IGN: teerav Current rating: 309 Season you were on ladder: -/- Vote: Keep the rule. Reason: Higher probability of new or inexperienced players matching against veterans. Guild rankings would be completely skewed by guilds with multiple alt accounts -- this stems into way more problems like guilds refusing new players because they want more alternative accounts in their guild to have higher guild ranking, making it harder for new players to join veteran guilds. Other than guild rankings, there is literally nothing competitive about guilds in PRO. Introducing this rule would completely destroy its legitimacy in every way. Higher probability of win-trading abuse. Terrible feeling for players who miss ladder because a few players make ladder with multiple accounts. Sure, a player should be rewarded if they make multiple accounts in ladder but simply alienates others. This will eventually decrease competition in the long run. How can you talk about guild trophies in your opening line then add on "you don't really get anything for a higher position" later on in your statement? Like saying "hey I care about this issue" then next paragraph you say, "actually I dont care." EDIT: Anyone voting to remove the rule with the reasoning, "I want to test teams but am too scared" or "I dont want to lose rating on my main account by testing teams" has competitive anxiety. <https://www.sports-training-adviser.com/competitiveanxiety.html> Its a real thing and *lots* of people have it. However, just because lots of people have competitive anxiety is not an excuse to ruin the competitive integrity of an MMO. PRO is so different from Showdown, League, etc. I agree we need a way to test teams without constant need to beg friends or guildmates to battle, but removing the rule to solve that is a lazy solution. The better solution is to enforce pvp rules in unranked so it becomes a viable practice tool for competitive players. Reward people for using the unranked queue in some way to bring some life into it, like 2k pokedollars, which is probably the amount of gold you would gain leveling in cerulean cave for 5 minutes.18 points

Hello guys, with the upcoming trophies for guilds and first rank in solo ladder I was thinking a lot about PvP. Many former PvP players have/had a problem with the alternative accounts rule in PRO. It feels that PRO got less competitive after it was added. This was mainly due to the limited possibilities to test teams and that made PvP less enjoyable for many users. They were/are only able to test teams at the start of a season or with a rating loss which can be very frustrating. The unranked queue is pretty much dead and not usable for that. So I want your opinion about following; I want to change the rule so that you are allowed to use alternative accounts but you are not allowed to have more than one account on ladder at the end of a season. You don't have to lose intentionally to do so but can simply ask a staff to remove it. If not a punishment will follow. Many people might complain about the guild rating but in all honesty, you don't really get anything for a higher position on it and if someone is willing to make the effort to play on multiple accounts then he should be rewarded as everyone is allowed to do the same. IGN: Current rating: Season you were on ladder: Vote: Reason: You are only allowed to vote if you have at least 200 rating in the current season or were on ladder at the end of a season. Qeight edit: The following rules would still apply:12 points

IGN: GlogS Current rating: 533 Seasons you were on ladder: At least the last two seasons and some more than that. Vote: Keep the rule. Reason: It's not going to do anything for the PVP envoirement, at all. The only difference is whether you're being gatekept by an alt account with 1 rating or their main account. I could get high rating early season and use the remainder of the season attempting to keep other players away from that rating. You can easily test teams on your main account... it's not like you'd be going around playing teams that don't have a chance of winning if you believe this rule should be removed anyways... or well, I'm not sure how anyone else teambuilds. That's not to mention what would happen to the guild rankings, I'll go with what teerav said.6 points

IGN: navneeth Current rating: 1 //not playing any pvp lately since there's no competition just some noobs spamming all day. Season you were on ladder: 4 times top 10 on ladder Vote: Remove the Rule Reason: Bring back the old PvP environment ty.5 points
-
IGN: Fabion Current rating: 469 Season you were on ladder: I ve been more than 10 times on ladder, the last time was 3-4 months ago can't really remember. Vote: HELL NO! Keep the rule as it is. Reason: If you want to test teams ask your friends or guildmates to do a friendly match, being able to pvp in more than one accs would destroy the fairness in the Ladder. Many will play in 2 or more accs to feed their main acc (which happened a lot before the rule I personally know people who did this and never got punished) , others will use low rating accounts just to make their enemies in ladder drop and others will abuse it to raise their guilds rating.5 points

IGN: PreHax Current rating: 1 Season you were on ladder: Jan 3, 2017 / Nov 22, 2016 (so back when the rule didn't exist) Vote: Remove the Rule Reason: you should be able to test your teams, new Pokemon you trained or just have some fun in PVP without risking loosing your hard earned rating.5 points

