As was stated here, this isn't a bug, just ignorance of mechanics. Maybe will tweak it so it only wipes PP after the battle has ended. please enjoy this gold star of compensation: ⭐

Contrary to popular opinion, we do in fact have brains and can distinguish between AI issues and mechanical issues. Baton Pass's issue was with its mechanics. We've done balancing changes for PvE before, but I think the last one was a nerf to Base Power of a low-level Fire skill which stomped everything <lvl 15, or something. It's very rare that we nerf anything solely because of PvE performance Edit: It was Incinerate, because it stomped Snivy pickers when getting hit by Gym 1 in Unova. We've also omitted base power updates for Rock Tomb because it stomped players when Brock showed up.

We had 3 choices when dealing with Baton Pass: "Let it rot, banned in PvP and working as an 'I Win' button in PvE" "Delete it from the game because it's too bullshit" "Remove the problematic mechanic of it." We chose #3 obviously. So how do you go about that? Do you trade additional complexity for LC/Doubles viability, or do you reintroduce dry passing / sub passing everywhere else and remove the problematic mechanic? What makes the game in its totality better? As far as I'm aware, stat passing via baton pass was only significantly viable in LC anyway, as it was a niche strat in Doubles. So is LC worth taking away these strategies from OU/UU/NU? I don't think it's a very hard question; We're not going to split mechanics based on tiers, so you have to give and take somewhere.

I feel like we'll need at least a year to be interested in doing another region. There's an alarming amount of "not yet implemented" within the current ones, as well as gameplay polish which needs addressed for non-regional content (PvP Seasons, etc.)

This is normal to happen once. Does the message continue appearing even after several .app launches? What happens if you remove the app completely and reinstall from the dmg?

We pushed out another update for the native .app earlier today, downloadable at https://pokemmo.eu/downloads/mac/, which should resolve "Stuck @ dock" errors

To workaround the issue: Open a terminal Type killall bash and Enter Relaunch the App We'll look to push a new version shortly

This and existing Release confirmation dialogues now also default to "No". Fixed Fling cast restrictions Fling can now fling items which have no battle effect, e.g. Potions.

Like you said, on the 2 minutes I thought of this topic, the only way I can see it being functional is: You bring (15?) candidates to choose from. Your opponent chooses (5?) to ban. You try to create a cohesive team from the (10?) remaining. Fill it in with whatever numbers you want. From that pool, players ban out the most versatile options you have, limiting your ability to create a cohesive team. I don't find it terrible in concept, it's just.. a completely different game to what we have now, but with the same problems. You still lose in the "draft", you're just hoping you get lucky and the opponent misplays their bans so you can create the strategy you want. And if the issue is "grind" like the second post said, then I'm failing to see how it actually addresses it, and why this approach would be better than cutting out the middleman and just introducing some form of rentals for players who want to skip straight to PvP.

Your account was terminated due to persistent sexual content in public chats and general chat rulebreaking under several accounts. You were given this warning the last time that you were banned for it, earlier this month: Your inappropriate messages, each of which were either related to sexual or racist content in public, resulted in 8 warnings/mutes under your main account within this past year, a few under alternate accounts, and culminated to a permanent ban. Unfortunately, we're not interested in serving players who can't stop talking about their boy bits, and we feel like you were given more than enough chances to quit it.

What is or isn't allowed in chat typically falls to the discretion of GMs. This includes both the directives issued by the Code of Conduct, as well as personal discretion entrusted in each GM / Global Moderator. Regardless of discretion though, drug discussion in public chats has been something which has been consistently disallowed by GMs for several years. Since there's confusion about it due to not being "officially against the rules", we'll update the Code of Conduct later this week to reflect it. Note that we don't typically care about topics like this in private discussions, i.e. Team / Link / Whisper chats.

For affected Java 7 systems, please update to Java 8 using https://java.com or redownload the installer package from https://pokemmo.eu/downloads Bug Fixes Improved support for keyboard input/controllers in many UIs Fixed screenshot alpha channels Many other minor changes

We don't care about static analysis, it's not like anyone can stop you anyway. We frown upon posting decompiled information though. p.s. Don't tamper too much, or you'll get banned regardless. If you find a gameplay-affecting exploit please report it at [email protected]
