  1. I'm usually a metal kind of guy but quite like chilling to this right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yBnIUX0QAE
  2. This seems really nice, since the breeding process at the moment is pretty unforgiving and it can be lots & lots of time to just try things out, the problem I see with it is that this may be very, very hard to actually do, with every move needing its own individual marker that would attach to the pokemon when it came out of the daycare only if those moves were on its list of possible egg moves, & all the egg moves for every pokemon being coded into the move tutor too.
  3. try using it in the level 15-20 cup on Pokemon Stadium with a Gyarados, it wrecks pretty much everything, it's useful in every gym under level 40 too, getting 2 & 3hkos
  4. I don't understand your list? dragon rage is the most powerful move in the game when you're playing under level 30, how can blasting everything with 1hkos be disappointing? & bone rush/rollout/double team can all be incredibly powerful & fun to use, bide creates a huge amount of tension when you're going up against brock with a charmander, it makes that battle far more interesting & challenging than it would otherwise be. & the animations on seismic toss in gen 3 gamecube & gen 6 DS are funny as ****, especially if you send a wailord into orbit, its also an incredibly useful move with it's damage scaling by level & ignoring defence, & if you hit a level 40 or below mon with a level 50+ charizard seismic toss it is just as devastating as in the anime, and hold hands is fun, the only thing disappointing about it is you can't hold hands with an opponent in singles xD really wish you could, it's still fun for showing off in doubles though, almost picked hold hands for just that but rage is both genuinely bad & has absolutely no correlation between the game & anime, sonic boom is underwhelming but situationally useful.
  5. I know it's not a terrible thing & it is necessary to limit the amount of high IVed pokemon around but for me this away of doing it ruins the RPG experience of playing a pokemon game which makes playing a different MMO or pokemon game more enjoyable than playing this one. Since the game's in constant development I can only hope as the game continues to evolve it becomes enjoyable for me to play again, while of course maintaining the essential game balance, something that would undoubtedly keep the current system in some form since it works so well but also improve the experience of playing the game.
  6. If I'm not doing anything I like to take a seat in a nearby pokemon center with a pokemon beside me.
  7. Download & unzip the Fire Red & Heart Gold ROMS then move the them to the ROMS folder in pokeMMO. Fire Red is the important one, it's the core system the rest of the game is based off of, Heart Gold gives access to extra features like letting your pokemon walk behind you & seeing other people's pokemon in the overworld. If you're looking for more help pretty sure there are a few youtube guides.
  8. you're misunderstanding, by surprise I mean it would be surprising for an opponent when those moves are used, and random IVs are in no way a positive, they are a necessary debuff to allow for a classic breeding system without breaking the market with high IV pokemon. It would be useful for comp breeders too, they could more easily pass egg moves & tms onto new pokemon before moving those into the IV breeding daycare, & it would benefit beginner trainers because there would be low IV EM pokemon around being sold & gifted. The best place for the random IV daycare would be hoenn since it is more easily accessible compared to the one in kanto, it would also provide a better rpg experience for hoenn trainers who could breed for basic egg moves on low IV in game viable pokemon. The biggest reason for it is it would keep people playing this game who might otherwise be put off because they are perhaps a little too fond of the original games, there are quite a lot of those people.
  9. The only problem I see with this system is it alienates people who don't just IV breed to sell or to make comps to use, people who love the pokemon games & want a multiplayer experiance that as closely reflects them as posible. Personally sometimes I just breed for fun, the breeding itself being fun without regard for an end goal, just to see what move sets I can get on what pokemon, the more surprising the better, I can't do that anymore, the enjoyment of breeding is now just reaching an end goal, casual players less interested in amassing wealth or playing competitively have no reason to take part in breeding pokemon, a huge part of the post game experience, & are likely to just leave. I think the fact there are now 2 regions should be taken advantage of, have 1 daycare use the new system, have the other always produce completely random IVs that aren't affected by parents & have the parents be unable to hold items in that daycare, people could still breed for egg moves & still breed in a way that reflects the original games but would be unable to get a truly competitive pokemon without using the current system which works so well at controlling the availability of comp pokemon. People would get more out of having fully completed all parts of the game too since they would only then have access to the full breeding system. I realise this is a very low priority compared to new dungeons/ market/ balance issues/ completing hoenn ect. but I think it or something like it really is needed.