IGN : StarkRey Current rating : No idea. Season you were on ladder : Last month and multiple times before. Vote : Remove the rule. Reason : As most of the old players might see, PvP and ladder is getting less and less competitive since a few months, level is decreasing and people randomly spamming hundreds of games manage to get on ladder somehow nowadays, which absolutely wasn't happening before. Old PvP environnment was simply more competitive with more players playing on alt accounts. That could also bring some diversity to the meta, with good players testing different teams rather that the copypasted ones we can face from the same players that we face 3 times in a row since there isn't anyone on ranked queue. Just bring back the good and old pvp environement rather than keeping the trash one we have today, ty.4 points

IGN: Altruis Current Rating: 472 Seasons you were on ladder: cant remember it, got 2 times on ladder Vote: Remove the rule yes unranked pretty much dead, and unlike showdown we cant reset rating or win ratio in Pro, so if you wanna to test team with main account and lose like you said it will be very frustating with current ratio, so if we can use alt acc, it will make pvp more enjoyable again.4 points

IGN: Yakuzah Current rating:307 Season you were on ladder: 2 times mo th ago. Vote:Keep the rule. Reason: if you remove this rule the game becomes more autosufficient, you no need anybody to test, you can make your guild take ladder easier (some players with alts could make 800/1000 points with only 2 accs), etc. I think we need search the way to make people play unranked battles, maybe adding pvp coins reward too or adding scores for unranked battle (not points only Win/loses).3 points

IGN: dakivid Current rating: 200ish Season you were on ladder: a lot, too lazy to find them Vote: Keep the rule. Reason: Removing this rule does not contribute ANYTHING to the current PvP environment. The "Unranked Battle Queue" was introduced because of the fact that you cannot test teams in PvP anymore that easily. But then again, how many players use said unranked queue? Right. Maybe 1% of the community, if even. This feature is simply not needed by ANYONE. People just test teams while ranking up, adjust their teams during said process, and are not interested in the unranked queue. There are very little things that may influence the current PvP meta, which is the addition of new Pokemon, that actually can do something in the game (which is really hard because every Gen6 Pokemon was released, outside of a few Legendary Pokemon).2 points

IGN: Joguar Current rating: 450+ Season you were on ladder: Last seasson top 16 Vote: Keep the rule Reason: People with high qualifications in the top, will use alternative accounts to put them in the top too, they will take away the chance for a new person who aspires to reach the top.2 points

IGN: Exclusivez Current rating:400 ( I will finish ladder :D) Season you were on ladder: Many seasons finished in top 25 Vote: Keep the rule Reason: If there is going to be incentives added for making ladder/guild ladder ( trophies ect), why would people be able to create 4 accounts. That makes no sense to me. I dont see the point at all. If you want to test a team ask a friend/guildmate to do a battle with you. Or test it on showdown, or test it in the beginning of the season where the points dont actually matter. This will skew all guild ladder ratings and force "new" or inexperienced players OUT of top guilds because the guilds will be FULL OF ALT ACCOUNTS. Instead of 100 unique players, there will only be 25. Very toxic IMO. And of course, there would be so much boosting. If someone is on their alt account and "just so happen" to match against a guildmate who is on their MAIN accout, of course the alt account is just going to give them a free win. There will be way too much boosting. Very bad idea2 points

IGN: Aggravatings Current rating: 421 Season you were on ladder: Sept 2018 Vote: Keep Reason: Removing the role will only make it "ok" for the people already doing it, and make boosting easier than it is (Although the recent cut-down on a couple of boosters in ladder is nice) . Because of the trophies being implemented, guilds have slightly more motivation to go and try for top 3. By allowing this, essentially 25 people in 1 guild of 100 can take top, which is very unhealthy for the community. 100x250 is nearly, if not, double what Fenix get at the end of a season. If everyone is doing it, you will notice that you'll see the same team on at least 4 accounts, making the meta a bit stale. Yeah there may be different usernames fighting you, but the rate ofactual amount of new people coming into the community hasn't changed. A lot of statistics will be completely screwed because of the huge wave of people making 1, 2, or 3 accounts, making it harder to advertise PRO. I'm not going to lie, i already find it hard that PRO has 1.m+ unique players because of the fact that we have access to alts. For the last thing, veteran guilds will be left in the dust by this "guild meta" because they value their players for more than just their rating.2 points
-
IGN: Benikisaki Current rating: 252 Season you were on ladder: July 2017 Vote: Keep the rule Reason: There are many reasons which have already been stated, but I think this could be settled with one thing: YOU HAVE UNRANKED TO TEST TEAMS, IF THE COMMUNITY IS NOT ABLE TO EXPLOIT SUCH USEFUL FEATURE, THEN IT'S YOUR PROBLEM. I always try to use it but nobody does, so this complain doesn't stand, it's obviously just to boost ones guild with multiple accounts. For the rest I also agree with Teerav.2 points
-
IGN: Ultron Current rating: 205 Season you were on ladder: Dont remember Vote: Remove the rule Reason: Is a good idea for testing team without losing rating, this can be very useful for new pvp players and people who want to make the effort of playing in multiple accounts.2 points
-
IGN: Leonidas92 Current rating: 212 Season you were on ladder: None Vote: Remove the rule Reason: I started playing pvp pretty late, so like a lot of things were needed to catch up. Back when I was able to pvp on 2 accounts, one main, one for testing team, I improved pretty fast ( like in 2 months , I went from 200+ rating guy to 400+ rating guy ). And it's true that the unranked pvp has been dead for the last 3 , 4 months2 points

