- Fainting behavior differs depending on the game mode of the battle. Hordes may combine fainting animations, but general multi-battles (Doubles/Triples) will not
-
In multi-battles, if an action request is rejected, all previously queued actions are now cancelled
- For example: If in a Double Battle, if Slot 2 attempted to Swap but the opponent had Arena Trap active, only Slot 2 was able to change its action. Now, all slots will reset to accommodate the failure.

I was curious to know if PokeMMO had any plans to implement the ability to access the Wifi Battle Systems for the Sinnoh/Johto and Unova Region battle servers to owners of a real game on a DS over the fan-based re-creation of the "Nintendo Wifi connection"?
Facts to note in regards to this question/recommendation:
1. While the Nintendo Wifi connection was disabled by Nintendo, it was re-created by a 3rd party re-creating the use of the ability to utilize the function provided the settings are set properly. PokeMMO could easily allow access to this for players for cross Compatability for battles with users of Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heartgold, SoulSilver and the other battle server for Unova (Black and White 1 & 2), which runs on a separate server, allowing those on PokeMMO to battle with players who have a real version of a Pokemon game.
2. Please note that this question/suggestion is ONLY for the battle feature via WiFi to those with an actual game on a DS on the fan-based re-created "Nintendo Wifi connection", and does not apply to the trade system over WiFi to owners of a game. The reason for not suggesting trade with real games is due to the Official Pokemon Championships vetting process for eligibility, when evaluating a game for "corrupted or out of place data" so not to be disqualified for entry if having an illigitimate traded Pokemon.
Here's why this is a bad idea:
- Pkhex is a thing, and you can very easily cheat things into VGC tournaments. This style of cheating is not a thing on PokeMMO and we'd like to keep it that way.
Here's why this is not as simple as you make it out to be:
- PokeMMO does not attempt to make a 1:1 recreation of either B/W or Platinum. Fundamental battle mechanics do not behave the same. We do not have interest in rewriting the server to support Gen 5's or Gen 4's implementations of move mechanics, it's not within the scope of this project.
- Even if we had interest in rewriting moves and abilities and all the other stuff to mirror a Gen 5 or 4 implementation, which we don't, the way that the NDS works is fundamentally different. Where we have a standard client-server model in which the client connects to the server and blindly does whatever the server tells it to, the NDS uses a shared state where each client runs its battle independently of each other, only really broadcasting actions†. This means that you have to absolutely perfectly emulate the battle across both clients (something which still hasn't been accomplished, even in projects who care about older gen implementations), otherwise shared state concurrency becomes a problem. But, sure, theoretically possible I guess if you write some gameserver->wfc translation layer and throw a few years at it.
- Even if networking were compatible, which it's not, as far as I can tell NDS WFC emulation is pretty dead, with this project apparently being the standard. We don't have any interest in developing a WFC server further. Networking on the NDS is also apparently broken, but I digress.
If we overcame all these technical issues and somehow made it work, we have another problem: Nobody would play it, because you wouldn't get any hats.
† I'm not actually 100% sure that this is how B/W NDS networking works, but it seems like the most logical way for it to. I have no idea how they handled bugfix releases where move mechanics would have differed, though I guess you could manage it through a weird master/slave state for each NDS where the most recent NDS ROM does all the calculations / move functions.

They were nerfed because Matchmaking is outpacing all other BP sources at the moment, and runaway inflation is a concern. They were reduced from an average scale of (1000~3500) to (500~2000) for the timebeing. We'll be reviewing BP sources & prices to better scale them during the next game update.

Do point rewards still factor in *gulp* match length? Cuz I keep beating scrubs in 5 minutes or they wait just before the 10 minute mark to click forfeit.
To an extent, but not as much as before now. A 5 minute game will not equal a 10 minute game, but players who try to grief you by forfeiting just before "cut-off times" won't accomplish anything; the system scales much more smoothly due to increased point scales and more tolerant math.
We have considered instituting penalties against players who forfeit excessively and early, but I'm not convinced it's a great idea atm.

- Various changes have been made to the matchmaking formula to better reward players

- Toxic Spikes is now prevented by Safeguard

-
Fire / Water / Grass Pledge move fixes
- Gems no longer affect Pledge moves
- Pledge moves, when combo'd with each other, now always have STAB. This is in addition to Combo-moves' base power increase to 150.
-
Combo moves will now invoke the most effective typing, when issuing a combo move
- (Water > Fire > Grass > Water). Previously, this would use the last move cast
- Pledge moves can no longer be redirected by abilities such as Storm Drain
-

- PP differences are now healed when using PP Up / PP Max
- Ethers no longer fail if the target is fainted
- Transform can no longer Transform against Illusioned targets

There isn't a delay on spectating. We suspect there's too many battles being played, and the client can't show all of them atm.

An earlier iteration of the 31/07/2020 patch introduced a restriction where players would receive reduced matchmaking rewards if the battle ended before turn 15. This was reverted, and currently the restrictions are on:
- Matches which end before turn 6 (normal forfeiture cutoff)
- Matches played against the same opponents, if your ELO is below 550
We'll be looking over the reward system to better handle griefing in the near future.

I was assuming there would be rotating from one tier to the other, so that following a year every tier would have the chance to earn one. If that isn't the case, I understand why halving the requirements is necessary, but if you have multiple chances to get these hats, season after season, it's no big deal if the requirements are high.
OU: 0->1->2->3->0
UU: 4->5->6->7->4
NU: 8->9->10->11->8
Doubles: 12->13->14->15->12
Vanities never leave their tier, and 16 items are allocated for PvP rewards currently. Vanities are scheduled for reintroduction after 1 year at the moment.

Not a fan of this imo
I feel the goal should be to keep 'casual' players interested in PvP for as long as possible. It keeps matchmaking alive, and will make it so people normally not interested in PvP find themselves improving & actually enjoying the competitive side.
I have friends who have zero interest in pvp already having 25+ wins. I guarantee they play for 2 weeks, get the vanity, and never play again.
For people desperate for hats, we do have 4 active at a time. It's quite a lot if you want to complete more than 1 tier's reward tree during a season at the moment, and we'd like to encourage people to build for more than one tier.
43 minutes ago, gbwead said:edit: 2 pts per win no matter what is pretty dull and boring imo
I would prefer 1 pt for the first win, 2 pts for 2 wins in a row, 3 pts for 3 wins in a row, 4 pts for 4 wins in a row, etc. Grinding would be more fun that way and there would be more at stake in each duel. Grinding would also be much easier that way, so I'm assuming you would need 2000 pts instead of 1000 pts to get the vanity.
I think we'll consider changing MMRWP after we get metrics for how many people are playing the season's tree to completion. It's too early to tell what appropriate values are at the moment.
45 minutes ago, gbwead said:edit2: I also hope there could be a way when you get enough points to "transform" the 4x25 comp into a 6x31 comp.
Matchmaking rewards are a crutch to help players become more competitive over time. They are not meant to take the role of perfect breeds, and we do not want to give players an upgrade path which is completely devoid of economic interaction with the greater game.

ye it's a placeholder value which got its way into prod, we're halving the requirements for it next update
