Gerbil2013

Hey guys, myself and a couple of friends are coming back to the game after two years. What's been added to the game? What mechanics have been changed? I'd really appreciate any answers. I'm excited to be back :)

the unbreakable pumpkin, I know right?

This is going to be us in competitive play... 

I miss this team  :( I miss all the awesome people that were a part of it  ;)

I want to see a DVRT reunion for the June Team Tournament.
 
MAKE IT HAPPEN ARCHI!

This thread will contain all the administrative decision made in the PokeMMO Super League Season 3. Administrative decisions are things like: activity decisions, tierlist updates, sellbacks, punishments, yellow card etc. All decisions will be posted with a reasoning and will be vetted by Noad and myself.
 
Like stated in the general thread, official PSL decisions are made by me and are final by the end of a week in which case they will be irreversible for consistency purposes. Managers, do not wait to make an appeal when you see things that aren't right.
 
Noad and I will be the only ones that may post in this thread. This thread will be on lock, but when it's not do not post in this thread.

Oh well, I'm up against Noad? For those of you who don't know me. I've been playing this game sine November 2013, I've been playing other pokemon games for as long as I can remember. I've been in numerous official and unofficial tourneys as well as hosted a couple of my own. I just want to let everyone know it'd be a really great opportunity to co-host the PSL and I'd dedicate my time to it and make it my top priority. 

This post was a prank in celebration of April Fools' day. It was never implemented.
 
Features
 
General
Initial Battle Frontier support Added Permadeath support. All party members in PvE battles will now permanently decease if they are defeated. Overworld Legendaries may now be caught permanently once a player wins 50 concurrent battles against unique players. Added Character Deletion functionality. Facebook Connect support
Added "Share on Facebook" and "Share on Twitter" buttons in the Main Menu Every unique share on Facebook/Twitter will now net you $1k in-game as well as a chance for a free Mystery Box. If your Facebook post is Shared 10 times or Liked 25 times, your Elite 4 cooldown will now be removed for 24 hours. If your Facebook post is Shared 50 times or Liked 250 times, you will now receive 500RP Overworld Hat Effects
Shards may now be ground up and glued onto hats in order to provide them with traits. Introduced the following overworld hat effects: Repel- Prevent wild encounters and NPC trainers from aggroing at a random chance (100%-.2% per Proc). Coincides with the Blue shard. EXP+- Increase party EXP gain by +300% (-1%/Battle). Coincides with the Yellow shard. IV+- Wild encounters have a minimum of (31-UsageCount) IVs on (6-UsageCount) different stats. Coincides with the Green shard. EV+- On death, wild encounters will now provide (Base EV)*(9-UsageCount) EVs to all active party members. Coincides with the Red shard. All hats' traits are subject to durability and will wear down depending on usage. Hats purchased from the Gift Shop will have infinite durability of traits applied to them. Hats with Traits will no longer be tradeable. Only one Hat with a Trait may be active at a time. Cosmetics
Character sprites have been remodeled to more closely resemble GBA sprites. Removed support for HG/SS visual enhancements. GUI
Added /recruit chat command- This chat command sends a message to all players on the server that your Team is recruiting. Added /wts chat command- This chat command sends a message to all players on the server that your party member is for sale. Added support for certain chat -> emote aliases. Currently supported emotes are: LennyFaceNoSpace ->  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Balancing
 
