It's also useful when you're simultaneously ev'ing a bunch of low-level pokemon, because with the current design you get spammed by whether each low-level pokemon should learn its level-up move at once.

I'll add a bit of text here since otherwise staff might just delete the post entirely as "it does not contribute anything to the thread."This change, along with plenty of others, being suggested is one that will improve the game, and the only downside is more moderation on behalf of the staff. As for how a change in the forums can improve the game, well interacting on forums can lead to more activity ingame and vice versa, like how when you did well in an official, your teammates and friends would congratulate you publicly on the forums, it could also lead to rivalry (which can be friendly) between teams that would be settled in Team Tournaments.
I understand that the trajectory that this game has been taking is towards automation and less staff intervention, but that shouldn't come at the expense of killing some of the enjoyable aspects of the game. Another example of this is how non-automated officials are more enjoyable than automated ones.
Good luck in this fight, Kay.

Would be interested in hearing opinions from other actual TC members regarding this issue.
I would assume that most TC members are on board with banning kings rock and perhaps cursed body. Nonetheless, even if I am wrong, the decisions regarding nerfing abilities / removing items would come under the devs' purview, so I don't think the TC can do anything.
Wasn't sure if you were trying to gather the TC members' thoughts or trying to engage in a discussion with them so that these items/mechanics get removed.

Kinda disagree, it doesnt take that long to make money on this game to fund a comp team. honestly if the rewards were better i think it would pull more people in.
Can you please share your money-making methods, the duration of it, and the IVs of the mons in your comp team?

Let me ask you something. Let's say you are tired of this game and the people from this community. One day, someone dm you on discord and, instead of replying as yourself, you present yourself as the griefing brother of the person that was being contacted. Do you really consider that as scamming people?
Okay let's change the wording of it. When one of your best friends DMs you and present yourself as the griefing brother of her friend, you are intentionally causing some sort of emotional distress onto one of your best friends, which to me is even shittier than scamming someone. Most people who are tired of this game and the people, just quit the game rather than coming back. You also have to ask what is the cause behind him/her being disliked by others in the community, that is, is it your own actions that have caused other members of the community to dislike you? In his/her case, I was on good terms with him/her prior to quitting, and he/she just made things worse by quitting since I have switched sides.
Her actions with respect to the above were not scamming, but in fact was worse than scamming. The next para explains what constitutes as a scam.8 minutes ago, gbwead said:I don't recall badbaar spreading that rumor, opening memorial threads and organizing tournaments in his memory. He wanted to get rid of Roxxas as a character to start fresh on an alt. People do that all the time in this game and on internet. Iirc,
The person he/she DM'd about passing away (Cali) was the very person who went about creating a tournament and informing the community about Roxass' passing away, and then Cali asked for donations for the tour. At that point he/she could have just notified Cali that there wasn't a real purpose for the tour since the person it was meant to be a tribute to was not actually dead. But they didn't go ahead and do that because they'd rather further the lie / protect their image rather than prevent the community from being screwed over. It also continued to be a scam when in discord PMs around last World Cup Xigbar had said he/she would give me a black reaper hood but ended up not doing so.
Quitting to come back under a new name is sort of fine as long as you are not harming anyone in the promise (scamming others of donations or signing up twice for an event like PSL).
12 minutes ago, gbwead said:Iirc, predakiller did the exact same thing. He was manager in psl 10 and then a rumor came out that he had passed away. When his account became active again, people were upset and that's pretty much it. Why when doing the exact same thing, Predakiller gets away with people being slightly upset and Badbaaar gets lynched on the forum non stop? I am not defending what he did because it's obviously wrong and I do not know why he did what he did, but not everything that is wrong has to become this huge deal.
1) I didn't know about the situation with Predakiller, and given that I didn't know about it, I would like to assume that it wasn't publicized as much as Roxass' death, but I could be wrong here.
2) Predakiller doesn't go around acting like he is reformed unlike Roxass who just puts on a fake act everytime he/she posts. I am sure if Preda applied for a small council position he'd face backlash.
3) As far as I am concerned, Predakiller has not harmed me at all by him faking his death, whereas Roxass robbed me of a black reaper hood and others of other things. I wanted to feed my kids by selling it off, but they'll prolly starve for now.20 minutes ago, gbwead said:For what it is worth, I hardly asked anything from the small council in PSL 12, so it's not like they will be able to ruin the event in PSL 14. Yet, without me asking for anything, Babaar went out of his way to get Kyu to give OT Kyu comps for the grand prize. That doesn't absolve Badbaar of anything, but it's absurd imo to think Badbaar will 100% "scam" again (as if I would even let him do that) or that he can't do good for the community at all because of his past.
Except I really doubt that Xigbar's actions were the actions of a person who wanted to genuinely help the community rather than riding on it as a laurel of how they helped the community get OT Kyu Comps (WOW what a prize)!
Forewarned is forearmed, so I am glad that you won't give him/her an opportunity to scam us again, but it's just bad looks to have this person on a council. -

You can buy it in GTL I think oooorrrr maybe you cannot and that's why You are here asking for that in the wrong threat. Hopefully you can buy one. Good luck
It's not about being unable to buy one, I definitely can. It's about me losing something due to the lies you spread about yourself to garner fake sympathy from the community instead of addressing your own mental health issues or insecurity. Admittedly your act did work as people as people, such as myself, donated a lot for the tour that was created as a tribute to you. I basically gave away by Black Reaper Hood as a result of you you deciding to mislead the community, and had you not mislead the community, I would be in possession of it right now. I gave it away to your tour because I thought you were a good person and the circumstances surrounding your absence from the community made me sympathetic, but of course I'm the idiot for trying to be a good community member back then.
I hope you understand that this is about principles rather than my ingame financial status.

