Except I don't have a chomp already top kek. This game is more like a battle simulator than it is an mmo, the mmo features are few and far between and literally based around wasting time. I emplore you to read my entire post bro .. I want it to actually be a mmo not just a lame ass grind with no reward than hurr Durr more battle simulator lol. Don't tell me to quit because I don't agree like everyone else, it's not cool bro, and it's very toxic. I'm literally offering tons of advice as a game dev myself, I'm not just complaining, I'm offering options and solutions. Something I see nobody else doing btw. Y'all seem very complacent with fake content

Ooo boy can't wait for my drip feed of fake content! Seriously guys, what the fuck... You claim you want to balance the game for nubs but here you go locking gameplay mechanics behind a bunch of bullshit that will likely be too hard for casuals to even consider attempting. Making HAs hard to get is toxic as fuck. You are fucking over every single long term player in this game and making it hard to even play the 5th gen battle simulator. You guys seem to fail to realize, after all the bullshit, after I rebreed everything, I'm still just gonna be playing the 5th gen battle simulator. The dungeons being like a fleeting deviation, only lasting maybe an hour before I never have to return again bar legendaries. You guys seem to literally disregard your community left and right. Sacrificing the players base for the ""economy"", well guess what, economy aint shit with no playerbase either. Elvis presly said some very relevant shit, " Always listen to your fans" they are the reason you guys have a project to work on, if you notice you've pissed off everyone with some rediculous update, you should try and fix it not just basically give old members the middle finger pandering to a "new" fanbase that's just going to pay the storyline and then quit after anyway. Here's an idea: instead of focusing on taking vanilla Pokemon mechanics and mmo-ifying them. You should take mmo mechanics and poke-fying them. Grinding for hours for an ability is the opposite of fun, it's lifeless, fucking boring, and like I said before, fleeting. When you start brainstorming new ideas you should ask yourself 1 question: is this fun? You're making a fucking game for the kiddos. It's gotta be fun. I swear to god this game is a missed opportunity. We have the dankest market in any Pokemon game (RuneScape Grand exchange) but no pvp staking?? No player owned housing in cities??? No even attempt or consideration towards open wilderness pvp one day... No attempt or consideration towards open world mechanics, mining for resources, player classes and levels. With features like those you don't even need drip feed updates, they are so fun as it is you can play like that forever, maybe add a new class here and there etc. Nobody gives a fuck about the concept of hidden abilities, when gen 5 was new we all thought it was fucking stupid they were locked behind the dream world and just gened them anyway. Nintendo even undid all that and made them very easy to get in the friend Safari. Learn from their mistakes. Listen to the players who stay for long periods of time, because they see some sort of potential nobody else sees. And please PLEASE consider adding mmo features instead of time wasting features.

no matter what you pay its probably gonna be more than the in game leveling feature (daycare) just lvl your mons to like lvl 75 and then place in daycare the the final 25 levels while you lvl other shit, you rly cant beat 1k a lvl lol

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!

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: Awesome, really solid stuff, thank you for the interview today! X: No problem! X2: Cya online!

nope not extra since youre not advertising any services, etc xD

lol you seem to be forgetting that im also creating jobs and an advertising network from within the game, i need to have resources to pay any writers/mailmen i decide to offer as well as whatever giveaways and comps i want to do through the newspaper. 10k a week is really cheap and to unsubscribe they simply just dont pay for the next month kek if i allowed people to quit then i would potentially have no money to those i wish to hie and almost all the money i will be actually making will be used for giveaways etc

No refunds has been changed only during the fundraiser period. Im writing a mock issue currently. after the fundraiser there will never be refunds offered.

no the old issues will not be posted as to add exclusivity to the service as it exists within PokeMMO itself. 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.

4. +1, -1, yes, no, and anything similar are not acceptable posts. Shouldnt mods have to follow the rules too? No matter how memey and whack the post is, hell it could straight up call your game a [piece of shit. Discussion is discussion and this is a discussion board ffs

I suggest we only give out 6x0 shitmon shinies for prizes * doesnt hurt economy cause untradeable * just as viable as current rewards
