In Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald your character is able to build a secret base using secret power on specific walls, trees or bushes. I thought this would be a really good idea for Pokemmo teams. Here's how it would work:
BASE BUILDING:
First off, in order to make a base you must have a team. Many teams have been made and many more will be made so that means many bases will be all over the place. To keep it so that not just anyone can make a team base right away there must be a certain status reached before you can obtain the right to make a base. For example, a team is created and has a scoreboard. For each consecutive win AS a team via rival team tournament, you get a point which is kept in your team scoreboard. Now, in order to make a base lets say for example, the number of consecutive wins you need is 50 points. This way teams won't take up every single available spot on the map. Being able to build a team base is a privilege granted to only those teams who are higher in ranks over the teams that were just made yesterday. Team leaders (player who made the team) will be the only one who is able to create a single base. This way we don't have a bunch of team Dunsparce bases all over the map ;]. Other team members can help plan on where the location should be of course. There should be many places for players to build a base as well as being able to occupy that spot so that no one else can make a base in the same spot.
TEAM MEMBERS:
Only team members can enter the team base. This allows for Teams to have a location to hold meetings or to use as a meet up spot. Team members can help decorate the secret base, this way every team member can have a responsibility so that the team leader is not the only one having to set up everything. Plus this makes it so that members can be able to participate and this way money is split to help fund for buying all the decorations (each member can go out and buy the secret base merchandise if someone else on their team can't afford to buy it).
MERCHANDISE:
As for buying decorative items there are of course the items that you can use to decorate your room (plush dolls, cushions) as was in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Team members should be able to choose to add their plush dolls or cushions to the team base computer if they have not been added by another team member yet. As with any other item you plan to buy, it should be that if a member already added the item to the base computer it shows up at the pokemart saying that " This item is already in the base computer. [would you like to add another?]".
BASE LOCATIONS:
When the administrators and people who update the pokemmo game and design it decide to finally add new regions for all players to travel to such as the Johto and Hoenn regions (maybe even other regions farther down the line), Team leaders should be able to set up a single base in any of those regions including the sevii islands as well.
TEAM BASE OPERATIONS:
If a team base has been created, for example in a wall outside the Seafoam Island cave (or even on the inside of the cave) the entrance ( a hole in the wall ) should appear for everyone passing by to notice it. Although any player walking by can see the entrance to a team base, they will not be able to enter. Maybe, if they try to enter a Team Base that is not their own a message or notice will pop up mentioning the Team: " Team Dunsparce " or as an option the team name can be unmentioned so that it remains a secret as to who's base it is. A secret password to enter the base was also an idea that was thrown around.
TEAM RANKS:
A team like Team Rocket, Team Aqua and Team Magma all have something in common; ranks.
Grunt, Admin, Leader
The leader of each team should be able to rank their members as Admin or Grunt. Usually you would see, for example in Team Rocket, their leader, a few Admin and a whole bunch of Grunts working under them. This would be a cool add to the teams considering if a team leader is playing with people they personally know and people they don't that would like to join the team. Admins being a leaders' personal friends and grunts being everyone else who joins. Keep in mind: just because you are a grunt doesn't mean you need to carry around weak sauce pokemon like Zubat and Rattata. ;D The more strong pokemon you carry, the more of a force to be reckoned with you are.
BASE RAIDING:
Base raiding is a cool concept for rival teams who want to add more menace to their gameplay. Here are some ideas:
- Base raiding can only be performed by a team. (anyone who is not apart of a team cannot enter any secret bases or be offered the opportunity)
- Base raiding can only be performed if and when the team leader agrees to carry out the order. Team leaders need to give a "mission is go" so that no single team member goes out and raids a base on their own thus giving their team name a bad rep.
- Base raiding can only be performed on a base when the leader of that base is present in the base. This way you don't have people intruding your base while you are out looking for pokemon or doing missions and such. Since a base can be raided only when the leader is there that gives a chance for the leader to call for back up to come along with them to the base before they enter, just in case any rivals do happen to show up and ambush you. If the team leader is there alone and is ambushed by 10 rival team members then that's a sad sad situation. ;(
- Team leaders must go along with their team to go raid and I will explain shortly.
- If a base is raided an alarm goes off and/or a notice pops up mentioning what team has infiltrated your base giving you a heads up.
- Shout out to Giygas here on Pokemmo forums for the idea that rival team members should not be able to pass through each other. I'd like to add to it saying they should only be able to pass through each other when outside each others base while not being able to pass through each other inside the base. This makes it so that no members can get past rivals and must battle if challenged by simply pressing the "A" button on them which automatically sets up a battle no matter what level either side has. Outside base raiding, any team member who passes by a rival can be able to request a battle as usual for every other player playing Pokemmo.
- Any team member who has been defeated is transported to the pokemon center and has to get back to their base however they must. This will give the rival who defeated them a chance to proceed through the base until or unless another rival member challenges them. Any member who is defeated cannot enter back into their own base until after all of their team members have been defeated as well or the opposing team is defeated or retreats.
- Leaders can only be challenged by leaders. If the team leader that intruded with their team is defeated by the rival leader then the opposing team is booted/retreats from the base.
- There should be a team emblem or flag that you can buy at a specific store which is the only item that is able to be taken away from your base. Kind of like capture the flag accept that you can't take your flag back from the rivals base, you have to go and buy another one to set up in your base. Your base cannot be raided until your team flag or emblem is set up in your base. Taking a rival base flag gives you points in your team scoreboard as in who's base and team you've triumphed over and how many times you've done so. Successfully defending your base can also give you a point in defense. This trophy system could make teams become notorious among all trainers as being the most powerful organization among the regions making all opposing teams think twice! Maybe even have the highest ranking teams on TV so that everyone sees them!
- Another idea I had is increasing base size and gaining more space after every 50 wins or something. Maybe even gaining a 2nd floor or a lower level after having 300 consecutive wins as a team. Having a bigger base could make even more people want to join your team. Also, having a bigger base can give you advantage: the bigger your base is the more team members a rival team must have in order to raid your base causing all other teams to either gain more members to try and take over a bigger base or to simply try to gain status by winning in team tournaments. Either way I think it would be cool to see a new team take over the map other than team Rocket whether they decide to just be a competitive team or a menacing, base raiding, no good flag/emblem stealing gang of thugs! :D

Ok, well now that you've read this, and I apologize for how long it is (just a lot of ideas I wanted to get out :D) I hope you like some of the ideas!
Thank you for your time!
