hey xatu. be patient. you've been around long enough to know this is just wasting everyone's time. you know better man come on.
how does it waste someone time to type 1 string of text? Before some random guy asks in a thread and its fine but as soon as its me asking its a big deal lmao.

I like it how you actually thought it'd be in 2 weeks exactly.
Stop uguuing, if you can wait a year for an update, you can wait a week more.
No i never thought itd be 2 weeks exactly i just figured if its gonna be over the projected date then they should just give us another update right around now haha.
-
The last dev response stated release was in about 2 weeks, 15 days now i think. Not asking to rush just wondering current projected release.

It's possible, but it is adding more slots is not really something we want to do.
Perhaps the extra data could lag the server more when many players gather for events etc?

It would have to have its own Vanity slot. Idk if @Darkshade could add a new slot without redoing the Char. Customization 2.0.

They said there will be gernerational TMs. As to not screw up the current gen 3 TMs. So perhaps when we get sinnoh we will get its TMs set too.

Clearly that's all you looked at if you consider Cloyster a wall. You also said skarm is "eww" when it remains one of the best physical walls, gets access to roost, stealth rock and spikes.
Yeah compared to ferro it sux

LMAO did you forget about switching???? Also the fighting types you speak of are slow as all hell

Special walls: (lists like 5 options) cmon guys we have literally 0 options here. Do you even read back what you type after you type it? Plus, I KNOW from your incessent whining about gen 5 in the first place that you have literally 0 experience with the tier, so how the fuck would you know which special walls will be viable? Chief example: your statement that Jellicent sucks lol.
I literally went through the list and analyzed all the mons with high enough stats to be classified as a wall.
". Do you even read back what you type after you type it?" - Inflammatory remark made purposefully to try to belittle me or make me feel bad. Please refrain from using inflammatory language
"Plus, I KNOW from your incessent whining about gen 5 in the first place that you have literally 0 experience with the tier" - Another inflammatory response while you literally assume something and
"Chief example: your statement that Jellicent sucks lol." - Yes in a meta without gen 4 mons and its typing is awful. Ghost, Grass and electric are all commonly ran special moves.
4 hours ago, Gunthug said:I also love that you say blissey is the only viable special wall, when it's pretty outclassed by chansey w/eviolite. "Blissey will literally be on every single team." Man, you love pulling terrible assumptions out of your ass, don't you?
Another inflammatory statement for no reason. In case you didnt read my thread i was basically calssing bliss/chance as the same thing. Bliss IS technically better tho because chansey is easily nurfed with knockoff.
4 hours ago, Gunthug said:Why does something need to trap blissey in order to deal with it?
I was looping the chansey and dugtrio thing together. If you have an option to trap something and kill it when;
1. its a spec wall
2. You have a phys attacking mon that TRAPS
Notice how i followed it the statement Players will be forced to run Dugtrio because its fucking OP. Thats it dude, its OP. People will run it en MASSE because its OP as hell.
4 hours ago, Gunthug said:You heard it here from the comp expert, folks. Either use Blissey + Dugtrio on every team or you will only suffer
Yup and the ways the tiers used to be is a perfect example of how toxic it is. 60% chansey rate.... That was YOUR doing bro and you seemed to be ok with it lmao.
4 hours ago, Gunthug said:Yeah, let me know how that Blissey/Ferrothorn core works out for you lol. Can't see any weakness overlap there, whatosever
I said later the weaknesses could be covered with other mons. And you dont have to use forre, use cloyster or w/e lmao, forre is just better minus fire weakness which is negligible.
4 hours ago, Gunthug said:So at no point do you mention how or why this new attempt to solve problems with balance before they present themselves is harmful to the tier.
I mentioned it pretty clearly in all the mons i brought up. You are building a recipe for really centralized gameplay permanently by eliminating the uber tier. All of my statements are made with the assumption that the current agenda is to never bring back the tier.
4 hours ago, Gunthug said:Nor do you provide any solution whatsoever
The solution is very implied.... I posted in this thread, The solution is the uber tier one day.
4 hours ago, Gunthug said:, you just end with a lame joke about TM06 which I'm genuinely surprised you knew was toxic. I'm happy to take you seriously once you produce even an ounce of credibility with your arguments, but in 2 long years of you pestering us I've yet to see it
Another inflammatory comment for no reason

