Topic content matching its name. Extraordinary

No countdown, no relevance

Legendary Dungeons? not yet released. And for sure not before Unova and some patches coming shortly after its launch. So who knows when

I like the preparations for future dungeons. Weird no one before wrote about it nvm, it's already on live server xd

Can't wait for coming back home D:

Hype is caused by near update. PTS is only a herald of it. If you dont want to test few things and report what does not work you can always grease yourself with new content for fun and lulz.

We should stop every update then, Unova will hit older players wallet because their comps will be worthless. I don't see "some vanities will drop in a value" as an argument. No one said they will never return, ppl took gamble with hoarding them(reasonable because vanities from 2015 were not repeated) and I don't see why we should protect them at all cost. PokeMMO didn't receive any update for ~year. Ppl are indeed bored and not everyone is interested in PTS(I do). We are not in some dire situation in which we need event asap but I fail to see why we should deny it because some ppl predicted vanities are exclusive to that one year and they want to make cash out of it. Those are cosmetics so why we treat it only as a goods to make profit from. I feel the purpose of these items is flipped right now. Halloween event is not that important but I don't see any arguments why they shouldn't repeat it for the sake of entertainment. If it won't happen, tough luck, I'm happy with Unova behind the corner anyway.

I will probably test new hipster abilities and moves to see if they work or how they work(some moves change through generations)

I was wondering about reactions of ppl from the past if i were a time traveler, arrive exactly 1year ago, and told them that in one year we will have entire new region and generation 5 but ppl still preffer to be butthurt over lack of halloween/reused vanities xd

My personal list of coolness: 1.Halloween 2016 2.Halloween 2016 with mixed rewards from 2015 and 2016 3.Halloween 2016 without tradeable vanities(only mask, consumables and some items to fill the gap of vanities (We have no update in a year so what's the difference in skill if you beat boss then or now?)) 4.no event at all. Even if the last option is the one we get I would still be OK with that. Oh and to not offtop.. HYYYPEEE, can't wait for update hitting live

@DrButler Dude are you new on forum or something? One suggestion per topic!

Taking in account how many companies produce phones with Android OS and how they always have price advantage over Apple counterparts i wouldn't be so quick to say devices with iOS are more popular. In my opinion is quiet opposite. App needs to get throught requirements to be put to AppStore in the first place.

No. Mobile client with proper interface. The only re-creating thing would be performance issues. But dont take my word on it. I probably designes as many mobile games as you Why do you even would want to release it on Google Play Store/App Store. I dont see PokeMMO on steam or similar platform. Whenever someone decide to play Pokemon Fire Red they dont install emulator on PC, they do it legit way on gameboy or download emulator and rom for their smartphone. That's (probably)why it's easier to convince someone to play, it's more fitting way to play pokemon. As i said before even if i were a specialist in this field(which im not) I couldn't tell if this is worth or not because i can't see "engine"(devs and their work) of PokeMMO. I would be missing one vital piece of information. You can't tell if it's worth to put extra cargo on your ship without knowing how expensive is fuel and how much you will be wasting with that extra cargo. You simply dont know what subtract from that cargo value. Im not encouraging to put it in the shops, quiet opposite of that. It will be probably advertising same way as they advertise the PC version right now. As for reasons I will go with what i already said 1) ppl are more attracted to the mobile version (if they want to relive Fire Red, they will install emulator on phone, not PC) 2) Well standing to fight with competition for those players who want to play multiplayer pokemon game on their phones. No matter how good PokeMMO is, it will lose if someone looks for game on their phone (which hooks to 1st reason)

I dont care how old are users and supporters of this game. For me and you it might be better quality of life, for devs it might be quiet big profit. Thought we argue over posible future of PokeMMO on mobile/not on mobile. No one was saying anything about right here and now. I think here we have source of our lack of understanding. Im not arguing over deleting PC version, deleting all accounts and throwing new mobile version focused on mobile audience to the shop to see how it floats with apps available there and brand new "casual" audience. Im arguing over apk version of PokeMMO. Not PokeMMO converted into typical free app from Google Play Store. Just PokeMMO but with option to play on other platform(mobile). Pokemon Showdown is not in stores, they dont compete with other titles of mobile games. They just have option to play it mobile which i really enjoy on WC, sometimes on breaks or while traveling. Are there "casual" showdown users? yeah, are there showdown users who take it seriously? also yeah