General
Trainer Tower BP payout reduced by 20% Running Shoes and Bicycles now have durability. Usage of these items will reduce their durability. Durability may be restored with a small fee. Healing party members will now cost a small fee. Larger species cost more to heal. Ghost/Psychic types now require special healing in Graveyards in order to restore their mental health. HM usage now has a small cooldown associated with each effect. Removed Berry Merchant. Breeding
Parents are no longer consumed on being bred. New egg hatching mechanics: Added "Egg Case." The Egg Case functions as a 7th party slot which will hold your egg while incubating. Added "Egg Temperature" support. Egg temperatures are affected by your current map's temperature. If the temperature of the egg becomes too cold, too warm, or you take too long to hatch the egg, the egg will now decease. All species now fall within 10 blood groups, each of which require different temperatures to hatch. Each map now falls within 5 categories of temperature; MILD COOL COLD WARM HOT Happiness
Happiness will now affect the battle performance of your party. Lower happiness will temporarily result in lower effective IVs. Added support for Negative IVs. Negative IVs will reduce the power of moves and cause PP exhaustion to occur at faster rates. Feeding berries to your party will now improve their happiness. PVP
Official tier lists are no longer supported Tournament Mode will now abide by VGC rules Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Shinies would appear in the wild without Donator Status being active. Fixed an issue where Flash's overworld effects would persist after the caster fainted. Fixed an issue where the Elite 4 cooldown would begin counting down when the player entered instead of after completion/failure.

i vote gerbil.

How u not know who Gerbil is

I don't think Noad has enough experience running competitive events so my vote goes to Gerbil.

More red pandas

The problem about scouting is that it puts newer players at a huge disadvantage, especially because they do not have the right resources to swap around. I would not recommend you to run the same team throughout an official, since people will find a way to trap something crucial to you (forretress/skarmory or blissey/snorlax) and then they will have an easy way to dismantle the rest of the team.
 
When I was new, I had this problem while playing officials. Certain bigger teams would scout my team after I defeated one of their members, and do everything they could to get me disqualified. Some people would go as far as spamming my team in whispers. That is why I believe it is safer to change teams.
 
Sorry for intruding in your team thread, but I know how problematic scouting is.

PokeMMO Spring Championship
 
This is a 10 week long event in which players will battle towards becoming the Spring Champion!
 
How is this going to work:
 
There is going to be a qualifying tournament each week for 8 weeks on Saturday (around 4 or 5 PM EST)
 
For each qualifying tournament, the finalists will move on to the Championship Finals. This means that 2 players for each qualifying tournament will get a ticket for the Championship Finals at the end of the 10 weeks.
 
The qualifying tournaments will be 32 man Single Elimination 6v6 OU.
The Championship Finals will be 16 man Double Elimination 6v6 OU.
 
Obviously there is a big chance of a player getting multiple tickets or not being able to make the actual Championship Finals. That's why there will be a Bronze Match for each qualifying tournament. (The 2 players who lost in the Semi Finals will battle each other).
 
These (max 8) players will play in week 9 in a Round Robin Tournament to decide the order of reserves. (If somebody has more than 1 3rd place, he/she will get priority in reserves spots. (meaning he/she will not have to play against the ones who only have 1 3rd place))
 
Week 10 is going to be the actual Championship Finals. 16 man double Elimination 6v6 OU.
 
The qualifying tournaments, the 3rd place round robin reserves tournament, and the Championship Finals will all be on Saturday around 4 or 5 PM EST.
 
Now on to the prizes:
 
First Place: Choice between: Competitive Gift Shiny Starter OR Competitive Gift Shiny Beldum (25 in all IV's and 31 speed) + Breeders Pack (10 PP Max + 20 Everstones + 5 Ability Pills + 10 Speed Braces + 10 HP Braces) OR 40000 Battle Points
 
Second Place: Choice between: Competitive Gift Shiny Bagon OR Competitive Gift Shiny Skarmory OR Competitive Gift Shiny Larvitar (25 in all IV's and 31 speed) + Breeders Pack (5 PP Max + 10 Everstones + 2 Ability Pills + 5 Speed Braces + 5 HP Braces) OR 20000 Battle Points
 
Third Place: Choice between: Competitive Gift Shiny Teddiursa OR Competitive Gift Shiny Ponyta OR Competitive Gift Shiny Spinarak (25 in all IV's and 31 speed) + 500 RP
 
I assume there are a lot of questions, so ask away!

Is there anyway we could access our Pokemon in our secret hideout/base? I was just wondering if you could implement a way to be able to access all your pokemon while in your little hideout. I think it'd be cool to be able to sit in a special place with your friends or team and battle or trade or really do anything with your pokemon. Let me know what you guys think or just tell me how dumb an idea it is :P. Thanks!  :)
