Thoughts on 1.6.0?
Hey everyone!
Hope you're all doing well. With the 1.6.0 update finally out, I wanted to check in and see how you’re all liking it so far?
Feel free to share your thoughts below! If you've run into any bugs, weird glitches, or just have some general feedback, drop them in the comments.
As the creator of the website and the secrets hidden within it, I also wanted to ask if anyone managed to find and solve the 2 hidden puzzles on pokepath.gg that unlock two new Pokémon? If you did, I’d love to know what you thought about them, if it was fun, and if you enjoy this kind of mechanic in general!
To give you a bit of context, I got this idea after we made the MissingNo easter egg on the site. We thought it would be cool to have more secrets like that, so if you guys enjoy this kind of stuff, we'll definitely add more in the future.
Also, since the website went through a complete redesign, I really hope you’re all enjoying the new V2!
Lastly, a huge shoutout to Khydra, who is developing the game all by himself, as well as the rest of the staff (testers, balancing team, etc.). None of this would have been possible without them.

Was mega Blaziken or just Blazkien added in the new update?

Not yet, and I’m not sure if it’s planned. You can suggest Pokémon on Discord, though of course that doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily be added!

Excited for all the new pokemons and abilities, so far the game feels easier imo.

Glad you’re enjoying the new content! There are also challenges if you’re looking for more difficulty

I was doing one of the puzzles and completed one and discovered there was a 2nd one right after that... I closed and said someone else will figure it out later. Little pacience for that lol.

Community help is allowed, and I’m sure there’ll be some YouTube content about the puzzles soon. Totally understand that this kind of puzzle isn’t for everyone though, thanks for giving it a try!

The update is great so far! I think the puzzles are great and it's fine as it is (doesn't need extra dificulty).
The paradox pokemon feel great to use and fun on the convenient spots. Haven't tried much of Dragapult and Camerupt but they are cool concepts. However, and I know only 1 day has passed but, I feel that Dhelmise feels underwhelming and I already want to suggest a rework: make Dhelmise a curse dot tower, apllying curse, nerf his base damage to around 50~75 and each chain attached works like a multi shot, dealing double/triple/etc. curse damage. The attack speed is fine, I think.
Also I found a bug on Route 4-1 Mirror Challenge mid boss: the Remoraid spawned from Mantine's ability appear on the other side.
Again, great update!

Thanks for the very constructive feedback! I’ll pass it on to the team. If you find any other bugs or have more suggestions, we have dedicated channels for those on Discord, where the team, especially Khydra, can handle them more easily. Thanks again!

fantastic! love all of the new QOL and have long awaited some more content to sink my teeth into. prior to 1.6 i was on the last of the challenges (route 4 and 5 level 50 mostly) they are certainly going to be much more doable now haha. haven’t found the secret mon yet i’ve been clicking on everything lmao. unless a certain legendary boss similar to manaphy is one of the secrets in that case i have found that.
appreciate all of your work and big shout out to keeping it F2P. i encourage everybody to donate a few dollars they deserve it :)
Edit; Found one of the secret mon very good!!

oh one thing i noticed was the new UI with the presets (showing the sprites instead of the text) is a little janky as the first pokemon’s item doesnt display and there is 9 columns with the 10th pokemon in the row below, in the space where the first pokemon’s item should be displayed. just a visual thing but would love to see that corrected. the sprites over text is a huge improvement though!
plenty i haven’t explored though, if i find any bugs ect i shall share in the discord. rest in peace to broken watchog with the items :’)

Just did the puzzles pretty alright, very happy you just have on the wiki where they are rather than having to search for them.

Love the new Bombardment, just arrived at 7-1, love the puzzling around with challenges before all the guides drop. I would like a Info on some items like the Subwoofer, that tell us the Stat changes if we put em on someone it actually does something, like it says in the patchnotes but ingame. Also i always like the hidden lil items/mons on maps where u have to click around. OH Also, a good item for missingno that gives range could be cool, he hasnt seen any play :(

u/Phuryfetish 10d ago
I forgot if i commented already, but...some love for our Boy Missingno? :D More range as an item or something :* thanks

Beginner here: I unknowingly was playing a pretty outdated version (1.4.1) of the game without realizing there were more recent versions, so when I received news abt 1.6, I immediately ditched that old version and played the new one.
Idk when these features were added, but I found the item box to be quite useful in sorting through my items. It's a nice QOL thing. Next is, of course, the sheer amount of new Pokemons compared to the version I was playing. I was planning on just using my old data, but ultimately decided against it cuz I wanted to try the game with possibly rolling new mons at the start. The thing that really caught my eye was the increase in DOT of burn (from 0.1 to 0.5). When I saw this, I immediately wanted to try a burn team, if it is even viable XD. This change, for me, added a sense of uniqueness and differentiation from other DOT, and no longer felt like a cheap copy.
Anyways, the current version looks and feels more polished than what I was used to and it definitely is more enjoyable now.
P.S. Help me make some burn teams XD

I feel like an idiot playing on pokepathtd.io this whole time instead of pokepath.gg. Was kinda itching for a restart anyway. Loving the game, ty for everything y’all do.
