good guide, that's a ridiculous amount of trainers.

Items can't be restored from a crash, sorry. Edit: The MS should be in your inv somewhere or on your pokemon, but if it's not, it's not going to be added to your account.

Clarification, I'm not against the idea of client side messages to specific players. But I wouldn't want to server-wide messages like Player01 caught epic weedle!!! or Player01 just beat the kanto elite four!! Messages that only go to individual players such as: You caught a weedle with x iv attack y iv defense..... and it's nature is IMPISH. That would be nice. Runescape sucks because if someone gets some major achievement, they force every player on the server to see the accomplishment. KRYPTOS JUST GOT LEVEL 99 FISHING!!! << lol

the server isn't being ddos'd

Right, because red recently went down before red, then blue went down.. blue came back up, and red is still down. Both you say? Okay.

Took me less than two hours to level a rattata to 100. I saw hundreds of people when I got to Hoenn yesterday... I even got a shiny rattata out of the whole thing. With the amount of time it takes to construct a forum post, you could have probably had one at 50 minimum. I almost guarantee the gating mechanism is in place for server stability. If everyone immediately went to Hoenn, the servers would have not been able to handle it. Besides, this is one of the least grindy tasks I've had to deal with in this game... Staff confirmed the gating mechanism is in place for server stability. It's less of a 'troll' and more of a 'gimmick' as a solution to the problem you described.

No one is 'mad'. Tons of people on red are leveling and I haven't seen anyone complain. maybe once in a blue moon 1 person complains and makes themselves sound like a fool. The requirement makes sense, from a tech solution standpoint as a buffer. Not even sure what this thread....

what if his name is NPC and it's an inside joke.

If you have a pokemon with 'frisk' you can see if the grimer is holding a black sludge. I have one on red I don't plan to use because I have 8 leftovers.

honestly this sounds a lot like runescape. I haven't played runescape since middle school when I was like 15, but I know nowadays they announce when someone gets a certain skill or achievement. It sounds more annoying than helpful.

Awesome guide. I was so lost, I had no idea the requirement was a level 100 rattata until this video!

I think 1 Week.

Stop crying about getting a level 100 Rattata. It's a requirement to increase stability. My Rattata is no ordinary Rattata.

You can unfriend people in your friend list. it's in your social tab.

Try rebooting your client. You might have also lost data from a server crash.

Stand up honest guy right here, going out of his way to ensure someone doesn't think he got scammed. Awesome.

I think it would be hard to speed up the game for some, but not others, because of the way the server receives and sends info to sockets.

^ "It's impossible" ^ No it's not. They could reset the timer for him, but they won't. Because once they start making exceptions, then people will complain if they selectively make exceptions. In the long run, it creates a ton of work, so it's better to just not roll back/reset data. It's not their fault that the servers crash all the time. The crashes are unexpected and can't be helped. If I were you I'd just take your losses and wait the 2 weeks. Actually, technically speaking, it is 'their fault'. The game was originally programmed to handle 400 connections, and Shane changed something so it could accommodate 3600 people. However the base code is not written in such a way that accomodates that many people. It's not that the servers they buy are "bad" and "crash", the code for the server which accepts sockets from our clients isn't perfect. But then again, I see your age is 16. They have jobs and programming to do for a living. So, no one should expect them to program the game 24/7 and fix the server crashes instant... release Hoenn instantly.. etc.

Island Three. Go right after the docks and into the cave. Go through the cave, and come out the other side and it's 100% Dunsparce(1 hp ev).

OP, That's just the way the client functions. You will have to reset the options every time, or keep the client open. You actually can change the client. But you need a fair amount of knowledge and skills in working with this sort of .....concept... Besides that, if you were caught with some type of client modification you would be banned. It's really not worth it, but you can actually change certain settings if you really, really wanted to.

If you have ms, sevii is definitely the best place to look for shellder. Staryu -> diamond domain.

my starter was complete trash in terms of ivs and nature. I also did not have any useful tms at the time, nor did I have tons of rare candies, nor did I want to spend hours grinding for levels. I think a lot of people would agree that morty is hard, and it makes sense why every time I go to johto, I get at least one person... every time... messaging me "hey man you wanna buy level 50/60 johto pokes for ghost gym??" To be completely honest... You're making a strong assumption that I evolved my pokemon early. You're actually wrong about. Without knowing certain things, it's quite silly dependent assumptions. You attempt to criticize me for 'evolving them early', when I didn't. Quite laughable actually. I realized the content difficulty was a huge jump in scale, compared to all previous content, and decided that I would buy a over leveled johto pokemon, gyarados, which conveniently had amazing nature/ivs for like 60k, that I use all the time. I had the ability to trade, so more power to me. I made the rational, practical choice. If you feel like grinding for hours to beat morty, more power to you. However I thought it was a huge time sink-hole, and opted against it.

Would you mind share moveset and strategy? ^^ I will please to add it to guide I beat Johto E4 With Krookodile and Gyarados. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If he doesn't reply, assume he used Kingdra, ability doesn't really matter.. most likely sniper.. running dragon dance/waterfall/outrage/rest. DD boosts waterfall/outrage. Rest heals, and Kingdra probably has lum equipped every time. Krookodile running moxie ability. Crunch, Earthquake, Stone Edge/Rock Tomb/, Outrage.

I had no problem with just a cyndaquil up untill the ice gym (7th) you should link or post your pokemon team aswell. my starter was complete trash in terms of ivs and nature. I also did not have any useful tms at the time, nor did I have tons of rare candies, nor did I want to spend hours grinding for levels. I think a lot of people would agree that morty is hard, and it makes sense why every time I go to johto, I get at least one person... every time... messaging me "hey man you wanna buy level 50/60 johto pokes for ghost gym??"

I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for your hard work. As someone who is interested in computer networking, as well as someone who has taken courses on it, I understand that it is a complex thing (sockets and all), especially for a volunteer-made/fan-made game. I was actually awake.. 2 nights ago?? thinking about the server and how [PRO] handles connections... etc. Geeky stuff. Even if I get my Cisco-Cert, I'm not sure I'd know how to program a game server that handles so many connections. Who knows though. Anyway thanks.
