I'm totally for it too but it was never deliberately removed. A forum update probably broke it or something, meaning there's not a lot I can do.

The problem isn't the specific pokemon, it's the tedium of getting an altered Pokemon into one's party. As an aside, nicknames via trades can be edited in Reborn.

Not necessarily. I mean, this might be something to poll on, really. Quite frankly as a player I agree with you which is why I've refrained from doing that thus far.

The OT thing is possible, yes! However, this goes back to an issue I brought up in a different topic- if I modify aspects of a Pokemon such as the OT, then the player has to have an empty space in their party-- the pokemon can't be sent to the PC. I avoided this previously because it would be cumbersome, but I was surprised at the number of players who would not mind this. So it could potentially be back on the table.

That was part of the original plan actually, but as it turns out I didn't have a way to make the trainer in question require a specific instance of Vanilite, for example. You could have given them any Vanilite and that just didn't feel vanil-right.

To my knowledge it did not.

You know after 5 years of doing this I'm really starting to run out of interesting titles for promotional news posts. Let's start with the server. We've been a little short-handed on the mod-erinos lately, so we're pulling in a mass draft here. Each to cover each other, we've got all three of Jericho, Hilda, and Cowtao stepping up to bat for the big @ on Showdown! The trio's coming in hot off the press from forum moderation, so you know the place will be in good hands. But wait, there's more! With several forum mods redirecting their attention to the server we also wanted to get an extra hand or two (well, preferably two since I don't know how many one-handed member's we've got...) helping out around here. For that, we're welcoming Tacos and Flowers* to the staff! *Soon to be just Flowers because tacos tend to get eaten pretty quickly around these parts. Congratulations to the four of them, and from me, thank you all for your continued, and in the last case, upcoming effort and hard work. As an aside, showdown registration. Showdown, showdown, showdown... oh goodness. I have been told by a potentially reliable source that registration is open and I submitted our request several days ago. I have yet to hear back, but as always, it's really just an 'any day now thing'. God bless server registration........

The feature is still there- it was never deactivated. ...But it does look to be broken... not entirely sure why.

The shiny back you used was Gen 4 style. Part of the point of doing this is to remove the Gen 4 style shiny backs replacing them with recolored Gen 5 shiny backs. Gen 5 style shows the full body.

pretty much. and putting us on a relatively arbitrary list hasn't been among my higher priorities. oops.

Upon further reflection I have decided to kill the gym guy. Say good bye to him while you can.

good news everyone i've succeeded in making the route 2 lag problem even worse expect the release immediately.

To be honest a lot of people write like that online And that has nothing to do with neurodivergence or any such

Okay.... but Google doesn't make the laws.

Not practically, no.

4th gen-introduced stones don't appear in mining, as they didn't in 4th gen itself either.

Ultimately anyone can player any character they won't and imagine them to be whatever gender identity they wish. The non-binary protags are there to at least offer the same options to non-binary players as the traditional genders. Play the game however you enjoy it best. As for the Asperger's thing, that's not meant to be a personal attack on anyone. That's just how I've chosen to represent it in this specific character, and it is consistent with most descriptions of the syndrome. As not all neurotypical people all the same, nor will all people on the spectrum be either. (As an aside my understanding is that the differences in communication and emotional cuing would probably largely be unapparent through text anyway given that a lot of the variance is focused in non-verbal elements of communication, so I did the best I could here, and naturally it won't apply to anyone else).

She did, on PO, but she was never the first leader in-game. What you might be thinking of is that she was the first leader who's appearance I made? And that was when her hair was green

So mute them. The second someone says anything bad, mute dat asshole. You don't need to waste energy replying, or even thinking about negative comments.

Instead of focusing on when you play, focus on improving your own skill. It doesn't matter if you play in windows with kids/trolls because the enemy team is equally likely to have them then too.

...Who, me? Nooooo... .......but I bet I could make some stuff really pretty with that....

"Oops." Sorry, Mechanightmare... My plan is basically to have it require two magntiudes/EQs. If that works out well then we might see some counter conditions in other fields, i.e you can light a grass field up with five single target fire attacks or something, or maybe two that miss. (Note this won't be in 14.5)

How much do people care about dex data for Pokemon? One of the reasons I have things like, Joltik, for example, at the level they are is because I felt it was awkward to be giving players evolved Pokemon in events when they don't have any way to obtain the un-evolved form sans breeding that specific Pokemon? I had been trying to avoid that awkwardness, but in retrospect I suspect most players would rather have ready-to-go levels and be forced to breed if they want the data anyway. Another consideration in the 7th st Pokemon is the puzzle itself. Abra needs to be Abra (not Kadabra) for the puzzle to make sense, and it's weird to be getting a level 40 whatever Abra at that stage. Like why ain't you evolvin' bro?

I'm actually kind of digging toothpaste squirrel (the first one). Unless there are any objections, I'm tempted to go with it. Manaphione, Cress accepted. I kind of like the last Darkrai myself, but if there are strong feelings about any of the other 38943 Darkrais in this thread, I'll be interested.