Hello there and welcome to the Mirage Island Guide ! This guide will introduce you to Mirage Island and will help you to understand how it works and how to reach it I really hope you enjoy it ! Be Hoenn Champion Have NPC Old Man Jerry seeing Mirage Island Mirage Island is a mysterious island located in Hoenn. It order to reach Mirage Island, a player must first visit Pacifidlog Town and talk to the NPC Old Man Jerry, who has a 1/12 (or 8.33%) chance of telling the player that he sees Mirage Island. If he says that he cannot see the island, then the player must wait until 24 hours has passed, and then can try their luck again. However, if the player is lucky and Old Man Jerry says he can see the island, Route 131 to the east of town will be replaced with the alternate map Route 131 B. Traveling north on that route will lead the player to Mirage Island. The player has 24 hours from the moment when Old Man Jerry first sees the island to explore it, and can come and go as they please. Once 24 hours have passed, Route 131 B will transform back into the regular Route 131 and if the player is in Mirage Island at that time, they will be forcibly removed at the next area transition. The first thing to do is to reach Pacifidlog Town, in Hoenn. It can be reached going west of Route 131. Once you are in Pacifidlog Town you will have to look for the NPC Old Man Jerry. Once you have found the NPC Old Man Jerry, speak to him. He has 1/12 (or 8.33%) chance to see Mirage Island. If he will see it, he will tell you that the Island is visible today. If he won't see it, the cooldown is 24 hours. If the NPC Old Man Jerry will see the Island, go back to Route 131, which will be transformed in Route 131 B. Once you are in Route 131 B, go North. Keep going North until you will find the Island. Now, take the entrance and you will find yourself in Mirage Island Cave Passing from Mirage Island Cave, it is possible to reach the Summit of the Island In Mirage Island, it’s possible to find rare and exclusive Pokémon. In the cave, players will have the chance to find exclusive Fossil Pokémon to catch. Other than that, at the Summit of the map, there’s the possibility of finding Zorua. Mirage Island offers players the chance of healing pokemon,by paying a fee of 2,500 pokedollars, by talking with the Nurse Joy. It is even possible to check the length of the Black Medallion Boost by talking with the Psychic Yukki Furthermore, on Mirage Island, it is possible to find the new damage-reducing berries. You can find a list of the damage-reducing berries, and their effect, in the > Complete Berry Guide < The cooldown to pick them is 2 days. [spoiler=Damage-Reducing Berries Obtainable] [spoiler=Damage-Reducing Berries Obtainable] Occa Berries Passho Berries Wacan Berries Rindo Berries Yache Berries Chople Berries Kebia Berries Shuca Berries Coba Berries Payapa Berries Tanga Berries Charti Berries Kasib Berries Haban Berries Colbur Berries Babiri Berries Roseli Berries Chilan Berries [spoiler=Berry Location] _______________ Hope this guide will be able to help someone, have a great day !

PVP Council Hi, I’m NJNP. I’m mostly known for my team building and high level tournament play on smogon. I’ve dipped into the competitive scene here in the past and I’ve fully immersed myself into pro after some push to come back. That is the goal of this post: to improve the pvp scene of pro. On smogon, most decisions especially competitive ones are made by a group of people. That group is called a council. That group generally is of some of the best players in their competitive format and has good knowledge on the meta-game. They proceed to make sure the metagame is in proper order and deal with problematic elements of the metagame as they appear. The council is generally known for holding suspects. The council is to see if these Pokémon are guilty of being killers of the meta or are they innocent and perfectly fine for the meta. The decision to what should be suspected is single handily up to the council but heavily influenced by the community. The council doesn’t suspect something that does not have community interest or concern. Generally before something is decided to be suspected, the council asks the community their opinions before they move forward with a decision. I feel a council would be great for pro pvp as megas are coming and legendaries are becoming more accessible. The council will aid the community in making decisions for the betterment of pvp. I’d want the council also to aid in creating an official viability rankings for pvp. I’m not sure exactly why one hasn’t been commissioned in the past but I think it would make sense for players regarded as the best at pvp to be able to help others understand what is good in the meta-game. I have 2 council concepts that can be decided or at least give an idea on the set up. Concept #1: 2 CO Leaders 1 From Silver 1 From Gold 3 Council Members 5 Members In Total Concept #2: 1 Leader Representing Both Servers 4 Council Members 5 Members In Total I’d like to hear people’s opinions on bringing a council to pro pvp and if anyone has any questions feel free to post them below and I’ll answer them.1 point

