Thanks to everyone who participated, congrats to all who won & a big thanks to our gracious host, @SirDusty ! To everyone who lost (like me): We'll get 'em next time :v

Damp. Rocks. @SirDusty

GTL is never the same price as people are willing to actually let something go for. If you see a vanity for 20m and someone won't sell it for 500k less (esp in PURE CASH), they don't actually wanna sell, and you need to move on to the next seller. That said, thanks for the data @Quakkz. A quick glance at the most recent prices indicate maybe we're in a recession. Wonder what that could be from? Nuke time from devs? Nah, couldn't be..

I'll take 8 tickets. Mail sent in game.

You have a few choices. You can either right click another member and make them the leader, and then leave - or you can press "g" in game and click this button: The method pictured above takes at least 24 hours and can be cancelled though.

I actually liked walking under that dude. PS. Damp Rock shiny trading market soonTM

Would be very useful, nice idea

Looks amazing. Incredibly fast too. Thanks!

I sent you mail with my discord name and messaged you on discord. Excited to see what you made :)

Hey there - really love the art style! If you accept commissions, I'd be willing to pay 2m+ for a depiction of my in-game character. You can make it as a signature or profile picture, whichever you prefer. Here are some (older) images which my in-game character usually looks like: Feel free to use whichever image of me you feel most comfortable drawing, should you decide to accept my request. Thanks in advance!

The picture he linked is showing a patched rom - not a tile mod, that's why it only works in the region (rom) that the patch was applied to. Tile mods have been disabled since the 2017 update when unova was added: Unfortunately, it doesn't like they ever properly noted that they disabled them in any official announcements, so the best evidence that I can find to support this is this post where I asked Darkshade: Some rom patches do still work, but seasons seem to mess with the tiles which change colors or are semi transparent or something, and it looks kinda wacky. I have no idea how to fix this, but I occasionally swap in the version of fire red which I patched with this mod: Here are some example pictures of me running this patch in November (2020) - notice how some areas look really nice and others look way off: Here's a comparison of some areas which are shown in the mod post with how they should be vs. how they currently look in game: There is some hope with Rom Patches ([IPS]) but I'm not sure how exactly they could fix the current issues - maybe if they just left certain tiles alone or something. Hope this helps!

tile mods have been disabled since the 2018 update when unova released (i think maybe because thats also when seasons were added but not really sure). There is no way to run a working tile mod currently. The only way to change the way the world looks would be to make a rom patch file but Ive tried running some of the older rom patches files recently and they looked super weird and broken. I think @Darkshade would be who you want to talk to if you want to know more about rom patches/tile mods

hello yes. I'd like 1 register for this next, and all future raffles pls. I believe I qualify as follows: "people in teams my alts are in and im in good terms with"

A friend of mine, named @ayuwokip, made this, and asked me to share it here for him, as he is not very familiar with Forums in general. Please feel free to show support and he will finish the design:

Hey, remember when devs released a dev blog in 2018 saying they hoped to get dungeons and HA's out to us within "2 weeks" and then when 2 weeks passed they released another update stating that a certain community was doing too much botting/RMT for them to actually work on the game due to the amount of ban appeals they had to reply to? Yeah! I remember that too! 3 years later and nothing ^_^ Just wanna point out - in regards to (but not limited to) legendaries, dungeons, the hidden mew under the truck, the fact you don't believe the shiny rate is fair, the very existence of PokeMMO & the reason mass daily RP donators get rare shinys way easier- they've stated before that Dungeons is used as their "go-to" scapegoat. This has been their mass response excuse to when players question why the game is the way it is since 2012 (when the first players started asking why Mewtwo and the bird trio couldn't be caught). It''s a bit funny to me that anyone takes them serious when they mention major updates or dungeons in general. Once they said HA's were going to be dungeon exclusive, it was obvious that it was a charade. If anyone hasn't read this post yet, I encourage you to, as it's extremely relevant:

honestly this is so evil

This is stupid, lemme explain why: Staff's initial justification for creating shiny breeding (when it's not an actual mechanic in the main series) in 2016 was that it was a shiny sink, similar to money sinks. When they added hordes, they knew it would cause a massive inflation in the total number of shinys, and all shiny prices would tank as a result, unless they did something about it. They legit made the mechanics intentionally so we have to "consume" 2 shinys to get 1 better shiny to try to balance out the addition of hordes. Since your suggestion is to allow shinys to be refined without actually consuming any other shinys, it's pretty safe to say it will never be added

