There has probably been a billion posts on this by now, but hear me out
There are 2 major issues with PokeMMO:
A) They assume most players are competitive, when 95% are casual
B) They make dumb decisions
The breeding system is the best example of this.
Breeding was one of the most fun activities in the original games. In PokeMMO, they changed it. Now, if you want an egg, you have to murder (or 'trade') the two parents to get the egg. Permanently
Their logic is that two good iv Pokemon will create more good iv Pokemon, causing inflation in the market.
The reason why this is terrible logic is because there are simple ways to fix this
A) Make the eggs random. Equivalent to when you find Pokemon in the wild. This way there are no advantages
B) Make certain eggs unable to be traded, or sold
C) There's a lot more that I'm too tired to type
Anyways, I understand why they wanted to do this. But again, their solution was terrible, and they also hurt casual players who make up most of the fanbase
