The main one is the pokemart! A new story level, (you can actually lose!) and some new pokemon. This week we are heading to Mt. Moon and meeting up with Brock. The sad news is that there will be no level cap increase, but I promise you all that next week the cap will increase ( I think).

Level 8 (Mt. Moon):

Intro (100% done)
Actual Level (100% done)
Ending (100% done)


New Pokemon (5) with New Moves (16) (100% done)
New Evolutions (5) with Evolution Stone(100% done)
Shiny Pikachu & Raichu (100% done) (Really low chance of him showing up, prize for different small contest)

The poll results for what you guys wanted to be done first are in! 14126 votes!
Pokemart got 46%, Shiny Wild Pokemon got 34%, and a Challenge Mode level got 19%!
Pokemart is the winner, but you can't have a pokemart without an inventory so that is coming out also.

Pokemart (100% done)

Small change in plan, there won't be an inventory screen, for now you can use the items on the pokemon's profile page (You get to it by clicking on the pokemon when selecting your party, then clicking on "Use Item")

Bugs/Fixes:(These are the ones I have finished, I'll be adding more as I get them done)

1. Pidgey should now appear on route 3. (This is why some spearow had pidgeys moves)
2. Pokemon in Viridian Forest 2 will give out more money to compensate how difficult they are.
3. Metapod in Viridian Forest 2 were missing an attack, so I made sure that they have it now.
4. Removing a pokemon that is currently in your party will now remove it correctly. 
5. For Marketplace app users, you will only need to put the code once, then you won't ever need to put it, it will go straight to the game. 
6. For app users, the game will no longer keep your screen on when you exit the game. 
7. Your pokemon "towers" will now animate.
8. Added Nintendo/Game Freak copyright and trademark acknowledgments.  
9. Added more room to the bottom of the level on Brock's Gym, to make it easier to select pokemon on the bottom row.

As the week goes on I will be updating this post quite a bit. So stay tuned. As always let me know what you think :)

Pokemon Tower Defense: Level 7 is out!

Accidentally deleted this post... Ooppss

PTD: This week's edition of What's Next?

Okay so a new week a new poll and new updates to come. Let's go!

For the poll I want you guys to decide part of the story, sorta like interactive story telling. You and Joey will be going back to Viridian Forest to capture and train some more. So should Joey capture a pikachu on his visit there? You decide!

Also I will be adding a FAQ Page soon that should answer a lot of questions, from updating the game, to why does Brock keep taking my pokemon. (Because you dropped it), also an unofficial forum seems to have made an appearance check it out and maybe we will make it an official forum :)

This week is not only about Pokemon Tower Defense. I will be showing off "Ninja-ja" our next game! It will be a reallllyyyyy early alpha version, but I want you guys to check it out and bring feedback every step of the way. This game will only be for the phones so keep that in mind, it also uses the multi-touch features of your phone.

Last but not least. What's next for PTD? This week will be all about compiling all the feedback/ideas/suggestions that you guys have brought up, from my email, comments on the blog, comments on newgrounds, and just making a giant list of things you guys want and trying to get those in order of what you guys want the most. Besides that a couple of new features are coming:

• The Pokemart - Buy items using special SD coins that you can get in a number of ways. (More on that below), you can also buy items with the money you earn in the game.
• Items menu - Use items that you buy in the pokemart or get while playing the game.
• Viridian Forest Free Roam Level - Can't capture pikachu? Want to fight higher level pokemon to level up fast? This is your place.
• Save your profile info online - A lot of people have been asking for this, and it should make things a lot easier. You will make an account (just email and password) that will store all your pokemon info, so that you can play where ever you want and not have to fear about losing your data!
• Other things! - I can't promise you yet but you might be getting the first Challenge mode level, can you beat brock without your nice little Butterfree and your high level pokemon? We will find out.

Okay so more about those SD Coins (Sam Dan Coins). Well basically each day when you play the game and you log in with your online profile you will get a free SD Coin. You can use the coins to buy stuff like rare candies, evolution stones etc. Other games that I make will also give you an SD Coin per day just for login in the game. Another way to get them is to beat a challenge level, the first time you beat it you will be awarded some SD Coins. The last way, and fastest way, to get SD Coins is to buy them with real money (This is not ready yet.)

Again let me know what you think in the comments below or just send me an email. Lastly just reminding you guys about the Mystery Code.

Also don't forget to get your Shiny Starter, by donating any amount you will receive a code that you can put in the mystery gift and change your starter into a shiny. Also if you donate 10 or more you will also get rare candies and evolutions stone, finally if you donate 20 or more you will get all the previous gifts plus your very own shiny Mew!  To donate click on the donate button on the top right corner of the page.

NOTE: I'm currently giving out the shiny starters the other gifts will be given out this week coming up.

Pokemon Tower Defense: Level 6 progress, Weekly Updates, and more.

UPDATE 3: Level is about 85.111233232% done! About an hour if everything goes smoothly!

UPDATE 2: Update is still coming tonight, just a heads up this next level is going to be a free roam level, meaning no candy, you can capture everything in the level, bunch of waves. The levels are design as a good way to level up and capture pokemon, however no money will be awarded in the free roam levels. If I have some extra time I will include 2 free roam levels in this update so that it's easier to get pikachu.


UPDATE: This next update will be done by Sunday night the latest, won't be done today Saturday :( Thanks for your patience.

Hey guys! It's me again, so it looks like most of you want the updates to come on a weekly basis (me too!). I think that looking forward to an update on a weekly basis is fun, it reminds me of waiting each week for my favorite tv show to come on so I can watch it. Out of 2442 (I swear this thing got reset or something) 21% wanted monthly big juicy updates but, 78% wanted weekly quick updates!

