Clauses for when game is live

[Thor]

we will hold tornaments where certain rules will be enforced, however through general PvP this wont happen.

 

also i doubt youll see a player with a legendary for a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time

i think anbus idea is interesting however not everybody would like to play by clauses

so if its possible make a battle menu ? before battling somebody the person who sends request

gets to select clauses the person whos recieving invitation gets to view not only the request but

the rules of the battle i.e sleep clause etc. This can be worked out nicely for those who like certain rules in pvp.

I don't like this suggestion. PRO's battle engine is supposed to be the most complete one compared to other Pokémon MMOs. If moves, abilities, natures, etc are working as intended I see no point in limiting moves usage, what we have to do is work on strategies.

[Belladonna]

So, are you saying that being able to use any Pokemon Move in PvP battles isn't competitive?

Player vs Player, it is up to the ones who are having the battle which moves/abilities/strategies are not allowed.

You will be free to choose how you want to play.

 

If PRO does not have those tier and clauses Pokemon Showdown does, players can do that by themselves.

Simple, don't you think?

i dont like the idea of restrictions just because they could be 'gamebreaking'.

 

PWO was just 1 big broken game, and people restricted all sorts of stuff like 'No Switching' or 'no OHKO moves' or 'no Slaking'. sorry but i like the idea of an actual free an open game for people to embrace their battle styles.

 

Official tornaments will have sanctioned restrictions though, so at least in official capacity there will be safeguards for people who feel they are lesser skilled.

 

Me, ill go for a troll Ursaring, and a Clefable death all every day of the week

I don't think you understand Clauses. Clauses do not ban things like switching, but ohko moves are not competitive.

 

i understand clauses very well. you see my very first pokemon battle experiences were on a little game called pokemon stadium.

 

this game had an anything goes ruleset, however in the stadium battles, there were rules like any 2 pokemon couldnt be asleep or frozen at the same time, self destructing as last pokemon instant fails.

 

so i do understand clauses. i just think restrictions take the fun out of battling. i like to troll battle, i use pokemon and movesets that humiliate people and make them rage. if we had basic rules types coded into the game so that when you send out a battle request you could choose the rule type (poke cup, prime cup, special cup, Monotype etc) and the person recieves a notification such as 'Anbu requests to battle, max level 100, ruleset: Momotype' then that would be cool. however restricting things for everyone...sorry wont do that.

Everyone that dislike "non competitive" moves or that like battle clauses feel free to offer an agreement to your opponent, however we are not willing to support or police them; it's up for each one.

[Jhaxion]

I have to agree with Julio and Belladonna on this on. For those that want clauses and tiers you can always hop on a battle simulator. With so many restrictions i fell as if it takes away from the "mmo" experience. Of course pvp plays a large role but do we automatically have to follow in the footsteps of other pokemon mmos or simulators.
