Version 0.3.0 Update (Valentine’s Day, Trading, and Forums. Oh, my!) by pidginhead

 Where to begin!? This major update introduces Meowth’s Matchmaking minigame, the forums, and trading. 

Meowth’s Matchmaking minigame is a limited-time event where you help Meowth set up Pokémon dates in exchange for Matchmaking Tokens. 

Trading is such a huge part of the Pokémon experience, with some Pokémon only able to evolve after trading. Not only are you able to trade Pokémon, but you can also trade gemstones, currencies, and items.

First Blog by pidginhead

Welcome to the Pokémon Paradise RPG blog! I’ve never written a blog before, so bear with me as I tell my story. Pokémon Paradise RPG was first online back in 2008 and 2009 when Justin Birdwhistle (Pidginhead) and a few friends decided to create an online Pokémon RPG. We all played Pokémon RPGs and wanted to make our own. We thought we could compete with some of the big boys like TPPCRPG and Eclipse RPG. Sometimes… you’re just not quite ready to play with the older kids.
