I say we should add Ubers and AG to the tournament formats. That way we could see a little more diversity in the teams since we could have access to EVERY Pokemon available, and thus would make battles significantly more interesting.
And yes, I know this could mean 6 Legendary Teams, but it also would mean unique counters to these teams. And there's nothing more interesting then seeing some noob with a team of 6 Uber legends get his @$$ handed to him by some guy with a team of lvl 1 Rattatas, or something else creative.
If you wish to play Anything-Goes or Ubers may I recommend Showdown , PokeMMO does not permit sub-level 50 pokemon in Tournament Mode PvP because gimmicks like Level 1 Rattatas are considered non-competitive.
I strongly disagree that a 6 Legendary Team would result in unique counters to these teams, they would be immensely centralising depending on what is available at the time and lead to what basically equates to mirror matches. When you offer things that are this large of a power spike and then place them beside alternatives in team building, you aren't given a real choice- It's the illusion of choice, few pokemon can validate their place on a team next to Uber Pokemon.3 hours ago, BoltBlades12 said:I mean it's kinda hypocritical saying that we can't have Uber format since there's no Ubers, while at the same time preventing us from having Ubers.
I don't understand what is hypocritical about what you mentioned, Uber Pokemon not being available (and as a result an Uber tier not existing) are not hypocrisy, it's pretty close to the opposite of hypocrisy.
3 hours ago, BoltBlades12 said:Besides, current PvP is pretty stale and predictable as it is. Again, would make comp a lot more interesting.
Sinnoh is on the horizon and will actively change every metagame in a significant way, and on top of that not all change is good change.
When a tier becomes stale potential bans to break the rut it is stuck in are carefully considered, introducing things haphazardly does not create an interesting metagame it just makes chaos. Additionally your suggestion is entirely irrelevant to current PvP tiers as Uber Pokemon by their very nature would not be available in any current PvP tier, which means they wouldn't change the OU / UU / NU / LC metagames whatsoever.
BoltBlades12 I understand you want Uber pokemon in the game, you have made it very obvious and there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but in future please edit your pre-existing threads which are requesting ubers be added to the game to include new points (such as what have been brought up in this thread).
This thread does not contain enough substance to merit existing separately from your other thread(s) requesting Ubers be added to the game, if Ubers were made available to players then they would indeed go in the Uber's Tier by default as it already exists (despite nothing available being placed into it) and thus this suggestion is sort of already in the game (It's just irrelevant).
In light of the above points I will be locking this thread, if you have reasons why you believe these points necessitate a separate thread from your previous ones which have requested Ubers be made available feel free to message me about it over the forums. -

Economy stuff belongs in the trade corner, I will be locking this thread.
I doubt there will be much long-term impact from this personally (and also suspect it'll go back to normal very shortly). -

It also wouldn’t affect the economy in any negative way if Ray and Mew2 were removed from the King-of-the-Hill system and had it so you could use in-game currency to get their completed dex entries.
And again, since you can’t perma-keep them, it makes their purpose only for dex entries. So it should be handled as such. Having a pass that gives you their completed entries and having them removed from the game wouldn’t have any negative consequences.
And again, I’m sure nobody would have any issue with this, considering a majority of people are farming or doing PvP anyways, and not doing these KotH things.
Just go play the king-of-the-hill minigame for the dex entries.
Invalidating things which are in the game is effectively wasted time in retrospect from a development point of view.
There is no purpose or necessity, or even quality of life improvement from this suggestion. it is literally paying yen so you don't have to play the game.
Do not assert that no one would have any issues with a suggestion as some sort of defence for it, there will always be people who are against even the most seemingly 100% upside suggestions. Outside of *those* people I would say anyone who spent time playing the king-of-the-hill minigame to EARN those dex entries would feel kinda scammed if next patch you could just pay like 20k.- hannahtaylor and Darkshade

Some pokemon's sprites are at half size due to them being excessively large, I believe the thought process was that they did not want people to use Steelix / Wailord etc to clutter people's screens in the same way some people in other MMOs use oversized mounts to obscure NPC's etc.
This isn't a bug but an intentional change as far as I am aware. -
You currently cannot change which Pokeball you have placed your newly hatched pokemon into, they will have that pokeball forever (or until you re-breed them and select a different one).

