    there no need for that i think 3k exp per battles is enough 

    You did check my calculations tho, right? There is no way 3k exp could possibly beat "immunity training". Plus, immunity training is a process that feels so unnatural. I personally think that grinding one Pokémon would be a more "natural" way of gaining exp, and it will not make the game any easier because you will be gaining the same amount of exp in the best conditions.

  2. In "Pokémon Vortex" there is a competitive feature: Seasonal Top Trainers. Each season trainers can win battles and gain experience in order to improve their accounts and become the best Pokémon Vortex trainers they can be. However, the best and most "meta" way to earn experience is, in my opinion, counter-intuitive at best.

     

    One would imagine that the best way to go get points is to use your favourite Pokémon to farm experience, but actually the best way is to train level 6 "immunity-type" Pokémon, as shown by the following calculations:

    Against a training account, a level 6 "immunity-type" Pokémon takes (on average, and worst case scenario) 1m30s to finish a battle and gain 50k exp.

    Against a training account, a level 100 Pokémon able to OHKO takes (on average, and worst case scenario) 1m50s to finish 5 battles and gain 15k exp.

     

    One could argue that immunity Pokémon training is countered by the fact that you have to, first and foremost, catch said Pokémon, but you have to remember that you also acquire extra points for every new unique you catch per season. Not only that but the amount required of immunity Pokémon to get to the ranking is staggering (5000 or so), and you would have to ruin the "looks" of perfectly-nice account (for the people who care about such stuff), when this could be prevented by boosting level 100 exp gain instead. The whole seasonal ranking progress is a counter-intuitive grind, and isn't as easy to "brag about" as just showing one Pokémon with great amounts of exp would be, saying something along the lines of "see this Luvdisc? I trained this baby and I got to the ranking!".

     

    My suggestion is increasing the amount of EXP a level 100 Pokémon gets from battles against full level 100 teams (so that evening out EXP isn't affected) Just 3000 just doesn't cut it anymore and this would make the grind slightly less tedious for everybody involved. This would also revive the thrill of wanting to have the Pokémon with the most EXP again.

    You never know that for certain.
    Sure, it's unlikely, but it's possible.

    I still feel the account should not be deleted.

    I wouldn't be so sure. I often register to games, websites or services I intend to use just to get my usual username.
    What I mean by intend to use is I don't have the time to when securing my username but I would one day like to. Sometimes it can be days, weeks, months or even years.
    Sure, the specific account *you* want may not have been one of these cases but it's still their account and I will never delete them/make the username available just because they haven't logged in recently or ever.

    Securing an username is fine, but there would have been at least a small degree of activity, don't you think? Catching one or two Pokémon and then not logging in again doesn't seems like someone who would want to come back. 

    I guess I' mjust saying this because there is an username I would liek to make, but the account with that user only logged once (just made an started and never came back).

    Accounts like that have, most likely, forgotten about the game and lost access. If they only played for less than 10 minutes, then they are not coming back.

    Change of username will be a very bad idea. As this will help scammers and will be difficult to track them.

     

    Deleting old accounts is a bad idea again because many players are returning to the game after 1 gap so their progress should not go.

    I know that inactive users will never have their accounts deleted.
    I'm of the opinion that even those that don't play for years should be able to come back and play again when they re-discover this game.

     

    You guys are misunderstanding what I meant with "inactive"

    What I think "inactive" accounts are:

    Check the username "tres"

    Registered on December 18, 2014
    Last logged in December 18, 2014

    Activity: Caught 2 Pokemon and then left the game, and never came back.

     

    That is the kind of users I mean. Those are inactive and let's not kid ourselves, such users are never coming back.

  5. I just came back recently, and I have quite some things in my mind about usernames.

     

    1. Could there ever be a possibility of being able to change usernames? Is the database able to handle that?
    2. Would inactive users* ever be deleted? And if so, could we ever be able to remake their usernames? Or could this be a case-by-case basis if an user were to ask on a ticket? 

     

    *Inactive users:  As in, accounts that haven't connected for well over 5 or 6 years, and have shown absolutely no progress whatsoever: 'Choose starter, made account and never play again'. There are several accounts with zero progress that fit this category.

     

    I ask all of this mostly because I would like to start again from a new account, but there's a particular username I would like it to have. I imagine others might have the same thoughts I do.

     

    Thank you for your time.

    A good portion of what you've posted is from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
    Most of the new things from that game, such as the Ultra Beasts and Ultra Necrozma, haven't been added.
    I expect that in the next big update those Pokémon will be added, a long with most of the moves you're referring to.

     

    Most of the Ultra Beasts havebeen coming little by little. I think there are only 2 left or so? 

    Still gonna mention these things. Because some of the moves from UM/US are around (Croagunk and Toxicroak, for example, have almost all of their US/UM moves).

