Mate please garner a few thousand hours before creating a thread like this. This thread was literally your 2nd forum post which leads me to believe you don't have a broad understanding of how the community operates in game, as well as on the forums. We all have the right to an opinion but don't make demands especially in a threatening way. "believe me that there are things that we players can do so that the administrators listen to us and it is lowering the type of profits they generate or saturating everything". There are a lot of Pokemon MMO's that have failed over the years and this one is over 11 years old. Clearly that is a statement that the developers have a clear understanding regarding development. They might not always make deadlines but they're doing the best they can and because of this, we've had the privilege to play this game for said period. Not trying have a go at you. Just telling you how it is*

Phew, I thought for a second that this was indeed official. 

Interesting topic nonetheless.

Before starting with the general description, it is important to clarify that this is not official and is only the opinion of some players who have come together to share their ideas and perspectives.
 
In a world where each screen is a window to new universes, a fundamental question arises for any creator: How can you make your game stand out and be filled with imagination? To address this issue, we have gathered with the goal of exploring the keys that we consider essential to capture players' imagination and create an experience that lasts over time. Let's begin this creative journey, drawing on our experience as passionate players.
 
- In the world of video games, keeping players' interest is key. While annual events like Halloween, Christmas, and Chinese New Year bring excitement, there is a lack of new content for eight months of the year, which can lead to a decrease in player engagement. To address this, I propose the introduction of rotating events every x time, which may not be as grand as the aforementioned ones, bringing new participants like new Alphas, increasing the total number of special events from three to five per year. This strategy will not only maintain the interest of current players but also attract new users. With thematic events, challenges, and unique rewards, our game will stay fresh and appealing throughout the year, strengthening our community and ensuring a dynamic and exciting gaming experience.
         
      - This event could involve capturing certain Pokémon species with specific characteristics and delivering them to an NPC, taking us to the depths of the caves in different Pokémmo regions. This would require us to rotate through the worlds to obtain these Pokémon. After reaching the base and delivering them, rewards such as items for PvP or PvE could be received, unlocking new missions until reaching a specified maximum level, where the reward could be an Alpha Pokémon. This would give rotation to those Pokémon that, for various reasons, have not yet reached their Alpha form, possibly being exclusive to these events or at least obtainable through alternative means.
          
      - On the other hand, this event could consist of raids based on Violet or Scarlet Pokémon, requiring three players (taking advantage of triple battles) to join forces to defeat a Pokémon with special characteristics exclusive to that battle. This challenge would have a time or turn limit to collectively defeat the Pokémon. If players manage to defeat it, they can capture it; however, if time runs out or the Pokémon defeats the players, they cannot obtain it.
 
- The next point to address would be the implementation of more cosmetics during events, as the format of creating a skin and changing its color is not always feasible. At this point, the community could contribute by implementing their cosmetics, then posting them for the community to choose the best cosmetic to be introduced during the event. This would give better utility to the forum and make it more attractive, as for now, its function consists only of things that the community wants but are never implemented in new patches.
(Attached are images and ideas that I found on the forum as they are not my authority, and I give respective credits below.)
 
- The next point to discuss would be the implementation of loan teams, which, when uploaded, could be available to all players. The cost of uploading a loan team could vary in X amount of Pokédollars, allowing all users to use that team in PvP Ranked and friendly battles for free. By defeating the opponent, both the owner and the user of the team would share the winnings, making this system viable. This would also allow new players to start in the PvP environment in a less aggressive and/or time-consuming way.
 
- The proposal is to implement temporary bans on Pokémon and items in all categories per season to diversify strategies in PvP. This would prevent the repetition of the same Pokémon each season and encourage the use of less common varieties, promoting new tactics. Pokémon or items to be banned could be chosen based on their frequency of use or through votes on the forum, involving the community in the process. This measure would promote a renewed and stimulating gaming experience in each PvP season.
 
- We all know that the OU tier is the most played, indisputably, as it contains everyone's favorite Pokémon, standing out for their extensive moves or notable base statistics. This leaves other tiers in oblivion. At this point, I would like to adapt the rewards so that, each season, in a different tier, more Pokémon or better items are obtained. This would bring more rotation to those Pokémon and tiers with fewer user frequencies. This measure could attract the attention of more players to different tiers and encourage the previous idea of loan teams, helping to balance the official tournament schedule and significantly improving competitiveness in these tiers.
 
- Another important aspect to consider in the evolution of PokéMMO is the incorporation of legendary Pokémon, especially regarding their role in PvP battles. It is well known that most legendaries, due to their extraordinary abilities and statistics, could significantly unbalance these competitions. Therefore, I propose the solution of introducing a new battle category, Ubers.
In this category, players would have the freedom to use legendary Pokémon in PvP matchups, allowing these powerful characters to be enjoyed. However, to maintain balance and competitive fairness, these Uber battles would not grant any ranking rewards. The main objective would be to offer a fun and exciting gaming experience focused on the enjoyment of battles.
 
