First off, I LOVED having my little Eevee along for the ride this year, watching my progress and cheering me on! But she doesn't seem to have updated with my final word count - she's still showing at 104,401 when my final total was actually 105,501. Any way this could be corrected? My NaNo username is AngelDreamer. Thanks so much!

Hi there, I love NaNoWriMon! I noticed last year that my 'mon only got to lvl 97 despite me winning that year. I figured it was because I was too down to the wire in updating my word count. But this year I updated a couple hours in advance of midnight, and my 'mon is only lvl 97 again and it's after midnight. I figure this must be a problem of time zones, as I'm in PST. Any help would be appreciated! My username is 'cubistvowels.' Thanks!

I love this tool. I don't think anything else on the web offers this functionality.

Yeah! This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, and have actually started, but haven't finished. The page also generally needs a facelift and better interface. Can't promise when I'll get this done, but it's on my radar!

It would totally be possible! It's really just whether I'd be able to make the option obvious and accessible for people who were interested in going beyond 50k. People have a hard enough time finding the links in the directions as it is! I've also been meaning, for a couple years now, to redo the UI of the mon selection screen to make it a lot more streamlined and remove much of the text, so that would hopefully give some space for a more prominent and accessible link.
Anyway, thanks again for the idea! I can't promise anything about implementation, since like I said I often run years behind on changes I intend on making, but I think it's a good idea and something I'm definitely interested in pursuing, if I can find the time.

Hmmm, would it be possible to create a separate page for the people who wanted the extra Mon? For instance, under the normal screen where you would fill out the usual information, put some text saying something like 'Looking to push past 50K this year? You may be interested in these more in-depth options.' Then have a link to the page with the additional options. This way, it's up-front so people have a good chance of seeing it, but for those who want to keep things simple, the process remains nice and easy to understand. Obviously this assumes that the people using this feature are pushing past 50K and not setting a custom goal, but if you implement the custom goals as well, the text could just say something else.

Are you positive you didn't check the "no evolution" options for all of them? Because you have two that are marked down as not supposed to evolve, and the others are all lucario at this point.
Unfortunately since they're level 100 even if I manually change their species they won't evolve because they can no longer level up.

Oh, cool! I had kind of been thinking of doing like a trainer card sort of thing, but I guess you can actually fit the sprites right on the ordinary image! This would be extremely simple to do, no worries there.
What I really wonder about is how to kind of prompt people to come back and make a new mon if they've already hit 50k. If it's just mentioned in the instructions or at the end when the code is displayed, at least 90% of people aren't going to see it or know that the feature even exists. On the other hand, if I make it an up-front thing, like you start out by selecting, say, up to six mons that will get used in order, it'll make the process more confusing for everyone, for a feature that at least 90% of NaNoers aren't going to use! That's my primary barrier to implementation at this point.

Hey- I know it's been a while since you've been on the forum here, but my riolu hasn't evolved, even though I'm over 50,000 words. I made the 'do not evolve' buttons weren't checked. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks so much.

The way I imagine this working would look something like this: https://i.imgur.com/yghl2ZU.png (I hope links are okay on here). With this design, custom goals or background colors would still work, like you said you'd like to implement. As far as an additional third, fourth, etc. Mon goes, it depends on how you want it to look. This design would comfortable fit four Mon total. After that, if you wanted them to overlap slightly, you could fit a full six. Obviously you could also shrink the extra icons, but given the size, it doesn't look so great if you shrink them even a little. That said, I'm not a coder, so I don't know how easy it is to implement something like this.

Yeah, I've been considering some different ways to reward people (or for them to reward themselves) for getting more than 50k. One option that I'd like to implement is definitely custom goals, so if someone knows they want to go for a higher word count, like 75k or 100k, they can set things up so their mon will reach 100 at 100k instead of 50k, etc. Also allows people who want to set goals of 20k, 30k, whatever, to have a NaNoWriMon where they'll "win" at that goal instead of it forever getting stuck at a low level, even though they actually accomplished what they wanted to.
Getting a second (or third, or fourth) mon after you reach 50k once is definitely doable. I think it would be nice to give some kind of indication that you'd already "cleared" one, as an additional special thing. idk if a different color background or something, but I do want to make custom colors a thing already so that wouldn't necessarily work, or some kind of little icon, but I'm not a spriter, so my options there are limited... I don't know, did you have any specific ideas on how to implement this? Or would you simply like an option to have a second mon that starts at zero and grows with your words beyond 50k?
One way or another, thanks for the suggestion! I haven't had nearly as much opportunity to work on these guys as I'd like over the past couple years, but there are a number of improvements I want to make, and I'm always open to suggestions for new features or ways to streamline the current system.

This is my third year doing NaNoWriMo. Found this and I love the concept. This year though, it looks like I'll probably be passing the 50K mark soon, and was wondering if some kind of feature could potentially be implemented that could give people who pass 50K an additional Pokemon to level. Just something I thought could be cool.
