People leave cause the game lacks an end game, its literally this simple. Shiny hunting is boring and if you say otherwise, please seek professional help. And comp wise you can find a better environment elsewhere where there is a functional TC and environment. Other than that you just chat technically, and you can do that elsewhere too

There's not much to do in the game, except play pvp and spend hours on stupid farms with ridiculous rates (mysteriously, despite ridiculous rates, you have the gtl full of x999 items for sale xD)
 
It would be nice to implement things that are not behind a probability, combat missions to obtain such objects, something more dependent on the player's skill and not luck,
 
it is an MMO we do not have dungeon raids like other MMOs.
 
Implementing objects and things behind an insanely low probability only encourages you to install a bot lmao
 
People get bored and leave, then come back when there is something new, at the end of the day the game is good

The devs also need to communicate more.  We did a massive grind for the wishing stone in December and havnt gotten any update now in May.

I love the game and have praised the dev team many times in the past, but I think the recent choices have been counter productive on players retention.
 
- 1) Alphas were supposed to be a way to get or breed COMPs and semi-COMPs in an easier way, and it was a great idea! 
but honestly I think the catching rate has became ridiculous now, it just takes way too much time, cost too much money in balls, and at the end the alpha will just kill itself with struggle, even after 25 balls while asleep at 1HP  I play since 2013 and I find it ridiculous so I can't imagine how a new player would feel.
Every time players find new strategy it gets immediately nerfed.
I made a suggestion about making players able to craft masterball, it could be a nice way to add value to items in the economy and new things to farm.
 
2) Legendaries : they were something that was promised long ago, and sadly instead of raids or dungeons all we got is some kind of shiny hunting tutorial. But going left-right ad aeternam isn't really fun gameplay.
3v1 boss fights with other players would have made more sense IMHO 
The encounter rate is too low and players get burn out quickly.
 
I think PokeMMO should focus more on guilds, team play(outside of seasonal events), and PvP (like bringing back lc and introducing stuff like monotype tier or pika cup)
 
For the PvE part, since like 80% of players leave after finishing storyline, I think a Nuzlocke or Hardcore or Monotype or  Soul link or speedrun or All at once would be a nice way to go, looking at content that works on twitch and youtube
 
For PvP an automated clan war would be super nice, and automated team tournament also.
 
DISCLAIMER : I love the game and the community, I am just trying to bring constructive ideas, please don't roast me like the time I said Johto region is useless except pokeathlon
 
 

bubble beam blaster
 
 

Couldn't find the video to link it but there was a player soloing it with a piplup. 
The issue is you. 

I've read it until IV and EV boost and I'm not going any further because reading this feels like touching the food at the bottom of the sink after doing dishes

My name is Dex. More importantly, I am a Pokémon Trainer with a vested interest in investigating and reporting on the Pokémon World. Every town, I will find out what the heart of the people is, potentially some gossip or rumours, and go into the culture of each town and region I enter. I believe that we can learn a lot from dissecting the vested interests of the people while listening to stories to acquire different perspectives on the issues of today. Starting off my story, I will begin in the Kanto region.
 

 
Pallet Town: [Pictured Below]

 
Though not looking like much at first glance, this is where I begin my journey. With plenty
of flora in the area, Pallet Town is a fantastic place to raise a child. Most children in Pallet town
are quite sociable, often times giving advice to newcomers. For instance, not pictured, a resident
kindly told me about a sign on the road to read. Furthermore, Professor Oak's granddaughter was comfortable
giving me a town map to assist me in my travels. Many people see Pallet Town as just a small
settlement to attain your Starter Pokémon, but it is so much more than that. 
 
 

I was in fact fortunate enough to talk with a young gentleman regarding technology. 
He proceeded to tell me about the science behind Pokéballs, followed by situations in which 
you might use a certain Pokéball over another. I was fortunate enough to get a quote in
order to spread his word.

"You see, if you think about it in a quantifiable term, the standard Pokéball would be 
a strength of 1. However, a Great Ball would be 1.5x that. Even better, an Ultra Ball would
be 2x as effective as your standard Pokéball!"
-Brett, 19, Pokémon Trainer

Many such instances as this one wherein a friendly stranger will simply
offer their hand for you to accept. A fantastic culture of kindness and altruism is quite
prevalent in Pallet Town.

Many great Journeys however begin with the decision of your starter Pokemon. 
I decided to choose Squirtle before setting off on my journey. In conjunction of doing
my reporting, I will be entering the Pokémon League challenge. A staple of many regions
in the Pokémon world, aside from Aloha's Island Challenge of course. 
 