The point of tiering is to ensure a tier with much variation in build style. Remember when chansey was the best avilable spec wall? Then usage r8 rose to like 60%. That is certainly not healthy. The meta is going to become very stale very quickly with this "were too scared to ban" type of mentality. People will just use whats "best". Lets take a look at the mons that are even in "OU". Lets start with walls since every team needs them. Spec walls: Chansey/Blissey, Jellicent? Tyran. + Sand???, Wobbu??????. Cmon guys we have literally 0 options here. Wobbu is a joke and un competitive, if people start using it ppl will simply quit en masse. Tyranitar is laughable to use as a dedicated spec wall because of typing and if they change the whether or it ends its over. Jellicent sucks and is weak to 4 really common types... You know what this means right? Players will be pushed into a position where Blissey is the only viable Special Wall. This is absolutely awful. We all thought chansey meta was bad, this will be much much worse. Blissey will literally be on every single team. No Bliss/chance? Well prepare to have your team rekd by literally any sp atkr.
So how are we gonna deal with Bliss then...? Hmm if only there was a physically attacking pokemon that could also trap Blissey.... Hmmmm
Players will be forced to run Dugtrio because its fucking OP.
Awesome so how it is now 33% percent of your team is basically forced to be the same as everyone else. And if you dont use these mons you will only suffer.
And we havent even gotten to both physical walls or any attackers you actually wanted to run.
For Phys walls the list is longer, steel types have high base Def, many resistances, etc. Thing is ppl arent gonna run whacky wall Exca, Metagross, Magnezone.
List of Viable phyts walls: Cloyster (outclassed), Ferrothorn (literally the best), Forretres, (outclassed), Skarm (eww)
Uh oh guys were facing a similar issue as to before: Players are being pushed into a position where Ferrothorn is the best possible choice for them.
Ok so now 50% of your team is pretty much set in stone... I mean, everyone else is using whats best, and not using whats best will cause you to lose.... sooo. You are practically forced to use these mons.
I would go on about the physical atkrs and spec atkrs etc but that can be easily understood and actually is much more open up to variation. (Sort of) You can see my basic tiering of the tier below. Pretty much, pick from the S/A tier pool and choose synchronistic typings for the rest (1 mon kek).
Blissey -S
Breloom -B
Chandelure -B
Chansey -A
Cloyster -B
Conkeldurr -A
Dragonite -A
Dugtrio -S
Excadrill -A
Ferrothorn -S
Forretress -A
Gengar -B
Gyarados -B
Haxorus -A
Hydreigon -A
Jellicent -B
Kabutops -B
Kingdra -A
Lucario -S
Magnezone -A
Mamoswine -B
Metagross -A
Pelipper -B
Reuniclus -B
Salamence -S
Scizor -A
Skarmory -B

Tyranitar -S

Not having an Ubers tier is TM 06-TOXIC

This is why a duplicate suggestion rule should exist
No because the suggestion might not always be 100% the same thing. Being a vampire about "hurr durr suggested b4" no shit. Theres 7 billion people in the world, theres no such thing as original thought. If we enforce strict lame ass rules it will only strangle players creativity from wanting to post a suggestion int he first place... Of course you would say something like this though, you rarely ever post suggestions and you are always very quick to talk shit.

Heya new user. Welcome to the game ^.^
You will find that there is no setting anywhere to zoom in the text... Fret not! I have found a workaround that works amazingly :)
Heres a guide for windows (can also be done on mac/linux):Step 1: Put Pokemmo into the Smallest size window available in the settings (something like 800/700 pixls)
Step 2: Drag the window the the bottom left corner lining up the the edge of the screen.
Step 3: Press ""Windows Button and the + sign" at the same time. (this will bring up macrosoft built in magnifier... you may have to mess with settings)
Step 4: Set the magniefier to 125%- 150% for the best effect, the game and text will now be much bigger..
Have fun ! :)

Also a terrible idea. They're obtainable in game currently at a pretty much negligible rate. Adding old "limited" items back to the gift shop would make a big hit on all limited vanities that come in the future. No one would be able to trust the value of future limited vanities, ruining their value, which in turn will ruin sales from the gift shop.
Both the items i listed arent even limited bro! A rate is a rate, its obtainable ingame so its not fucking limited. It would retain its fucking value too wanna know why? BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY REAL WORLD CASH ON IT.

"In the long run" isn't the point. I think it's safe to assume that times like the Halloween event are when they make a shitload of their money. It's when the highest number of players are online, that's the time you want people buying RP, not the time that you give out the items for free.
Well if we have 3x players online because of halloween event then more people will be online to buy RP!! If they want to pull in more donations they can add Kyu hat to the shop then or something like that, desus lab coat. Since both these items can be spawned in the game anyway....

