Changelog 01.09.2021: Players will be able to join up to Normal Ranked, Random Ranked and Unranked queues at the same time. You will leave all queues once you found a match in any queue. You can see wins, losses, rating, ratio and all-time highest rating in the client for each queue now. Starts with the PvP season September 2021, previous data weren't saved. Added Normal Ranked, Random Ranked, Unranked and Guild ladders in the PvP window. Unlike Reborn Bot the ladders will update instantly once a battle ended. Guild ladders show up to 20 guilds while the others show up to 50 users. Added rules in the client instead of linking a forum post. Will probably add the list of broken moves and abilities in the same client tab below the rules. Attention: Random Ranked gives rewards starting the PvP season September 2021. Players will get 100 PvP Coins for reaching the ladder at season end. The remaining coins will be distributed based on the wins and losses. The following calculation will be used: Wins - losses = PvP Coins. This won't apply if you have more losses than wins. We still discuss whether Random Ranked rating /2 should be added to the guild ladder. Feel free to give your opinion about that! Planned additions for the PvP window in the future: Match History: Opponent, Winner, RatingChange, Date Most-used Pokemon: Rank, Pokemon, Count, Percentage, Win% Longest win-streak (maybe even in this update, depends on the time left). Server fixes: Pixilated applies the 20% damage boost now. Defog removes Aurora Veil only on the targets side now. Fixed a Stealth Rock stuck bug. Fixed that happiness evo triggered on wrong actions. Fixed that the first encountered Pokemon in random battles give Pokedex entries. Will also remove all not obtainable Pokedex entries next maintenance. Fixed a use after free battle issue. Few small reworks, clean-ups and optimizations.

Only solution I might be willing to offer would be that you can only use upper case for the first letter in each word and less than 50% of all letters to avoid space upper case spam. Everything else would only cause more work for moderation staffs as said above.

That's off-topic. I am not talking battles or the battle window.

Heyho, I currently work on the client to add ladders (OU/UU Ranked Ladder, Random Ranked Ladder, Friendly Battle Ladder). I am a bit stuck with how to add it but I was thinking about a new PvP window where I move all PvP data from the trainer card, ladders and potentially a few more things. For this, I want your opinions! What would you like to see there?

Changed.

Still interested in the guild name change?

All guild rename requested will be done with ladder resets starting this month. I'll do all current requests within the next 24 hours.

I am not sure. I personally wouldn't mind but I don't know if we'll focus on this in the future instead of other projects. Right now, we miss man-power but in the future we might prioritize other art-projects. That's why I cannot promise anything.

Heyho, female characters have smaller bodies than males in the game and we'd need to redo all gender-specific items to implement your suggestions. Right now, we do not have the man-power to do that and therefore I have deny your sugesstion.

I'd like to use a color not used right now. Red is used by bosses, blue by staffs, green and yellow by NPCs afaict.

I don't agree for several reasons but I am willing to move a few steps in your direction and change it so you cannot encounter your last opponent for x minutes. This way you should only encounter your last opponent if the PvP Queue is empty. EDIT: Forget it, you will be able to use /avoid_last_opponent to make it impossible to encounter your last opponent after the next server update. This command is only temporarily active until you logout.

I still don't agree that this command is necessary cause we have the /draw command. However, next server update, guild leaders can toggle whether guild members can meet each other in OU-Ranked. /gavoidpvp true to make it impossible for guild members to meet each other in the PvP Queue. /gavoidpvp false to make it possible for guild members to meet each other in the PvP Queue. /gavoidpvp to check the current status.

Sure, which color would you like?

Heyho, I understand the annoyed feeling of getting repeatedly pmed for free stuff but that's exactly why I took the hassle to implement a permanent ignore list. You are always free to ignore these players!

Can you list them cause most are checked with a contains checks. Let me give you an example: { "map": "Snowpoint", "comparer": "Contains", "tooltip": "Snowpoint City", "map_pos": [ -597, -294 ] } Every map with "Snowpoint" in the map name is shown on the World Map under the tooltip Snowpoint City. Therefore, all houses "Snowpoint House", Snowpoint Gym", "Snowpoint City House" and so on should be shown and only weirdly named houses such as "House1" in Vermilion City wouldn't be shown and need an extra entry. So either someone weirdly named all maps in Sinnoh or something weird is going on if you statement is correct.