Professor Oak's research is based in understanding the relationship between people and Pokemon
alike. Through understanding the bonds between these two groups, we can get a further understanding of the
way in which Pokemon communicate and grow in relation to one another. This is what Professor Oak
had to say on the matter.
 
"For some people, Pokemon are pets. Others use them for fights. I believe that there are nuances
to understand on both sides of the spectrum. Through my research, I wish to unravel some of these
nuances to create the perfect environment for people and Pokemon to succeed in." 
-Pokemon Professor, Samuel Oak
 
A fantastic response, and one that many people should take the time to understand.
 
 
 
 

Thank you all for reading! Some great insights for our first report.
Tune in next post in which we discuss Viridian City, as well as its
relationship with Pallet Town and Pewter City

Hello and I'm writing to make some suggestions on the game.
1.Matchmaking update:add new mode three out of six match.This mode you choose three out of the six in your party to battle each time.Before the match starts,you can see each others' pokemon and ban one of the opponents' pokemon.Than you choose three out of the five available pokemons left and join the battle.(choose lead before starting).This mode should be rewarded with less point because it lasts shorter than 6v6.Here I will introduce two new potions in game:ev boost and iv reset potion.Iv reset potion resets the chosen iv to 31 or 0.ev boost gives the pokemon additional ev above 510 in the ev chosen.For example,I have a pokemon with 510ev.Now I use 1 ev boost on its attack.I can now add 16 more ev to the attack ev.One pokemon can have 10 ev boosts max,giving it the potential to reach 670 total ev.You mustn't add the addional ev to the ungiven part of the ev.For example I used 6 ev boosts on the attack stat and 4 on the speed stat.When the total of my ev reachs 510, I can add 6*16=96 evs to the attack stat and 4*16=64 on the speed stat.When the ev tatal is above 510,I mustn't add ev to any other stats except for the stats I've used ev boosts on.That's the rule for ev boost.The way you can get ev boost and iv reset potion is only through rewards of the matchmaking.It can't be bought by bp, but trade is allowed.The match making should introduce two category of level, level 50 amd level 100.The halfway reward of matchmaking level 50 is usually a 2v pokemon,but now you can choose between it and 4 ev boosts.The final reward should be 2 iv reset potion.The reward doubles at level 100,which is 8 ev boosts or a 4v pokemon halfway,and 4 iv reset potions in the end.Player can choose to turn on the ev boost, if they do nothing, the system automatically select "no ev boost allowed",which earns you points at the original rate.If player turns on "ev boost",the match will allow ev boost and the rate at which the point accumulates increases(rate you decide).ev boosted pokemons can also join un ev boosted matches ,in which the additional part of their evs will be removed.ev boosted pokemon should be highlighted in red in global trade market.
New modes of matchmaking added: king of the type mode.In this mode ,player can only use the chosen type of pokemon.For example, in the king of electric match, Player must use six different electric type pokemon.(is rotom wash the same pokemon as rotom mow?)Each time you win you will get 1 xl candy if you are at level 50, and 2 xl candies at level 100.If you turn on the ev boost, you get 2 for winning a 50 level match, and 3 for 100 level match.If you win five times in a row, you will get a king of the type dress(hat?), or you can choose to get a particle effect "king of the type" for your pokemon.If you win 5 times in a row or have won 20 times in total,you get an opportunity of signing up for the next level of challenge.The next level of challenge has five matches.Each time you win, you get 1 ev boost at level 50,2 at level 100 and if you turn on the ev boost, the numbers are 2 and 3.If you win all the matches in the challenge you will get 1+x iv reset potions at level 50, and 2+x iv reset potions at level 100.x is the number of matches you have turned on ev boost in this challenge.x is from 0 to 5.After five matches the challenge ends and you have to have enough wins or a winstreak to sign up for another one.
Introduce two other new types of match: monotype match and dualtype match.In monotype match you can only choose six different monotype pokemons(type mustn't overlap)to join the game.In dualtype match you can only choose six different dualtype pokemons, whose typing mustn't overlap one another.The rewards and matching rules are the same as the "king of the type"match except you cannot get dress or particle effects.Also players can choose to turn on "original" matching,in which all the matchmaking you cannot see the opponents' team at first.You just choose your lead before entering the game.The opponents pokemons remain hidden until they appear on the screen, and they will appear on the top right of the screen.This function does nit bring you any benefits.
(Note:you can only matchmake with the opponents at the same level and mode, including category,ev boost or not,original or not).
2.base opened.You are allowed to build base in Hoenn.You can choose the accessibility of your base, if you don't choose your base will not be open to anyone.You can select members of your friends and clan to be accessible to your base.Or you can choose open to all.When you go into your base, the entrance autoselect your base to enter through the door.If this is not your base or you want to go to other bases, you can use the doorbell on the left side of the door and choose "enter random base,"or "enter friends' base,"or "enter clan members' base", or "enter marked spaces".If you enter a random person's space and you like it,you can mark his or her base for next visit.There is a pc in the base and the pc is the owner of the bases'.If you visit somebody elses base you can view his garage and see all his pokemon.However the owner can set "not open to all", or if he didn't do anything the system autoselects " open to all".When the garage is not open you cannot see