I don't think anyone is being particularly toxic or is glazing the devs. I just think that old players have been here long enough to understand better the thinking process of the devs and how they want to balance the game. If you've been here long enough you've probably seen your share of complaints on forums, heck we all probably did complaint at some point in time, whether we were right or not. The point is, and I think what Suigins here is trying to say is after all these years the game is still doing fine player-wise, at least it certainly has gotten bigger since I started playing almost 9 years ago and most likely the same for that old fart. Sometimes, the devs listened to our complaints sometimes they didn't, sometimes we were right sometimes we weren't. Ultimately, they have the final word, and so far there has never been a massive exodius as a result of their decisions. Now I'm not a huge fan of the Darkrai orb myself but I also understand where it's coming from. Releasing legendaries with uber-like qualities pose threats to the balance of the game. I don't believe the slow release of HA or few gen 9 mechanic update has disrupted the balance of the game permanently. Obviously some decisions are questionable (Sharpness Gallade) and we can debate whether or not the priority in which HA were release was done poorly but arguably the slow release of new stuff allowed for the game to adapt without just breaking altogether. The devs were most likely never gonna give you Darkrai at all before they came up with the temporary orb feature. They came up with a feature that would allow to have access to it without breaking their game too much

the reference elude me care to explain? the safari guard outfit looks fresh tho

Here's mine, I'm a harsh critique and I think you'll notice a pattern in my judging in regards to overused locations/vanities/themes/obvious rich flex. I tend to deduce "points" in my personal ranking for this, also overly edgy dark character aesthetic is bottom tier in my opinion. I tend give lots of credits to entries in which participants thought outside of the box, originality, have proper use of ingame assets and overall good combination for their theme or things they are referencing. Players cosplaying as their Pokémon generally earns a mid-tier as its an over abundant theme but on some occasion pulled off very well. Couldn't rank Doctor's entry cause I'm missing the reference and ranking to a lower tier as a result wouldn't really be fair, the others I feel to biased. It doesn't matter what others think though, it's up to the judges to decide ultimately

While we wait for the results I made a tier list for all the entries so feel free to use it to rank your favorite entries. Feel free to share your result (or not) but a reminder that personal taste is subjective and that you won't necessary agree with one's ranking, please keep it civilised. You can use the following link to make your tier list : https://tiermaker.com/create/pokemmo-screenshot-contest-tier-list-17674286 I apologise if the cropping of certain entries don't do justice to your entry, you should follow along with the main post here: If I missed an entry please let me know

I don't think Uber is really that easy to balance, because after all it's not really meant to be. It's just a place where we put the most broken and overcentralizing pokemon away from OU in order to make it more balanced and diverse. It's primarily a banlist before a tier and I think that's been the stance of the devs for a while now and is not something they are likely to entertain anytime soon. I also think that at this time, there are only so few ubers to make it worthwhile, and it's mainly due to the fact that the devs have been somewhat careful in regards to what legendary pokemons or hidden abilities are being released and avoiding complex bans/ban to ubers by adding possible checks to pokemon with uber-like qualities. So there's that, but there's also the fact that the game has a lot of PVE content which have their set difficulty bound to what we as players have access to and a whole economy which it relies on. If they're broken in PVP they are most certainly broken for PVE as well yada-yada. You would end up with a broken and unhealthy in-game economy which isn't something you want for an mmo. Now they could also ban them from PVE as well, but now you wouldn't be able to use them in both PVP and PVE. So what's the point of releasing them in the first place if you can't use them at all in most of the content available? IMO that's poor game design. Or they could change their current stance and allow for an Uber tier to exist and release a bunch of broken stuff while banning them from PVE but imo I doubt it's worth the hassle to nerf and try to balance what is essentially a banlist. I might be wrong who knows

I'd like to speak to the manager please

You can only summon Darkrai for an hour every week. Every time you do Darkrai's stats and summon time improve and the cooldown reduces. You can reset the cooldown using the Mystic Watch which is consumed upon use

1 hour a week? I've never had a better deal since the split custody arrangement of my child with my ex-wife

One could say... it would have given you.. NIGHTMARES 🤡

Raids are by far my favorite feature, they are all challenging in their own ways and I welcome the challenge. It's fun to analyse and come up with new strategies every time a new raid drops. I don't think they're unfair although sometimes the rng can be infuriating and the tweak of certain moves/abilities can be confusing. Ultimately it's 4 players against a boss pokemon, it's got to be balanced in a way so you just don't steamroll it, and I also don't think they're made to be cleared on your first attempt. If a strategy fails, reconsider your approach with the data you managed to gather and spectate what others do. Linking up with friends helps a lot as you get to decide what you are all going to bring for the raid.