Good luck and have some guts xD
It clearly is a scam to a reasonable person, maybe not in PokeMMO's definition, in which case I won't be able to get it. I don't know what exactly you want me to be gutsy about.
Given everyone's response to your application for a position on the small council, I get a good idea of everyone feels about you. I can't wait to find out what your new alt will be and the backstory behind why the account Xigbar is no longer active.
@gbweadI don't know how someone who has scammed the community in the past should even be considered in any decision-making aspect of a community-hosted event because clearly this person has no remorse about his/her previous actions.

Did you check reaper prices recently?
I checked the StockMarketMMO thread which was updated last week, and it was 45.600.000.

@Lvkee In your OP, please tag the devs or whichever genius was behind dropping Kings Rock so that they are notified of this thread and as a result can't pretend that this thread doesn't exist.
I've mostly played OU ever since stuff like Garchomp and Rotom were implemented, and since the only tier I play is garbage right now because of how it is infested with RNG strategies where players can just freely cast their fishing rod and snag any sort of luck -> flinch, cursed body activation, sand veil evasion - I have zero desire to play this game.
I noticed some positive changes made in the competitive side like changing definition of certain terms and banning P2 and Lucario (if I'm right), which I really commend, but please save OU now.

There is some Pokemons that can't be given as prize. There is some rules concerning the prizes given that needs to be respected by the staff, and Seasonal can't be an exeption.
Could you share with us what those rules are or are they strictly for staff's knowledge only?
2 minutes ago, MPDH said:Also, Dragonite, Salamence, and Breloom are already ditributed in regular tournaments, like Breloom which was the prize of a tournament the 25th September, so 2 weeks ago.
Yes it is true that those shinies were distributed in regular tournaments, but I offered them as suggestions to replace Ferro and Hydreigon because I think they are better / more desired than Ferro or Hydreigon. I am also sure that Ferro and Hydreigon were distributed as prizes for previous tournaments as well, so maybe the reason for not offering mostly comes down to the rules that you're abiding by.

Volcarona, Dnite, Salamence and Breloom could be considered better prizes than Ttar tho.
Yeah but I felt that since there was a larvitar poster in the OP, that the TTar prize was connected to the theme of the tour, so that's why I didn't suggest removing TTar from the list of prizes.
EDIT: Oh wait I misunderstood you, and thankfully the first place winner still has their pick of the shiny. I think the fact that the winner has the option to pick which shiny they want, it is okay if the other two shinies are possibly better than TTar.

Halloween is coming, play with moderation. Someone can think for itself if its worth playing or not.
Halloween is not PvP and this was a PvP related suggestion. For someone who wants others to think for themselves, you really should've practiced that before making an irrelevant post because I was referring to the PvP content of the game.

The notice of a pokemon holding the hax item was a dumb way to try to maintain the status quo. It should be painfully obvious that the devs have zero clue about PvP because in their eyes the entire effectiveness of the hax items was based on the surprise element, when that was just one small portion of the issue. The larger part of the issue is that the hax item allows the holder to overcome any skill displayed by their opponent because of how the odds to luck their opponent are extremely stacked on their side.
The devs could've nerfed the flinch rate of the item to a much lower amount such that using Kings Rock on Cloyster was a worse option than using something like Focus Sash, but they chose to not go that route either. There have been at least 3-4 threads calling out for these items to get banned/removed from PvP and explaining why these items are bad for PvP, but you can tell that the devs hardly read these threads or understood where the playerbase was coming from because their method of nerfing the items didn't resolve the issue.
I think the best solution is to stop playing this game. I can't imagine how frustrating it is to reach the semis or finals of a tour, only to then lose because of this item. If you stop playing this game, you'll realize how much better your mental health will be. I don't know what your reason for continuing to playing this game is, but if your reason aligns with the principle of sunk-cost fallacy, then trust me when I say to not give this game anymore of your time or money because you're likely to not see any returns. This game struggles to retain its comp playerbase because the devs just don't care enough about them.

What if my posts get censored because a member of TC disagrees with me and asks staff to remove them? Rip my support.
I would answer this question in a manner similar to how Rendi responded to Xatu by mailing an escape rope to him ingame, but I don't want to get banned xD

Oh, so not much has changed then lol.
Dugtrio being around reminds me of that spongebob meme of "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?"
