Everything that is in the Pokédex in-game (exclusing Greninja (Ash)) will eventually be released. They are there for a reason, not just to fill it up with things you will never get.

golyesem@hotmail.com isn't the email address linked to that account...

Arceus (Unknown) was given to people early not only, that helped with certain small things in the development of v4 such as sprites and data entry. All those jobs I could outsource for help were already given and completed so now the only way to get them is to trade with the people who were given them or wait for the event. It will have an event, I don't know when, I don't know what you'll have to do for it but there will be an Arceus (Unknown) event. The point of the ones currently in the game was to give those people who helped the chance to have them before anyone else.

The decision to make botting not allowed was to bring back the fun of what the game intended to be.Contrary to popular belief, botting is only done by a handful of people, they just do it on multiple accounts that make it seem like a lot are doing it then they stockpile everything onto one account to storm the leaderboards or they offload it onto people who are unaware they're receiving illegitimate experience Pokémon. Most of the players do not know how to bot or are not interested in it. Now, if you were around for v1 - v2 then you will know that the leaderboard was locked and basically impossible to get onto as a new player so instead of the hard earned fun it should have been to be #1, it's actually just a contest of who can leave their computer on the longest. I myself found this pointless and not what gives me motivation to develop the game. When I make an update for the game, I like it to be looked at, tested, played with, even admired in some cases, not for the first thought of the player to be "Oh, how can I automate this process?" As someone who has botted games as well, I know even for the player it kills the fun of the game and it's no longer a game but a chore to keep your bot running as long as possible to "catch up" or "keep up" and in some cases to go undetected. That, in my eyes, is not a game or fun. I stand by my decision to eradicate botting and will never revert.

Can you go into detail about how this is productive for me and more so the user? So you battle the account Training 19 times in a row now it's on a feed of some sort that you did so for you to look at. Why do you need to know that? That's a lot of data for me to be storing for something so menial and something I don't see people using. BUT, that's not to say I wouldn't do it, I'd just need some more convincing so if you could give me more insight into why you yourself and other players would want this then I would consider it.

@xKogu I can see someone (I'm not sure if it's you) Is currently using the account so if you managed to get back on it then that's good. If you're still having an issue then come and speak to me about it on Discord and I'll see what we can sort out.

All Pokemon that are not yet released are not known how or when they will be released. They may be events, claims, giveaways or purchasable. Until then, there is no answer.

When a user is banned, all of their Pokemon are automatically made to have 0 exp so their Pokemon will not appear on leaderboards. However, the ones you're referring to were not treated in the same way by an oversight in the ban system that did not take trade offers into account. For example, if a user is banned and they have a 'top pokemon' in the trade system offered on something then the ban will not treat this Pokemon as owned by that user (I can see it's owned by that user but the ban does not) So these ones need to be done manually. The ban system has been revised in v4 and this will no longer happen.

Done. You're welcome

It's undecided whether this Pokemon will ever be fully added.

I was told a few days ago, (I forgot who by) that you set up your clan wrong in terms of permissions. I don't mind setting it to the correct permission for you, just let me know which one you were meant to have out of the following @Adamented Public Everyone can see the clan and its posts, and can participate without joining. Open Everyone can see the clan and its posts, but only members can participate. Everyone can join. Closed Everyone can see the clan and who's in it, but only members can see posts and participate. Users need to ask a leader to join. Private Only members can find the clan and see its posts. Users need to be invited by a leader to join.

There are sort options in the new v4 Pokedex, don't worry

Selling Pokemon was never a thing... you're thinking of a different site.

Effective immediately on July 27th, 2017, the clan forums will be no longer. Instead they have been replaced with a forum clan system where each clan can have their own small section of the forums with multiple topics and calendars. These clans will tie in with your in-game v4 clans when available but you're free to go ahead and try out the forum clans first and get yours up and running ready for v4. Each forum clan will have a leader that is the original creator of the clan and they will be able to appoint separate moderators to help keep their clan section clean. This, however, is not essential, you can run it all by yourself if you like. Unlike in-game clans, a forum clan will have unlimited user slots where you will be able to invite existing forum users to your created clan or you will be able to request to join someone else's clan. Again, unlike the in-game clans, you will be able to join multiple forum clans for the ease of being able to communicate with everyone on the forums. While this can be seen as your own section of the forums, it does not mean you can overrule the original global forum rules. These still apply to all clans created and will be enforced by the global moderators/administrators. You can find the new clans section in the top menu of every forum page: From here, you will be presented with the options of creating a clan or joining an existing clan. If you decide to create a clan, the privacy of this clan is decided by you with the following options: Public Everyone can see the clan and its posts, and can participate without joining. Open Everyone can see the clan and its posts, but only members can participate. Everyone can join. Closed Everyone can see the clan and who's in it, but only members can see posts and participate. Users need to ask a leader to join. Private Only members can find the clan and see its posts. Users need to be invited by a leader to join. This current clan sub-forum will be removed with all of it's content on August 15th, 2017 which gives everyone who currently has a topic here the chance to gather any information they need and migrate it to the new clan section. Soon to follow this topic is the clan section rules outlined and a detailed guide on how to set up and run an effective forum clan.

Don't worry about it, I think it's a mixture of everything said and in which case, the part that actually is a bug where certain data may not load while the rest does is fixed on v4 wonder trade so this can be closed now.

@dangerous1234 you need to stop double and triple posting everywhere. When you need to reply to a topic but you were the last one who posted in it then edit your last post. Thank you.

@VITOL I was looking in to this just the other day for wonder trade on v4 and I'm unconvinced it's a user releasing a Pokemon because it would show broken data the other way around rather than how it is in your screenshot. When you release a Pokemon, it loses the initial data (name, experience, level, attacks) but ball, gender and OT are kept on record and not deleted when released. SO, if the Pokémon image is broken and says "This Pokémon is a glitch and will be deleted" then yes, it most likely is that the person has released what they received. In the case of the screenshot you provided, it looks more like a failure to retrieve the extra data of OT, ball and gender. In the second case, I have fixed this on v4 although it should be a very rare occurrence on v3 unless you have a slow connection. As far as it goes to why people are releasing Pokemon straight after a wonder trade rather than just wonder trading it again, I think that comes down to the fact there are a lot of people who don't actually know what wonder trade is or how it works, so, when they click wonder trade on a Pokemon, they didn't realise it would be instant and so they click off it thinking it will cancel, they then go to view all their Pokemon to see if they still have what they wonder traded but instead they see something they don't remember catching so they release it.

Your accounts were banned.

Don't worry about reporting attack change bugs any more, the system has been completely replaced in v4 so I won't be fixing them in v3 any more.

Fixed.

There's a location for every Pokemon on our Wiki found here: https://wiki.pokemon-vortex.com/wiki/List_of_Pokemon_By_Location Events are announced here on the forums, on the in-game dashboard when you log in and on Discord in the #announcements channel. Unfortunately all trade rates are personal opinion so there's no right or wrong answer to it, your best option would be to ask here about individual trades:
