No bullshit just games is the perfect description for a game that prides itself on not adopting the Pay 2 Win platform. Back in 2012 it was a much different game. The base of the game was a multiplayer emulated experience by no economy or tiers were present. This had some interested and mazing results. Shinies, lucky eggs, and pokemon became the currency and this was all decided collectively by the players. Many old players refer to this time-period as "CatchMMO" as well because breeding was not present. While many disliked this leading to the breeding system being implemented, many players actually enjoyed the exclusivity of certain gift pokemon, and the thrill of catching a pokemon with very good ivs. Although tthis made the battle system much less deep and as such the comp scene was not taken seriosuly for a while. 3v3s were the norm but it still had a very fun atmosphere and with no automated system in place people were required to interact much more. I think PokeMMO can learn from its past and provide similar peramiters to increase the fun a bit and player to player direct interaction. One way it can do so is simply allowing teleportation to the battle arena when they are spectating a battle. Just this small feature alone would bring back alot of the hype lost due to automation. PokeMMO is very long running and i joined in september 2012. It has a bright future ahead for it and i look forward to all the new features it will provide! _ _ /_\ __| |___ / _ \/ _` (_-< /_/ \_\__,_/__/ Page 2/4 Classifieds Team HERB is now recruiting comp players, please mail Jordzi for more info, weekly events, chill peeps, and more!

X: A long time haha, i joined in 2012 and havent left since except for some short breaks here and there X2: Thats awesome, whats kept you here so long? Whats your favorite thing about the game? X: Well ive always loved competitive Pokemon and first got into it back when gen 4 was new. I played shodddy battle and showdown extensively and so i think thats why i stay here. I love battling and i love that my comps/shinies actually mean something here. X2: Yeah thats the thing with the vanilla games, many players like to hunt shinies and breed legit pokes but they quickly find that almost everyone hacks in pokemon. X: Yeah its really unfortunate for those who do grind X2: So onto the next question, if you could change or add 1 thing to the game what would it be? X: Well im known for my suggestions but this one is quite simple. I think they should add more "pay-to-save-time" type features. Stuff like one-time pokerus pills, exp all, drugs that fill all evs, stuff like that. With more donations the devs will be able to work harder and the players dont feel like they are missing anything other than time when buying the items so i think its fair for everyone. X2: Thats great well were getting towards the end of this interview, any closing words you'd like to share with our subscribers? X: Just keep playing dont quit after the storyline lol, theres always gonna be new stuff to breed and new comps to play, donate more as well, server space isnt free so consider donating if you can here and there.

Bearminator Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Our trade corner subforum is made for transactions with in game assets (like pokemon and items/cash for pokemon and items/cash)) which this topic is not about. That's why I will move it to our creative media. Link to comment

Munya Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Whenever you visit a newstand or paper dispenser thing or w/e, the front page is usually displayed pretty clearly to read to get an idea of what to expect, will you be doing this or give a sample of what people can expect when they get a subscription?

During the 40 member fundrasier I will consider making a new, fake issue to provide as an example but seeing as alot of work goes into making a single weekly issue it might take a lil bit and was considered prior.

Since i cant click out of a quote on the forums anymore ill just type it here. If you really want to get people on board with this suggestion you shouldnt immediately expect people to pay for something that is relatively unknown. I'd recommend starting it up for free, or better yet, just keeping it free Edited April 21, 2018 by FuzzyRegirock Link to comment

We would like you to change "no refunds" rule. For now, I cant see reason why anyone would send money. There is no sample of what players will get and no refunds rule is literally making paying for promises, without any proof or example of your work. While we might let this thread to stay, we wont accept limiting our players or putting them in possible problem with players being unable to cancel service they are not happy to have. Thats being said, please make changes into your rules, allowing Both cancellations and refunds. Link to comment