Gengar with dark pulse is meant to counter psychic and ghost types, since I don't have much coverage against them. Although I might replace destiny bond. I'm not getting any value out of that.
But you have shadow ball?

Thank you for your report.

I would personally replace Bounce on your Gyarados with Taunt, Haze is very common on bulky water types as is Roar / Whirlwind currently which would hinder your chances to set up.
Taunt would shut these down and also allows you to prevent other pokemon from trying to boost up against you as well.
Gengar with Dark Pulse doesn't seem like it does much either, Sludge Wave seems better for having an extra STAB move with good base power.
(though take everything I say with heaps of salt, there are people who know the OU meta far better than I do). -
As other players have mentioned, I'm sorry but there is no way to revert evolution, and we cannot help players who have accidentally evolved their pokemon.
You can purchase an Ability Pill from the Daycare assistant for 35,000$ which will swap between a Pokemon's base abilities (if it has two, but it cannot cause Hidden Abilities).

@Matoka do we have to revive them in rustboro or anywhere?
You can revive them anywhere, but the Staff will be sitting around in the Rustboro building. as long as you submit a valid entry to staff on time it doesn't matter where it's restored. c:

Ok, so I'm an android player and I have my roms taking up quite a bit of space, so if I delete the roms will they still be playable in the Pokemmo Launcher?
PokeMMO requires a Black / White ROM in order to function, that is the only one which is required to play PokeMMO.
However the other ROMs give access to other regions (such as Kanto and Hoenn, as well as Sinnoh after it is released).
Deleting ROMs will cause you to lose access to that ROM's respective region.
If you have a Heart Gold / Soul Silver ROM it is the most optional ROM, it only allows for some follower sprites and is not needed for any actual gameplay (and take up more memory than Kanto / Hoenn's ROM) so it may be a good choice to delete if you are running out of memory. -
Hello, if you have wish to appeal your ban then please be patient and make a ban appeal here:

Please refrain from making additional posts about this in Non-Ban Appeal sections. -
Could you please clarify what you are referring to, are you asking if it is intended that Lucky Eggs are consumable? If so, yes it is intentional.
If you mean something else I'm sorry but I don't understand. -

Hi Everyone! Sorry I'm quite new to the game, I wanted to ask how do I join a public test server because it was posted in the announcement board and I got curious and wanted to join, another thing that I wanted to ask, is there already a tentative date for the Platinum update? Quite excited with it, thank in advance to anyone who would reply or answer, and for what it's worth, good job for the developers, ^.^
Have a Pokemon Platinum ROM ready as it will be required to access Sinnoh.
Other than that, as SmolSpartan said pay attention for announcements on the forums and the PTS will be made accessible sometime tomorrow. -

On a serious note, is there any reason as to why you guys can't provide us any info?
I would say it would be fair to give more hints if no one was capable of finding it after about a week, but people have evidently already found what holds it.
There is no reason for staff to step in and reveal or give further hints if this is the case. -
Just now, DarylDixon said:
yea yea sure staff didnt hint chinas lel.
If you wish to insinuate that some staff are giving unfair advantages to certain players, please feel free to take up your suspicions to SGMs who can investigate if this is the case.

Just now, DarylDixon said:
@Matoka before ima do more posts of asking what pokes hold it pls can a staff tell us whut poke hold that item instad to tell only to chinas thx
No staff have provided anyone with hints other than confirming it is in the game, it is not my place to reveal what pokemon holds it.
As it has been discovered by players it will slowly be found by more players and someone will eventually spill the beans. -
Please do not create a second thread for the same reason as an active thread currently on the front page.

I will be locking this thread as a result.
an idea from other MMOs

It's worth noting that everyone finds free things appealing, but most games that offer daily log-in rewards often tend to offer things in a way that incentivises / requires you to log-in daily to progress, which is a skinner-box design. these games also tend to be balanced around the assumption that you will have those items, meaning you typically aren't getting an advantaged from those items but they're rather just giving you the baseline resources needed to progress in the game.
Daily log-in items for PokeMMO would be a complicated feature to do right as we do not have many items that would be appropriate at base.
B) we have to make the game harder to balance out the bonuses, but then it feels like you need to log in every day to get those bonuses or you're just behind and thus we've become a skinnerbox MMO.
For the reasons above I am unsure if PokeMMO is a good candidate for such features, even though I agree at first glance the concept of free things is indeed appealing.