In early 2016 when hordes were added, I was an avid shiny trader, buying and selling shinys or RP items for whatever I could make a tiny profit off. I remember I had sunk most of my money into a shiny phanpy (worth around 3m at the time) and a Kyu hat (also worth around 3m at the time). I had about 850k to spare, and saw a friend selling a 30-day donator status for 800k in trade chat. The average price in trade for a 30-day donator was around 1.2m so I decided to buy it, intending just to make a little money off of it. Some of my teammates were horde hunting at the time, and I decided I wanted to hunt with them for an OT shiny - aka I decided that it was worth it to spend my last 800k by using the donator status instead of trying to make 400k or so gross profit (since it probably wasn't too hard to make 800k within 30 days, it wasn't a massive gamble). I was already horde hunting before using the donator, but after 2 days on the donator status, I met this wonderful yellow clowd birb: After this I was so excited I swear that I couldn't stop grinning for a solid 2 days. Out of all the shinys I was hunting at the time, this is the one which I wanted most. On the same 30-day donator status ticket / shortly under 3 weeks later, I found this: Iirc I was around 573 hours for Swablu, and slightly under 700 hours for Azumarill. This was before encounter counters existed, so I have no idea the total number of encounters, but I assume they were both under 30k (knowing actually how long that takes now). TLDR: Commit to hunting for 1 month and maybe you'll get lucky c:

This is intentional to prevent GTL from being flooded useless pokemon afaik. If they're just random pokemon you can either release them, try trading them to people via trade chat, or price them at 1,000$+the money you want to make (for example price them at 1,200$ if you wanted to gain $200.). Chances are, if they're not worth over 1k then they're random garbage pokemon that anyone can catch. I don't think the devs want us sorting through 25,000 listings of 5$ magikarps. It's prob a big consumption of server space since the listings remain up even when the player is offline. There's a suggestion box portion of the forums if you want to suggest they lower the base tax price, but if they lower it to 500$ those same pokemon will just fall to the equivalent of the base tax again, and be worth $500 instead of $1,000. I think a good way to reduce the endless 1,000$ would be to have a "donation" listing with no tax, no money gained & no price, so anyone can claim them. Kinda like a lost and found or mystery trading in a sense

I think pretty much everyone can appreciate this suggestion. I know for a fact mods already track steps taken by each player. It prob wouldn't be too difficult for them to track the total number of pokemon encountered or hatched. If they don't hunt shinys, they can either not use the feature, or ignore it completely. Currently there are too many people claiming they did 3,000,000,000 encounters and gave up on shiny hunting, when in reality they only stand in vermilion or play PVP (at least egg hatch while AFK in verm ammitire?). I'm sure even non-pvp players would check it now and then just out of curiosity. Wonderful suggestion Sunset.

Just wanna point out this statement is wildly inaccurate: I think it only seems that way in some certain regions/countries specifically because most cultures lean heavily to one or the other. Globally though (and this is a global game), Android has something like 70%+ of the total smart phone users. Give it a search if you wanna look more into that, there's tons and tons of sources & they all have slightly diff numbers, but show Android totally clapping iOS on total smartphone users since around 2012. I know that this suggestion has been brought up many times since the mobile client was added in 2018 and typically the responses are just saying either: "It's a legal issue due to PokeMMO needing to be in the apple app store" I believe jailbreaking the device makes this no longer necessary, or maybe like @kuplion mentioned there are alternatives, but I'm not a lawyer and don't know exactly how iOS works. PokeMMO seems to have pretty good lawyers for the game to still be alive tho, if it's possible legally to get their game to work on iOS they prob should eventually as it would allow more players to be here, and ultimately a longer lifespan of the game. "Staff are already struggling to push actual updates, this would only take up more time" All suggestions take time/work from devs. Why would they even have a suggestion box if they didn't want players suggesting things that they could implement later on? This is by far the weakest excuse as to why something shouldn't be implemented, and basically amounts to saying "I don't like this idea and it shouldn't be added because I like other suggestions better". Suggestion boxes are for brainstorming ideas, not comparing them. In general, this suggestion seems good to me. The more players who can join, the better the game will be in the long run. IMO it would be nice to see a staff member share their thoughts on if an iOS client is (legally) possible & if it would be worth the time/effort for them. If anything just to prevent 100 more threads asking for this in the future
