The undestroyable item with the text "Better hang on to it." will have a use later on. This was given as an easter egg for upcoming features. Thanks for your question.

App Stores may automatically update the game without your knowledge (e.g. our Linux packaging) Some components of the game client, e.g. translations, may be automatically updated on application start without prompting in the future. This notifies you about it Players may not understand the concept of updates and how they're applied. Presumably, if they launch the application, they want to play the game, and this disclaims what's required if we're fulfilling that request Note the language which states game client, not game. This does not pertain to server-side content changes

Tough luck mate, I've already sold your info to Temu (Shop Like A Billionaire®). Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to resist the sweet deals (up to 70% off retail prices this Fall/Winter??). Though, can you really afford to lose out on Temu™'s 90-day return policy and free shipping on orders over $39?

To put it in plain English; We store your connection history for as long as we need to We store UIDs for your hardware for authentication We don't share anything with anyone other than what's critical for ongoing operations (i.e. Ourselves / subcontractors / government agencies when they phone me up looking for a good time) An easier document to read is the Privacy Policy, which spells out what exactly we collect and what we do with it (i.e. nothing).

Piss off bro, sometimes I forget stuff

For those complaining about the 'insane grind': Yes, that was a problem, that's why it was reduced. We copied the numbers without really thinking about it from Christmas, and that was our mistake. It should have been reduced a few days ago, but the major issues from this update took several days longer than expected to fix, and that pushed back any further development for the event itself. For those complaining about 'compensation': Sorry, but no. Your reward is more cherish balls, which you already got. For those complaining about how it's not good enough: Yep, I agree, but we were constrained for time due to the aforementioned issues. Unfortunately this event's development went on too long and we started running into scheduling conflicts, so we pushed what we had. It'll be better next year. For those complaining about Male/Female costume splits: We'll make a female-oriented one next year, but one of the core design decisions here is trying to make all clothing wearable by both character genders. This is how the game's always been. Since our artists' "bandwidth" is limited around events, that lends to costumes which try to look good for both genders.

Changelog: 22/02/2024 Lunar New Year 2024 Zodiac Masters have been spotted nearby Raid Dens. The Masters are seeking the Zodiac Tablets handed out by the old woman curtailing the unruly swarms.

Your friend was banned because he bought $10M gold from an RMT vendor on February 5th (he promptly spent it on 2 comps and a bunch of Mysterious Balls from the Christmas event). I guess, technically, that's not an item Don't buy gold and you won't have any problems 👍

This will be resolved in the next game update

Look forward to their full implementation later this year

Commenting here, since the OP also PM'd me complaining about this topic: To expand on this reply, "Pseudo-random" doesn't actually imply anything about the quality of the random numbers generated. Instead, it defines how the randomness pool used by an algorithm came to be (pseudo-random entropy sources), the algorithm used, or could express an RNG which can be replayed with the same seed (pseudo-random number generator). Pseudo-random entropy means that the randomness of a number generator is achieved through software means (i.e. by using the computer's own entropy sources) instead of through a hardware card which reads something which is believed to be truly random (like the background radiation of the universe or electrical noise). Hardware like this is only really necessary when dealing with problems like regulated gaming at casinos, high security applications, or applications where you need a lot of random numbers really fast (like internet certificate authorities). CSPRNG is a class of random number generation which is widely regarded as "secure enough for everything important in your life." It's designed by people much smarter than anyone who makes this game and is what we use for the game's economically-relevant RNG (i.e. your shiny rolls, personality values, IVs, etc.). We figure that if it's good enough to secure your financial accounts, it's good enough to make your shiny rates fair. For implementation-specific concerns, dive into how Linux generates random numbers.

Changelog: 30/12/2023 Xmas 2023: When spawning new event-themed swarms, swarms will now choose a new species every time Mysterious Balls (2023) have been updated with additional species When turning in swarms to Elfbots, after obtaining the Wishing Stone, Elfbots will now issue a random cosmetic item (or set of them) every 60 turn-ins. Players who had more than 280 turn-ins before this update can claim their rewards from the main Elf NPC (where the Wishing Stone was obtained) Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where Articuno wouldn't be usable in PvP Fixed an issue where, in Co-Op PvE battles, player 1 wouldn't be able to correctly switch monsters Fixed an issue where Trick Room would result in a speed tie for all monsters

Mysterious Balls are also affected by shiny charm / donor status modifiers. They function as a base rate override The system is structured as: -> Pick a base rate. This can be 1/24,000 (current global rate) or ball rate (1/8,000, 1/4,000, or 1/2,500) -> Multiply by donor status rate (0.9 if active, or 1.0 if not) -> Multiply by shiny charm rate (0.9 if active, or 1.0 if not) Which means that you get theoretical maximum odds as: -> 1/19,440 for global rate -> 1/6,480 for Mysterious Poke Ball rates -> 1/3,240 for Mysterious Great/Premier Ball rates -> 1/2,025 for Mysterious Ultra Ball rates

The holiday charm isn't actually a modifier, it's just a base rate override. It sets the base rate for any non-Mysterious Ball encounters to 1/24,000 (30,000 * 20% = 6,000). Charms and active donor status apply their rate adjustments as multiplicative modifiers, such that you have your base rate multiplied by a negative value, like 1/(24000 * 0.9 * 0.9). This means that the maximum theoretical rate is 1/19440 for normal encounters (which is rolled for each monster encountered)

Look forward to it then!

Players affected by client tampering closures (and temporary bans) are running software which interferes with the game client. Most of the time this is autoclickers/macroing software. Sometimes it's because they're using a "multi-game" app which allows them to run multiple clients on the same device. You can visit https://pokemmo.com/tampering for more information. Players are instructed to uninstall the software, and provided it's their first offence, will have their tempbans removed. After you filed your ticket and were instructed to remove your macro software, you stopped being kicked for tampering. This was not an error. You haven't been banned, but you may want to visit the above support article before you are.

You were banned because you were cheating on Android between September 30th & October 3rd, shortly after you made your account. We don't always ban people immediately when we find them cheating. Sometimes we wait a few weeks to make sure we get a lot of them at the same time.

Due to balancing changes, Water-type Hidden Ability Patches and Heart Scales have been delisted from the GTL for this update. Additionally, previous versions of the changelog forgot to mention that Johto's Gym Leader money rates have been fixed to match other regions.