Heyho, all maps that aren't linked to a World Map position auto default to Pallet Town. I fixed a few. If you find more feel free to post them below so I can map them for the next client update.

It's me, Mario, once more! It is absolutely correct that staffs should treat players with respect. Likewise, players should treat staffs and each other with respect. There are situations in which this does not happen and even leads to very unpleasant consequences. What I am about to say is by no means meant to be an excuse or to relativize what has been said, but I want players to see things from a different angle as well. Staffs are unpaid volunteers who support the game through their work and moderation staffs in particular get a lot of hatred for it. They are insulted, threatened, every comment is taken out of context and used against them. Signatures were revised to insult the respective person (<Example>), guilds were incited against a single person and lies about punishments were spreaded to make it look like power abuse. Even for their in-game staff rewards they get hated, insulted and even reported. All against normal players who have invested a lot of time in this game and have taken on tasks that were anything but fun. This is no criticism against the players who criticize staffs, I just think it would be nice if you could look at both sides of the coin. Furthermore, eNvy, your question confuses me. You ask Prehax why he is a staff even though he no longer actively plays the game, even though it was you who kept writing, tagging and questioning me about the game after you stopped playing the game. I think it's obvious to everyone that he is attached to the game and the community, wants to improve it, and likes to do staff work. That's probably the motivation of most staffs. That's at least what I'd like to think. As a final comment, I would like to inform everyone that Prehax has not yet addressed the points, because Keita asked or ordered him not to give an answer yet. He doesn't ignore or makes fun of the posts/topic.

Shinies have their market and value due to the uncontrolable rarity/rng. The shiny auction was an exception that probably won't happen again. It was to get money out of the economy. We removed around one billion. But besides that, we won't touch shinies and forms. That's why I have to deny the suggestion.

It's incredibly easy to comment on or judge something from the outside that's why I want to give you some insight. As far as the moderation is concerned, I'm hardly involved at all. There have been several situations in which I have clashed with moderators or GMs, but it had absolutely nothing to do with a dictatorship. It was more often about rules that are technically not possible. One of them, for example, was to permanently remove players from the game and forbid to create new accounts, which cannot be done with our tools, and I was absolutely against banning someone who had played on a new account without breaking rules. Of course, the other side also had good reasons to hold on to it, but it was impossible. Even companies such as Blizzard cannot prevent that. To say that situations like this make me a dictator while having no idea is beyond presumptuous. There have been situations in which smaller groups within Discord were formed that only shit-talked staffs and primarily me. However, this was only made public after they left the team. There were accusations such as "You don't give a fuck about moderation staffs cause you unbanned GoldenPikachu", although I would like to mention that this never happened. GoldenPikachu, like many others, only had the permission to create a new account, as we can't really prevent him from doing so. As for the PvP Council, I would like to speak about this once more. I made a lot of mistakes there that I wouldn't make again. However, it was originally not intended as a PvP Council, which I also wrote publicly. It should serve as a discussion platform. That many of those involved were outraged that they could not decide/vote for PvP bans on their own is a mystery to me to this day. I don't want to shirk my responsibility here either, some decisions should have been made earlier. Now Joro is in control of it and I am sure that there are only few who are dissatisfied with it. Well, the argument that players can't give constructive criticism because their English isn't good enough is an incredibly weak argument. There are always ways to express constructive criticism. May it be with the help of friends or staffs who speak the same language. The only reason not being able to express constructive criticism is that you don't have any. And should someone not being able to express constructive criticism because he, she or diverse was too frustrated in that situation, then it's still possible once calmed down. As mentioned earlier, both Prehax and other staffs have made mistakes in the past and have been confronted for them. This is currently being done by Keita. Should new cases arise, the forum can be used to forward them. As for the mentioned scripter situation, all I can say is that there could only be two possible reasons why this could have happened. The most likely is that the implementation required new features that were not implemented for various reasons and the other is that there wasn't a good reward system. Everything else is usually waved through. If there were other reasons, I am open to listen to and comment on them. I would say that scripters and I work very closely together, as they are often very dependent on dev changes. Honestly, why should I keep scripters from adding more content to the game?