This next poll is about where you play the game, I'm interest to see which version I should focus on more.

I'm making a list for level 6 so you guys can see where the progress is at, I must note that coming up with a level probably takes longer than actually making it.

New Pokemon, with all Moves up to lvl 20:

• Spearow with 3 new moves (100% done)
• Nidoran Male with 1 new move (100% done)
• Nidoran Female with 1 new move (100%, done)
• Jigglypuff with 4 new moves (100% done)
• Mankey with 3 new moves (100% done) (Not doing the move Covet since there are no items)

New Evolutions with all Moves up to lvl 20:

• Nidorina no new moves (100% done)
• Nidorino no new moves (100% done)
• Fearow no new moves (100% done)

Also don't forget to get your Shiny Starter, by donating any amount you will receive a code that you can put in the mystery gift and change your starter into a shiny. Also if you donate 10 or more you will also get rare candies and evolutions stone, finally if you donate 20 or more you will get all the previous gifts plus your very own shiny Mew!  To donate click on the donate button on the top right corner of the page.

NOTE: I'm currently giving out the shiny starters the other gifts will be given out at a later date.

A fan of the game, Peter Thompson, wrote a great article that has to do with this game. You guys should check it out ! http://thompsonpeters.blogspot.com/2011/03/whats-in-game-would-roselia-by-any.html

Also I'm making a tab with the latest links to the game, so that it's easier to find, but I will post them here just in case.

Pokemon Tower Defense: Small update for people who donated.

I'm sending out the emails to all those who donated to get their shiny starters, you will need a new version of the game which you can find here (I also changed the link on the other blog post)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2SU40OT5


This version activates Mystery Gift, and lets you put in the code for you shiny pokemon.
If you donated $10 or more you will be getting something else that I'm still working on, if you donated $20 or more you will get even more additional stuff.

If you play in Newgrounds I uploaded a new version there but it might take a little bit until it actually shows up, I emailed tom over at Newgrounds to see if something was wrong.

If you didn't donate and don't plan on donating anytime soon you don't really need this update right now.

If you want to donate but don't know how or have questions just post a comment here or email me directly. To donate just click on the donate button to the top right of this page.

And just to remind you guys a new level will be coming out this weekend, and you can finally get your badges :D

Pokemon Tower Defense: So what happens now? Donate button? Next Game? More pokemon defense?

It's been a really crazy day. Was just about to get the level cap update out, and bam I get an email from google that the app has been suspended and removed. I saw it coming but not this fast, it all has to do with the growth that we experienced. We ended up getting over 120,000 downloads, and I'm sure giving enough time we would have reached millions.

So what happens now?

I know a lot of you came for the pokemon tower defense, and if it wasn't here anymore you might leave. I don't blame you, but me and dan want to make games for a living. We want to make games for you guys. We have a game coming down hopefully in April, and I hope you guys can give it a look, when I post it here. It has ninjas.

So am I quitting pokemon tower defense? The answer is no. If they don't want it on the market place then it's not going to be there and it won't ever be there again. Nintendo spent a lot of money and work building up pokemon and I respect them for that. They need to protect their property, if they don't then everybody starts making games based on their characters. Talking to them is honestly something that I believe has a 0% chance of success. Why? Mainly because I'm a nobody right now. I'm trying to grow into somebody that they will listen to. My dream and the reason I started programming/making games was/is to make a pokemon mmo. I doubt that I will ever get the chance to do it, or that maybe once I'm popular/successful enough I might not want to do it anymore. But for now I will make smaller games that hopefully you will find worth your time.

If you think that I might be somebody worth investing your hard earned money into, I would be honored to accept it, I provided a donate button on the top right hand side of the page. Donate whatever you feel like donating. I don't want to take your money without giving something back, so if you donate send me a message with your email while doing the donation or just email some sort of proof that I can make sure you actually donated and I will give you a shiny starter pokemon (bulbasaur, squirtle, or charmander) in the tower defense game. If you are disgusted by the idea of donating, please let me know also. 

So at this point some of you might be like okay where my pokemans. I'm a little off balanced at the moment but level 6 will come this weekend.

Right now there are a couple of ways to play the game:

On your computer, go to http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/566150
On your phone, go to http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/566150 or download and install the apk file at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2SU40OT5

Again please let me know what you think I'm looking forward to answering your comments/questions/suggestion/ideas. Have a nice day :)

Pokemon Tower Defense: A new beginning, a new place to play the game, level cap at 20 now.

UPDATE 3: Here is a link to download the apk file, don't ask me how to install it I'm not sure my self, apparently your save file will still work. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D9W2HADU 
Enjoy!


UPDATE: If you go to the website on your phone and you full screen the game, it pretty much plays just like the app would, this is the best solution to playing on the phone, you only need to be online to start the game then you can go offline once the game loads. 

UPDATE 2: I will be posting the .apk file for those of you who know how to install those, the only problem right now is that your data will be deleted between updates, I will figure out a way to save your data online, so that you can restore it between updates. No specific date tho on when I can do this.

Well, we got suspended from the android marketplace (Nintendo asked them to remove us), so instead of killing the whole thing. I just found a new home for it. We are now located at Newgrounds!

Here is the link: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/566150 
Please register and rate the game :)

This version contains the new level cap (20), as well as new moves and new evolutions for your current pokemon.

A couple of extra notes:

• You will have to start over, sorry :(
• You can play on your phone's browser or your computer's browser. (Tried it on my phone's browser, it actually works great there, make sure to full screen the game).

I'm personally pretty bummed out about getting suspended, but it is what it is. Tell me what you think!