  10. It should be difficult & time consuming to get perfect pokemon, perfect pokemon should be worth alot, the prices of breed items might need some balancing but making braces completely free is just going to devalue perfect pokemon again, not as much as before but still..
  11. so I haven't played in a while, got pokemon X pretty late, was making friends, making comps playing battles & getting 719 dex completion on that, then got OR over christmas did alot of shiny hunting while slowly going through the main story & picking up events & chatting on pss, but playing this game, over any other, is a lot of fun, a unique experience of pokemon gameplay with a great community, it was only a matter of time before I came back to it, :P once I was in I played through a whole day & a half -mostly chatting, EV training & pay day grinding, hunted down a nice high IV jolly meowth then gave some meowth to new players- & was looking forward to exploring hoenn, then noticed some of the other changes... all my e-punchers & shadow ballers becoming useless was, well, frustrating, considering all the time spent on them, also the effective loss of the one place with a truly active gen 3 metagame was, well, bad too, then there was the breeding thing ..just felt a bit crushed in regards to continuing playing at all, but I really really enjoy playing this game, so I really wanted to find some reason to continue with it, breeding pokemon though was the one thing that set pokeMMO apart from any other pokemon game or game based on pokemon & the thing I most enjoyed about the game, and there's no way I'm ever going to enjoy destroying pokemon, I like them too much. I've spent the last couple hours in the forum (my 1st time here other than when checking updates & searching in game info like pokemon & item locations), still half looking for a reason to continue playing, found a few. Just thinking about the physical/special split remembered thinking before that it'd be nice to play competitive battles without all the changes to typing & the mega evolutions running around, even had thoughts previously wondering what gen 3 would be like with all the same pokemon & moves but with the physical/special move categories from gen4+, but 1st I'd have to spend a very large amount of time using a system of breeding that I'm just not going to enjoy & which massively discourages creativity & experimentation, saw one thing, I can't remember exactly where that showed maybe a future there someday, different breeding systems in different regions, one with normal breeding resulting in always totally random IVs(with the pokemon stored being unable to hold items) & one using the current system that allows accurate comp breeding but with the loss of the parents used. It's something that would allow greater experimentation in the breeding process, would allow moves to be more easily passed on in a manner closer to the original game, but maintain the rarity of pokemon with highly competitive IVs, it would also reopen the lower end of the trading market to new players & perhaps lead to a bit of friendly lending of pokemon for egg moves, but that or some other similarly effective solution seems a long ways off atm, so I'm leaving the game for now, I'll check in again in a few months ....then again maybe around christmas or sometime into next year, I'd love to start a hoenn adventure here that has some hope of an enjoyable post game someday, it really is a great game. Bye for now, best wishes all. Oh one other thing I saw that was vaguely interesting but not really important was about genderless pokemon breeding. The simplest/most workable solution seems to be to allow all genderless pokemon to breed with only themselves & ditto & for ditto to breed with anything but never itself same as always, ie staryu can only breed with staryu & ditto, voltorb with voltorb & ditto ect.
  12. The biggest reason I got into pokeMMO was the unique breeding system, the biggest reason for why I'm leaving is the new breeding system. I love playing pokemon, & I'm attached to the pokemon I breed & raise, pokemon being sent into an endless pixilated meatgrinder of destruction for the single goal of creating effective combative pokes just seems wrong to me & destroys both the spirit of the game & the fun in breeding anything, it seems less like pokemon & more just an endless grind MMO with some familiar faces stamped onto it,. I like breeding different pokemon with abnormal sets, breeding sets just because it is possible here & nowhere else, breeding to pass tms around to my various pokemon, all these things are now just a waste of time, things I would of had fun with, especially with all the things I'd of had to play with in the new update, just aren't fun anymore, instead of spending the next few weeks engrossed in this game after noticing the new update I'm giving up on it & looking for something else to do. The breeding community that was here last time I came to pokeMMO just seems dead now, no more pokemon with egg moves being picked up by new players just as they start out, no more sharing high IV pokemon between communities, just a few more active tournaments which frankly are probably more down to an increase in the number of active players due to interest in the addition of the new hoenn region & pokemon as well as the new challenge provided by the shift in move types than easier comp breeding.
  13. that's the problem, it reduces pokemon to lifeless produce instead of being cherished & shared, there are plenty of nice MMO's to play with an item refinement system, I came to this particular game to play a wonderful multiplayer version of a classic pokemon game, which is what this was, which is why I enjoyed playing this game so much, and it just isn't anymore.
