R.I.P. Sadly this is getting more common :( Almost 2h now for yellow and blue...

I wouldn't mind a cap on earned money as long as it only concerns wild Pokemon battles. Basically some sort of counter for money earned through wild battles that resets back to 0 every 24h. As soon as the counter hits a resonable number (like 250k or any other amount 99% of non-bot players wouldn't grind on 1 day) wild Pokemon start to yield 0 cash. With picking a solid number you can limit the daily income per bot without any influence on most players and therefore reduce the bot influence on the economy. Of course this is no permanent solution to botting since they can run multiple bots or change accounts as soon as they hit the cap. But everything that makes it harder for botters without really influencing normal players is a decent idea! On the other hand I'm totally against limiting money through trade or trainer battles.

Is this from today? And thanks for the info!

Just chill and let the staff figure out the current situation. I'd also appreciate some news but it's better to wait and see than to call something "dead" because something happend we can't completely understand.

On yellow Server there is a lot of talk about Halloween Event being canceled due to staff leaving, the delay of the release, as well as due to the pre-event (headbutt) ending. Could we get any updates on that please? I would be satisfied with a simple: "Yes the event will still be released" OR "Sorry because of intern problems there will be no Halloween Event". No hard feelings, I am really thankful for all the stuff is doing and understand that there might be unforseen poblems from time to time. Just a quick update would be great!

I don't mind not making the date. It's way better to release late than not at all or unfinished. Also I don't think that holliday specific events are necessarily the best way to go. Season based events or events based on hollidays within the world of Pokemon have many advantages. The only thing that disturbed and still disturps my gameplay is the lack of information. The announcement of a Halloween themed event raised expectations that the event will hit shortly before or on Halloween. This led to me delaying my progress in wait for the event (-> not continuing to Jotho). Shortly after Halloween, there was information that the team is testing and bugfixing and trying to ship the event asap. This information was far from an exact timeframe but again made the impression that it could be released any day now, what again led to me delaying my progression. I am not aware of any other Halloween event information released since then and I am still crusing through Kanto thinking "What are the chances of the event being released tomorrow? Could I still get most Jotho badges if it hits in X days and I go asap?". Ofc I am partly to blame for that because of my expectations and I don't blame the team for the delay of the event. Patch delays due to bugs are not uncommon in almost any game. Additionally the dev team is working in their free time I'm more than happy and thankful for everything we get (no matter when). But it would be great if the communication aspect would be a little better :)

Any kind of information would be sweet! I finished Kanto on monday and want to go to Jotho since, but I'm afraid to miss a lot of event time due to region swap. I don't know if I gotta reach a certain point in Jotho to participate in the event or what lvl of pokemon I need for the event. Additionally I have no clue when it hits or how long it will be there. Does the event hit in a week or later so I can potentially finish a large part of jotho beforehand or does it hit tomorrow and I'll only have lvl 10s? Will it last months so it doesn't matter if I miss a week or two or will it only last a couple of weeks? I find myself in a weird spot because I want to explore and progress, but the daily possibility of the Halloween event release and the lack of information concerning the event is stopping me. I know there are a lot of problems with releasing information especially ETAs, but at least some vague information (like "probably won't be this week" / "not within the next couple of days") would help a lot.
