  1. bro you expect me to write everything in a perfect unbiased way. these ideas are coming straight from the dome brah, its biased AF home boy. It's just a vision that I have to greatly benefit the game, i dont see anybody else doing that. My suggestions dont have to be unbiased or perfect and its hilarious you break down every word i said to reveal my """"bias"""" all of my counter points simply delve deeper into the ideas, or my feelings on a suject. When you respond to me, youre responding to ME, the fact you think it should be any other way is hilarious and shows how unused you are to people ACTUALLY SHARING THEIR OPINIONS ON A MESSAGE BOARD
  2. See: Above Post Stating: I'm still waiting for responses on like 95% of my counterpoints
  3. Still waiting for responses on like 95% of my counterpoints. If they want to quit the discussion then thats their problem. I swear you guys dont even want to discuss anything
  4. Probably because i brought up like 20 fair points and people are trying the best they can to ignore them
  5. Your misinterpreting my responses to people. You would rather me not even respond my feelings about others opinions. Thats kind of the point of a discussion. The only times ive ever lashed out was when others had attacked me first. You expect me to be attacked from like 20 sides, including you, who gets to flame and belittle other members all the time with no recourse, while being a perfect saint and not let even %1 of the flaming get to me.
  6. I said there was room, thats all i said. I meant it more as a long term thing if the population permitted it. To add more PvP content way down the line. Like if gen 5 never came out and ppl really played every tier extensively and they wanted something extra.
  7. Surely they can use compartmentalized knowledge then, while only providing the volunteers what they need on a need-to-know basis. This is how the military operates to prevent leaks etc. You never know the whole picture, only what you are to work on at that time.
  8. Hello mister "cant even say gl hf" i hope you are havin a good day. If you read my post i said to hire volunteers as well, and those dont even cost anything. I'm sure if the devs expressed interest in getting shit done better then people would appear with love in their hearts for the game and dev team willing to help produce new content. Lets also not forget that if all this time wasnt wasted on fake content then more time/all time could be dedicated to making actually fun, rewarding. MMO-based content. This post was made out of love for this game. And to spark some actual discussion on... wait for it.... discussion boards. I am sorry you are so opposed to actually using the boards for what they are intended for and would rather post memes and attempt to bully me but i regret to inform you that your actions have accomplished nothing.
  9. Yeah probably because your toxicity leads others to not even want to try to share there opinions with you. No, it doesnt. RUs existence depended entirely on the players vested interest in other tiers than OU. As it is now, post-update, UU NU and LC are not even played AT ALL. So of course they wouldnt add a fifth tier. RUs existence would be a way to add more PvP content to the limited mon-pool in gen 3 and thats the only point i was trying to make. Now of course, with the game dying and all, this is impossible.
  10. Sure and i get the philosophy behind not over-saturating the tiers but surely you cant predict the future right? RU could have been a thing if more bans took place in the gen 3 meta and if the interest was there. As of right now i cant even queue for an OU match sometimes for hours at a time.... So pretty much theres only 1 tier now.....
  11. The truth hurts. But its ok right? Just unban everything no matter what and see volcarona and ferrothorn on every team. Sounds "fun" to me
  12. Purely visual non-gameplay related change Both are great. And of course some of what they did is in the correct drection, hpwever most of the updates on involve what was mentioned in the OP and ultimately change nothing. Automated tournaments are great and all, but that not to say we were lacking in being able to duel before that point LOL. Rehashed and very very shallow unfun events, hardly even mentionable, more mentionable is the devs decision to skip halloween last year pissing off all those who enjoyed the 2 previous years. I joined the forums like 9/16/2012. Lets not lets this be an ego battle of ""hurr im older !!1!"" thats completely irrelevant and you never once see me using my seniority in this manner.
  13. This game uses its ""open alpha"" moniker to its advantage. The idea is this: Keep the game open alpha and never fully complete it. This became very apparent that when they devs reached like 95% completion of gen 3 (minus legends and some other features) they rushed to add gen 5 and a myriad of new mons, items, etc to the formula. This makes it practically impossible for them to truly ""complete"" the game. With interest already being stated that gen 6/7 will follow when the technology allows. Now to the topic of this thread: This is fake content. It doesnt matter how many new mons you add. This ONLY affects PvP and not even in a way thats noticeable or healthy to the overall progress of the game. Just because i can breed a new mon and use it in battle, adds absolutely nothing to gameplay. Its the same rehashed thing over and over, and if the mon was simply unavailable then another mon of similar stats and typing can take its place. Before the update the meta was still progressing and with chansey receiving a ban after years. With other tiers recieving many bans as well, we can assume this could open room for a fourth tier, RU. However in the new meta this is simply impossible because of the abundance of mons and lack of interest in tiers outside of OU anyway (anymore). Pretty much at the end of the day im still just doing PvP over and over again, the new mons are barely even relevant because im still just battling with them departing not even the slightest bit from what im used to. This philosophy of only adding mons as the sole content patches is ultimately what makes this game bland, boring, and gives players the sense that devs do not care about them. The devs have clearly just chosen a route to where they can produce ""content"" at a steady rate, with minimal effort, while forgetting to implement any sort of ""true"" mmo features. We can easily assume this new ""content"" will take a year or more to complete with the HAs being hidden behind arbitrary restrictions and the legends behind similar restrictions, both to increse ""the grind"" apparently. Even after weve hunted all these mons it changes nothing. Its still just PvP and all ""the grind"" to get these ""new"" mons is completely pointless and literally designed to waste our time, and not even in a fun way. There are many MANY solutions to solving these issues, it just involves adding actually ""new"" and ""fun"" content. New ways to play. I have suggested many new gameplay features that would do nothing but benefit this game only to be ultimately ignored by the devs. Some examples include; Open Wildnerness PvP, PvP staking, Open World elements, Owning real estate in cities, Player Classes/levels, etc. Here the true solution: Hire new Devs. As many as you can afford/acquire via volunteers. This will help you release content patches faster while having multiple sources of input instead of having just 1/2 (ultimately biased) opinions running the show. Listen to the community: If the entire community hates the update you did, you should assume you fucked up, and do things to fix it/find a middle ground. Fire toxic Staff, in any form: If one of the devs is exerting a bias over the others, they gotta go. There is no room for dictators here and we should strive to have all the devs being treated equally instead of one ""boss"" bossing around others. Everyone should pitch in equally. And this also goes for the TC and forum toxicity, if you see a member with any sort of connection to the staff, treating others poorly, bullying and harassing other players for their opinions (lets not forget thats the point of forums) they should be dealt with swiftly and like any other player. Having a toxic person represent your staff will do nothing but put a bad taste in the mouth of players, giving them yet another reason to want nothing to do with your game. With the game ultimately only being able to survive for so long, now its the turning point. You either continue on this path of fake content and self destruction or you can add actually fun gameplay features, making headlines across the world and ultimately leading to a level of the player base like we saw in 2012. The choice is yours.
  14. it seemed like it was nowhere to be found haha