- The last point to address is the balance of abilities and moves like Relay, the Boost ability in Blaziken. It is essential to maintain a fair competitive environment. A viable solution would be to implement different rules for PvP and PvE. In PvP battles, existing restrictions would be maintained to preserve balance, for example, preventing Relay from transferring stat changes. On the other hand, in PvE, these limitations could be removed, allowing greater freedom and diversity in gameplay.
This strategy, similar to the adaptation made with Shedinja's Wonder Guard ability, would not only balance the game but also enrich possible tactics and strategies, encouraging more players to explore different approaches.
 
I want to remind you that this is not confirmed and are simply viewpoints that we could analyze for the benefit of PokeMMO.

Hi im posting this because i want share my toughts 
 
Hallowen was a copy paste from 2022
 
Christmas...well lets dont talk about that 
 
So we want a good new year event and i talk for all that THIS TIME WE NEED LIMITEDS COME ON

I don't want those more powerful Legendary Pokemon in the future to be obtained solely through wilderness hunting and dungeon activities
They are all too simple, so simple that you just need to complete tasks or accumulate luck
 
I would prefer Legendary Pokemon to be obtained through PvP, tournaments, and achievement systems.
Furthermore, even if these Legendary Pokemon cannot participate in PvP, as long as they can symbolize "effort" and "technology". Instead of "task" or "luck". I think that's the real "Legendary"
 
For example:
When you reach 15000 points in PvP matching matches (or more?)
You can obtain

Jirachi (Gift Pokemon)
(Can choose any IV and Ability, as well as learnable Move)
 
 
Accumulated 100 Shiny Pokemon (own OT)
(Or more?)
You can obtain

Shiny Victini (Gift Pokemon)
(Can choose any IV and Ability, as well as learnable Move)
 
Of course, these are just some examples
I didn't consider the openness of these Legendary Pokemon
 
Welcome to continue the discussion

Please use:
 
convertcase.net then select sentence case.

Dude, it's going to be okay. If farming legendaries suck, you can play other aspects of the game. It's really not worth it to get frustrated over a game. 
 
Unless cosplaying Giovanni and holding Mewtwo hostage is your thing.

Is there any chance you are an alt from Caio?

Team Plasma type beat

Legendaries should be free, and not held hostage. They shouldn't be passed from player to player and forced to fight just for the sake of BP and a Pokedex entry. 

But has anyone asked the legendaries if they want to be caught? I mean everybody is like "Where is Mewtwo?" but no one ever asks "How is Mewtwo?"

As a legendary hunter I always try to help people to register but the toxicity of these players didnt stop, they only come to release it so nobody can hold it for anything, I support this post.

It seems that your dont understand the point of the video and the legendaries system at all. All all you said is completly fine, funny, and we love to have "pvp wars" with another players of groups of them (sometimes we miss more people to join to the war because nobody is interested in legendaries). The problem is that these players don't want to hide nor have fun in PVP, they just want to log off when they have the legendaries, so nobody can enjoy all of this that you are saying (and I like too).
 
If you dont know, when someone log off with a legendary, it spawns in sprite form in the same spot where the player logged off in all channels and the system message appears in the whole region. If you press A to the sprite form, the legendary will go to the sixth slot of your team automatically and the message will be shown again, this time showing your name as the new owner. The problem is if you do this many times (5 or 7) the legendarie is released into the wild, so you need to wait 24 hours more or less to catch it again from the wild. For this reason the porpouse of these players is to do this process as fast as possible so nobody can have it. 

This is a very legitimate complaint. I'm all about creativity, but when it's abusive and intrusive to other players who strive to have the best experience they can with all of the hard work the devs have put into balancing and mechanics over the last 11 years, things like this need to be brought to attention. 
 
Thanks for speaking up

All I see is a story of heroes defending the legendary from people who simply want to take advantage of them for their own benefit. 

-------------------------------------------------------------[EN]-------------------------------------------------------------
This post is a complain and a suggetion at the same time, but I want to post it in general discussion to report the current situation to the whole community and the administrators related with the Legendaries (Keldeo, Rayquaza, Mewtwo and Arceus) and some extremely toxic players.
 
Basically, everytime that one of these Legendaries spawns (somebody catchs it) there are a group of people who come to log off with it with the porpouse of release it again into the wild, so nobody can have it:
 
- They don't want to farm BP what is completely fine and everyone have the right to do it. - They don't want to register it or let anyone register it. - They don't want to fight and run to hide somewhere, what is completely fine and Legendaries are meant to be for that and we love to have fun battling in triple battles.  
What they really want is to disconnect with Legendaries many times untill the Pokemon is released "into the wild" so if somebody wants it, they need to wait 24 hours more or less to catch it again. This group, after releasing it, makes fun of us, alleging that nobody deserves to have it. 
 
