Hi everyone,

We're temporarily disabling sales of Temporary Incubators until next month.

For the few people who already bought some, they'll be refunded. For the very few people who already activated them, they will have their uses set to 1 and be automatically refunded.

In the meantime, permanent incubators are here to stay and we'll see how we can improve the system.

To the Devs,

I think as a greater player-base if there were ever any issue with keeping servers up or you all paid we would be willing to contribute to said goal financially. However, Temporary Incubators go against everything you have built on for 13 years, 13 years of developing a game to last that ensures its core community feels heard. This update undermines the relationship that has been built for those 13 years as for that period not once did you undermine the difficulty of shiny Pokemon or their importance to the help of the game. Please remove the Temporary Incubator, or let us know how many signatures a petition to remove them would need.

Thank you in advance

I'm way more disappointed in the reactions here than the proposed shiny wars changes and how it was handled.

The entitlement blows my mind.

You are 30 people who made serious real life adjustments based on a fan-made pokemon mmo game's forum post.. that had volunteer staff try to bring yet another fun event to the game for you.. that had no way of knowing what development might decide to add last minute, to benefit ALL players, unexpectedly.. let that sink in.

It's just an event.. on a game.. bunch of Karens.

You talk about disrespect.. poor communication.. owed apologies.......... look at yourselves.

I can only hope that these updates they tried to give us REALLY would have had a meaningful and positive impact on the shiny wars event, and now they won't come until it's over.

The order came from me because I look at an event like this, and I think to myself "Hm, we could make this a lot better if we had a bit of time to automate signups / make it all visible in-game / do leaderboards in-game while also not putting so much stress on the staff to keep track of crap manually". GMs don't really have the ability to order work like that, but to me, keeping it to the Forums is massively limiting the potential of a game mode like this.

It was a goal this year to do all of the above, and we did talk about it a few months ago, but we didn't make a proper commitment in time to do it during this summer. So, this was a last minute decision made by me, and it obviously backfired.

There's no guarantee a situation like this won't happen again. My role is always to figure out how to expand and maximize the potential we have within the game, and that means sometimes I make risky decisions which don't always work. This was one of them.

For certain high value events like shininess, ivs, egg randomness, mysterybox items we use a shared SecureRandom instance with no seeding. This means everyone shares the same high quality random source.

For low value events like battle events, we use ThreadLocal pseudorandom number generators. These are similar to the random number generator you'd expect in a single player game, but these are shared between many players. Due to the way networking and scheduling work, it's unpredictable which thread will process a request, and therefore which of these random instances will be used.

This ends up being a very simple API which we call whenever random numbers are needed. Something like Rng.get(0, 4) to get a random number between 0 and 4.

tl;dr, there's no user specific data involved in the pseudorandom number generators.

Hello everyone!
Since we, as staff, are also players with our own ideas for the future of the game, I'd like to share one of mine with you all and open it up for discussion and feedback. Let's get started.



Vanity Contest:
I’d love to see the introduction of a Vanity Contest held every six months. Here’s how it could work:

Structure:
A dedicated forum post will be created in the Official Events section, including:
Start & end times
Rules & clauses
Submission guidelines & resources

Submission:
Players will have six months to submit their vanity designs, including:
Images for each frame
Suggested name & item slot
All entries must be posted under the forum thread

Winner Selection:
Winners are not guaranteed. If no submissions meet the game’s quality standards, no prizes will be awarded, and rewards will roll over to the next contest.

Rewards:
1st Place Prize: A Shiny Pokémon + Reward Points (RP) Their vanity will include their username in the item description
2nd, 3rd, & 4th Place (Optional): Winners can choose to accept RP rewards, but if they do, they cannot resubmit the same vanity in future contests. If they decline the reward, they may improve and resubmit the vanity in the next event.

Hello everyone. Good morning, afternoon, or evening.
I've always been interested in collecting OTs of staff or famous players. I'm fully dedicated to this hobby.
whenever I try to search for a specific OT in GTL, I have trouble finding it, as there's no specific search for it. I wanted to suggest adding it (in the photo, I included an example of what it might look like).
this would greatly improve not only the collecting niche; I've seen that many people also want this.
I hope not to be ignored. thank you all.

Wanted to show off the new banner I made for my profile! The overhaul was extremely overdue. Featuring some of my favorite shinies I caught ^^

Why don’t put a special “Event Reward Particle” on these type of prizes