Well I can't argue with preferences and personal taste. I for example dont think this is somekind of perfect UI design that enhances experience. UI is UI and I never saw UI that does what you claim PokeMMO's do. UI needs to be easy to navigate even for someone new. Is our current UI this way? maybe, the way it currently is, is alright. I bet we could do worse or better. And i don't blame you for that. Always bigger and more stationary platforms are more comfortable than smaller and more mobile. Closest example is: I didn't write this reply on my telephone because writing it on keyboard is much more comfortable and faster. But that doesn't mean writing on PC is always better from writing on phone. You can't take your PC on the bus, train, walk, to doctor waiting room etc ^All of those arguments are basically reasons why ppl play on mobile platforms and why some of you have more expensive version of PC called laptop. I dont think we should support arguments with our prejudices torward one platform or another. No matter how high you uplift yourself because you play on the "greater" platform, it wont change the truth. The truth is ppl are playing on mobile devices. Every free to play title has an option to spend quiet a lot on some in-game currency that will run dry before you reach somekind of end game. And ppl still do it. The more wailords in PokeMMO, the better. Have you ever advertise PokeMMO to your friends? They are usually turned off by the stationary requirement to play it. Most of ppl(I for example play on emulator so not everyone) played pokemon on gameboy(and later on phone). It's natural to prefer something less restrictive from something more restrictive. On mobile you can play it from time to time when you are bored whenever you are. In my case i would choose battle on PokeMMO over battle on Showdown app 10 out of 10 times. I have no idea so I can't take voice in this matter. I must disagree with this. I dont know what makes you say that. Maybe your top-notch definition is outdated or some application damaged your trust. Even if developers decide to release it on Google Play Store and App Store (They dont need to, they can spread it the same way they spread PC version, and avoid whole pain in the ass of submiting application to the store, especially App Store) they wont be starting as a new title on the store. They already have playerbase which will use it. And let's be real, both shops (especially GP) is filled with liquid shit and it's not that hard to stand out as a good app. But i would not go this way. Long story short: Mobile version is natural way of growing for games like this. The real downside, is time spend to develop application, and later time spend on maintaining this version. Is it worth the profits? I dont know and i doubt anyone of us can tell that, especially when we are not even in driving cabin of this bus called PokeMMO.

From time to time in my conversations with friends, the topic of pokemons floats and I usually recommend them PokeMMO. They usually asks one important question on which I don't know an answer: "How does PokeMMO stays afloat and is not taken down by you-know-who". I always explaining them for how long PokeMMO exist but still I'm wondering why we survived for this long outside of radar of company who is known to sue everyone and everything over even most minor thing. If this is not something super secret I would be really grateful for explanation (explanation, not "perhaps")

You do know about Pokemon emulators on mobile devices? The UI and pokemmo stuff needs a solution to fit to mobile but it's still not that hard as you might think, the mobile version would look a bit different.

@Matoka started this symbolic countdown but i wonder if he ever thought what to do when we reach "O" and update will still be in shipyard not ready for PTS :D

We have split without IVgen moves. How can you be worried about fcked up meta? xd

Choo Choo!

Why not just send a photo

I think I should blush and stop browsing forum this early

I would love to play it on phone in situations where I can't reach my PC. It's not like you will be unable to play on PC when they ever release mobile app. Why so negative and against it?

is it consumable or not?

for sure. The same way ppl hang in Mauvile after Hoenn launch. The question is Castella or Nimbasa? Castella have upper hand for being port city but come on, who would choose some weird bug guy over cool electric gym leader? Especialy when both previous hang spots are cities of electric badge (not mentioning Virdian the ancient hang spot, because it would ruin my argument)
