Merse

I'm all for the "membership is actually donation" point of view. However, the game is extremely unstable recently and the server is 0-24 full. Mos tof us donated because Shane promised that the server cap will be increased, so we can enjoy the benefits of membership. But we spend most of the time looking at the login screen or waiting for the server to be restarted. I know this is a free project and there were a lot of ironing and bugfixing in the first month, so the staff is definitely working hard, but where is that new server already?

Basically you have to know the strength and weaknesses of your Pokemon. Every nature increases one stat and decreases another (except for certain natures which increase AND decrease the same stat, so they have no effect). Nature is very important. A Poke with 1 IV on speed, but being boosted by a nature that improves speed is faster than a Poke with 31 IV Speed but without a nature boost. What really decides what natures you're looking for is usually based on the attack type of the Poke. Psychic and Ghost types for example use almost exclusively special attacks, so the power of their hits are based on their SPATK stat. As they don't use physical attacks, they don't need their ATK stat at all, so a Modest nature is excellent for them, becasue it increases SATK (which the Poke uses), and decreases ATK (which the Poke doesn't use at all). There are other factors however. For example your Poke may have great attacking skills, but it is considered a slow Pokemon, like Snorlax. In this case you may consider a nature which increases speed, rather than ATK, because Snorlax will have awesome ATK stats, even if its ATK IV isn't boosted by its nature. All in all, every Pokemon has 1-3 natures that can be very useful in battle. It depends on its base stats (how fast/strong/durable that species is in general), its moveset (does it use physical, special, or status moves), and the strategy you want to use it (booster for others, a tank that can tear down everything, a swift attacker that will faint after two hits but one-hits everything). Most of the Pokemon have more than one way to be used, so it's up to you to find a role for them in your team, and you choose the appropriate nature accordingly.

Star Wars 1-6. And I have terrible feeling about SW7....

I'm usually watching the PRO login screen these days, trying to get in... :Angry:

According to my calculations, when a Poke is switched out only half of the XP from fainitning the wild Poke will be distributed between the Pokes involved in the fight. And the XP distribution is based on their level.

And with only 4 Pokes.... You gonna hate Giovanni :D

What's wrong with drag&drop as long as it works? I would be settled with it. On the other hands, there could be some preset buttons to organize boxes like "by level", "by primary type", "by Pokedex #" etc.

Yeah... How am I supposed to play PRO on my mobile phone? :P

That's their problem if they don't read it. By the way, is it so difficult to recruit a new artist? I mean you don't recruit one because it is too complicated to teach him how the graphics in the game are implemented, or you're jsut hoping that the artist gonna return. Needless to say that another great Pokemon MMO's death was the fact that it had unfilled positions in the staff for way too long...

No it wouldn't. Do your teachers allow you to ride your bike in school? :P

Wasn't an auto-reboot system in development a few months ago? What happened to that idea?

This would be really helpful. However I think it would put the server under too heavy load...

Re: Item Locations + discription! [uPDATED: Deep Sea Scale + Dawn Stone] <r>Skarmory in Jotho also can have Metal Coat.<br/> <br/> And I fould dark glasses on a Drowzee in Kanto. Was kinda surprised there <E>:confused:</E></r>

I don't really find it as an issue. I would rather have Hoenn and Sinnoh if they heavily invest into anythong. Especially because as the game advances updates will be fewer and you won't be relying on an auto updater any more.

Re: Sell Banettite Mega Stone <t>And it's not that hard to find it either :P</t>

100k is the BO. Sorry for reacting so slowly, but I had issues with connecting to the PRO forum all week.

Pokemon for sale Shiny Drowzee and a good one too :) Looking for Ralts or evo - Timid/Modest, good HP SPD and SATK

Re: Item Locations + discription! [uPDATED: Macho Brace + Nocturnal Feather, :D exams done, i am back] <t>I got dark glasses form Drawzee. My first Drawzee actually :D</t>

You can play the game any way you want, as long as YOU enjoy it. I for one have a very specific idea about what Pokes I want to have. They don't compose a strong team, they are usually not even the strongest of their type and more often than not they are considered more of a liability than the star of a PVP team. But I love those Pokes and I don't care about the rest. My goal is to get the best possible of those Pokes, practice with them and make the most of them. I will never beat the most competitive PVPers, because my team will be incapable to do it. But as long as my team is consisted of the Pokes I love, I will be content. And the rest of my Pokes will be sold or released :)

He can't, unless the Poke has a priority move and its lv40-50 opponent has only 1 HP left. by the way, 24 hours is nothing, you don't have to spend all your time with PRO, and even if you decide to, there are plenty of things to do. Do you have enough Pokes to go to Love Island for example?

That weekly event is silly. Every Pokemon should live in what its natural habitat. What would a Pidgey, a Tauros or a Tangela do in a cave? Plus there is no reason why every endgame place should have hyper-good hyper-rare hyper-important Pokes.

Why? Because you can't make 1 million only from hunting in 1 week?

1) I agree with this. 2) It was very often declared by staff that Fly will not be usable, or if it ever will, it won't be free. 3-4) Anything that makes the game play-to-win is a bad idea these two included. 5) This is already planned, although a tax may not be necessary. 6) I like this. By the way, why are so many crying about the economy 2 weeks after the game's release? It's not even clear from your post if you want the money sinking to be increased or decreased...

We can't even do all the quests yet...

Except of the 5th, I love all the ideas.
