Always sad to see someone leave the community, but if that's your choice then there's nothing any of us can do to convince you to stay. Farewell.

Yo, some people complain about scouting during tournaments, while some avoid battling in verm for the same reason.
What if we had an extra option that prevents anyone from spectating your matches?
Can't see anything wrong with this, we get more battles in general and people would stop complain about scouting
I think the idea is great.
The main problem I can see is Official/Unofficial events. To elaborate, a lot of people show up to events just to watch. With a 'Private Battle' system in place, all these people are screwed so the crowds for official events would probably consist of only people battling and their teamates. On top of that, the hosts and refs of both official and unofficial events need to spectate a match to see if all the clauses are correct and ensure nobodies doing anything cheeky.
I suppose that the host could enforce 'Private Mode Off' which would fix this though, in which case I really support this suggestion.
It's happened to me in the past that I would battle someone in vermilion, win or lose, then a guy would challenge me not long after with a perfect counter team. Scouting, as pointed out, discourages battling for practice in populated areas like Vermilion, and PvP is one of our most fun pieces of gameplay.
I do think that when this private mode is turned on, the ball above somebodies head should be a different color(So that you don't have to click 10 different people at random until you find a match you can spectate). I'd also worry that finding a battle to watch for entertainment in Vermilion would become harder.
Edit:
btw I haven't read the full thread yet. I just woke up and need a shower first -
It does solve "because they forget to change their chat back to the chat they want to be in".
Reason: If there was an option to automatically change your chat to the tab you want it to be in every time you click on the tab, I would surely take advantage of that option. Most of the time, people don't look at the chat channels you can change and go on straight to typing. I'm pretty sure some people viewing this would too. I am not saying we should change the whole chat with this suggestion. I am saying there should be an option.
If this was implemented, if you think the setting is ridiculous and worthless, then don't use it.
You completely disregarded all points I made except for that one. Listen man, I'm not here to start arguments, just to post my opinions on a suggestion. I like discussion, but I know full well that picking apart someone's post like that and only focusing on a single part never leads to meaningful discussion.
The cons of this are very clear though. It adds overcomplication, in the sense that it's a mechanic that doesn't need to exist. Again, I feel the need to point out the "Too many toggles" argument, and adding on top of that the "Slippery slopes" argument because the "just one more toggle" way of thinking is flawed.
Also people will generally take the easiest option, so who is this function targeted at? All the old users who are used to the old system will continue using that system. New lazy users won't like the extra menu box when they're changing chats, so they'll use the original one. There's no point adding extra options and menu boxes in the hope of saving someone from having to say 'wc'. As a random estimate, I'd say I wrong chat once every two weeks. That's 30 seconds max of waiting. Why would I chose to use this option, just on the small likelyhood it might save me 30 seconds?
I'm sure there's plenty more arguments that I could make to further my point, but in the end these are just opinions and should not be treated as an argument. Since I've put my opinion out there and haven't got much more to say, I'll just lurk the thread. Suggest on bro- Champlooo and OrangeManiac

Then there should be an option to disable it if you don't want to see the box
Oldschool Runescape is a prime example of what happens when you add too many toggles to things. There's meaningless toggles for meaningless things, and ultimately you just end up overcomplicating the Settings menu when you add too many toggles, so the argument "There's no reason this shouldn't be added, just add a toggle to turn it off" is kind of invalid here.
Imo posting things in the wrong chat is annoying. Having nearly posted a link to a picture of an anime girl in a bathing suit in global chat(While I was a CM) rather than team chat, I know that sometimes it can be really awkward too. That being said, it's up to the user to make sure they're in the right chat when they send a message. A mechanic should not be implemented to make up for the negligence in paying attention that a few users suffer a short chat cooldown because of.
On top of that, from what I've read and understood(And correct me if I understood in incorrectly) this actually makes chat more tedious.
There's a reason the [Channel] image is shown right next to where you type. It's so you can easily see which chat you're sending a message to, and with commands like /gl it's very easy to change channels.
Also, I think the main reason people post messages in the wrong chat is because they forget to change their chat back to the chat they want to be in, from the one they were in. The proposed solution doesn't solve this. -

Best strategy for me was:
Have a lvl 100 starmie with Toxic
Toxic first phase, switch into Zard(Gigadrain is resisted 4x) then fly stall til it dies
Leech Seed second phase, switch into a Gengar. A gengar with taunt would probably be best.
Third phase, toxic and try to stay alive as long as possible.
Couldn't have done it without Ariej's gengar, thanks <3 -
Thats the time I reair on YouTube due to school so that way I can doll up the video to make it a bit more epic....

I beat it with lvl 50 pokes, here was my strategy :
Boss 1 : Toxic him and switch in a grass type. He is now unable to do anything and dies from poison.Boss 2 : Leech-seed him and he will be unable to kill any of your pokemon, as his hp will fully heal them from their injury. It's long but he will die from seeds.
Boss 3 : Toxic him and switch in with weezing. if he uses his ghost attack that takes 2 turns, switch to a normal pokemon,then again to weezing. I think you can also seed him.Much appreciated.

