Sorry for bumping an old discussion.
I don't log in often as I did before, and I just discovered to my horror of the Shedinja nerf.
I came to Pokemmo after losing faith in gf, realizing they don't care about their creatures.
Often things here are changed or nerfed for balance reasons, but I mostly appreciated what the team behind Pokemmo did, and the ideas driving them.
But this nerf...I had to express my feelings, writing for the first time here, because I feel this was a mistake. I am aware the team is costantly looking for a delicate balance, I know we will never see a speed boost chicken or a contrary snake, but nerfing Shedinja accomplished next to nothing.
I am aware that the change was motivated by the ghost bug working decently against the E4, but the AI was perfectly capable of finding solutions against wonder guard as well, and there is a 6 hours cooldown on the E4, so this nerf feels to me like an overkill of an already extremely niche monster.
Keeping it as it is means for me that you don't really care about this pokemon, a victim for the sake of balance. I can't think of any use for the poor guy right now, aside from sitting in the pc. You can always keep the nerf just for e4 and gyms if you -really- think it's THAT important, but I feel that you should change the ability back like it was at least for pvp, things like battle tower and normal battles with wild monsters.
You did well by making clear that a speed boost blaziken is a big nope even in the future, but nerfing a NU pokemon? I hope you rethink carefully about this, I feel that this is a big step in a wrong direction.
