1) VGC ladder 2) Mulitbattle ladder 3) co-op pve content

We still need fairy type before any of those i guess, but for me personally id say just add megas with the potential of some dynamax forms joining in as megas too. But i doubt it will happen since i think the devs dont want to modify the core of the game too much.

a general hub would be cool yeah!

I wish, set ting one up isnt that hard since its open source i guess. but i guess configuring it with all the data from pokemmo would be the most difficult. I got no experience running a pokemon showdown server though

Heya, im trying to plan out a doubles team for a bit while completing the story and was wondering if the game has dynamic speed! cheers

If thats true that is pretty sad. Just got into the game and was excited to join the ranked ladder once I finish the story. But if people are just free to exploit the system like that thats quite the motivation killer

Hello, today I've come as a new player that is very interested in competitive pokemon with a proposal! Replacing the Doubles format as it is now with VGC! But why you might ask? Well let me tell you No need for tiers! As you all know, smogon formats heavily rely on tiers to keep balance. Since PokeMMO only knows 1 doubles format we cannot keep the balance in the same way. VGC on the other hands, knows no official tiers, everything is allowed basically. It would free up some of the work needed to keep the pvp scene going, since there would be no need for anymore bans or things like that. More creativity! One of the differences between VGC and smogon doubles is that vgc has a bring 4 out of 6 rule while doubles is a bring all 6 game. The result of the bring all 6 game is that it invalidates some of the fun strategies players can come up with for a doubles format. Perish trap for example becomes unviable because it takes way too much effort just to ko 2 of your opponents pokemon. Its a very advanced strategy in VGC that requires quite some skill to pull off but is basically invalidated in smogon doubles. The games also take longer, making it harder for a lot of fun strategies to show off their full potential No bans Since there is no bans on strategies. It will allow people to make full use of their pokemons movesets and abilities. Now there is no place for players to do this and a VGC ladder would give the players that desire this that spot. Whether they wanna spam double team or try put the entire enemy team to sleep (and probably lose trying), they can finally do so :) Now of course the removal of the existing doubles ladder is not actually necessary. But since it is a smogon game mode, running it without the proper tiering, seems to me like not really doing it fully justice. Thank you for reading my post and I hope the devs will consider adding VGC into the game. I've already seen posts about VGC tours in the unofficial events threads so I know there is a part of the community that would definitely enjoy having it in the game.

Is there a reason why the main doubles format picked was smogon doubles over VGC in the first place? Sleep seems to be fine there. Bring 4 of 6 allows some more strats to open up too. Meta's there constantly evolve organically without TPC interfering with tiers and clauses in the middle of it. Smogon does a great job trying to balance the game around singles but for doubles vgc seems to be just fine and less work in general.

There are literally multiple of almost all legendaries even in lore, what are you on about lol. Legendary just means that it is considered like a unicorn or something, not that its the last or only one of its species

I actually don't understand whyd they would add smogon doubles over vgc. I hope they add vgc to the ranked ladder soon, it allows for more fun strats than smogon doubles imo

Hello! Im a new player and was wondering if there is a place where I can see all the changes to the pokemon in the game? I already noticed my starter getting moves it doesnt get in the regular games, so I was wondering if there was an all out list.