IGN: Zinsmiter Current Rating: 1 Season you were on ladder: The very first ranked season in PRO and more. Example: November 2016 according to the Reborn bot among others. Vote: Remove the rule Reason: The rule restricts the ability to team test and have fun while also being competitive. Showdown is a great example of people playing like this. Many people wanna mess around on one account and take the game more seriously on another. It's not even a discussion whether this is the case or not. I've gone into detail with this more in the past so i shouldn't really have to write it all up again.1 point

Hi there. You can try to battle Giovanni with level 45s, and they will most likely be able to defeat him. You can even try with level 40s or lower if you have super effective pokemon. His pokemon are: Rhydon, Onix, Persian, Nidoking. Try to use potions when needed, and feel free to train your Pokemon on Route 7! Let me know if you need anything else.1 point

IGN: Zyreh Current rating: 448 Season you were on ladder: 02/2018 Vote: keep the rule Reason: The real problem is the amount of players that will abuse of this system (teerav's post explain it better) and about teams testing We already have a feature called unranked matches that exist but that no1 want to use. If you really want to make the pvp more competitive you can start by adding real prices for the first 3 in ladder for example, in this moment the difference between the first and the last place of the ladder is only a few coins, that's why many players don't compete to get first place but they rather just getting a place1 point

Vote : Remove the rule. I have stopped playing PRO for a while but this an topic that I really want to say my opinion about this. I have been an active pvp player since 2016,2017. Always on top ladder, even with multiple accounts. But during the time when I come back to PRO in 2018, I don't playing PvP that much anymore, rarely or even a month without PvP. I still loving PvP a lots, always try to build a team, try to find a cool pvp pokemon... but I just don't have enough brave to bring it on ranked. It's seem weird for somebody but that thing actually happened to me. It's so stressful on a ranked where almost everyone know each others And I don't want to battle with someone who know exactly I am. A win is a win but in pokemon skillful is not a thing that 100% bring you to the victory. You will need a lots of testing, some battles experience and a bit of luck. I always asking how far can my pokemon team go on the ladder and that's why always use my alt for testing purpose. When you are high enough, you don't want to get risk to find the answer because you can't use 1 same team repeat and repeat to beat a same guy. "I'm at 400 rate but I just lose to a guy, my team can't beat him. What should I change on my team". What will you do in that situation, trying new team and get risk of your rating? I am not a person who can play hundreds of battle to get in the ladder. I never have more than 100 wins on each season to get in the 25 or even top 5 because I know my team will work after lots of testing on alt. Moreover, PvP on alt actually is where I really enjoy the laddering. I don't have to care about my rating, about losing to some dumb*ss or making a stupid mistake like ppl usual do. Everything have 2 sides, but I think ppl just overthinking too much about removing the rule. Like almost every ranked system in online game, there are no rules against laddering with multiple account. It's like a real challenge tbh. Even if I'm at high rating then I matching with someone's alt at 1 rating and I'm about to lose to him. Why do I have to complain about that, It's a fair gameplay, I lost because I deserve that and ofc it's not because of using new account for laddering. The only thing that you can complain is the matching system. And if he actually that good then he will not staying at 1 rating for sure. About boosting Guild's PVP rating. The answer is too obviously. New rule: none of you pvp accounts are in the same guild in the end of season no matter what rating you are...1 point

IGN: Ebereur Current rating: 376 Season you were on ladder: July/ June/May/April/March 2018 Vote: Keep the rule Reason: One of the reason why i took a break, loosing to a high ladder rerool with low rating who trying to snipe you multiple times. Some guild like "cheating" and they ll abuse the rules even if its sanctionned AND Strong guild ll become even stronger and small guild ll be crush. Much more reason but i saw it above don't need more words1 point

IGN : CobraMK Current rating 519 Season you were ladder Like 5 times. Vote Keep rules.

IGN:Exadrill Current rating:306 Season you were on ladder:t.t Vote:keep the rule Reason: I think this would make ladder more of a monopoly than it already is. Plus I agree, if you want to test teams or just have a friendly battle ask a friend or a guild mate, go out into the chats and meet new ppl. Ranked PvP shouldn't be smthg you can go light headed, it's a place where gear is involved and that's good. You cannot be brave if you have no fear.1 point
