Hey, it's another one of these again. No, please don't run away yet. As the title implies, this post is to initiate discussion about the current event system in PokeMMO. My concern (that I've been feeling for a good while) has been that the events in PokeMMO have been far too identical to each other to really be interesting anymore. Another tournament, just with a different shiny prize. Another catch event, just some different specie to catch. Another Scavenger Hunt but apparently we haven't been catching Flying-types yet. People who have been around for a while know that this hasn't been always the case. PokeMMO used to have a plethora what we used to call "gimmick tournaments" with custom rulesets, some of which were great and some that... could have used some more thought. But in both cases, I've come to realize those kinds of events were the ones to keep the game interesting. It utilized this game's uniqueness - the MMO aspect. Having nothing but automated tournaments doesn't really set this game noticeably apart from, let's say "Smogon tournaments". Rather than spectating the games with just username, you have a customizable avatar to watch games with. That's how it feels, really. What I'm suggesting you could do is to revive what we used to call "gimmick tournaments" at least in some form and host these events somewhere in the overworld, in an actual location in the game. If you need ideas, I mean there were all kinds of attempts (STAB-tournaments, monotype-tournaments, trivia-PvP combinations etc) so there were plenty of things that were fun that could be revived. And I wouldn't even care if you tried something completely new, even if it is something silly, just to try out if a concept works. Even unsuccessful attempts of something "weird" would keep this game more interesting. It is clear this shift happened largely due to automated battle system. There is no doubt the successful implementation of both automated tournament system as well as matchmaking improved the quality of this game by a lot. But it also slightly killed the soul of the old PokeMMO, which is what I've come to realize initially kept me in this game to begin with. If this soul could be demonstrated also to new players, I think it could improve the player experience by a lot. I've participated in this kind of discussion briefly in some unofficial conversation channels and a common concern against these kinds of non-automated events is that people don't really read PokeMMO Forums, so automated tournaments are the only way to get a reasonable amount of participation in today's PokeMMO. But I think a way to avoid this is to implement a functional event calendar inside PokeMMO client that lists all the upcoming events of PokeMMO (not just PvP-events) and it directs to a forum post that explains the full ruleset to players and directs them to signup. This way players do not have to active forum readers to take part of these events and they can get the information of events already from in-game client. I do also recognize having custom rulesets have become less implementable because the average playerbase of PokeMMO doesn't speak just English anymore. But these events could be hosted to all kinds of language groups in the game. Even just a couple of custom ruleset tournaments per month would keep this game far more interesting than it is now, in my opinion. Also, I am aware this requires effort from staff members to happen. In order to have these events, there would be staff members to have willingness and time to host all of this and I recognize it isn't small work. But just come up with any event idea you as staff members consider fun and different and I'm sure it will be well received by the playerbase because as I said, I think we really need something new and different to this game. That's all really, thank you for reading. P.S. You don't have to link me "event suggestion thread", I know it exists. This post isn't just about specific event suggestions but about far broader topic - the whole philosophy behind current event system which I think could use some of the aspects from "the old PokeMMO".

I don't recall ever denying it but I have asked what exactly the problem with it is. This was in November 2020

What's the point of having a tiering policy if you guys don't follow it. Zero argument as to why Dugtrio is banworthy in UU, but not OU. Ou is the most played tier. We have 210k games played in OU for 4k games played in UU this month. But hey, the Tier Council Staff has not made up their mind regarding Dugtrio in OU. OU is the most stable tier, the most played tier, the tier on which we have gathered more data and knowledge. You expect us to believe that Dugtrio is banworthy in UU, but you don't know about OU? Excuse me, how incompetent are you trying to be? How fucking convenient that while you guys make up your mind this delays the unpleasant decision of throwing a mon into UBER which would force you to make a nerf. There is absolutely no reason why Dugtrio is banned in UU and NU, but not in OU. You either ban it everywhere or no where. The level of incomptence displayed in taking this decision is truly unprecedented. Keep it up.

wait why is there a shiny mew in the crowd

Pokemmo 20th anniversary dungeons get released, mark my words.

Wow. 10 years and@Squirtle still hasn't evolved

After everything we've been though, from my father abandoning me, to team Magma and Aqua trying to rip the world apart, and all the team members we lost along the way. She's always been there with me. Our backs together we can take on anything.

