Hi, The creative writing section isn't for team drama or shit flinging between players. Please resolve your drama somewhere else, so we don't have to deal with it. Thanks.

@Desu deploy the nerfs

Since the game mode is new and does not play like anything else in-game, here are some developer's tips: Scoring There is a minimum amount of "score" which is required before rewards will be paid out. Score is increased for every Big Robot Part you collect, and for every wave you clear. The requirements to complete a wave will increase as waves are cleared. After you clear some waves, it will be given an exponential bonus. Players The game mode is best played with 4 players, with 2 squads of 2 players. Willingness to communicate with each other and coordinate your actions will significantly impact your team's viability. All players share a pool of 5 lives in which they can die. If your link faints 5 times, the next person to faint will be kicked from the link and their game will end Building your team Classes of Elfbots are meant to work together. Talk with your teammates to decide what is best, and decide at the beginning of the mission. While in your starting area, your Elfbot can be changed an infinite amount of times. Use this to search for a build complimentary to your team. If you leave your starting area, you may only change your Elfbot once more. Afterwards, you are locked for the rest of the mission. If you change your Elfbot type, you will fully heal Enemies The aggro mechanics are similar to an action role playing game: Whoever aggros the enemy will bring in their closest ally to fight with them, if they are within range. It is recommended you stay close together, and share the burden of damage. Presents Presents will respawn every 2 completed waves, in the same spots Presents come in 4 types: Healing (Green) These will fully heal your team, including status and PP Stat Up (Red) These will increase the EV stats of every member of your link Big Robot Part (Pink) Collect these, and bring them back to your base Held Items (Blue) Held items are random. I recommend that you talk to your party and see who needs what item Good luck.

Bug Fixes Fixed several client crashes Fixed an issue where, in some cases, ball catch formulas would calculate incorrectly for low-end balls This primarily affected cases where status ailments and a large level disparity would allow guaranteed catches, instead of correctly scaling the formula. Other edge cases may have been affected. Offline players can now be blocked Added a Link chat type Fling will no longer allow you to destroy some "important" items by default In PvP, if an item is stolen from another player, Fling will now always allow you to Fling the stolen item Fling can no longer be called by Metronome/Assist Fixed an issue where Korean (한글) IMEs may not have worked properly in search dialogues Fixed an issue where fainted party members would be omitted from skill hotkey usages Desktop: Simultaneous directional keys should now rollover properly Notes: Tiny Robot Parts, Big Robot Parts, and Children's Presents from the 2015-2017 events have been removed with this update.

Yeah, it's a co-op thing. The mechanics are simpler though, we ended up yeeting the north pole stuff since not a lot of people really liked it

one of these days boltblade might be right and you'll look really silly dude

What new one?

Old event started by accident, sorry about that.

ok, added for next

We don't modify success rates of moves depending on AI. You're wrong about literally everything you just posted about.

I actually don't consider it a QoL feature. In a game about collectibles and selling items, having poor inventory management UI is just unacceptably bad. Especially now that Android and its single screen limitation is something we have to design around. I ended up spending several days just to make this work, and I still consider our current Mail inventory management to be unacceptable, but we'll revisit that some other time.

This update performed a data prune which removed history of trainer battle rematches for common trainers (normal NPCs you rematch). Please do not report issues of low level trainer fights; they will scale back up after defeat. Please report any script issues (broken gameplay) arising from this. Thanks

General HMs/Out of Battle skills can now be hotkeyed through the Summary frame Android: Onscreen DPAD deadzones are now configurable in the Settings menu Android: Added DPAD Directional Assist This sensitivity setting can be configured in the Settings menu. Android: Enabled MSAA options (on devices which support it) UI Global Trade Link changes: Added previews for addon items Added a "Claim All" function Particle filters no longer include Shiny particles Fixed tier list filtering GTL Mail will now be automatically deleted after claiming items PC/GTL/Mail: PC-function enabled PC/GTL/Mail windows can now be opened at once PCs are now considered a valid inventory for GTL sales/Mail sending Fixed an issue where Held Items couldn't be taken from the PC Some monster tooltips now show more stats Added "Always show battle HUD" setting This option prevents skill animations from hiding the battle HUD. Default on for PvP/Spectate Added battle indicators for entry hazard effects Bug Fixes Fixed a startup crash with some older Linux distributions (Notably, Ubuntu 14.04) Please note, you may need to redownload the game client if it does not update correctly. To do this, remove the ~/.pokemmo folder and redownload from the website. Fixed sound mod loading Fixed sprite corruption which may occur with some hats (commonly seen with Witch hats) Fixed a crash while viewing old battle replays Contest descriptions for skills are now omitted if you're not in Hoenn Some HMs/Out of Battle skill animations may now be skipped after being seen Fixed Flinching causing pauses in battles Android: Fixed performance issues related to Sandstorm/Hail battle weather fx Fixed an issue where Scrappy would not affect Counter Fixed an issue where Aromatherapy/Heal Bell's ailment heals wouldn't correctly display for status ailment tooltips Fixed Mimic ignoring Gen 4/5 skills Android: Fixed various issues with the battle UI Fixed an issue where battle tooltips may flash when damage was taken Fixed an issue where Spit Up could change the target's stat stages, instead of the caster's Android: Fixed item counts not showing in hotkey bars

This was added for the next game update

No. We don't change RNG rates depending on past bans. Our ban policies today are not the same as they were 5 years ago. If this person were found cheating today, they would have earned a permanent account ban too. We don't go back and revisit old bans when we do policy changes, which is why their account is still open.

Changelog 11/11/2018: Bug Fixes Fixed broadcasting of current battle states on spectate / reconnection Added some indicators for current status ailments / HP % to the battle UI Added weather effects for battles Fixed UI flashing during battle swaps Fixed particles suppressing the UI Fixed an issue where hitting a target behind Substitute with Future Sight might trigger retaliatory effects (Rocky Helmet, etc.) Fixed Shiny animation causing a small delay on swap Held item effects should no longer play in Contests

k

Assuming you mean in the overworld, probably not

Yeah, we're planning on general "premium" particles, with free/limited ones released with events. Basically the same as how other cosmetics in-game work

It's exclusive to pumpking goodie bags, but I'm not sure if it's exclusive to 2018. I'm indecisive about it. For now, until there's a message in the particle which says "Exclusive to Halloween 2018", you can assume they'll return next year.

Yeah

Update 3 Halloween 2018 Made the boss harder again Added a Pumpking-exclusive particle to the Pumpking Goodie Bag Pumpking reward increased to 4 bags Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where some players could get stuck on Tubeline Bridge on certain days Added a basic particle filter for the GTL Future Sight has been updated to Gen 5+ battle mechanics: Future Sight will now calculate damage on the end turn, instead of the casting turn Future Sight will now respect type-changing effects such as Normalize, Sturdy effects such as Focus Sash and Endure, Wonder Guard, can now inflict critical hits, and is affected by stat stages of the caster and target Fixed a bug where Future Sight would not trigger berries on damage Fixed a bug where Future Sight would not be affected by No Guard Fixed a bug where Future Sight would not trigger Bide damage Brick Break will now only destroy Reflect/Light Screen if the skill landed (substitute included) Added some weather effect messages Fixed an issue where wild event ghosts could not be run from

Yeah, I'll bump the priority of it.