anything in the pc.The owner can also choose partial blocking the garage, leaving the garage partially blocked.The visitor can rent available pokemons in his pc ,the price of the rent is given by the owner.For example, I have an empoleon in my garage and I give it rent price of 2000.Then I can also set this pokemon is for free for some of my friends or clan members only.Then when sb visits my base he can rent my empoleon at 2000 and rent at most 5 other pokemons at a time,and give items to the pokemons he has rented.Then he can battle himself with the six rented pokemons on one team and six his pokemons on the other team.This is called self battling.After the match ends the six rented pokemons disappear,and their items return to you.You can also self battle in your own base all using your own pokemons.The rent is given to the owner of the base when the self battle ends.If you don't start the battle, you won't have to pay the rent.Also in the base you have many accesories,I suggest some can change with holidays such as Christmas trees and mid autumn festival.
You can also add pictures to an album on the wall in your base.Players upload pictures and gets examined by you game mods before it will be allowed inthe album.The album remains open to no one until you set the ones you want it to be open to,such as (certain)friends and clan members, or you can choose open to all.Once the picture is open, the picture can be downloaded by the viewer.The exhibiter can write some words at the bottom of the picture to introduce it.This will make the base more personal.If you want to move base, you can choose to move it.But if somebody is in the base the base will remain the same to him until he exits the base.If your marked base has been removed, the doorbell will tell you where is the new base.You can write letters to the base owner with mail.You can invite other people to your base by posting links in conversations.When he or she clicks the link, the map of Hoenn will show where the base is at.When he or she arrives at the base's door, the portal will lead directly to the link's base unless chosen on the doorbell.You can just go in there like your own base.(prioritize going into link's base).
3.Sinnoh's underground.Open Sinnoh's underground.You can limit the time of going underground per day in game to six hours.Add these new items to the underground mine.Add ancient seed to the mine.The rarity is about 1%(dig 100 mines you averagely gets one).This seed can be planted to grow the ancient fruit, which allows you to change the eater's disposition.(timid etc.)One seed can only grow one fruit.The seed can not be generated from any source except from mine.And the duration of growth for this fruit should be considerably longer.Also add iron ore, copper,cobalt and strongtium(Sr)ore to the mine.The rarity should be 5 percent.These are related to the manufacture of fireworks in the game.Originally fireworks can be bought,but now it can only be obtained through opening lucky packets or boxs,or synthesis.You can respectively synthesize Red,Orange,Yellow,Green,Blue,Purple fireworks by getting those materials respectively:iron ball or iron,strongtium,shoal salt(Hoenn cave),copper,cobalt and wood ash.Add those to 100 steps of volcano ash and one charcoal to get the colored fireworks.You should bring those to Fuego Ironworks and ask him to synthesize firework for you.He can also get you iron, cobalt,copper,strongtium by giving him the ore.It does not cost money.Wood ash can only be obtained by killing(burn kills included) wild tangrowth with fire type moves.Wood ash and volcano ash (100 steps) can also be used for fertilizer for berries.If you add wood ash to berry, the berry ripens 3 times as fast,and volcano ash doubles the growth of berries.You mustn't add them at the same time, and each kind of fertilizers can only be added once.The water consumption also doubles if you add the speed boosting fertilizers(wood ash or volcano ash).There is anothe kind of fertilizer,you get one piece of dung from the daycare pokemon per day in game.You collect the dung when you retrieve the daycare pokemon.Add on dung to the berry you will get water slow consumption.The water consumption rate is halfed if you add one dung to the berry.If you add another(max),you will get a double harvest,and the water consumption rate is normal.You can buy fertilizers at the flower shop.Speed boost fertilizer costs 1000,water saving fertilizer costs 1500 and double harvest fertilizer costs 2500.You cannot add water saving fertilizer and double harvest fertilizer at the same time.The berries may also attract bugs, the rate of bug generation is 1/4 in spring, 1/6 in summer, 1/8in autumn and 0 in winter.However the rate of growth of berries in spring summer autumn and winter is 4:3:2:1.Once there is a bug on tree, you will encounter it if you touch the tree,and if you beat it or catch it the tree will not grow more bugs.If you lose to the bug the berries will be gone.If you quit, the next time you come back the bug will still be there, and the level of it will increase.Level of bug and types may have to do with the berries you plant as well as the season.If your berry dies of thirst, the bug will disappear.If you buy some pesticide from flower shop for 500 each, and spray it on the berry before there is any bug on it, there will be no bugs on the tree you've sprayed.
Also open up battle frontier, battle subway, and battle ferries(the one at the right side of castelia port).Open up fashion show(for example the one in heartholm city),poffin(not sure if its the right spelling but its the thing you make with berries and are called pokeblocks now)making.Can add some prizes to the fashion show such as ev boosts or iv boosts, or maybe some nice dress.(ribbons?)
Finally, there is one more thing to be added into the game.Monoperson gaming mode should be added into the game in which you become invisible to others and cannot see other players.In this way you can enjoy it yourself.Chat is allowed.
I wish you a happy June and hope that pokemmo will be better and better!
                                                Yours,
                                                       Houston.
              
