I do understand that alt accounts and story services could be affected. However, people should be motivated to finish the story themselves, or alternatively, the price for story services could increase. Implementing this would also have a positive side effect. It would reduce alt accounts farming event islands without even having finished half of the story. It was intentional that I didn't mention that part initially, but overall, the benefits heavily outclass the negatives in my opinion. For me, the shortcut "PRO" refers to the fact that the game should be challening, not easy. "If you don't want your Astrella Day 1 experience ruined, then simply don't look up a guide for it, such things will always exist." yes, but the game shouldn't be designed arround making rushing the default. Astrella was just an example, since it will be the new region for those of us who have already finished all the currently available regions. But for brand new players, that initial experience starts in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. In the past, there used to be play time requirements before you could obtain specific things, though those were eventually removed. I assume the staff members who originally implemented them envisioned an environment where players would actually spend time in the game rather than rushing through everything. As I have said many times, for me, this is an actual game, and not just a battle simulator where you want to skip the story and use shortcuts or purchases to immpediately get the Pokemon or Items you want. Doing that removes the entire point of the gameplay and the grinding aspect, it takes away the hard player experience.

Hello everyone, I would like to suggest the addition of level caps. The idea is that people should not be using overleveled Pokemon that are not their OT to rush through the gyms and finish the story. Some players, after unlocking the 4th gym, they lend or buy level 100 Pokemon and go through the whole game in a very short time, which is sabotaging the effort staff members spend to create that content. Over the years, it has become easier and easier for new players to complete the story. Difficult requirements and grinding milestones (like the level 80 Rattata) were removed, leaving only a fraction of that original challenge (like unknown Pokemon levels in some battles). But it's supposed to be challenging, not effortless. When Astrella releases, I wouldn't want the experience ruined by Day 1 guides explaing how to rush through it, or a Day 1 Astella Story Service either. That would undermine years of hard work by the staff team and destroy the thrill of experiencing content for the first time. If some player wants to grind their OT Pokemon to level 100 it is okay, but if it is not their OT and they do not have the corresponding badge for the corresponding level range, then the Pokemon should not obey their Trainer. It is like that in the handheld games as well, and it feels like something that PRO should have always had. Players should spend some time in the game, enjoy it and expore not just skip it. It would also be a learning experience for them for the post game, which can be challenging for some people, so they could learn and get used to it. It makes the game more interesting.

+1 but about the points system is not really needed, just a rework of the Pokemon and Items you can encounter. Maybe some new places as well, so we would have to explore and find that that area had added a dig spot or headbutt. Also an exclusive battle background for headbutt and an exclusive battle background for dig spots, that doesn't appear anywhere else. And maybe the trees and dig spots could use a rework of how they look in the overworld, to be more alive and nice.

I like the first idea about the monthly task, but not the rewards because they are too much OP and it's not needed to be shown in trainer card. But I don't like that much the second idea.

Hey, it wouldn't affect the grinding part at all, since new excavation sites would probably need X amount of points as requirement before players can access them. New excavation sites are wanted from the community for a long time, and probably would be added at some point. But idk if that would be in the near future since we already got an excavation rework recently.

Hello everyone, I would like to suggest that similar to how when we use the Inspect command with Reborn Bot and it shows the duration of MS, that it would also please show if we have active BMS and how much time it is left. This would save us some time from going to check with the NPC , which is immportant since BMS lasts only 72 hours. That way we could organize and plan our hunts better as well. It would not affect players who do not have discord, since they could still check at the NPC. Thanks in advance! Kind Regards, Lugario

I don't think this will ever be implemented because it's players responsibility to tracker their encounters and there are already many trackers out there. But yes I agree that it would be cool to have an in-game tracker encounter that would track in which map how many encounters with percentage we encountered or otherwise as well to select a Pokemon and see your encounters with that Pokemon for which map and have accurate results because probably if it will be in-game integrated it won't need ocr screen reader, and the data to be saved in your account and be able to see them on whatever device you logged in. But I don't agree with the link in chat thing.

-1 this AI UI does not fit PRO. The only addition I would like in Player Inspect would be to have birthday there.

-1 Battles Passes ruin a lot of games and I would not like to be added in PRO.

