PokéBeach went through a massive redesign in May 2015 and relaunched with a brand new layout, new forum software, custom-made forum integration, an article program, an artist/storytelling program, an activities program, a TCG simulator, a Showdown server, expanded coverage of the anime, and several other major features. The move lead to an unprecedented increase in community activity and engagement. Water Pokémon Master stated he had secretly been working on the new website for two to three years, and that the project took long due to the sheer amount of staff members and programmers involved, the complexity and depth of the new features, and the secrecy he wanted to maintain. WPM stated that the new website was a considerable monetary and time investment on his part, forcing him to put his life on hold in the year leading up to its relaunch. However, he stated in his grand opening video that "the journey was worth it," and that he hoped the new PokéBeach would bolster the Pokémon community and its fans.
