PokeMMO: 10 Reasons Why People Quit Playing

[@MyGamester]

4:14 I’m a casual who doesn’t want to do pvp grind, don’t want to do money grind, don’t really care for the grind. I just like playing Pokémon and might as well play the online version. My point is just bc people ain’t into certain things in the game doesn’t mean “it’s not for them” I have other things I do in the game other than just “grind”

[@MyGamester]

I just hate hearing people say “it’s just not for you” that’s just a easy cop out. (IMO) but love the video watched the whole thing 10/10

[@grannytoes7221]

Same here. I love playing all the classic pokemon games, and honestly, this is the best, most cool way to do it. It's always been a childhood dream of every pokemon fan to have all the regions in one game. The online aspect for me is more of a visual bonus. Seeing everyone run around makes the regions feels so much more alive and immersive for me. As a casual pokemon fan, I have no interest in virtually any of the actual MMO elements, but when I complete everything I have that aspect to dive into well down the road as an added bonus.

[@dasfear726]

I put like 130m into egg shiny starters and got 0 shinies. Then opened like 240 lucky reds and didnt get the rabbit plush. This game is the devil. ❤

[@sleazytactics3754]

The pay to win aspect of the game is in my opinion very well handled in the sense that yes you can pay to win by selling rp to get loads of money to buy vanities, shiny charms, donator status etc but its not like pay to win like in other games, for example in other games you can pay to win for a overpowered weapon which gives you an advantage and effects other players experience. but in pokemmo it doesn't it is closed off by affecting the player that is paying to win but not affecting the other players experience if anything it can actually help free to play grinders because it gives us access to the gift shop and the items within it, without the pay to win players the gift shop would be completely walled off and inaccessible. And ofc everything in the game is possible to get free to play and you don’t have to pay a dime if you don’t want to and the pay to win players get to pay to win and reap the rewards without ruining other players' experience.

[@RoofOfAstora]

Yee I made hundreds of thousands by watching GTL. I once bought a Fly Ocarina for 93,000 and then sold it for 450,000, than 2 days later got a surf ocarina for 103,000 and sold it for 450,000. The whole time also buying and selling items that are super cheap and selling them for under average.

[@haroldhuntergaming9584]

​@@RoofOfAstorasomeone sold a fly ocarina for 93k?? Dawg that's crazy

[@minewolf56]

I totally agree. The ability to sell/buy gift shop items on the gtl With pokeyen makes it so that f2p players have the option to get these items just by playing the game. There are various money making methods players can utilize to grind for these desired items if they so choose. Additionally, it can teach people about economics a little LOL.

[@darksye899]

In short PokeMMO is PayToFast only

[@Alex-rn3pt]

Imo its the puzzles the games have and maze like maps that filters people out and the grinding in this game is kinda high.

[@realdynammo]

lol yeah they are tough without guides

[@TyF-py5ls]

Everyone’s different which is okay. For me i love grinding especially the grind in pokemmo because theres all kinds of ways to grind which i really love

[@CokeVoAYCE]

when shiny hunting or grinding anything you can always use big picture mode on youtube and play videos at the bottom right corner while you grind. i always do that and i can keep myself entertained for the most part

[@realdynammo]

oooh smart

[@tanner8705]

I just have a second monitor I watch on lol

[@evanmccue736]

No speed up feature. That's my number 1 reason why I went back to the roms.

[@tanner8705]

What do you mean? It’s multiplayer it’s not really possible to do that

[@evanmccue736]

@@tanner8705 I'm aware that's the reason, even though if they really wanted, they could speed up battles for everyone as a whole to lessen the boring aspects of grinding. My final straw was being disconnected from pokemon Home. In the end, at least I can copy save files from the rom onto an SD card, load that onto my 3ds or whatever with an official copy, and boom! I can send them down the pipeline to have on Pokemon Home with a little homebrew. All the while, being able to speed to 4x or more with an emulator for the boring parts. Can't say the same for PokeMMO... It's all good. It's just my preference to play.

[@kovius564]

There is actually a way, not sure how but there are guides to remove text boxes. For example healing at nurse joy takes less than a second after you do it.

[@tanner8705]

@@kovius564 sounds like a good way to get banned

[@kovius564]

[@plcrank]

They messed with Shedninja's wonder gaurd ability and made the main story for each region harder than it was designed to be (without giving us an option to opt out of these modders difficulty modding decisions). The extreme difficulty puts a bad taste in my mouth and seems like a flip off to casual players, which is most of the Pokemon community by the way. At the very least they should have given us lucky eggs early or something, but apparently the developers think that a repetitive grind is why players play pokemon. I don't play pokemon for a repetitive grind; personally.

[@claudius.musicas2010]

The pvp not balance, and its pay to win the more you pay the easier to farming

[@fairyrave2050]

You obviously spent way too little time in the game to say that, or didn't research enough to make decent pokeyen to buy/breed any mons you want

Bro why the gen 6 sprites, no one ever tells me why they actually like the gen 6 sprites more than the gen 5 sprites

[@frogonaka505gamers4]

Beacause 3d

[@deadlystricks6992]

For me the big problem is the shiny rate, and the fact you can only p2w increase the odds. Should shinys be rarer than on the main game? Definitely. Is 1/30k way to rare? Definitely! Should have been 1/15k or 1/20k. 1/30k is just way to much, and im saying it as someone with a egg shiny and 7 other shinys caught.

