Competitive Battling is starting to become big here on PokeMMO, but, we still do not have an official ranking system. I'm here to suggest a complete ranking system which will be used for all players and maybe even in the future, teams. To implement this ranking system, I would need complete compliance with the staff in using this ranking system, as it involves the forums heavily. The good thing is that no work has to be done on the server itself, allowing for the coders to work on more important aspects of the game itself. So, I introduce to you.... "The PokeMMO Trainer's League" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Registration: To begin, all trainers who wish to battle competitively must be registered on the forums. This will allow the tracking of users' wins and losses much more efficiently. All trainers will begin in "F-Class". This is the lowest class in the ranking system seen here: There are two different ways to increase your ranking within the "Basic Classes", these are seen here: Win 3 consecutive battles against trainers of same class Win 1 battle against a higher ranked trainer To organize a ranked battle, trainer must use the following method(s): Posting a Notice on the "Competitive Alley" Sub-forum that you are looking for challengers Replying to another trainers posting Also, trainers who lose 3 consecutive battles will also rank down in class if they're higher than F-Class. All battles must be reported to the "Competitive Alley" sub-forum, for them to count as a victory for the trainer to Rank up. Also Video Recording or taking pictures of your battle is highly recommended so that any disputes or complaints can be argued with evidence. The implementation of video recordings and pictures also allows new trainers to see what battling in the league is like! Player's can only reach "C-class" based on wins alone. To be entered into the advanced classes of B, A, and Special-A, you must have participated in a total of 50 battles while you are currently in C-class. To advance from B>A>Special-A, players will have to use the following methods: Win five (5) consecutive battles against trainers of same class Win ten (10) consecutive battles against trainers of the class immediately below you Defeat a trainer who is ranked higher than you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "PokeMMO Player's League Championship" There is a reason why trainers aspire to become at least "B-Class". Those who are, and ranked higher, are eligible to enter in the biggest tournament of the year, with Pokemon, and potentially money up for grabs. The tournament would be open to any and all who are "B-Class" and above. There will be rules/guidelines, but those would be detailed at a later time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having an official ranking system would be beneficial for the game, and the players as a whole. It would allow tournaments to run efficiently and smoothly, while creating a pro-active competitive scene with set-goals in mind. Any questions? Post here.

You should be allowed to temporarily borrow an individuals pokemon in different intervals such as 1 battle or maybe even 5 battles. Or until the trainer wants the pokemon back. Time limits could work also. Once the time is up the pokemon could be transported back into the party if there is needed space if not it can be sent to the available pokemon box. Just thought it would be a nice idea.

Introduction The first game I ever remember getting was Pokemon Yellow for the original Gameboy™. If memory serves, it even came with the legendary yellow version of that awesome handheld console. Clearly, times have moved on, and over time, I became rusty and lost my passion for this amazing series. Upon starting PokeMMO, I had no idea what to do in Pallet Town, even though I must have done the same thing a hundred times before on my little old Gameboy™. So, this guide is dedicated to those of us who havn't played in a while, or might even be completely new to the series, and want to begin playing as quickly and painlessly as possible. Guide We begin in our hero's bedroom in Pallet Town. I assume you've chosen the name Ziggy Stardust for your character. If you havn't, go back and start again. How could your first thought be anything other than Ziggy Stardust? Now that your hero is correctly named, proceed directly out of Pallet Town. Ignore the fact that you're told Oak is waiting next door. He will only present himself to you when you attempt to leave the Town. He will drag you back to his lab, where he will proceed to perform hideous experiments upon you. Just kidding, he gives you your very own Pokemon, from a selection of three. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charizard. I suggest selecting Charizard, because who wants to have SOUPERDOOPER VINE POWERS or WATERY POWERS. All the effectiveness of taking a whizz on your opponent, when you could be rocking a mother****ing DRAGON up in this place. Now, your rival will throw a tantrum when you attempt to leave and fight you. Clearly, you should whoop his ass and make him cry like a hussy. Upon doing so, he'll throw a uguufit. From here, simply head on out of town and go level up that Pokemon of yours! Once you've had fun whaling on rats and chickens, head up to the Viridian City, and visit the Pokecenter to heal up your likely bruised and battered Pokemon, before moving on to the Pokemart. Here, you'll enter a scripted sequence and acquire a package for Oak. Immediately take it back to Oak, and you'll recieve a Pokedex and five free Pokeballs! Hooray for free stuph! Your rival will throw another fit of angst and run home to get a map. Simply leave the lab, go to the building North of the lab and collect a map from the girl in the building. Congratulations! You've started playing Pokemon! Enjoy your new non-existant life style! Have fun! -Kingsley

Perhaps there should be a place of recorded tournaments and within that place is a hallway displaying statues (or trophy's) of the victors. Bring a little history to land of pokemmo eh? Perhaps a breakdown of how the making of the game started and within it is the credits of the people of brought forward the game to the players.

So not sure you could always get a reward whether you have every pokemon in your pokedex but how about getting rewarded for doing so? Maybe another MasterBall? Shoot maybe a rare candy? A voucher to get cheaper items at the store, i dunno. Just a suggestion. Also if you do add a pokedex from the other gen's perhaps have a reward for finding every pokemon across all three gens? Shoooooooot do whatchu want<3

WIlderness like idea : I think that in the end state of this project you should implement a PvP area. I know that you already can PVP in almost any location but what I am suggesting is that in this area you cannot choose whether or not to fight but just get sent into a fight. In this area you could also have it so that the winning trainer gets XP and maybe a money reward from the other trainer. To keep it from being obnoxious with a 6v6 team you could make an entrance count of maybe 1 or three pokemon per player. Battle Frontier/ Competition like area : In this area you could make it similar to how the battle frontier went where you battle trainer to advance to the next one. If enough people went to it you could have a similar situation but it could be player vs player. It really isn't a battle frontier more like a pokemon stadium or pokemon online feel expect you have pokemon you trained and your trainer can get a prize for winning the competition. This idea could be done with or without XP. This could give the game an extra layer of fun. I probably left a lot of things out and I'm sure the ideas I've given could be improved on but I think either of these ideas would be smart moves.

This being an MMO and all it should have some cool multiplayer features, which is why I suggest the Pokemon League Doubles competition, it could be like the regular story driven pokemon league except 2 on 2 battles. 2 players vs 2 AI - all level 100 pokemon The teams I was thinking of are: Battle 1: Misty and Lorelei Starmie (Misty) Golduck (Misty) Kingdra (Misty) Dewgong (Lorelei) Jynx (Lorelei) Lapras (Lorelei) Battle 2: Brock and Bruno Golem (Brock) Onix (Brock) Crobat (Brock) Steelix (Bruno) Hitmonlee (Bruno) Machamp (Bruno) Battle 3: Sabrina and Agatha Hypno (Sabrina) Venomoth (Sabrina) Alakazam (Sabrina) Dusclops (Agatha) Arbok (Agatha) Gengar (Agatha) Battle 4: Giovanni and Lance Dugtrio (Giovanni) Nidoking (Giovanni) Rhydon (Giovanni) Gyarados (Lance) Aerodactyl (Lance) Dragonite (Lance) Battle 5 and Doubles Championship: Blue (Rival) and Red (Male MC) Pidgeot (Blue) Exeggcutor (Blue) Charizard/Blastoise/Venusaur (Blue) (player 1 determined) Pikachu (Red) Lapras (Red) Charizard/Blastoise/Venusaur (Red) (player 2 determined) Now I know it is a long ways away until the pokemon league is complete and reachable, but in the future I think this could be a really cool addition to the game, tell me what you think.
