What is up with the abundance of gimmicky crit-me-not sweepers in randoms? It is seriously detrimental to the ladder and to some has made repeated games borderline unplayable.
There are far too many sets that are unviable outside of this hellish randoms meta PokeMMO has birthed. I mean really, we have countless throwaway sets showcasing defense boosting moves with rest, and that's fun?
It seems immensely counterintuitive to litter this gamemode with an absurd amount of sets that do not reward good plays, nor predictions, nor even a basic understanding of competitive play (because the sets are uncompetitive)! The cherry on top is how regularly we run into game states that result in mind-numblingly long battles that boil down to whoever can roll better RNG first. Yes, Pokémon will always be heavily influenced by RNG, and this is increased tenfold in a literally random metagame, however this is not the "wild card" factor we should aim for.
I'm shocked no one has remarked on how damaging this commonality is in a mode that, by design, is meant for a slightly more fast-paced and casual experience compared to other ladders.
I came here to say pretty much this, and I'm glad I didn't have to put the effort in to make it cohesive.
More specifically, this part

Things like Lickitung, Seed-sub Jumpluff, Cosmic Power users, etc. become literal win cards with very minimal strategy required. Lickitung especially, with it's heal bell/wish/seismic toss set, may as well have a move called "Skill issue" that uninstalls it's opponents client if they lack a fighting type. Basically anything with a health-recovery move is one mistake/bad-team-roll away from sweeping half-or-all of your team in a spectacularly snail-paced fashion. Stat boost sets with Nasty Plot, Quiver Dance, Swords Dance etc. help counteract these things, but present their own issues. If my matches don't go the way of "Well fug, his lead can super effective 5/6 of my team", or "Literally nothing I have can out damage it's heals", it goes the route of "hueuehuheuheue one quiver dance/nasty plot and I'm plowing through the whole team". Very few wins or losses felt like I really earned them, and I think moving the extreme offense/defense sets a little closer to the center balance would re-orientate gameplay towards strategy instead of team-rolls.
Recovery moves should be a tool to be used when you predict your opponent will switch out, not a tool to outstall any sets that can't do more than 50% damage without a crit.
Likewise, stat buffs should be less about sweeping an entire team of 100% health bars, and more-so a lategame strategy to apply after you've chipped your opponent down.
That said, randoms has been so phenomenally well balanced since the start, all things considered, that I'm honestly impressed at the results. The quirky sets and huge diversity between matches is phenomenal and keeps the gameplay fresh. I keep logging in because of the addition of this tier, which speaks to the fact that it's literally the greatest thing to be added to the game. After burning out due to 5k hours in Runescape, and 4k in Pmmo, I'm tired of the grind and like that I have the option to just play the game and chat with people.

I would also really like a "mail me with offers" option that shows your IGN lol, maybe with a seperate mailbox for it while we're on the topic. Also, auctions when?

So on the flipside, I think there's great value in building a team that isn't based on "being the best comp team in the game" but rather having a chill and relaxed atmospheare.

Most suggestions box posts aren't worth much more than a good laugh, but this is actually a pretty decent sounding idea.

Think about it this way, if on average you got profit from opening envelopes then you could just buy 100 envelopes, open them, get more money than you put in, then buy back 150 envelopes with the profit, open them, get more money than you put in, buy 200 envelopes, etc etc. You'd make infinite money which you obviously cant do, so on average opening them will leave you with less money than you started with
Clearly nobody shares my affection for YOLO money ;_;
Buying envolopes to open == casino money, expect to lose it
Opening envolopes you earned == free casino money, you earned it

uh actually the golden tiger mask is a bit better than i imagined from what i saw on the forum
so....
I was in the same boat as you. My first opinions from forum post was that it was kinda meh, but once I saw it in game on my character, with different tops/etc. I really like it.
If GDM was a full face mask, and not a 3/4 mask I think I'd like it more, but it's not so GTM to the moon bby -
Just wanted to drop in and say it actually looks much better in game than I thought. Side view especially

the question is that people had a lot of speculation that there would be 2 this year one red and one albino. but no one expected a repeat which does not show much interest from the public it seems....
The discord seems to be lit up with people who like it. Not saying it's mona lisa, just that it's all perspective. We'll see what the price looks like in a month, that'll be the real tell of if it was a good idea or not.
Also super interested in hearing other peoples opinions on it before I drop a buttload of yen on them. -

Dude tricked me too. Was thinking it'd be some crazy gamebreaking stuff, turned out to just be a super wholesome post. Much love to OP

Requesting that we get a Miata bicycle, because apparently non-bicycle bicycles are a thing(The sleigh is my single favorite vanity I own, even though it's one of the cheapest.) Preferably NA generation(1st Gen), but 2nd gen is cool too. Just don't do the NB1 or NC cuz they're trash.
Reasons why this should happen: I will personally buy 300
Edit: Also, limited would be dope. Miata vanities are cool, but Miata vanities that make me rich are cooler -
I'm assuming this is about the insane prices of vanities, and as someone who's mini-ballin due to the insane prices of vanities, I agree that our current cosmetics economy kinda sux. More skill based cosmetics like the PvP rewards would add a lot more variety to cosmetics than just "I have too much money, gotta invest it somewhere".

Don't mean to spam, but don't see a lot of positivity in the thread. Just wanted to drop some happy feedback and say this set is dope

Rip anyone who bought them for more than 18m a few days ago
I wish I was as good with irl stonks as I am with winged helmets. Offloaded all of mine, except the one I'm keeping for personal use, between 18 and 15. I guess I just kinda felt it coming, I always thought they were too ugly to be the next GDM.

Semi-currently playing DayZ Standalone. Been wanting to play it since I was teen, but only recently got a computer that could. Overall it's fun, but for someone who only gets to play 3-4 hours a day it's not really doing it for me anymore. The gameplay design is so slow(Not a bad thing), you can run around for days before actually finding someone to shoot/converse with.
I tried playing a variety of VR games too; Fallout 4, Pop. One, Skyrim VR, and a few others but didn't really get into any of them. Guess I'll wait for a proper MMO/Sandbox multiplayer game to come out on it.
All this is of course just to tide me over until ELDEN RING -

And goddamn I remember like 90% of the people in this thread. Nowadays is just randoms
Man I recognize like over half the names in this thread but can't remember where from on most of them lol.
I think my fondest memory was Vermilion Ch1 PvP. There were no rewards, no reason to do it, and whenever you lost your shame was broadcasted in special colors; DAFTKITTEH LOST TO 420RandomN00b69
People used to talk mad trash, randoms would chime in to try and coach you, it was a proper social event sometimes. On top of that, it was extremely satisfying when you'd stomp someone and immediately after... *poof* they log out.
What I don't miss though, Trade chat channel. One more offer of 25% the value of whatever I'm selling, or foul language over politely denying an offer and I would've snapped. GTL may not be perfect imo, but damn if it ain't better than having to learn spanish just to sell a 2x31 wooper. -
Sold one yesterday to try and fund some other things, already getting FOMO on this one.

"give up" after the 1st round of Pvp.

Honest suggestion, try out Randoms. This is the exact reason I left OU. I got tired of running into the exact same teams, over, and over, and over again.. And like you said, once you start winning, they start cheesing with the stalls to try and just force you to give up. I won a pretty good amount of my OU matches, but the tier itself was just too sweaty. The variety of Randoms really helped bring my love for PvP back, so I think anyone suffering from OU burnout would have a good time w/ it
