Hey There, Gilan Here
First of all, welcome to PRO! For whatever reason, you can only edit your posts in certain sub-sections of the forums. Unfortunately for you--and many others--the Player Introduction section isn't one of those. I'm pretty sure you aren't alone in your feelings about the Viridian Forest Maze, but at least you were able to experience it before the game is actually launched. I hope you have fun, make some new friends, and enjoy your time here. See ya in game. :) PS: Don't forget to report any bugs you may encounter!

Make Sure to Get Your Mount
Hello everyone! By now I'm sure most of you have noticed that Pokemon Mounts are available to all players via the in-game store. In order to help test this feature, the PRO Staff has given every player 300 C (coins). Feel free to use all of them; anything you purchase with these coins will be wiped from your account once testing is complete. If you haven't figured this out yet, don't worry! Here's an extremely simple guide on how to access them: SO... Now that you have a mount, what do you think about it? Do you like it, love it, or hate it? What's your initial reaction? What other Pokemon would you like to see made into a mount? Will you still purchase the bicycle in the game? Don't forget to help the PRO Staff for allowing you to use the mounts. If you find any bugs or glitches with the in-game shop, please report them. Have you found any maps that you haven't been able to use the mount on that you think you should? (You can't use mounts or bikes in caves) Have you had any trouble receiving your mount? Can you find any ways to exploit the store? PRO needs your help to find any of these problems. Thank you. :)

My Introduction
Welcome to PRO, Hassan. I'm sure you'll see plenty of old faces from PokeMMO and meet many new trainers from other communities. Remember to report any bugs you may encounter and don't be afraid to provide any suggestions you may have. If you do think of any suggestions, please use the "search" function to see if anyone has submitted similar ideas in the past. I hope you enjoy your time here! PS: sweet bulba gif :D

Sinnoh
1. Putting an exact time table on dates is really difficult to do. As you know, the PRO staff is working tirelessly to complete Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands in an effort to have them ready for an official launch. After those are complete, the game has launched, and the bug reports start winding down, then I'm sure their focus will move toward additional world content. Unfortunately for you, PRO seems to be progressing chronologically. If this is the case, then you'll have to wait for Hoenn to be completed before they start working heavily on Sinnoh. 2. Some maps are already made and can be accessed by staff members, but they are no where near complete. 3. I'll have to let a staff member answer that. :)

Happiness status
Cerejo, While I do think that seeing this number on the Pokémon's info page would be helpful, there is a quick way to check this number already. Say you're training a Budew to evolve it into Roselia. To check its happiness, simply type /happy (position in party). If Budew is in the first position on your team, then type /happy 1. I hope this helps.

"Start" Map Dialogue Errors
If you have any questions, disagree with anything I've posted, or don't understand what I'm saying, then contact me and we can discuss it. Everyone makes mistakes. All of these issues are on the "Start" Map. 1. This has been changed recently, but I think it should be changed back. Informational sign posts should definitely have periods at the end. Sign posts which are used in this manner should not have them. She isn't just a neighbour who greets people... she's THE Greeting Neighbour. 2. Comma splice. You can't connect two independent clauses with a comma. 3. Compound sentence. 4. Comma splice. 5. Comma splice. 6. Too many periods. <3 7. Comma splice. 8. I think I read somewhere that y'all decided to always capitalize "Pokemon Trainer". 9. These are duplicate images. I'm pretty sure you can combine all three of these to make them easier to read. 10. Comma splice and a suggestion. 11. Comma splice. Start House 1 Map 1. Suggestion. Where I'm from, nobody would say this phrase the way it is written. If it's used this way in other places, then just ignore my suggestion. :D Sorry for the bad LOC. I'm sure you can find it, though. 2. Idiom. Technically, you can still use "was", but you have to change "this" to "that" no matter how you write it. **OR** you can leave it the way you have it if you want Catty Del Rey to give off a foreign vibe. ;) 3. Speaking vs Reading. This one really grinds my gears for some reason.

Any decent MMO's out there?
I played TERA for a few months when the game launched, and it was by far the best game I ever played from that genre. For whatever reason, it went downhill quickly despite being awesome and having thousands of players. The combat system was incredibly fluid--even when i wasn't playing on the best connection. I haven't played since it became f2p, but hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Let me know how it turns out!

