Development of the next version of EV-GEAR for iOS, which will be version 2.0, is progressing steadily. Some of you may be growing impatient or losing interest at this point, so I want to share some information and screenshots with you all today.

First, much of the interface of EV-GEAR 2.0 will look familiar since it is similar. The iPad and Retina 4-inch interfaces are not yet ready to show, but they are in the works. The major new feature I will discuss today is the Party. The Party is where you can switch between 6 Pokémon you are training. The Party is accessed from the redesigned Pokémon selection screen, which brings us to the first screenshot.

As you can see, the selected Pokémon is displayed with its type(s), EV yield, and some nice, friendly instructions. By tapping the Party button in the top left corner, you can access the Party, which initially looks like this.

Behold the Party. This is where you can switch between your Pokémon and do other things like save their progress and delete them. The first step is to tap on one of the 6 slots. Then, you will have to make a choice.

This should be fairly self-explanitory. The save button will save the currently loaded Pokémon to the selected Party slot. The load button will load the Pokémon saved to the selected Party slot. The delete button will remove the selected Pokémon from the Party. Let’s tap the save button for now.

As you can see, the Pokémon has been saved to the Party. Now, I can start training another Pokémon, save that one to another slot when I’m finished, and pick up where I left off with Charizard later.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this small preview of EV-GEAR 2 for iOS. Please feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you liked or didn’t like. There will be more preview posts coming soon so stay tuned.
