  1. I just beat Red. There was nothing outside of the ordinary, aside from getting over 300k unboosted, and 25k BP.
  2. That was my understanding as well, but I think it runs a bit counter to the fact they've disallowed the use of VM's or emulators, so I just wanted to make sure! An answer on some of my questions from an active staff member would definitely be appreciated.
  3. Yeah. On your trainer card within the game, it should say "Issued xxxx-xx-xx" top right.
  4. Hi there, PokeMMO players and PokeMMO staff! I recently stumbled upon a video where a PokeMMO content creator was banned, with suspicions being directed towards the fact he'd been using a controller. From there, I found a forum post where Rache clarified "He wasn't banned for simply using a controller, nor was it an act of malice against him.", which still leaves me a bit curious. While I totally understand why you would want to keep the specifics to yourselves, as to not tip off potential cheaters, it still leaves a large portion of the player base nervous to what you're allowed to do and what you're not. In that same vain, I have a few clarifying questions that I'd like to know if they're allowed or not. Bear in mind that none of these questions, to my knowledge, are answered in the terms of service for the game. 1. Every controller I've used have given me the advantage of 'rapid firing input' in a way that keyboards cannot. For example, using a normal Xbox controller, you're able to hold the A button down during combat to rapidly input that same button, while you have to repeatedly press the SPACE bar in order to achieve the same results on a keyboard. This is standard functionality for any controller I've tested, and of course out of the box without any separate software needed. Is this allowed? 2. While a variety of software that enables you to play on multiple accounts on the same device has been forbidden (namely VM's and emulators), I've yet to stumble upon a statement that simply playing on multiple accounts on the same device is. This seems a bit weird to me, because while some methods for playing on multiple accounts on the same device is clearly not allowed, the practice itself seems to be in a sort of grayzone, where you don't encourage it but don't disallow it either. Some clarity here would be appreciated. 3. On that same note, there are still some nuance to be had. The latest Samsung Android phones come with the functionality for 'Phone Link', which mirrors your phone screen to your PC. In this instance, the entire processing for the actual game is being conducted on the phone, with the app window on the desktop screen showing what would have been shown on the phone. Essentially, two different devices are being used to play the game, but it takes place on the same device. Is this allowed? 4. What counts as third party software? While macros, scripts and other unfair practices are understandably not allowed, are you allowed to use third party software, while using a controller, to bind a single controller input to a single keyboard output? For example, I bind the A button on my controller, using third party software, to output the letter 'K' from my keyboard. Of course, multiple outputs for a single input would be against the rules, but what about one input - one output? Is this allowed? As a side note to that same question: Would merely having that software present on your PC be able to cause enough suspicions to warrant a permanent ban, regardless if the practice of one input - one output is allowed or not? I'm looking forward to any clarity about the rules, because I, together with a large portion of the player base, are looking to play the game in good faith without the risk for 'accidentally' breaking any rules that are not clearly stated on the website. Cheers, everyone!
