Having Azphiel as my teammate in PSL, I can absolutely assure you that he was and is never coached, him being the main reason why he almost got us so close to the playoffs this season. He just hasn't touched other tiers recently, but most know that he's a multi-tier. 

I'm pretty sure that they aren't able to implement Kalos due to the 3D sprites/graphics involved - other games are able to do this because they use their own customised graphics/UI throughout.
 
Also regarding fairy types, there would only be a few impactful ones for PvP (e.g. Togekiss, Azumarill, Clefable) - it's more realistic that they would introduce BW2 first if they were to ever add a new region.

Even without Soul Dew Latios would still be currently too strong and centralising in OU - it's ability to run specs, scarf, CM with colbur berry along with other Pokemon to support its checks would be too much, and we already had a lot of people complaining about how centralising/strong Sharpness Gallade was in OU.
 
Also I disagree, adding stronger Pokemon will actually cause more players to run defensive teams as they will be trying to run checks to these threats, making it an even more boring tier (e.g. Not to the extent, but Lucario being in UU caused certain stuff to be spammed in the tier).
 
I also mentioned there are ways to deal with stall:
Pressure with hazard stack teams and a spin blocker (e.g. Gliscor + Jellicent/Gengar) - play around Tyranitar due to the obvious Pursuit Heatran is a great anti-stall mon with Taunt + Magma Storm + Earth Power Nasty Plot + Taunt + Roost Hydreigon can help win against a lot of defensive Pokemon Mixed Infernape Conkeldurr CB/SD Crawdaunt DD + sub Gyarados (when positioned correctly) I'm not saying one of these solutions will 100% work, but these are ideas that can help play around it.

Agreed, I think the thing is a lot of players that make a thread here have some favourite Pokémon so want it implemented in the game with no consideration of the long-term impacts in the meta and in PvE.
 
We're finally getting legends added to the game including huge ones like Jirachi and Heatran recently, but people just want xxx added with no actual justification to how it would benefit the playerbase.
 
Not to mention the lower tiers are already unstable as it is, adding a bunch of other stuff in OU will likely shake up everything even more when we're still in lengthy discussions to sort certain stuff out.

Latios/Latias would be too strong in this meta, yes there are several checks (e.g. Metagross/Jirachi/Heatran/Ferrothorn/Blissey/Chansey etc...) but it will be too oppressive against offensive teams, also in gen 5 OU it's almost mandatory to have Tyranitar and/or a steel type because of how strong psyspam is (excluding perma weather since we don't have that on MMO).
 
Also in gen 5 OU they banned gems which is allowed on MMO.
 
Devs have released a lot of stuff in the recent events, just be patient about the remaining HAs. As for stall I hate that playstyle but you can play around it with hazard stacks + spin blocker, a taunt user, mixed Infernape, Conkeldurr, Crawdaunt - just a few ways you can pressure stall teams.

Latios would be the definition of uber for our metagame, heck even cresselia could be considered defensively uber, since she has the tools to deal with pretty much anything that would check it, maybe aside from weavile, and even weavile can't enter safely on some sets. Keldeo is not even worth discussing, you can just check his BST, stabs and try and figure answers to him (that in reality don't exist on our meta)

Well what was the point to show it then? Pointless to argue though I guess. I consider myself a bad player and even with a team i made up in 5 minutes at the start of the season, probably get veteran in like a day, if it took me this number of games to find a team for the season only to end up at this elo , I'd quit pvping alltogether. No wonder it's always these kind of people who want more solutions against stall...
 

There used to be some merit to the idea of not allowing certain legendries and hidden abilities, but at this point there is little reason for their ban.  Currently we lack hidden ability Alakazam, a core piece in the gen 5 metagame, that was never overpowered.  Additionally, this game has relevant counters already such as tyranitar, heatran, and gastrodon.  As for legendaries Keldeo, and Celebi both already have pre existing counters and were never overpowered in gen 5 OU.  The Sinnoh lake trio is also mediocre to bad and have generally always served as decent suicide leads.  As for the regis, the main three are all mediocre to completely unviable, with regigigas only needing a compelx ban in doubles(no regigigas+reactive gas), but would still be a niche gimmick pick in OU to counter Weezing stall teams.  Similarly can be said of Cresselia.  Victini would also be solid option in the meta, that would have relevant counters such as heatran.  While latios and latias remain the most potentially problematic legendries, removing soul dew makes them slightly worse than Hydreigon in PVE, and a top tier reasonable balanced PVP choice.  Additionally, not allowing Latios and Latias to use aura sphere in PVP would also be a good idea to help balance them.  
As for swords dance Garchomp, this game having base 90 outrage prevents him from ever being overpowered.  This would also be useful in reducing stall teams complete dominance in the metagame.  This is an issue because as someone that consistently has elo above 650, I have found that to progress beyond this point I have to either completely focus my team over stopping stall, or use stall myself.  Regarding draco meteor Hydreigon, becaTuse we have numerous special walls capable of checking or countering Hydriegon this should no longer be an issue.
 
