Couldnt agree more. This is the method that ive resorted to, provided theres no language barrier....im usually on mobile, and Pokemmo really dislikes it when you put it in the background, even just for 30 seconds to use a translator. I greatly enjoy teaching people how to play the game, but sometimes its difficult. An in-game translator would be suuuper cool. But either way...its always;
Option A) someone wants to get free pokemon off you, even if its only worth 5-10k
Option B) they truly are lost and if they genuinely care to figure it out, then teaching them how to problem solve via typing, nature, IVs, EVs, etc....will ultimately better prepare for the future holes they will inevitably fall into.
If reebreding/catching a different pokemon or changing moves up is "too big of a hassel" then they simply need to face the fact that an MMO style pokemon is not suitable for their game style
This was done intentionally, rather than a simple oversight on the average players knowledge. This game is designed to make you a better player, if thats what you truly want to achieve. Otherwise simply downloading the base games and playing them on a gameboy simulator is where they need to begin. Its not like you dont have to download the roms *cough, cough* i mean, buy the roms, to play this game anyways. Then they can power level and romhack any legend they want and have 99999999 money and all the calciums and proteins their hearts desire
The game difficulty is what engaged so many players to stick around, make some friends and learn some things. Myself included. Once youve adopted the knowledge to navigate Pokemmo, its actually super simple, and making it easier would absolutely have a correlative effect on making it boring.
Even us more knowledgable players get handed new puzzles to figure out every year, with things like the boss battles in events, and the raids whenever they come out. Just wait for the begging to increase tenfold when the raids are released, cause thats going to absolutely have a lasting effect.
As Rys and Biel already suggested...either help them if you care to, or block them if youre annoyed by it. Is quite simple really