 

This mod replaces every single Generation 1-4 shiny sprite with shiny sprites from Generations 3&4.
 
The sprites used in this mod are from: Emerald, Diamond/Pearl, Platinum, and HeartGold/SoulSilver. 
 
All sprites are animated. 
 
Preview:
 
 
This mod ONLY replaces the sprites of shiny Pokemon. 
 
This mod ONLY replaces the front sprites, it does not replace back sprites. 
 
The sprites selected were the most distinct or unique ones vs the base B&W sprites. 
I aimed to pick the most vibrant and colorful shiny sprites that had the most unique animations or poses. 
 
This mod was tested to work on PC, Android, and iOS. 
 
There are two versions of this mod: “Regular Sized Shiny Sprites” and “Extra Large Sized Shiny Sprites”. 
 
The “Extra Large” version increases the size of shiny Pokemon in battles. This makes it more obvious when a shiny appears on screen.
 It will also increase the size of shinies from Generation 5. 
 
Important Note: The “Extra Large” version has a quirk where some shinies may be “floating” in the summary page (example shown below). This is required in order to get XL sprites to work properly in battle. If this bothers you, the Regular Sized version does not have this quirk.
 
“Regular Sized Shiny Sprites”:

“Extra Large Sized Shiny Sprites”:

I hope you all enjoy!

PokeMMO Twitch Category - That's right! I'm sure most Twitch viewers are already aware of this, but I didn't see anyone mentioning it on the forums. So, I thought I'd share this information to make sure everyone is in the loop. come show some love to the PokeMMO streamers to celebrate! 

And this is my Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/pumpactionwang

**If you're a PokeMMO Streamer that i did not mention here and you mainly stream PokeMMO and would like to be put on the list then just comment your stream below and i'll gladly add you!**

I cannot express how much this comment means to me ❤️ Thanks for your kind words.

Similar to hiding your hat, I think hiding the back slot would be a convenient small QoL change in cosmetic previews. I think that a lot of backslot items have pretty intense changes on the outfit you're planning. Just a small change, I'm not sure if it's been suggested before but yeah 🙂

Great voice for podcasting. Really enjoyed having this on in the background while playing 

New Save File: Launch of the PokeMMO Podcast!
 

You know the block features a thing right? Seems dramatic to create a whole channel to solve a problem that already has a simple solution.
Overall this feels unbecoming of a community to shut out its content creators and teams from spreading their links. They're not breaking any rules by sharing their streams link or their teams discord to recruit members.

i love this mod,it creates a scrawl feeling for the pm.I'm looking forward to it's continuous optimization, and even in the future, it can upscale other mod such as follows items and icons.

Hello ^^
 
I really liked the graphics patch for Hoenn, I leave several screenshots that I took when I tried it, of all, what caught my attention was the point of the drill light effects (?), which you placed in the middle of the pokemon center and the pokemart, making a good combination with the day and night system of the game, plus the perfect animation of the waterfall outside the pokemon league building.
 
Excellent work

Love the engineer outfit for torso and the toolbox for the hand slot as we barely have any
