Snipers are taking advantage of mistakes that are already happening, and if you don't buy it, someone else will. It isn't fair to punish players for this as the mistake was entirely the seller's.
 
Repeatedly posting misleading listings until someone falls for it is actively trying to cause mistakes to happen, and it works, with the scammer making a large amount of profit in the process. To be clear, we only permanently ban for this when it's obviously intentional and usually pursue more lenient options first.
 
The two aren't really comparable. We'll be taking steps to make this sort of scam less viable in future updates though.

1 day donator status ticket for somewhere in the range of 80-100rp (so more expensive than a 7 day on a per day basis, but sometimes we just want to hunt on a single day not a whole week straight, so could save $ for us).

Let me start off by saying that the PvP update about a year ago was a good step towards the right direction. The effectiveness of the update can be seen that it resulted in people playing Underused and Neverused tiers at least sometimes, which is something that before never happened before. In addition, the inclusion of Doubles to matchmaking has been successful for the most part.
 
The problem with the Matchmaking system is that it is still not rewarding enough. To be honest, it's not even close. In addition, the foundation of PokeMMO economics are broken or at the very least unfair to competitive players. The casuals (or "farmers") are the suppliers and competitive players are the consumers. The problem is that for the most part, this works only in one way. For a healthy MMO economy, both of these groups have to have something that the other group may desire in order to make the endgame economy balanced. The problem is that competitive players have no commodity to sell to the casuals. The seasonal vanities are untradable, the vanity prizes are untradable, the shiny prizes are untradable, even the budget comps from matchmaking rewards are untradable. Everything that is tradable from the matchmaking rewards are something that the casual players could already get with minimal effort, besides PvP Mystery Boxes and Battle Point purchasable items which are pretty much the only exception to the rule I'm saying right now. (And ironically the people desiring the Battle Point prize items are other PvP players). And what comes to tournaments, the only tradable commodity is the Reward Point prize reward which even though is nice and useful is definitely not fair in terms of difficulty-to-reward, considering how difficult it is to win 64+ player tournaments against the best PvP players in the game (unless you have thousands of hours of experience).
 
In my opinion, the fix for the economy would be to have more competitively obtainable prizes that are 1) desirable 2) unobtainable by the non-PVP playerbase with minimal effort. This would balance out the economy by making the demand two-way and thus make it more fair for competitive players. It is important that it is viable to increase your wealth by both playing casually and also by playing PvP events. Currently it is (still) not that way. It is quite saddening to see that most competitive players are getting resources by selling their old time limited vanities because these are the only commodities the casual playerbase is interested of buying from competitive players. This is why we need something else to sell to casuals - if tradable shinies are completely off-limits it can be useful tradable items (such as shiny charms) to tradable desired vanities, for example. This way the casuals would supply competitive players with competitive Pokemon/breeders/useful battle items and the competitive players would supply the casual playerbase with desired items and vanities. I think this would highly balance out the PokeMMO economy by making the demand two-way. Looking forward to hear your opinions.
 

Add Cancel button to reedo your move or we cancel PokeMMO.
 
 
 
(Also add pp counter, screens counter, weather counter, move check, item check, base speed check) ty

I would like to see an addtional option for the "Chat Sound Notification Options"
 
We got a Highlighted Sound everytime a word comes up you choosed to get notifed of. for example: you write "charmander" into the list of words you want to be notified of, and if somebody writes "charmander" in global chat, you get the notification sound. EZ!
 
But how about we add some colour to it? not in a way that players can write with colour, but those highlighted words ( Darkoure / Darkoure  ) appear in maybe a choosen colour ( of course not for everyone, just for yourself since you decide which word you want to get notfied of ). Often I have to search the chat for the wanted information and sometimes I just cant find it so I give up because the chat is to fast especially if you´ve enabled all languages.
I would be so grateful for saving time  instead of scrolling up and down because I cant find that one word that triggered it.
 
This Idea is not just an easier way to check the chat to farm Phenos or Swarms, it is indeed helpful, since we! The Community are helping eachother out already with calls it is also helpful for the trade chat or if somebody is calling your Name or even shouting "events. 
 