[@fairyrave2050]

Or you could spend pokeyen to increase the odds too. Donator Status and Shiny Charm are buyable in GTL

[@justever5301]

​@@fairyrave2050both those options only bring it to 1/24000 together. Those odds are ridiculous

[@handsomejack3149]

The insane difficulty made me quit, npc trainers use far more advanced tactics than in the base games, they have wide variety for coverage moves. Grinding is shit and also the level caps. Bound in a Story you can’t finish, distribution of legendarys is f up. Don’t bother with this shit if you want to have fun while playing games. I guarantee you sooner or later you get stuck because it’s frustrating on purpose. Played b/w recently and it’s like the difficulty has increased to insane spikes, the last fight with N and G-Cis was in the vanilla Game difficult but sure winnable if you don’t screw up. But this made my sanity wavering and my Team is not bad.

[@astr4ll141]

The difficulty is not insane lol. It's just not baby game level like the base games

[@Alas-yc1sg]

Nah bruh the only difference is that you can't switch before your opponent,the isn't that smart bruh you can exploit and manipulate it in lots of ways,i had this feeling in my first playthrough in unova,then i grinded my krookodile to max level cap and he whooped the e4 and champion,and now completing regions is much easier because i can pre make teams with good natures and ivs

[@eddybrocklyn7206]

​@@astr4ll141this game for kids or not? Cause as an exuse everyone using that. But when it come to real questions this game not for kids. How come those who always using this, full around others for years for not doing what had to be done long time ago. Money is a problem? By making game good for everyone they stop earning money? That's the problem? So far all pokemon online games made for one purpose because ppl who work there need money also. But this doesn't mean that they can't do what other ask for. That mean that they target to get more money from this and not other ways.

I'm sorry but me getting my first shiny after 377+ hours is kinda a turn off

[@Ecko3351]

I agree. currently looking for raikou and going back and forth in the same patch of grass for a non shiny pokemon makes me hate this game even more

[@CrimsonR6]

the "devs" won't do anything to make the game not a time sink because then it would probably quicken the time until they need to get real jobs. The jannies will forever do it for free tho

[@realdynammo]

what’s a jannie lol

[@CrimsonR6]

@realdynammo A janny is short for janitor, they're the moderators of any given community. So what I'm saying is even if pokemmo became financially unviable for the people who "work" on the "game" they wouldn't have to worry about the jannies quitting since they do it for free anyways

Relatable, I been grinding hoards just for levels and peaked 30k encounter's, I bet my first shiny will be insane, but happily but lazily going through the 3 regions I haven't finished yet.

@@FF-KillThemAlll the probability of finding one which I think is 1/30000 is dog sht but the hordes anywhere are really cool. I still want some of that that the devs are smoking cuz damm the excuse of “ we did this to not crash the gts” is a dogsht excuse besides many more dumb things they did like the you can’t catch legendaries because fck you is also a lame excuse to “balance the game” or the new addition of jhoto now being able to catch the red gyarados because also fck you we don’t care and all the die hard fans of shitty excuses like this defend the lame excuse of “ItS tO bAlAnCe thIngs brO” like yeah how does giving everyone a red gyarados that was coded into the original games bad just give it the “this was a gift ribbon” and problem solved you can’t sell it no more and that’s it but yeh.

​​@@tuxitoDude Shiny Charms and Dono Status are obtainable using in game money Heck, even those items found in gift shop is obtainable by pokeyen. Even then though Paying for Dono/Charms does not guarantee you a shiny. It raises the odds by 10-20% of the 1/30k chance. You still have to grind it.

​@tuxito You can get boosted shiny odds with in game money as well, and not very much at that. Shiny charms are 100-200k and Donator is like 2 mil for a month.

Haven't started to watch the video but one reason can think of is not an official game so can't send anything to pokemon home (if this doesn't bother people then you must only care about playing pokemmo and don't care you can't move anything out of the game to use in other pokemon games) but i can say this is why i don't try hard in the game it is nice its available to play on Android or pc don't always wanna even play on my switch

Played this game for a week, in my opiñion is getting into another region without be able to used your original team is a huge downside, the force grinding is insanely annoying from Lvl75+ then starting a new team Lvl1 over & over again is a f*ckup situation lol. i know they tryna balance or to make the game enjoyable by slow pacing, however you are battling with an NPC why take much time grinding EXP lol starting from Level 1 again?? nahh This game will take up you whole time more than the original game 💀 not to mention the money grind like ehh?? & uhh yeah the game is whole trash for me.

[@heySeunji]

The value of this game runs through PVP, Shiny Hunting, Trading/Money Making.. battling an NPC making it harder for the sake of enjoyment? is that really the reason? i think not.. its like forcing the users to pay for easy access of a certain events. Force grinding to beat a freaking NPC repeatedly for every new region making you start to Level1 is a bullsh*t fr. idc about other pokemons or shiny's, my concern is i'd like to used my Original Unova Team not forcing me to grind again from Level 1 💀💀
