"Mega" is a word that denotes size, just like "Big" or "Small". It's a word that anyone can use, it's not like Digimon copyrighted it :Grin: Besides, there's no "Mega" in Japan's version of Digimon. Mega Level Digimon in Japan is known as Ultimate Level Digimon. Their evo tree is Child -> Adult -> Perfect -> Ultimate. So technically, Pokemon didn't copy Digimon.

Number of encounter doesn't matter, each encounter has its own 1/8192 chance. You're just unlucky. I was unlucky too, spent 4 months without a single shiny, then yesterday I found two shinies in one day.

Re: Ingame BOSS [updated Boss Cooldown Checker 13/11/16] <t>Erika's team is changed again.<br/> <br/> Ludicolo is back, Vileplume is gone.</t>

He bring two Mega-capable Pokemon. But he still only use one Mega per battle, picking which one goes Mega depending on the situation. Using only one Mega per battle is a game mechanic, no one can avoid that without hacking.

The event is back, everyone :D

Re: Clone Event Re-activation <r>Thank you so much, Thor <E>:Grin:</E> <br/> <br/> <br/> (especially for the duration, 1 week only is indeed too short xD)</r>

Oh, that's nice to know, thanks. I only saw Pertubator's chat about it, never saw Thor's chat until now.

I just hope they keep the maps around for next year, instead of wasting them.

That's one good way to do it, I think this is what Deathwing meant with having players "choking the economy" to reduce MS price, in Sabo's thread. The problem is, no one wants to be the ones who "sacrifice" their money/profit for it :Ambivalent:

Oh hey nice :Grin: Maybe the map posted in Twitter will be part of that new permanent map? Better that than wasting the map, it looks really good XD

Oh hey, we're getting a Halloween event after all, it seems. Also, has anyone posted this? This is from Nov 3, but...... Looks like they are already planning to mix Halloween event with Xmas event to save time? Nightmare During Christmas lol

Checking the situation, perhaps? One local online game server I played had staffs who even downloaded bot programs, just so they can dissect and counter it with upgraded game guard.

It's nothing related to luck, I'm just annoyed that sites eat up too much money now, thanks to MS price xD The Pearls and Nuggets do cover the site entrance fee, though. Thankfully, we don't need MS to get those items.

The halloween special trees have been removed for now, it seems. You might want to put a note about it.

Arcanine can go with multiple different sets (physical, special, mixed) So there are a wide variety of Nature it can use, provided the nature doesn't reduce Speed. So Adamant/Jolly/Modest/Timid/Hasty/Naive/Impish/Lonely/Naughty/Mild/Rash are all good natures for it, though a few are better than the others. But yeah, it seems people are looking for Impish lately.

You're not the only one, there was some talk just recently regarding the sites being bugged as no rare Pokemon shows up for weeks, even with MS. https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=51929 One staff said excavation site will be revamped soon, but with multiple staffs leaving and halloween event being extremely late, I have a feeling the revamp will be pushed back even later, perhaps we won't see any revamp until they're done with xmas event, if we even got a new one. Though the biggest problem isn't the spawn - it's the fact that having active MS is needed for sites if you want to have a chance at getting some of the rarer Pokemon. With MS being 600k-1m each, and this weird spawn bug happening for seemingly no reason, sites has become no longer worth it to do. You practically need to be rich enough to buy MS to do sites. And let's not forget that sites themselves are also a money sink.......

True that, I just remembered about the amount of Pokemon that can learn rocks, as well as Focus Sash. Still, it is OU for a reason. And it seems GF think that reason is enough to drive Gale Wings down to the ground.

120 base power STAB priority move with 100 accuracy and no other drawback besides recoil, is anything but not broken. There's a reason why it was widely hated - it is basically an instant win button in most cases that forced everyone to carry rocks, and yet Smogon refuse to ban it.

Would be nice, considering we have a bit of drop in the amount of players lately, should be fine putting it back, right? IIRC one of the reason it was taken out was because of too much players at that time.

Less players, less sellers, higher prices. In January, the MS' price was actually going the other way, and as far as I remember, it was for about 90k$ for few days. It never stopped to raise since. Bots or not lately, they aren't the main reason prices are going high, only (or at least mainly) greed. Real 100% human greed. Anyway, as you're probably aware, many staff members left quite recently; in order to be able to deal with such a devastating wave of botters that we can't help but read about it all over the forums every 30 minutes, they'd probably need to recruit and form new staff beforehand. :) Or people are just over exaggerating, but that I can't know, I don't pay much attention to others' ingame wanderings I do think bots have a hand in this. Maybe not the main reason, but they do play a part in controlling MS market. You see, with the insane amount of pokedollars they got, botters wouldn't mind selling and buying MS for 1m, they got back the money easily anyway. As long as there are rich botters, MS price will never go back to 150k-300k.

Gengar losing Levitate is hilarious It's like the AI of this game already predicted it, hence NPCs always using EQ on our Gengar Primarina's HA sounds (lol) useless since based on description alone, it seems to not boost the power of those moves, just changing their type...... What's the point in having STAB Hyper Voice when you have STAB Surf lol. Pretty much the only difference is that Hyper Voice doesn't hit teammate, meaning its only use is in Double Battle. I forgot what was the name of the IRC channel that Kaphotics used for talks regarding datamining, if I remember I would've go there and asked him about whether the ability boost power or not...... Wimp Out, as we already knew, belongs to Wimpod. Guess who has Emergency Exit? ITS EVOLUTION. They basically gives it the same ability, just under new name........what was the point of that awesome-looking evolution if it's still a wimp

Perhaps try reporting them in the Report Center subforum if you are very sure they are bots? And yeah, 1 person running 10 bots is quite scary. If there are 10 botters each running 10 bots, that's already 100 bots, which is already almost somewhere between 1/4 to 1/6 of the current population in a server. If each bot gets 200k pokedollar per day, that's a total of 2m pokedollar per day just from a single botter. Not to mention the rare Pokes they got......

So basically, every 3 months, players are able to re-catch the legendary at the cost of their current legendary?

Last time I saw it being used, the damage calculation is WAY off, it's WAY too strong. Not sure if it's already fixed.

True that being patient is worth it :Shy: But the problem is........ Current MS price is what, 700k-900k? Cheapest would be, say, 550k-650k, which is still more than double what the good price used to be (200k-300k). 650k might be seen as "cheap" compared to the current price, but it's still way too much for a lot of players :Crazy: Though, the biggest problem is the players themselves. Players want the price to drop, but in the Trade channel, there are: - Not enough buyers asking for lower price - Not enough sellers willing to sell at much lower price to get bigger profit via having more buyers (like I said before somewhere else, selling 3 MS for 300k in 1 hour has bigger profit than selling 1 MS for 700k in 1 day) - Too much greedy sellers, especially the ones with paypal access. If only we have more players willing to be patient and keep asking for lower price, and more sellers willing to do the second point above, the MS price would have been more easily regulated. Anyway, regarding the "staff action" topic, staffs HAVE interfered with MS price before. Older players would remember that during last year December, the price of MS sank to as low as 60k-90k due to item duping. They stopped the duping and the dupers, but it doesn't really change the sunken MS price, as no one other than the staffs knows how much MS stock are still on the market, especially with the coin shop essentially still providing endless stock of MS anyway. So the staffs temporarily removed MS from coin shop, causing the price to rise as no MS in coin shop makes people realize the stock is dwindling.