This way you can use more words to get notified of and it doesnt have to peep peep all the time- More possiblites more enjoyment. <3
 
Also a big  ++ for people who have problems with hearing or people who are playing without sounds.. (maybe at night)
and a huge help for Android players, because you don't see the chat all the time, it's even harder to follow.
 
Thanks for reading :3

Secret Bases 2.0:
1) New Secret Base layouts would be added.
2) Secret Bases have the option to be set to public, invite only, friends only or closed. Closed would mean no one can visit the Secret Base. Invite only means you must have an invite to enter the Secret Base. Friends only means you must be on the owner's friend's list and the owner must be online to enter the Secret Base. And, public means anyone can enter the Secret Base as long as the owner is online.
3) People have an option to "like" Secret Bases they visit.
4) The ability to add a Secret Base to your "Favorites" list so you can visit it at any time.
5) A popularity leaderboard where rankings are determined by how many "likes" a Secret Base has.
6) The ability to invite friends to your Secret Base.
7) A menu that allows you to see where your Secret Base is located, how many visits and likes it has received and the Secret Base popularity leaderboard.
8) Secret Base decorations can now be sold and purchased off the GTL, traded between players and gifted to other players via mail.
 
Team Secret Bases:
1) Team Bosses can create a "Team Secret Base"
2) Team members can visit the Team Secret Base at any given time regardless whether the Boss is online or not.
3) Team Secret Bases are generally larger than regular Secret Bases and feature various exclusive decorations (Battle Arena, PC, Spectator Bleachers, etc.)
4) Team members can contribute decorations to the Team Secret Base.
5) The power to edit the Team Secret Base can be granted to chosen team members by the Boss.
6) Non team members can enter the Team Secret Base if given an invite.

Simply put, the term “donations” in terms of getting reward points with real life money is simply false advertising.
 
It should just be called in-game/in-MMO purchases.
 
I am aware that a donation is a gift for a cause, like charities and such.
But when you donate for those, usually you don’t get anything out of it, other than the feeling of benevolence in your heart, a good reputation, or maybe a pat on the back.
So in other words, when you truly donate, you don’t necessarily get a material incentive out of it.
 
Hence, why PokeMMO calling the purchase of reward points with real money “donations” is just clear false advertising and an attempt to hide the fact that a profit is being made.
 
If it really was a donation, it’d go along the terms of:
“If you enjoy our game, please consider donating to our cause for support”
Meaning that people would donate purely to support the game and not for any other reason.
In other words, you wouldn’t be getting any reward points if it truly was a donation.
 
Because by that logic, I’m “donating” if I buy Gems on Clash of Clans or PokeCoins in Pokemon Go.
 
Not implying that PokeMMO is 100% P2W as you can win without spending a cent. Just pointing out that calling micro-transactions “donations” is inaccurate and false advertising.
 
Comment below if you want, I’m just making my case/point clear.

just buff gyns money

next

Not exactly. I buy leppas, but grow other berries, because they fit my schedule better and the yield is good enough to make money off of it. The nerf you all want (apparently, i still dont really understand why) already happened when they raised the price of harvesting tools and lowered the sell price of berries to NPCs. I use 2 accounts and still only make about 150k more every day than a gymrun would give me. It's not as broken as this thread makes it seem, you need like at least 3-4 accounts with unova finished to make A LOT of money off berries. Another factor that hasn't been mentioned here is the importance of sticking to your schedule. If i am 1 hour behind on schedule, i lose a significant amount of berries and the profit drops. It's all a little more complicated than planting berries, waiting ~20 hours and collecting your money. 
 
Nerfing even more would only result in making the game even more boring, with the best way of making money to be fighting the same NPCs over and over again. The way it works now, you have a way to make money and still have the time to actually have fun playing the game, I don't see why you would change that. 

Because there are berries that no one actually uses, so unless you want to wait 2 months for an obscure berry to sell, you sell em to NPCs. If you grow something thats used a lot (Leppas, EV reducing berries, ...) its better to sell them on GTL. 
 
