The original plan was to have 6 in each role (besides Admin and Developer) when Trade Mod was still there; so disagreeing with you on that, the staff team can be as big as 50 people, would be even better if there were suitable candidates. Make that 500+ then. You know what is meant in that post, but you decide to completely unsee it just to have an answer.

I disagree. While everyone might have a chance to become staff, you cannot have 50+ staff members at once. It's not the same with tournaments. And as you said, there are certain requirements to be a staff member. Good English etc. Not everybody has that.

Yeah. I personally wouldn't even mind if you had a shiny perfect IV Mew, Celebi, Jirachi.

Well the staff don't exactly use commons do they? Nothing wrong with me giving the example of the rarest Pokemon in game, which a staff member also uses... The most common staff Pokemon I've seen that exists is a Multiscale Dragonite and that's also pretty rare even though it's farmable. And I never said "it's impossible". It is definitely possible with luck, you can even get 10 epic ones in a row. However, it's unlikely. Good on you for being lucky, but most aren't that lucky and still don't even have a 'decent' h.a. Fletchling after 720 hours of playing (4 hours per day for 6 months). Like myself, 1700+ hours, headbutting almost every day. I don't know why you brought up "2-4% damage difference" since I didn't disagree with anything regarding that.

And I can assure you not. 8 months on main + 4 months on alt. So effectively 12 months. Headbutting daily for a Fletchling. I have got 2 h.a. Fletchlings in that time. One of them is Calm (had good IVs too, such a waste), the other one is Hardy with average IVs. Besides Fletchling, which is limited, I really can't be sure about getting a +29 IV extremely rare. Especially with a hidden ability. I don't have a single one. Got a few 20+ non h.a. ones though. Not trying to argue, just pointing out. I don't mind any of the staff using stuff like 30+ IV hp fire Serperior, h.a. Talonflame, h.a. Amoonguss or whatever. I don't have any problems as long as they're obtainable in some way for normal players.

My thoughts exactly. Wouldn't matter even if they had preferable hidden powers and/or were all 31 IVs since 25-31 IVs don't make a HUGE difference. Because, with luck, anyone can get those (or close).

I disagree. Tournament prizes were obtainable for anyone whereas staff Pokemon may not be. It doesn't matter. There's still only one in the server and they have the same base stats. I see people cry about Tim's Raikou every day and it's the same deal. But I don't know why I'm responding because I wouldn't expect someone with barely any PvP knowledge to understand. Have a nice day. How can you be so sure? While my PvP experience is limited in PRO, I do have a considerable amount of PvP knowledge.

I disagree. Tournament prizes were obtainable for anyone whereas staff Pokemon may not be.

If you used a rare candy, it won't evolve. Gain exp with it during daytime (faint a wild Pokemon/NPC Pokemon) and it will evolve even if it doesn't level up. Btw "daytime" for these kind of evolutions start from 6am or 7am Poketime iirc.

I can't exactly vote on this poll. My opinion is; they should not be allowed to use unobtainables (and may be limited Pokemon such as legendary beasts) in ranked PvP, however I don't see a problem with them using obtainables even if they have perfect IVs.

Such arrogance. Me not PvP'ing till now (just an example) doesn't mean I won't ever PvP. Me not facing a staff Pokemon till now also doesn't mean I'll never face one. I do have the right to have a say about what might affect my game experience. A staff Pokemon could push me straight out of the ladder I worked so hard on. Why should I wait till that happens and not act now? Does that really make any sense to you? Did you comment on the Shadow Tag voting thread? People who have never hunted h.a. Gothitas in their life are voting in that thread. Why should you listen to them? Oh wait, that isn't exactly your problem is it? Whereas this thread directly concerns you. :( No one is demanding anything ridiculous. People are asking staff Pokemon to be banned from PvP with solid enough reasons. "make one that satisfies both parties"? Why exactly should we? The "Pokemon reward for staff members which can be used in PvP" clearly isn't something that satisfies one of the parties. If you really are keen on satisfying both parties, let's hear your suggestion to fix that up. Ridiculous attitude. I have no problems with the staff getting some sort of a reward, because yes, you are helping us. But again, I'm not okay with one of you potentially pushing me out of the ladder I worked so hard for with your unobtainable legendary. Your reward shouldn't affect me or anyone directly. I agree. "Yes, it is unfair. Deal with it." is a far better answer than "no it's not unfair, we helped u guys for 6 months".

im not comparing im saying this is how much youll cry next I didn't see the "ban blissey+regen" thread, my bad. I thought you created this thread because you didn't want Shadow Tag to be banned, but now I see what you mean. And you have a point. Apologies.

Poor attempt, 1/10. There are good reasons for Shadow Tag to be banned. You can't compare it to any of the other stuff you mentioned.

The time changes. Sometimes 20 hours is enough to encounter a shiny, sometimes it takes more than 100 hours. On average, it was around 40-45 hours for me last time I checked, but that's probably gone up by a few hours.

The "600 or less base stats" rule means nothing. It's only a rule put in place to enable staff use their perfect Pokemon. Take Cresselia as an example, it's got 600 base stats but is OP as hell. Same with many others and no one builds teams while considering facing these sorts of Pokemon. Yes, it does take more than just a good Pokemon to climb in PvP. So why have something that no one expects to see? Also worth mentioning is that while your statement is correct, in some cases it might take JUST ONE Pokemon to push someone out of the ladder. How fair is this? I personally don't agree with staff using unobtainable Pokemon in ranked. I may not mind them using perfect obtainables such as 31x6 IV Dragonite, HP Fire Contrary Serperior etc. but using unobtainables is not fair in any way.

Re: All about Hidden Power in PRO <t>Great work on the guide, it's very helpful. Thanks a lot!</t>

Re: Defeat Bosses with the less number of Poke <r><QUOTE author="NicoChan"><s> </e></QUOTE><br/> Thank you for all the info. I totally forgot about maxing out PP, which is a very important detail.<br/> <br/> And yeah I was not entirely sure if Aqua Ring was needed, but still thought I'd have it in there because I didn't know how many Blizzards it would've taken to knock Palkia & Conkeldurr out. Though as you said, there is an opportunity to heal up against Conkeldurr and Hydreigon (Thunder Fang) so I guess Aqua Ring isn't really a must.<br/> <br/> Glad you won.</r>

You could use a Lum Berry actually which would guarantee you to set them up. <br/> <br/> Alternatively you could use something specially bulky and isn't weak to Fighting/Electric/Dragon/Water since that's what Palkia uses.</r>