This have been happening months and months, they used a lot of bugs that you Devs know well, like Hearsthome gym ch0, or spamming the dueling button that was fixed thanks to you.
 
They reported us for "insulting" or "using bugs" everytime we try to keep It from being released and a lot of players are tired of this situation everytime we want to have fun in triples battles or calle people to have It. Basically nobody comes to register or to battle because this players are always waiting in another accounts to release it at the very moment it spawns.
 
It is too easy for them to release it and after they feel pleased, leaving toxic messages or making fun if they manage to release it.
 
They start to insulting us if they lose in a triple battle. They creates accounts to spy our teams and check if we have a hidden Legendary. They even created a private WhatsApp group to perform this. This situation is out of hand and we want the administrators to know It.
 
 
Is annoying and UNFAIR that 4 or 5 five players are doing what they want and making the Game more toxic and boring for the rest of us. Even if we are good at PVP It doesnt matter, in the next Battle the system make us have less Pokémons so it impossible to defend It from them.
 
So one of our suggetion (IMPORTANT) and please consider it, is to add a cooldown time to the players of 1 hour to challenging again a another player with a Legendary if they disconnect (very similar if you disconnect or let the time run in any PVP Tier), so they can't 'disconnect and grab', 'disconnect and grab' so easily.
 
We also made a video in english and spanish explaining this situation so please check it out. Thanks for reading.

Esta publicación es una queja y una sugerencia al mismo tiempo, pero quiero publicarla en la discusión general para informar la situación actual a toda la comunidad y los administradores relacionados con los Legendarios (Keldeo, Rayquaza, Mewtwo y Arceus) y algunos jugadores tóxicos.
 
Básicamente, cada vez que aparece uno de estos Legendarios (alguien lo atrapa) hay un grupo de personas que vienen a desconectarse con el propósito de liberarlo nuevamente en estado salvaje, para que nadie pueda tenerlo:
 
- No quieren que nadie obtenga PB. lo que está completamente MAL ya que todos deberían tener la oportunidad de hacerlo. - No quieren registrarlo ni dejar que nadie lo registre. - No quieren pelear y solamente llegan, los liberan y se van, lo cual está completamente MAL y sabemos que los Legendarios están destinados a volver al estado salvaje en algún momento. Nos gustan las batallas triples pero esto es diferente.  
por lo que si alguien lo quiere, debe esperar 24 horas más o menos para atraparlo nuevamente. Este grupo, después de liberarlos, se burla de nosotros, alegando que nadie merece tenerlo. Esto ha estado sucediendo durante meses, usaron muchos errores que ustedes, los desarrolladores, conocen bien, como Hearsthome gym ch0 (Ciudad Corazón), o enviar spam al botón de duelo que se solucionó gracias a ustedes.
 
Nos denunciaron por "insultar" o "usar errores" cada vez que tratamos de evitar que se publique y muchos jugadores están cansados de esta situación cada vez que queremos divertirnos en batallas triples o llamar a la gente para tenerlo. Básicamente, nadie viene a registrar o a pelear porque estos jugadores siempre están esperando en otras cuentas para liberarlos en el momento en el que aparecen.
 
Les resulta demasiado fácil soltarlo y después se sienten complacidos, dejando mensajes tóxicos o burlándose si logran liberarlo. Empiezan a insultarnos si pierden en una batalla triple.
 
Crean cuentas para espiar a nuestros equipos y comprobar si tenemos a algún Legendario oculto. Incluso crearon un grupo privado de WhatsApp para realizar esto. Esta situación está fuera de control y queremos que los administradores lo sepan.
 
Es molesto e INJUSTO que 4 o 5 cinco jugadores estén haciendo lo que quieren y haciendo el Juego más tóxico y aburrido para el resto de nosotros. Aunque seamos buenos en PVP No importa, en el próximo Combate el sistema hace que tengamos menos Pokémons por lo que es imposible defenderlo de ellos.
 
Así que una de nuestras sugerencias (IMPORTANTE) y por favor considéralo, es agregar un tiempo de espera a los jugadores de 1 hora para retar nuevamente a otro jugador con un Legendario si se desconectan (muy similar si desconectas o dejas correr el tiempo en cualquier Nivel PVP), por lo que no pueden 'desconectarse y agarrar', 'desconectarse y agarrar' tan fácilmente.
 
También hicimos un video en inglés y español explicando esta situación, así que échale un vistazo. Gracias por leer.

It's not really a threat, it's just explaining how they handle these sorts of situations. Still a terrible response, but we shouldn't make something bigger than it is

I think it'd be handy to have a portable PC, but there are definitely certain aspects of this idea that are obviously opposed. In the "portable" version, I'd like pokemon not to heal PP and potentially not HP so that we dont just get a random healing machine with us. We could further limit this by having it only usable after completing a region, and unable to be used in certain instances such as inside of gyms and during Elite 4. I think it's just a nice QoL thing to have, especially for an egg shunter who wants a cool hatch loc :c