Anyway, OP seems to be missing the factor that farming berries requires you to stick to a schedule, while you can do gymruns whenever you please. Not to mention it already got nerfed, they raised the prices of harvesting tools a while back. I spend about 300k on harvesting tools every day, that's as much as your profit from gymruns. To me it feels like this post was made by someone that doesn't understand berryfarming at all. 

I actually want to enjoy playing this game, by growing berries i don't have to waste 2 hours of my life battling NPCs every day and i can focus on the things that are actually fun. 

The berry farming is only economically viable when you have all the options in the game available to you. If there was a massive influx of berries and no money available, the money that players would be willing to pay for the berries would be minimal. The fact that people are able to pay that money to the people farming those berries to make it profitable implies that there's no shortage of PokeYen in the market. The thing is, a big part of the PokeYen in the game is generated by people playing the storyline and that's their only way of gaining "wealth". The fact that when you have everything available and you can take use of it is a good thing and it encourages to complete the game and make everything available to you. In this sense, I see no problem whatsoever, quite opposite actually.
 
If there's anything, I think it's sort of weird that berry farming is so AFK based resource gathering. But this being said, after being forced to actively grind this game to gain any resources, I wouldn't wish that suffering for anyone. I think it's sort of win-win. The people who play the storyline would do the NPC battles anyways and they have an influx of PokeYen to the game. The people who are done with the game gain it via berry farming.

Going with more "MMO-Like" suggestions, I really like this one too, and it's not even mine!
 
I don't now how many money PokeMMO is winning to maintain the servers with vanities, ocarinas, etcetera, but maybe it would worth the shot to see this done.
 
Not even all the vanities have to be craftable, but maybe some of them. Less sold, some seasonal, new ones... I'm resurrecting the post and upvoting this. Hoping that more people is going to do the same!

Not if craftable vanities are unique and can only be crafted. I like the idea, it's unique and wouldn't be bad at all imo :)

My idea is to expand the crafting system to include recipes that reward you with vanity items.
I read that one of the problems with the game economy is the inflation of vanity accesories and the lack of a sink for the excess of items obtained via farming, ¿why not kill two birds with one stone?
Ex:
- 8 razor fangs+1 choice scarf+ 2 expert belt= Krookodile Dundee Hat
You can make the items seasonal just to create a dinamic market that changes depending on what items are hot in the crafting rotation, it would add another level to the MMo aspect of the game, since the current crafting system is rather poor.

make a team of six walls and make people forfeit

No

Simple solution, ban weather

We all know that Togekiss is in the wrong tier for some misunderstanding ( as we know, Togekiss should be to be tier UU). I bring some ideas that could make the Togekiss more balanced in the OU:

1- Allow OP ITENS (like King's rock) for togekiss. Yes!  That would leave Togekiss fairly balanced.
 
2-  allow teams with more than one Togekiss with  with different builds (paraflinch; defensive nasty plot; offensive; cleric...).  I would like to create a new char called "TOGESIXSIX" and use 6 togewalls.
 
3- Put Togepi as starter in all regions. Everyone deserve to have a Togekiss.

4- Where are the Togekiss outfit? Add this vanity, please.

5- No one cares for Black City, add TOGE CITY, like the "Togepi Paradise" ( episode 45, Advanced Generation series)
 
6- change POKEMMO to "TOGEMMO".  Its more cool.

Please staff o pokemmo, let’s do this big game again...

@FlareBlitzz time to update the thread.
 
I won't show OT but this is now his 4th hatched shiny. Big on RP selling. I smell something.
 
Guess all I can say is SRIF ;D

Here's a really simple, and mostly jokey, mod. It replaces all the bicycle music (in all four regions) with Bicycle Race by Queen. The file is about 27 MBs, and can be found here. EDIT 7/18/21 - Files have been changed to .OGG format for better stability, mod should also now work on Android!
 
As ever, a big thanks to Eggplant and their music mod tutorial, which can be found here.
