        These are some of the new Pokemon and forms

        Lulcow - a new cow Pokemon in the region. It's a special attacker (ab)normal & psychic type with the signature more Curse-ye-hameha. It's shiny has a brown striped shirt instead of a red and blue one.

        Toxieon - a poison type Eeveelution new to the region. It's texture is stolen from a big servers resource pack.

        Paleon - a ground type Eeveelution new to the region. It's texture is stolen from the same resource pack.

        Goldark - a regional evo for Psyduck. It becomes psychic dark.

        Regional Greninja - Its a ice & steel type with the signature move ice shuriken. Its shiny is pink.

        Regional Torterra - It's a ground & ghost type with it back taking on the appearance of a graveyard. Texture stolen from a big server.

        Regional Cinderace - it's a fire & electric type with an electric blue color to it's fur. It's shiny is purple.

            - lack of /fly command to help build tall/more detailed things
            - over 10+ members at its peak that were building whatever they wanted
            - server wasn't as good as fetus/konoha gen

              honestly there's no real reason not to have one on a pixelmon server if everyone is going to bring along a flymon anyways (although for balance reasons, maybe the command should only function if you have a flymon in your party)
              >over 10+ members at its peak that were building whatever they wanted
              wasn't the cobble discord server trying to organize itself and set goals in the opening days before just going "do whatever idk"
              maybe it could be neat if there was planning for more complex builds, and also more cobble block variety besides chisel stuff and mossy cobblestone, so you guys could stick to your cobblestone theme without needing texture packs to look bearable
              I'm surprised no one bothered making a castle considering those were all the rage back in ye olde days of minecraft

                As one of the members back, there was an attempt by evil, feus, and some others to have goals. It did work in some instances (like the huge cloud of cobble over neo homiesaki that one day), but telling a group of shiposters to organize doesn't work. The group was essentially everyone doing their own thing at once.

                it seems like the only thing the cobble guys could organize was paving over everything in a mile radius (within janny-regulated claims) with cobblestone without any plans on actually building something on the cleared land

                also, it would be more thematic if there was more than one cobblekang who focused on rock, steel, or ground types which would be the most fitting for a group based around cobblestone; I also recall the preference for starting with aron within the group, for a good reason - I'm planning on doing a mono-steel team next year tbh

                Honestly, being a gym leader is really gay. First is even making your arena/gym puzzle, which takes forever depending on how you want it. Then you need to be online almost everyday to fight challengers, who will usually just bring a team full of counters and cheese you. (Not complaining about that, just highlighting it)

                On the flipside, if your challenging, you have to wait for each leader to be on respectively, and sometimes a leader just flat out quits the servers. Then the jannies are slow as frick to add an npc traine, so you wait even longer.

                I guess there’s enough decent steel types to cycle through to prevent ggez hard counters besides spamming ground/fire/fighting types, but monotype restrictions will still be a pain in the ass without sneaking in out-of-type wildcards
                however I could maybe rush an early steel gym as a placeholder with aggron/alolan sandslash/skarmory/excadrill/aegislash as they’re reasonably common and not shitmons (aron line can be found in almost every cave, alolan sandshrews are ridiculously common in cold biomes, skarmory appears often in assorted places, excadrill can be found underground anywhere, and I can just find a honedge in a savannah)
                I guess other types are probably better off in terms of mons that can be caught very early on, but I just find steel the coolest

      THINGS NEEDED FOR /VP/IXELMON 2023 TO BE KINO, GROUPED BY IMPORTANCE

      CRITICAL:
      >more than 2 jannies, preferably ones competent at their job unlike pig and rasdori
      >no block based cults since cobblecucks couldn't behave or at least build anything better than terrarian commieblocks
      >having stuff to do without being the feature bloat mentioned in
      IMPORTANT:
      >early PVE/PVP content so there's actually a reason to assemble a team
      >STFU clause on battles where the loser gets muted for 1 hour; aka "talk shit get hit". optional and disabled for gym battles so gym leaders can actually use the chat
      >map size of around 5000x5000; large enough to allow building large towns while still having things spaced out, while providing enough room for a medium sized server, but not large enough to effectively isolate everyone and turn the game into singleplayer with lag, welfare, and chat
      >also, there should be a list of town coords at spawn as towns are established
      PREFERRED:
      >fast travel accessible only via flying taxi stations placed at towns; to access one you must have first travelled there on foot, like in the games
      >spawn having facilities for new trainers to get their starters, learn basic pixelmon mechanics if they're total newbies, and grinding their starter to a level good enough to reliably catch wild encounters
      >on the topic of that, make sure the starting spawn location actually works - many people struggled to find the girl that gave 10 starting pokeballs, or the starter spoink, causing confusion in chat. I didn't correctly spawn when I first joined, instead appearing at the generic spawnpoint
      >spawn shouldn't magically give access to shitloads of blocks and higher end restoration items off the bat; those should be reserved for player ran shops
      NORMAL PRIORITY:
      >optional battle facility where you can fight level scaling NPCs for rewards; most are generic NPCs but some tougher fights are based on previous teams made on the servers. cont. next post

                anyone with a flying pokemon (or flying taxi pass if they’re too lazy to catch a wild flymon) should be allowed to fast travel to any town they’ve been to before, provided they’re not underground when fast traveling
                what would count as a town destination would probably be any significant place with more than a few players working together, up to admin discretion
                this would not only provide fast travel fitting for an open world pokemon pseudo-fangame, but encourage activity around towns

      >How about a permanent server for once?
      survival servers aren't sustainable. they need resets either due to dwindling resources or in order to make way for new ones that come with updates.
      the only way to have a server with any real permanence is one with a dimension where each person has a plot, one with actual fricking content, and another seasonal one that's your regular SMP fare. I'd love if we could just get a simple survival server that sticks around forever but from a gameplay/player perspective it's a logistic nightmare. 2b2t only gets away with it because peoples' shit isn't expected to stick around and they have enough resources for a 2 TB map.