Moved from the 'pumpking' thread.
After playing through the event, I figure I'll leave my impressions and opinions(However meaningless they may be) here in this thread.I'll start off with things I feel this event did right, because I'm an optimistic guy:
- First off I love the art. All of the cosmetic items look great, and Darkshades talent really shows with these new additions. Rachel's art for the event was also really pretty, and it just goes to show that the PokeMMO staff is full of great artists.
- I like the way the items are obtained. The event itself brought the community together and gave us all a collective goal to work towards. I really felt this is the kind of content the game needs. I also like the idea of pseudo-boss fights that you had to do to get the candy, and then having an RNG element for rewards. This part of the event was really fun.
- I love the decoration for the event, with jack-o-lanturns placed around the world.
- Lastly, I know there's some discussion of about the Halloween client theme where some will say it's worst than the original, and others say it's nice. Personally, I think the design is great. I'm not a fan of bright color schemes, and although it does look alright I think a darker one would be more fitting. Hell I might even edit the current ones color scheme and make it dark if I can, because the design itself is pretty nice.
Pros of the boss fight: - The overall design of the event leading up to the fight was great. I liked that items you got from the first part of the event gave you an advantage during the boss battle. This part was really well thought out.
- It encourages community collaboration by means of sharing strategies and Pokemon.
- The art is beautiful
- The boss itself is something new and fresh, and it's genuinely challenging
There are other positive things that I didn't mention, simply because I didn't notice them or I'm too tired right now to remember them, and before I get to the next part I'd like to say that I did enjoy this event and it was a really good event. It managed to bring me, and a few others, back from the dead and after taking part in the event I'm genuinely considering coming back to playing this game.
That being said, on to the negatives:- How short the event is. I get that it needs to be short because limited edition tradeable items are being given away, but in my opinion the event should have been out for longer than it was. The changelog was posted 29 October 2015 - 06:43 PM (At least that's what's being shown for my time zone) and the event if I recall ends tomorrow. That's not really enough time(Especially considering I now have to beat a rather tedious boss before I can trade in candies) to have a chance to get all the items I wanted without spending millions of yen that I simply do not have, nor am I willing to earn(Simply because I don't enjoy making money, nor having money in this game. Maybe that's a flaw with me and not the game, but that's how I feel regardless.)

The difficulty of the boss fight. Don't get me wrong, I love a challenge, but in my opinion holiday events should be accessible by all different 'tiers' of players and not just those who have plenty of level 100s lying around. Maybe the design was aiming for something that I'm not used to seeing in events. The only other MMO I play is Oldschool Runescape, and generally their events are fair to all levels of players, but maybe this PokeMMO boss fight was designed to reward experienced players. I can't really fault this either way, but I feel it's kind of unfair to punish new players by making them unable to complete the event(Which also limits them from trading in their candies for 24(?) hours until the boss leaves(?)).
Edit3: Marked this out because a couple guys with level 50s managed it, so maybe I'm just shit. -
The mechanics of the boss fight: My first thoughts were "What, this isn't enjoyable. Is this designed just to be impossible to defeat?". I genuinely thought, after the first fight, that you were supposed to lose to continue the event. In my opinion it just wasn't enjoyable to me. That's not to say it was bad design, this boss fight just didn't put that "Holy shit I want to keep going!" feeling in my head that the earlier parts of the event did.
Edit4: Honestly the mechanics of the fight are pretty cool. I can't fault it for being challenging, especially when the game needs a little more challenge to it. - The spooky candy collection meter really hyped me, and I was excited to see what was going to happen. I didn't realize that the boss battle was just going to be a minor reward though, so it did kind of feel like a letdown. Having the most difficult opponent in game give a 'Minor Reward' feels kinda shitty. In my opinion(and I get why this didn't happen) the Jack-O-Lanturn mask should have been that reward. I bought mine from another player, so I got it anyways(And arguably it's worth more this way, so I profit more by not having it as a drop from the boss) but I still feel like the Jack Mask is the most visually impressive item in the event(And in the game for that matter), and the Pumpkin Bag, while still being beautiful, was just ahead of Vampire Fangs for least impressive visuals.
- The boss fight actually hinders your ability to participate in the event by not letting you trade in candies anymore(until you complete it?)
EDIT: I'm gonna go ahead and mark out the sections about the boss fight. It occurred to me after reading some other users comments that maybe I just didn't give myself enough tries to beat the boss, so I'm gonna go back and give it another shot before I make any negative comments based on that.
Edit2: After giving it a few more shots, and nearly beating it, I still don't find it enjoyable. The design itself is alright though, I just don't feel like going through the effort for an item that I will likely never wear.(The item looks great, but I have another item that I wear in my back slot.)
Again, don't get me wrong, I did really enjoy this event. There were some things I didn't like, but that may not be because they were poorly designed, maybe my preference in games is just different than the crowd this MMO is designed for. Regardless I did think the art(Both Rachel's and Darkshade's) was great, I got some cool items out of the event, and I really did enjoy this Halloween event. This was overall a really enjoyable experience. I think my main problem was that I expected this event to be easy, due to all previous holiday events in MMOs I've played being that way, and it simply wasn't. -
-
the artwork for this event was great, but it's a shame that the image got shrunk. There's a lot of really pretty details(The details in her hair for example) that aren't really noticeable in the smaller version.
tfw I had something positive to say for once. today has been a good day -

