I have a few theories for why PRO is losing players. I've been playing since blue was created but that account got banned by chappy.
It's a mix of all these so I can't say it's mainly one or the other.
1.) You have the new games coming out.
2.) Most players work and have school.
3.) The game is not being advertised at all.
4.) The community is not as connected as it used to be. I seriously believe everyone is so distant now. All chat is barely used on yellow.
5.) There are other free pokemon mobas that have better perks and benefits.
6.) The creators shane, chappy, red, they male the game too pg and used to make the mods super strict. They need to make a setting that can censor words and uncensor words.
7.) They need to listen to their community, I played a pokemon game on roBlox where they gifted polemon if you used a code but they didn't give u the code. You had to solve puzzles and do quest.
8.) Add a daily quest system. I'm sorry but I get bored doing the same thing every day signing in. They should have added a actual questline. I understand you want to be just like the games but this game needs something to make it stand out.
9.) Finally the players need to stop changing the market prices on items. Ms used to be 120k now it's over a million. I understand prices with change but it's not even fair anymore. You literally spend the whole month making money just to pay for the ms. There's no profit from it. Mods need to do something about that.
These are my opinions, if you think they are wrong or right. By all means but this would have made the game enjoyable for me.
