Why not just keep everything in one thread? Like.... all it takes is @FlareBlitzzto update it when he has time and people input stuff on the thread

raids were officially introduced but only implemented during events, thats it, maybe there is a bigger movepool for some pokemons

And in case of divorce, is there child support to the pokémon offsprings?

we all just want to marry Daryl. Ever lo, Razimove

can you do a TLDR?

I have enough yen to last until my great great grandson decides to play this for some weird reason, thats beyond the point, I just like many veterans "lucked" out with the chinese invasion. But you know what? The chinese named 19374892 also has that amount and he played for 1 month, he for sure grinded so much on that month that he accomplished the same feet that I did and many other veterans right? It totally doesnt scream p2w right? Like I said anyone can turn a blind eye to it and play the game, but it is there and is effectively an issue, the game itself is 100% p2w, you can start today and have full boxes ready for comp in any tier or format by buying RP, you can get anything aside from event account bound vanities with RP.

It doesnt really add up in the long run, anything adds up in the long run but you are getting the crumbs while they have the whole cake in their hands. Its pure copium to say ahah but then I can invest when I want, sure you can, go for it champ, they also invest their wallet and instead of waiting years, they get what they want on that second. Its an option sure, but the game is purely p2w from the moment that they introduced a legal way of you to trade real life currency into ingame currency and denying that is just turning a blind eye to it. Can you play the game to some extent without ever spending a cent? You can, can you expect to even get close to owning some of the rare items if you start today? Not really, if you only make 150mil during an event and you have 3 to 5 events per year, is that really of value? What if you start today? Unlucky Also, you mentioned the event, and inbetween the event, how much yen are you making daily assuming you dont make pokemmo a second job? Maybe 500k for someone that doesnt market flip? Maybe less than that Also lets ignore the part where you mention 4 devices when for some even having one that actually runs the game is a luxury.

Did you know that this entire game is p2w and you are actually just slaving yourself away doing gym runs etc for little reward? Some chinese just slaps his credit card on the screen and boom he's a billionaire. This is such a poor way of seeing it, and you dont need darkrai for any content so its pointless to buy mystic watches anyway.

nerfs dont change much if like you said they are artificially limited (which honestly they really arent, there are people with 30+ alts, and is a lot more than a handful)

economy inflation when e4 and gym runs exist aswell as being able to sell untradable items and berries to npc at a decent value is kinda... just an extra problem. (although that would be one less incentive to botting which is good) I for one want a butcher knife so I can sell slowpoke tails like on the anime to feel the immersion

Its a sink in the sense that youll end up owning multiples of the same pokemon and they all fill a niche, why is a gen3 pokemon still worth what it is worth today when there are so many of them bred for comp? But given how bad the rewards for competitive are, and how little introduction for it there is to newcomers, markets end up oversaturated

PvP ends up being the proper sink, which would probably happen a lot more if there were better incentives for people to join the comp scene

Community effort over something that should be an oversight to begin with is a bit of a rough approach

They just need to place Orange on the name of that one aswell and problem solved

Is that active staff a dev? If not, its irrelevant

Care to explain to us how they balance themselves? VGC meta is plagued by the same meta teams with very few outliers that perform well with different pokemons. (And before you say something, I classified myself twice for VGC worlds, although I didnt play since they started nitpicking on Pkhex and I didnt have time/wanted to pay for specific IVs.) The thing that makes VGC unique is how flexible some people are with their movesets, their EV spreads and nature, that makes it super interesting, but you'll basically always see 2-3 of the same pokemon in each time on the top brackets (both on handheld and on smogon ladder, aswell as irl tournaments) Celebi would actually be somewhat healthy on our meta, he isnt even close to being ubers, jirachi has the togekiss syndrome, while being a very strong pivot, a very strong support and being able to pack different sets from physical to special, which could give him some uber characteristics, they do not in any shape or form help to control any pokemon that is deemed ubers. How would any of them help with a Kyurem for example?

This was one way to provide a middle ground to everyone, you can use it and still be limited in a way that it wont become meta and be unfair to those who dont own it, yes its not the best approach, in fact the best approach would be to not approach it, but now the mistake is already done. If they were a bit more serious, they could have a beta test server open at times and select a few handful of users to test things before going live with patches, would kill the element of surprise but would also prevent a lot of this headaches

This is what I dont understand, Darkrai assuming you cant pvp with him is just a novelty, we gain nothing by having it introduced. Their mistake was actually giving the players the chance to play with a uber legendary, they'd never see any of this spam if they never introduced them and simply said nop no uber legendaries will be introduced

This is a lie, we also button smash just like people who shiny hunt, sometimes it can look smart, but it was just a coincidence

Well but he should be aware that pokemmo movesets allow for this to happen I guess, nothing wrong there

What is completely impossible?

Can we all agree that if we get BW2, Landorus T will be OU? 👀

togekiss 2.0 here we go again

May I ask exactly how would having a darkrai change your gameplay in any way shape or form if it would be restricted in most content and nerfed in pve or pve buffed/reworked to counter darkrai strategies etc? And given that they already said multiple times that it will stay like this, why do you keep trying to push your agenda? Just think of darkrai has a novelty pokemon like something you have for funsies once in a while I'm down for VGC format being added, that would be a really good addition, but given how paranoid they are with intelectual property, copyright infringement and whatnot, I doubt it, but that would be one of the best updates I can think of

Why do people want to slave even harder during xmas doing a repeatable action thousands of times and expecting a different outcome? I'll legit never understand shiny hunter
