They always looked more like buck teeth like bidoof or something rather than spooky scary fangs

For me, this is where this suggestion loses all credibility: So, essentially, you're saying that you're willing to give your team out to EVERYONE for free (on CN PVP forums), unless they spectate you. God forbid if they spend an extra 10 minutes to see how you actually use the team that you suggested to win.. So, you're giving everyone the exact configuration on how to win (for free), but you're mad that they took some time to see how to apply the methods that you suggested? How are they supposed to confirm that your suggestions work then? How can you even pretend to be helpful if you are only willing to tell them the pokemon to use (with SO MUCH deserved credit btw), but not actually show them how exactly to use them? Literally what @TheFrenchiestFry said to this comment is the only appropriate response. It's extremely clear that you only want money and/or fame for being the "first" to come up with a team (despite MANY MANY players having figured out "your" methods years before you). You can go ahead and stop pretending this suggestion is for some altruistic reason other than wanting to make yourself more money/credibility now. It really sounds like the only reason this idea is being suggested is so that players can post a thread online on the pokemon players need to buy to win, and then charge an additional 5m or whatever just to allow players to spectate and show them how to use the pokemon that you suggested.

The Halloween event has been around longer than most of the players here who are claiming that they did their own "research" to come up with a 100% "original" team. Isn't it weird how they claim to have created their own 100% original team in 2019 and 2020, when the pumpking has been in pokmmo since 2018 and even 2016 and earlier? I can guarantee that the "original team" you are trying so hard to protect was at least 50% copied from some other player who farmed the event 1 year earlier. Even if we add this feature, everyone will come to the same exact conclusion regarding the best team to farm the event with - there are only so many possible configurations to win. Even if this suggestion is added, you will still see nearly every player using the same exact strategy, because there are only certain weaknesses, which people will all see & then learn to exploit. Not everyone is so greedy that they need to be paranoid about who is watching them. As @Riesz already pointed out, why is this only a problem since the CN community joined, and not for all the prior years? The entire rest of the world uses youtube but this wasn't a problem for 5+ years (perhaps because everyone realizes information will be spread regardless)? Why do we suddenly need a feature just to protect a specific website (BilliBilli) from spreading information? Word of mouth spreads even faster than you may think. Someone can share their entire team to 1 "friend" who can share to another "friend" and then another, and so on, and so on. Each "friend" may be trusted entirely, but the information reaches more and more players exponentially as it spreads from player to player. The entire pokemmo player-base is connected in this way. Asking someone not to share information is rarely effective. Therefore, even if this suggestion IS added, it wouldn't work. What's the point of creating more work for the developers? Secret team builds won't be effectively kept secret, when the developer's goals are to bring together the community in times of festivities and events such as Halloween and Christmas. We should really all just be happy we get to participate and come together as a community, instead of worrying about what other players are making money and who is not. It seems too greedy to bicker over.

Generic joke about 2020 lasting more than 365 days

We have 2 guys that stream to twitch regularly in our team, so I'm sorry to inform you, but you should already be disappointed. Honestly, I'd be surprised if you weren't already disappointed with the PokeMMO community for other reasons anyway

Shiny #38: Shiny Murkrow - 35,345 encounters + 1,800 eggs

No, they don't. Even if you group 4 people in a link all using charms, the max boost from a charm you can get is +10%, or +20% using donator and charm. See this thread, there's a reason it's pinned:

I wasn't really responding to your comment, more just encouraging the OP on the uniqueness of the theme overall. If you want to use the theme with the default font, you don't have to wait for them to do that for you, its very easy to change any theme's font back to the normal one. All you have to do is go to your themes->default->res folders and copy the entire "fonts" folder. Then go delete the same fonts folder from the underworld theme's "res" folder, and paste the copied default folder there instead. You also have to do this same process with the "fonts" XML file which is in the main folder of the theme. Once you have swapped both of those from the default, close and re-open the client and the entire theme will be the same except for the font. So far I haven't found any bugs doing this. Edit: Here's how it looks

The font takes like 10 minutes to get used to, sure, but once you do it's great. Honestly, I was just happy to see a theme that works with the trade window (literally all my other themes including the custom ones that people made for me), broke with the latest update. I'm overall really happy with this theme, the only thing that bothers me is that I can't see chinese text so like half of trade chat is missing, if this ever gets fixed that would be nice. The opaque windows are great, and I love the high-contrast theme in general. Great work @Rhenor.

Now I know what casual players think of us hunters while we're out doing our thing for days at a time. For the record the shiny rate in pokemmo is 1/30,000 so girlan's encounters are par for the course. Ive had 3 hunts so far reach over 100k encounters before finding a wrong colored monster. It just makes finally finding one that much more exciting I guess (thats legit the only positive i can think of atm). Great art!

Regarding this segment, you're right: Sorry again not trying to derail this thread. I would love to see more hair limited vanities.