Hello everyone, there are some Mapping Bugs at Mt. Summer Exterior 2. Arrow 1: Color transition on the tree leaves. Arrow 2: Looks like burned pixels/colors. Arrow 3: The colors there seem also pixelated and out of order. And for the tree on the left as well. Could you please have a look at it? Thanks in advance! Kind Regards, Lugario

I don't think the odds are like that, I think they are higher but we can't really know since they are not revealed. I don't like the idea of sacrificing forms that you earned by grinding and hunting for hours. And many people will get disappointed when they loose their forms and don't receive anything back in the end. If you had a whole week to hunt forms, and then show them to NPC without sacrifice to check how many IVs they have in total, and after XY amount of Forms IVs to be able and enter the area to hunt Blacephalon / Guzzlord would be better.

Hey, just so I am sure I understand correctly, do you mean Pokemon that can have a HW form or do you mean the actual form? Because if it is the actual form encounter, they are already hard to encounter and it would not worth it to sacrifice them for a chance to hunt Blacephalon / Guzzlord for another chance to encounter their form.

If we have the option to choose if the information is shared or not, and be able to change it at anytime, then I'm okay with that.

-1 I understand the need to want to know something like that, but we should also respect the privacy of the owner. They may have bought it, or maybe it is from an alt account they don't want to share, or for whatever reason, and we should respect that.

Okay, that is good to know if true. Thanks. I still do think it could be useful for Pokemon like Hisui evolutions tho, because the addition was not there always, and people have a Pokemon that has a Hisui variant and maybe the want to change it but they can't. And I have also seen people that did a wrong evolution accidentally and were sad afterwards because they could not reverse it. If there was an item for that, maybe for example to have a 24 hours cooldown and that you have a chance to fix that in the first 24 hours, it would fix those problems and would also prevent abuse and prevent previous evolved Pokemon to affect the market. That is simply wrong. Someone selling a level or ev service, their job is to do that service and not to evolve without asking for permission. They should not make assumptions, they could ask if they are not sure. About the other part of the question, I answered above why I think that.

What about when you give your Pokemon for EV or Level Service and they evolve it without asking you?

Hey there , if you disagree with the idea that's okay, and Hoopa Dungeon was just an example, but about the technical part and being able to code the item, it's something that is possible if they decide to proceed with the idea. So don't worry about any technology issues. Kind Regards, Lugario

Hello everyone, my thoughts on this (as a suggestion) is to keep the current difficulty as it is, but also make it accessible for top25 BCC/FCC , so more people will have access to it, but for less time since those competitions start at the weekend, where the other people would already be able to hunt Blacephalon / Guzzlord before the competitions. Kind Regards, Lugario

-1 I agree with @Ichibann and @Daicamax .

Hello there 🫣, as a casual player and an outside observer, I don't think this change is permanent, but rather something temporary. Currently plenty of new Pokemon have been introduced, and the magic lies in discovering them ourselves rather than simply being handed that information. That's what PRO used to be all about: stepping into the unknown. When you started the game and saw someone with an awesome Pokemon you'd never seen before, or didn't even know existed in the game, it sparked a passion in new players to push through the story and explore. Over the years, it has become easier and easier for new players to complete the story. Difficult requirements and grinding milestones (like the level 80 Rattata) were removed, leaving only a fraction of that original challenge (like unknown Pokemon levels in battles). But it's supposed to be challenging, not effortless. We are playing an MMO, a baseline level of interaction with other players should be expected. But even for those who prefer to play solo, that's completely fine, they can research and discover information on their own, just as others have done. When Astrella releases, I wouldn't want the experience ruined by Day 1 guides explaining how to rush through it, listing spawn locations, or spoiling new features. Naturally, there shouldn't be a Day 1 Astrella Story Service either. That would undermine years of hard work by the staff team and destroy the thrill of experiencing new content for the first time. While older Pokemon and spawn locations have been common knowledge for veterans, they remain completely new to fresh players. In that sense, there is new content here for everyone, regardless of experience. With all that said, I believe the spawn dump will eventually return. Assuming it won't be seems like a hasty conclusion in the long run. This isn't really a vote, just my perspective on the situation. Kind Regards, Lugario

Hey there, according to discord #bug-report channel, client freeze on launch is already fixed but staff are waiting for the new client to stop being flagged as a false positive before they release it. It's a Unity issue: https://issuetracker.unity.com/issues/17020/app-freezes-when-collecting-garbage-and-creating-il2cpp-generic-metadata-off-the-thread Kind Regards, Lugario