A while back I was going to write a really intelligent argument as to why Off Topic should be brought back, and I was gonna get it brought back and be the hero of OT
but I forgot, until 10 minutes ago after seeing this thread I remembered
somebody else do it, I haven't got the motivation anymore

Though I kinda feel like an exception could be made.
Yeah I probably should have mentioned that.
Given that it's a community event, the bot would be streamed for evidence, and it'd actually make the game significantly harder (Compared to users sharing an account so that they can achieve 24/7 no exp waste) I think an exception could be made if the streamer just asked nicely. Would love to get a staff members opinion on this thread though, I'm curious if it'd be allowed. I think we could use more community twitch events.
Note: If you're fed up with Runescape comparisons being made, ignore this spoiler[spoiler]
Oldschool Runescape I know hosts various community events on stream such as Boss Masses(Where a large number of people group up and kill a boss on stream. Usually hundreds of people show up). For PokeMMO since we don't have bosses, it'd be nice if we hosted a twitch pokemon hunting contest or something.
Usually these things are run by the Jmods though rather than the community. I wonder if any of our current staff would be up to stream events..[/spoiler]

really? that's lame =(
Yeah seems like it is, but I'm not really qualified to say
You may not use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks or any third-party software which can be detrimental to other users' experience, nor will You relay or store any items for other users who are using these processes; and
You may not use any unauthorized third-party software that intercepts or otherwise collects information from or through the Game or Service, including without limitation any software that reads areas of RAM used by the game, any program which reads and attempts to manipulate network traffic between your Game Client and the Game Server.
Edit: This is from the Code of Conduct
Technically since a program is controlling the input to the game I think this would be against the rules.
The second quote isn't really relevant, but figured I'd post due to it relating to third party software.
Access;
- You acknowledge that each Account may only be used by one person. If a minor over the age of 13 has been allowed access to an account by his/her parents or legal guardian, only that minor may use the Account thereafter;
from the Terms of Service
I do kind of agree that the hype has died down. Getting a twitch crowd would be a great way to bring new players to the game though. -
Pretty sure this would fall under the rule against bots and also the rule against account sharing, I'll check the rules to see.TPP is run by a bot registering what is written in a chat, then pressing the buttons equal to its code on a emulator, so this could possibly done

I'm sorry but with this boring money grinding system i don't think it encourages people to play the game actually it makes people leave.I don't log on the same anymore because i'm sick of doing the same shit NPC battles so it doesn't encourage people at all.That's what i think.
And everything in pokemmo has to be with money i don't see anything being free.Since this is a Online MMO u could give gift money sometimes like 300 k each month and mini games.But u always think this being abused.While u "think" u should try before saying it would be abused
And i like this suggestion it would be a nice private place.
Then that's an issue with the gameplay and making money, and you can contribute to fixing the issue by making suggestions and discussion, but "Make everything free" is not a solution.
A lot of the value of things in an MMO comes from the work you need to invest into getting it. If you start handing out free things left and right then it becomes less about working hard for what you own, and then things get devalued. This is especially the case with the suggestion you made of just giving a free 300k to players every month. What this does is it encourages players to log on once a month, then just be lazy until their next 'welfare check', as I would call it, comes in.
A better idea in my opinion would be a daily challenges system, where you log in daily and complete random/pre-set challenges and earn a reward that scales with the difficulty of the challenge. This encourages actual gameplay by making you do some sort of activity, and also encourages players to log in on a daily basis.
As for minigames, yeah that's a cool idea.
Note that I'm not trying to say there isn't an issue with our game currently, I'm just saying that OPs suggestion does nothing to fix the problems you just mentioned, and as I've mentioned it doesn't bring much content to the game that we don't already have. If you'd like to have a private place to go to, I agree with Xela's points here:The only players who can just walk into your secret base are those on your friends list. Anyone else will just be asked if they want to create a secret base there. I'm struggling to see the benefit to this at all since it's not almost the same thing as a secret base, it's exactly the same thing as a secret base.
Anyways I'm getting off topic, and since there's nothing more I have to say regarding OPs suggestion I'm going to go back to playing OSRS. It's been a pleasure coming back from the dead and talking to you guys.

I support this suggestion so much, whenever I log on I'm gonna send OP 5 mails instead of just 1 to tell him how cool of a suggestion this is.