Bad Map Linking: Chrono Cross & Resort Gorgeous
I'm combining these two only because they work in tandem with each other. 1. Chrono Cross When you go UP through this link, you're transported to the LEFT side of Resort Gorgeous. 2. Resort Gorgeous When you go LEFT through this link, you're transported to the TOP side of Chrono Cross. Both links technically work fine, but the maps should be edited because it looks bad this way. :/

Things that are not to be introduced in PRO
Are ya saying that coins would be required EVERY time they player uses Fly? If that's the case, that sounds a little steep. What if you made the ability to use it a one-time fee or charged a monthly fee? It shouldn't be a membership perk, but I don't think it should cost as much as membership either.

Guilds. But wait! There's more!
The biggest bottleneck that I see with the implementation of a huge project like this is the limitations, as Gawerty pointed out. It would be amazing to let every guild own their own house, but that is unlikely depending on the requirements to start a guild. I don't really care for the idea of allowing guilds to spend money toward creating their own hunting grounds because it would create a huge disadvantage for solo players and smaller guilds. A few things to think about 1. How important should guilds be to this game? Not everyone is interested in joining a guild, but could we increase activity levels by providing enough guild features without alienating solo players? 2. What should the requirements be for starting an in-game guild? Based on those two questions, I'd suggest something similar to what RoyalHotness originally posted. - Create a map with only a handful of guild houses on it (to start with), some wild grass (spawns TBD), and a few battle areas like the ones in Pewter/Cerulean. - Make the map accessible to all players, but only allow guild members into their own house. - Allow guild members to "buy" decorations for their yard (as well as inside the actual house), and create statues which act as trophies for tournaments won. This would serve as excellent advertising for players looking to join a guild. Simply put, allowing EVERY guild to have a guild house isn't a realistic option. The resources required for something like that (staff manpower, staff time, server bandwidth, etc.) is just too much. But if you limit the number of in-game guilds which can own a house, then you can easily make something like this work. IMO, guilds with houses should be extremely dedicated. Reward the players for their achievements in an aesthetic way, but not in a way which forces players into a guild. Give certain guilds which have been here since the beginning this sort of honor to begin with, and make new guilds earn their house. I could go on for days about topics like this, but I'll stop for now.

Content system and suggestions
1. Lack of content: Nearly all of the NPCs which sell the players TMs are really boring: "Do you want to buy [enter move name here]?" This is an excellent place to add storyline/content/quests. Why does THIS NPC offer THIS move? Not every NPC should have a wall of text, but they're kinda bland in their current state.

Update the Day/Night in the Pokedex.
I wasn't really talking about the Water vs Land Encounters. I think those are fine. I'm just concerned about players who will be confused with the system since we now have morning, day, dusk, and night spawns whereas we originally only had day and night.

Update the Day/Night in the Pokedex.
With the recent overhaul of the spawn system, I think it would be a good idea to show players more information in the Pokedex. If I read Red's recent update correctly, then there are Morning, Day, Late Afternoon, and Night spawns. Currently, the spawns in the Pokedex look like this: The problem is that with only two variables (day/night), the other two spawns aren't clearly depicted. If this is intentional, I hope I can change your mind. :D

Re: Player To Player Daycare System
I think this is a great idea to consider. I've added a few things that I believe would help. All of these suggestions keep the players and staff in mind. Scam reports take up too much time and are sometimes a complete headache. If we minimize the potential for scams, then the entire game runs more smoothly. 1. As an additional safeguard, what if players had to make this type of trade inside the Daycare? 2. I'm interested to see how this would work with players moving from region to region. Maybe require all of the badges to be obtained before allowing players to use this service? 3. Only allow Pokedollars in exchange for daycare. I'm sure some people would want to give "xx" million + a certain Pokemon, but allowing players to trade Pokemon in this manner probably wouldn't mesh well with the daycare coding. 4. Make players set a price per level so they can easily get their Pokemon back whenever they want it. This way the person running the daycare doesn't get paid until they've completed the service---the safest way to do it.

NPC/Script errors
First of all, Royal is doing an excellent job with his reports. I do want to add one other thing. You can't use a comma in this way. Two choices: 1. "I came to visit Brock. He is an old friend of mine." The original dialogue is actually two sentences. Exchange the comma for a period. Orrrrrrrrrrrr... 2. "I came to visit Brock, an old friend of mine." You can keep the comma by removing "he is." This suggestion turns the phrase "an old friend of mine" into an appositive. Either way is correct. <3