Also in response to the initial suggestion, giving away gift shop items like that in large amounts would do the same to RP that it would do to goodie bags. Giving away reasons to buy rp, means less reason to buy rp. imagine if donator status just got handed out as often as a scythe last year. No one would need to pay real money for one for a pretty good amount of time, meaning less profit for devs. Do you really think they'd ever consider that a good idea?
lmao bro consumable items are consumable, and a 1/1000 chance wouldn't affect thingsfor very long, maybe like a month at most. I know you didnt rad the whole thread but i already touched on this. Just cause ppl get stuff for free one in a year doesnt mean they wont buy it kek. If anything it puts a good taste in their mouths about RP items and the effects (ie more boxes, higher shiny rate etc). This will show them how cool these items are, and then they may buy a couple more boxes.
Srsly tho a 3 day event with heavily consumable RP items wouldn't do shit in the long run.

i tried whispering you and you aint even online lmao

Well your idea isn't exactly the most balanced either, see:
LMAO well maybe if you or someone actually provided ANY sort of constructive criticism we could all come to some agreements. You really think my suggestion is going to be fucking perfect from the get go??
As for the super rare... wtfs wrong? they all cost real money and are extremely consumable. If you care so much about values then dont include any vanities and only include donators passes and stuff. The argument that this would hurt ppl from donating is laughable too, since the itmes are all consumable the effect will only be temporary until theyve all been used up. Were also talking about a 1/1000 drop or w/e.
Same for semi are still consumable as fuck, and you know, useful.
Common all consumable or existed in previous halloween events.
7 minutes ago, Staggiie said:I'm pretty ignorant about technical stuff but this part of Kyu's post in the PTS Hype thread gave me the vibe that what you're suggesting isn't do-able I guess. Or they are unwilling to do it.
"Duplicated, or nothing."
So I suppose that's why those are the options being talked about. My bad if I'm misunderstanding.I guess i really just need to address Kyu statement directly then, because so far nobody has explored new options.
At this point, we're not willing to do a live server update purely for a Halloween event (the data structure for many things which would be required, such as the character addons, have diverged so significantly in the past year that I'm not even sure we have the tools to backport things to live's branch), so you'd either have literally the same event as last year with all of its cosmetics duplicated, or nothing.
@Kyu Ok: You are unsure that you can even backport the event.... Why dont you try ?? So Kyu lets assume that it truly is impossible. Workarounds are a thing. You basically have just enough time to code a whole new halloween event, but cut down. Here's a really simplified version that really shouldnt take long to make:
Add back the 3 NPC's (if you cant port the part that makes them roaming then just making them static in verm/lavender or something). Have them award 1 candy ea.
Add back a NPC that takes candies as currency for bags of some sort. (make a new mystery box type item for this or simply use the PvP mysery box as a reward) [second option: actual shop for the candies ex: 1 candy = 3 vitamins 2 candy = rare candy etc]
Annnd youre done. You just saved Halloween!
So all in all you could get away with only adding 4 new npcs, potentially have to make a new mystery box type item, but other options are available. Pumpking can be left out entirely because it would take too much time to recreate.

Because this is the only thread relevant to halloween
The game devs clearly stated it's not healthy... THERE YOU GO discussion over.
Why don't we focus our efforts in planning a balanced alternative. Instead of literally looping over and over on the same subject with no new points or efforts to think of a solution.
-
Why is everyone simply debating the fact that bringing back vanities is healthy or not.
My suggestion clearly suggests to use pc expansion, donators tickets, and other vanities already in shop as placeholders.
Seriously the argument that the devs don't have time to do this is rediculous.
It can't take more than 5 minutes to edit an item to say 2017 at the end and edit contents with items that already exist in the game.
You guys are about to update the game drastically right? Well guess what barely any of the player base is even aware of this. Server usage actually goess back to high during Halloween. Maybe 3x more players.... What an amazing time to have a grassroots effort by all s GM's etc to inform players in the chat while the event is going on.
You guys do realize that between the number of ppl that can't run the update, ppl that hate gen 5, ppl too lazy to dl a a new rom....
The update has a chance of killing the game.
Pissing off players, not even attempting to inform ppl en masse they are being force-fed and entirely different game essentially, these are all things that will end up contributing to player loss.
