Event Suggestions & Feedback

[Strych]

As you all know, we enjoy running events. We try to come up with as many new and exciting ideas for them as we can, whilst also attempting to cater to our broad player-base.

Have we run a particular event that you'd like to see again? Perhaps one that you didn't like so much?
Do you have an idea for an event that you'd like to see happen? We're interested in your feedback and ideas, so feel free to post them in this thread.


Please keep ideas within the realm of possibility. I realise "if X is implemented, Y could be a great event", but lets try to work with what we have.



Note: This thread is for the discussion of official events (like those posted in PokeMMO Official Events).

Gimmicky uu doubles tourney, I dont care if its not a real tier, would be fun. 

i owe you a like and YES!!!!!!!! lets do it. mantine/lightning rod rhydon core ftw

[Mariout]

How bout Find a Friend?

As long as the friend we're finding is you and you're hiding in staff, that'd be fun. Also Hide and Seek is a good event.

How about a berserk tournament where only damaging moves can be used?

Agreed so much! I feel the same, the few UU doubles tournaments I played(PokeDaily) was fun asf, even if people don't think it's a "real" tier. Idgaf it was fun. :p

[Gunthug]

UU doubles definitely sounds fun. Also, I know you mentioned it, but we could definitely use some good ole fashioned standard tournaments...especially a standard UU :)

"UU Doubles isn't a thing. Stop trying to make it a thing, it's not gonna happen."

UU doubles can be a thing lets do it. you said the same about nu (which admittedly you were right but lets do it anyways)

[SirGaryOak]

Bowser already mentioned uu doubles as a gimmicky not a tier. And people just agreed it would be a fun tournament. ;)

No. For UU Doubles to be a thing it would need it's own OU list, because what's "OU" in Doubles isn't what's OU in Singles. Not only that, but the reason there's even UU in singles is because of the fact that, for the most part, the truly viable pokemon in OU is very limited, as there are a lot of far outclassed pokemon. Doubles has this issue slightly less, as two pokemon allows more versatility in what can be viable as very niche pokemon can serve very well in combination with other pokemon.

 

[spoiler]even if some staff member decides to host some "UU doubles" bullshit, an official "Doubles OU" list isn't happening, so it won't be a thing regardless hue[/spoiler]

Senile our praised meta overlord has been waiting for his cape prize for the CAP contest, which he won 7 months ago. Please do not deprive this poor lad of his cape for much longer.

 

Staff pls respond.

[TheGloriousWalrus]

I don't know if it has been suggested before, but a "screenshot contest"

or a "screenshot of the month" thingy would be pretty cool.

[Eggplant]

Hey, how about a Sky Battle tourney?

Fly types and Levitate only.

Has there ever been a music creation art contest? Say redoing one of the anime's themes and changing it somehow to make it different. Like the first theme on nothing but cello with a female singer.

There have been two, but they were for in game music.

I remember one of them, but I missed it.

Music specifically is exactly my domain :p Any chance we'll see another?

i suggest a team tourney in june ^^

It may be useful to set judging dates among staff who are signed up to judge events at the time of proposal. This could help lessen the time it takes to judge things and get them out to the public, and the staff involved would understand the commitment they were agreeing to. I just think it could be a bit more professional. I understand things occur and occasionally stuff is delayed for personal reasons but at that point someone else should take over and get the job done. Just my thoughts.

I can't speak for anyone else, but in terms of judging the create a region event, I am reading as thoroughly possible to ensure I pick the best custom regions. Everyone put in a lot of hard work on them so I want to be sure I don't miss important details.

[Toast]

non-gimmick uu tourney pls.

Please don't take offense to this but you can do that with a deadline. I don't think it should take 3+ weeks. Although I do recognize it was a large contest.

It's good to be thorough but being efficient is optimum. I don't think there's an excuse for taking this long, to be honest. I also think setting deadlines would be beneficial regardless, this isn't completely aimed at the region contest. Other events have taken much longer than they should to be "judged", deadlines just seem like a good idea to me.

Regardless, I look forward to congratulating the winner and reading the bit of people's entries I didn't get to see.

Souldn't expect the results within this year dead srs. It took them like 2 months to judge the CAP cobtest which was a LOT less reading.

 

Till this day the winner still hasn't gotten his rightful price. A moment of silence in his memory o8

How is that an excuse? "It happened before so it can happen again". I was staff when that was being "judged" and I can tell you no one was paying attention to it for most of that time. That is why it took so long.

No hard feelings here, of course. We're allowed to have different opinions but I definitely don't think "it happened before" is an argument/valid point.
