Giant walls of text scare me. Also, this should be in suggestions, that is where threads like these belong.

I had fun once, and it was awful.

You forgot to add in Rattata only

That's exactly what I said, except what I meant by the instance is that you can fight the pokemon on your own for pokedex data, but you cant catch it. I completely agree that legendary pokemon should either be unobtainable or much harder to get than they are in the actual games.

Things like this have already been talked about. Legendary pokemon will not be catchable, and to get the pokedex entry there will be a instance with a long endurance challenge and will allow you to fight the legendary pokemon. At least that's what has been talked about so far. I don't know how I feel about large raid groups in pokemon, remember this is a turn based game. It would be pretty chaotic and would create some major balancing issues to make it work correctly, like for example what if one person in your raid uses earthquake, will everyone be fucked over? Things like that. Don't get me wrong I am not against the idea, it just does not seem practical in a turn based game like this, unless you restructure how the entire game works when it comes to moves and such.

Sandshrew is my bro.

Yes. Yeah alright. I do agree to this.

not as helpful as hats that's for sure

this is something that's in all pokemon games, while i never use it myself, would be a cool feature to have.

RUN THERE IS STILL TIME SAVE YOURSELF

That would be smart, it is what most other MMOs do. Also if this happen, would you be adding special night spawns like Hoothoot, Spinarak, etc? We do not have access to any dark type pokemon either being in Kanto and all, so maybe even have points of the day/night cycle where pokemon like Poochyena and Houndour start to spawn. Would help to balance the incredibly over powered psychic types gen 1 has, and the few available counters to it (Bite is a weak ass attack to have end game and Gengar/Haunter/Ghastly are weak to psychic themselves due to part poison)

as spectre said, game was not open, not like i had much of a choice.

With the vs seeker coming soon™ players might have more money then they can handle! Which is why i suggest some PVP staking! It could work in a number of ways, with optional rules to change how the battle flows, rules like: 1. No status moves 2. No switching pokemon 3. No items 4. Moves do double damage 5. No stage modifiers (hail, rain dance, sunny day, sandstorm) 6. Level limitations use your imagination Stakes could also include other things besides money, things like items, and pokemon. But with high stakes gambling there should be some rules and requirements to keep balance so new players don't lose everything. 1. Players with less than 2 badges should not be able to stake. 2. Players should be warned to the opponents high level pokemon (this already exists in regular battles). 3. Players should only be able to stake with a player that has an equivalent number of badges, this should also keep balance between players with 2 badges fighting a player with 8. 4. Players should not be able to stake all of their money and pokemon, it should stop at a reasonable number (for example you cannot stake money if you have less than 5k, and if you have 20k, you can only stake 15 of it)

Or, it could work how it does in the regular games, and its in the pokemon summary under moves.

you mean 40 year old men ;)

This being an MMO and all it should have some cool multiplayer features, which is why I suggest the Pokemon League Doubles competition, it could be like the regular story driven pokemon league except 2 on 2 battles. 2 players vs 2 AI - all level 100 pokemon The teams I was thinking of are: Battle 1: Misty and Lorelei Starmie (Misty) Golduck (Misty) Kingdra (Misty) Dewgong (Lorelei) Jynx (Lorelei) Lapras (Lorelei) Battle 2: Brock and Bruno Golem (Brock) Onix (Brock) Crobat (Brock) Steelix (Bruno) Hitmonlee (Bruno) Machamp (Bruno) Battle 3: Sabrina and Agatha Hypno (Sabrina) Venomoth (Sabrina) Alakazam (Sabrina) Dusclops (Agatha) Arbok (Agatha) Gengar (Agatha) Battle 4: Giovanni and Lance Dugtrio (Giovanni) Nidoking (Giovanni) Rhydon (Giovanni) Gyarados (Lance) Aerodactyl (Lance) Dragonite (Lance) Battle 5 and Doubles Championship: Blue (Rival) and Red (Male MC) Pidgeot (Blue) Exeggcutor (Blue) Charizard/Blastoise/Venusaur (Blue) (player 1 determined) Pikachu (Red) Lapras (Red) Charizard/Blastoise/Venusaur (Red) (player 2 determined) Now I know it is a long ways away until the pokemon league is complete and reachable, but in the future I think this could be a really cool addition to the game, tell me what you think.