I was waiting for this post. What is Dugtrio's problem? The pokemon individually is not a big problem, however, when you find a duo good enough for dugtrio to break almost an entire meta then that's when Dugtrio becomes a big problem, the current problem is Dugtrio + PZ OR Yanmega, even if they ban PZ, Yanmega + Dugtrio would still be a problem. When PorygonZ went down, the players who now ask for the ban of PorygonZ or Dugtrio did not have problems because of PorygonZ, why? because the meta was able to adapt, and as a consequence we saw the rise of Gigalith to UU, everything seemed to be going well, yes, Dugtrio was in the level, but he did not have 100 base atk, but the great council of the level decided to return the 20 points of atk base on Dugtrio, as a consequence of that buff there was enough damage for PorygonZ to sweep against teams that had Gigalith-Empoleon as their main brake, now to win tournaments you just need to use PorygonZ-Dugtrio and boom, you won a tournament, OMG what good player. Even if Dugtrio's buff is removed, he will continue to break the meta along with PorygonZ, because people already realized that this duo can kill almost everything, it will not be the solution, simply banning him from UU is the only thing that can be done , but why not ban it from OU? Because it doesn't have a duo with which to destroy the meta or be a great threat, Dugtrio + Togekiss? There's too much rotom for Togekiss to be a huge threat, even if it's not rotom, Weavile destroys both pokemon, and so there are even more brakes that can't be solved with Dugtrio, Dugtrio just won't be a real threat until he meets a duo/strategy strong enough to be a cancer in OU. Yes, Arena Trap's ability is a cancer in all meta and tiers of all pokemon, but in PokeMMO OU for now it doesn't seem to deserve a ban, it used to be a cancer when used to destroy Chansey/Blissey with Screech and Wobbuffett for the Rain to destroy everything, but currently thanks to Teleport this strategy can no longer be carried out. #BanDugtrioFromUU

Why? Seriously, why is Dugtrio considered potentially banworthy in UU, but not OU? Dugtrio does the exact same shit in OU, UU and NU. So why is Dugtrio ALWAYS a problem in lower tiers? Are UU/NU players more stupid than the norm? Are they whining more than the norm? Are they endangered species threathen by the recent Randoms addition and therefore they get special treatement? Dugtrio gets banned in NU, but not in UU and OU. Six months later, Dugtrio gets banned in UU, but not OU. Six months later, Dugtrio gets banned in OU. Six months later, devs invent some kind of new nerf and Dugtrio gets unbanned from OU. Six months later, Dugtrio moves down to UU. Six months later, Dugtrio moves down to NU. Oh devs decide to rebuff Dugtrio in hope to get back in line with the original game mechanics. Six months later, Dugtrio gets banned from NU. And the cycle goes on and on and on. Pardon my french, but this is a fucking joke. It's so dumb. Everyone is wasting their time and resources. Please for once look at the big picture and stop unravelling the progress we have made with this foolish step by step approach. Look at the Tiering Policy and please justify why Dugtrio is ONLY banworthy in UU/NU and not also OU. If it's the same policy for all tiers, please be consistent and open a discussion thread for OU Dugtrio.

SRIF! ?

Hi, Recently there has been a discussion in the OU discussion request thread about how a ban of Wobbuffet to Ubers would be for the betterment. I am under the impression that the entirety of the Tier Council is in agreement with this decision, and I could be wrong about this. Nonetheless, I've been told that there's a "No Ubers" policy. I don't understand the rationale for this at all. There are two things about this that puzzle me: 1) Why do you, the higher ups of the TC, want to have such a policy when there are some mons that are warranted a place in Ubers and have generally been there 2) Why is it that you get to have a say in the competitive matters when its the members of the TC that are more suited for such matters? To me this defeats the entire purpose of having a Tier Council if you're making policies that tie their hands. When / If you release legendaries into the game, there may be ubers among those, so are you going to continue such a policy and worsen the competitive metagame? Playing this game feels like being in a toxic relationship with someone in regards to how you still continue it because it once made you happy and you hope that one day things will change for the better. There have been positive developments, competitive wise, to the game, like adding a forfeit button, showing exact ivs, allowing a mon to get any HP, hordes for ev training etc. And there also have been terrible changes like the tournament prize system, a lack of leaderboard tournaments that incentivized people to ladder etc. My point is that I know you are capable of making this game more enjoyable for the competitive community, and that I just wish that you could move in that direction. I don't know if the above is a consensus view of the devs / staff, but this is extremely disrespectful to the competitive players, which makes me question why I sometimes choose to play this over showdown despite the numerous flaws this has over showdown. I would really appreciate if the competitive community, including the Tier Council, voiced their opinion out loudly, and not just through "likes."