TLDR:  It would be great if everyone doesn't have to wait until October to receive any "new" content(that came out 10-20 years ago).  Free: Hidden ability Alakazam, Keldeo, Celebi, Regis, Latis, Victini, Cresselia, swords dance Garchomp, and Draco Meteor Hydreigon.  This would help shift the metagame from being completely centralized around stopping stall, or playing stall. 
 
End the stall madness:

My biggest issue is the lack of consistency from the community. In OU everyone cried for the offensive Pokémon like Gallade, Draco Meteor and Swords Dance to be banned, yet everyone is fine with everything dropping to BL1 and BL2 and keeping a lot of the threats like Durant etc in NU despite it being difficult to stop once set up.
 
I would like to strongly advocate a TC based on tiers as well who actually play the game. 
 
NU was fine until the BL2 drops and UU was fine before the BL1 drops (apart from a few mons) - yes there will always be some issues on certain tiers but I've personally given up on the MMO meta because it's all full of BS which is why I prefer to just watch nowadays.
 
Give me more competent TC and decisions.

If UU/NU were consistent with what is going on in OU, nothing would ever get banned. I think bans like Staraptor in UU and Nidoqueen in NU are more than acceptable and more than what we would get for OU already. The amount of requested bans is absurd and TC should not give into this victim mentality of lower tier players crying non stop about every single pokemon they encounter.

I don't know why so many people convince themselves that once 20 pokemons get banned the tier will magically become perfect. That will never happen and it's complete delusion. And the worse part, even that dream came true, it would get unraveled instantly at the following usage movements, so please TC stop listening to the people crying all the time and just look at their record. They constantly want something ban and that won't change even after 20+ mons get banned.

edit: Just to clarify I'm not aiming the crying part at you, @Imperial.

Roserade - Ban
Vaporeon - Keep banned
Durant - Suspect test
Venomoth - Not sure, I think screens likely makes this Pokemon more busted than it is
 
Not sure why people want Vaporeon unbanned, especially with Wish not being nerfed like the other self-recovery moves. It seems this community favours a more defensive/stall meta anyway.

I like this idea, simple and I wouldn’t fe totally ripped off.
I think you’re probably right.  I just wish there was some more communication from the developers about the stones.

The sad fact is you were scammed, we completed the Jirachi raid and got the same wishing stone and didnt have to waste all those hours during the Christmas event

This post is to say farewell shortly (after the PSL ends) to the PokeMMO Community, but it's main purpose is to serve as a tribute for all of the players, and communities who caused a good impact during my game career here. Before heading off to mention all (or most) of them, while I've been thinking about doing this post a while ago, I'm pretty much improvising it. It's been ~8 long years, of which I've been active around 4 of them, ceasing the activity in the game, almost completely around a year ago.
 
As it follows:
- I have to mention a group of people with who I shared great moments over the years, some from a while ago, some I met more recently. KaynineXL, Seth, Revz, BrokenBulb, Eliissaa, Terresa, Xi, Biqueta, Forfiter, TVanne, NguyenDuy, DeusBruno, makapakaa (who I met in-real life, what an experience haha), MPDH, Tear; probably without meeting you my trip on this game wouldn't have been as enjoyable as it was. You're just great fellas to be with, I've really enjoyed the time we spent together, and I hope we can keep being in touch at some times, my most sincere appreciation to you!
 
As I can't include everyone here cause the list would be endless, I'll also mention regarding communities/teams who also were a great pleasure to meet and interact with:
- SIÂ Team:
- PSL XV Team:
- PT/BR Community:
- ES/LatAm Community:
- PL Community
- CN Community
- Läva Team
- VOW Team
- ÁvE Team (DE Community)
- PvP Community

- Some members which don't fit any of this "categories"
Last but not least, to all of those people who were kind, when I interacted with you, or when you interacted with me, specially while I was staff, to either help, participate in events, or whoever assistance you needed, thanks a lot, too! It's hard to name people here as there were thousands probably, over the years.
 
It was a cool experience, but as the only link I have with the game goes through the social part of the community and I haven't enjoyed the game for a long while, it's time to move on.
Until we meet around! o/
