Actually, I know NOW why the game is so trash.
It's because the devs have fucked up the AI, and made it near-impossible to defeat gym leaders, regular trrainers, and champions, they all rely on hyper potions, switching out pokemons, whilst having most attacks that will literally obliterate my team of pokemons.
So yeah there ya have it, this game is impossible to progress especially when this game is suppose to cater to kids, and cater to the easiest difficulty, I get that you guys wanna make it challenging, but even the OG games made it challenging and rewarding when you DID win, however, in this MMO, the AI just uses everything against you and you can't come back from that, we're forced to buy revives, hyper potions, and waste all our money, and I guess that's a good strategy to get a game going, if players grind money, then more players on the playerbase right?
Like I said, the devs screwed this game over when they fucked around with the AI, what a shame, I'm going back to the other pokemon onlines, cause they are way better than PokeMMO which only caters to being difficult and frustrating.