    I think some of these might truly have been slight oversights, as Toxicroak and Croagunk show.

  7. I decided to compile the moves that some Pokémon are missing, as well as where they learn it from. I will constantly edit this thread if a move is added, and if I find a missing move. Please, help me looking for moves!

    I will add ONE new Pokémon everyday OR if one has been "fixed".

     

     

    Toxicroak

     

    #454 - Toxicroak 454

    Focus Punch (150 Pwer, 100% Acc) (Learnable by move tutor in UM/US)

    Throat Chop (80 Pwer, 100% Acc) (Learnable by move tutor in UM/US)

    Thunder Punch (75 Pwer, 100% Acc) (Learnable by move tutor in UM/US)

     

    Carbink

    #703 - Carbink 703MS.png

    Power Gem (80 Pwer, 100% Acc) (Learnable at lvl 46 from Generation VII)

    Stomping Tantrum (75 Pwer, 100% Acc) (Learnable by move tutor in UM/US)

    Clear Smog (50 Pwer, 100% Acc) (Learnable at lvl 7 from Generation VII)
    Gunk Shot (120 Pwer, 80% Acc) (Learnable by move tutor in UM/US)


     

     

     

    Certified of not missing any move:

    Croagunk 453 (Most of its tutor and egg moves are found in Toxicroak)

     

  8. Quite some time ago, the moves in this thread were nerfed.

    I would have no problems with this, except that there are still " attacks that were throwing battling way off balance":

    Victini's "V-create" and Necrozma's "Prismatic Laser". Necrozma, in particular, can OHKO anything that doesn't resist it. At least the moves that were nerfed were balanced, because a wide variety of Pokémon could learn it. These attacks are just learned by TWO pokémon. Isn't this the core meaning of "unbalanced"? Isn't this something that would need to be addressed? 

     

    There are two possible fixes. You could nerf these attacks, or you could remove the nerf of the old attacks to show the shift on power level that Pokémon Vortex has with all the new legendaries now.

     

    Trump Card, Self-destruct and Explosion are Normal, a terrible attacking move. Most of the time, the Pokémon who learned these skills weren't even Normal-type to begin, so no stab. In order to OHKO anything metallic and shiny, they would need to be DARK, and that reduces the defense factor of these Pokémon.

    Reversal and Punishment did not need such a massive nerf. Skills like Focus Punch still exist in this game. So how about a compromise and giving them 150 attack? This would balance out all the lesser Pokemon.

     

    Maybe with these changes in place, we would see less Necrozma teams, and more teams of people using the Pokémon they actually like. What I loved of Pokémon Vortex was how you could use every Pokémon you loved and still be "competitve" (My main Pokémon, for example, was and still is a Luvdisc, and I use an Unown as well!)

     

    I hope this is heard.

  9. I am trying to make a theme account. However, its very difficult as changing the ball in which a Pokémon comes is not a feature.

    Do you think we could ever receive this layer of customization in here? It could be for premium users only and limited once per day, or something like that. I would not mind shelling out some dollars in order to change a Pokémon ball. Probably the least of your priorities but I think it would be a neat feature.

    I wanna get my glaceon trained to 15mil(it's already 14)but I m a bit confused with your method

    Basically you want 1M

    1M exp x 1.5 = It would cost you a base of 1.5M to train all that.

     

  11. Contact me on Discord, as I'm far more active there! My discord is Iara#8552 (That's an 'i') My IGN is iara

    I train pretty quickly and will communicate you as I do.

     

    Base rate is 1 exp = 1.5 poke. I can only train one pokémon. If your Pokémon has no quick moves to train, or is something weak in a meme sense (E.g.: Ditto, Magikarp, etc), the rate instead is 1 exp = 3 poke. Feel free to contact me.

     

    Please, make sure you already have the money set. I will not give you back your Pokémon unless you pay the amount needed.

    mr virus, offer whenever you can.

     

    iara, sure offer the poke u want the xp to be on.

     

    Alright... What's your IGN to offer my pokemon? I can't find it.

  13. Here's a different kind of proposition.

    Do you think you could trade one of my Pokes to 2.5M exp? if you do, I'll give you back another Poké I have (A 3M exp one). You will wink 500K exp that way.

    Are you guys out there to constantly ban me because you hate me?

    Every new account I make gets banned within 5 minutes with no rules broken, at least give me an explanation please as i'm trying to return and want to forget the past. 

    If you cheated once, you are likely to cheat again.

    Shouldn't have cheated in the first place.

    Sure, I'll offer that then. It was caught in a GREAT ball, right? That's the important thing.

    And the name had to be SCP-002

    willing to offer 3 uniques I need? ill start hunting after I am done with nostalgischit's larvitar

    Depends on which ones you want.

    Check my IGN "iara" and see if there is anything. If you ask for something like starters, rare pokes like Eevee or popular ones like Larvitar I'll decline tho.