    Im not angry or rude at all, the person i told to fuck off was intentionally trying to derail the thread. And the depth of my suggestion shouldnt decide whether or not we discuss and further develop the suggestion.
  16. o7 best of luck on your journies to other, hopefully better, games
  17. hes not complaining about every single ""feature"" if you can even call it that. Hes complaining about 1 thing, and many many people are getting rekt by this change. He has the right to complain as much as he wants, it just shows to the devs how much there whack decisions affect long term players.
  18. Except complaining DOES do things. My state just made cannabis legal, that shit didnt just happen on its own lmao!
  19. lol he clearly had a love for this game guys. He cared enough to voice his opinion on the forums because he felt wronged in some way, this is a basic human reaction and you guys like to pretend like youd act any differently if you were in his situation.

    Pretty realistic. Its an MMO and nobody even considered putting in player ran gyms or classes.... levels for doing stuff over time? I even broke down each idea and explained how they worked in good enough detail. Trust me, if the game wasnt in need of grandiose suggestions i wouldnt produce them. What we have now is hardly different from a battle simulator with little to no rewarding, fun. endgame content. Its needs whacky shit like this to make it more fun, while still having PvP pokemon battles at its core.
  21. Yeah but that idea doesnt take a VANILLA MECHANIC and replace it with a NON-VANILLA MECHANIC. Its ok to add new shit and the lack of new shit is what makes this game dull and NOT FUN.

    No, its not. I changed it completely. You have not added anything to the suggestion or even commented on the content mentioned in the OP so please just stop.
  23. Heres why the update is bad: * it removes 2 extremely solid money making methods * it moves away from vanilla mechanics Breeding a hidden power poke can be considered the peak of breeding in a skill based way. Luckily the breeding mechanics here make it much easier to breed the mon and hardly relies on luck unless the player decides so. Even so, only a few pokemon even utilize hidden power effectively and also have the proper basestats/typing to support it. This makes the move a niche. Only top level players will want to or be able to use hp properly. These players are already willing to drop the bills necessary to get a good mon. And this also counts as an investment, so if they grow tired of said dank comp, they can just flip it for a similar possibly even higher value. Now for the other money making method. Ditto farming. If there was a backbone to the GTL i would say its dittos. They were needed by genderless and non genderless alike. Because of the nature of breeding genderless mons players were greatly incentivized to hunt them. But hunting them wasnt even necessarily cheap, each ditto requiring an ultra ball. This led to a missive flood of dittos on the GTL, benefiting everyone. For new players they could easily make a genderless comp, natured, only a few stats from perfect in everystat and perfect in 2. For rich players they could buy and trade rare dittos and genderless breeds as the highest form of an investment in this game. By taking away these money making methods it takes away from the market aspect greatly while offering much less rewarding things in its place. With the Hidden Abilities fiasco on the horizon, old members are only going to take so much of this abuse, seeing as many comp mons will be rendered maybe half of its value from that.
  24. Easiest/fastest soultion is gonnna be to reinstall the client

    im not going to necro a 2 year old thread and edit it so that all of the comments no longer apply. You arent adding anything to the thread or its subject other than nitpicking because i expanded on a previous suggestion... which is completely allowed. So fuck off. nah cause they get released via npc and you have cops trying to catch you doing this. i dont have an alt. and of course it would be a pain to code, its a game ffs. you gotta put in work to get results and nobody assumed otherwise. i fail to see why that is relevant, youre on a fucking suggestion board m8. if you really feel this way you should go into every single thread and be like "coding is hard lololol". Balanced you say? Offers no examples...
