With Omniscye's permission I've made a discord server for the competitive aspect of pvp. We aren't affiliated with the development of the fan project, just fans of the game wanting to establish a place where people can battle and discuss the game!

Here's my actual lil review of the new update:

There doesn't seem to be any mega evolution options anymore, is this intentional? I don't see any of them when making my teams.

Also while I'm here I want to bring up a few balancing things:

AoE moves like Earthquake deal a lot of damage and are harder to avoid, I think increasing their cooldowns to maybe 10 seconds would help a lot. Or give it a longer start up animation like a little jump before the quake happens.

Moves like waterfall would do better if they had the same dashing feature as Extreme Speed. It also helps Pokemon that are slow be more competitive as they get a second movement option to fight against faster Pokemon

Desperate need of physical Ice moves. Icicle Crash, Avalanche, Ice Fang, Ice Hammer, Ice Shard

**Please remove the pre-match info of showing both players team in online lobbies**

Controller feels good but remappable buttons would be nice, or at least better button layout. Switching feels a little bad when you can't manually choose who you want to send out. I think if we can't have controller remapping, at least change it to like hold down LS, then press A, Y or B

Moves that increase damage can be stacked really fast. I think increasing the cooldown will help

You already saw a lot of the things I mentioned prior, but I'll just mention it again just to keep everything in one list.

This is more so things to hope for on the next update or the one after:

Haze, Roost, Morning Sun, Moonlight, Synthesis, Soft Boiled

Haze helps allow defensive play to be more relevant by stopping the Pokemon that attack for a lot of damage with boosting moves, the other things allow longevity for tanky Pokemon

More team slots! Too many Pokemon, too many team ideas, only one slot 

(I've been saying this a lot) 6v6, only because I think it'd make a more balanced scene. 3v3 is really easy to get overwhelmed in due to some team compositions having enough synergy to absolutely destroy everything they fight, and once stat buffs have been applied its easy to sweep;

tldr limited team building makes it easier for strong Pokemon to beat everything, I think a toggle between 3v3/6v6 when making the lobby would be nice.

EVs/Ivs would just help the game overall since it helps make different Pokemon more viable, with there only being a little amount of abilities implemented

Held Items, but its low on the list for a reason

Been playing a lot with friends, we enjoy this game hella can't wait to see more, but it feels like a lot of steps forward were made, and a few steps back with the removal of megas and the change of adding team previews

it’s so good, my friends and I have been playing against each other, team building and stuff this game would have a fire competitive scene

So far:

Tool tips when changing abilities lasts too long and doesnt go away. Maybe a little question mark button next to the ability thatll make the tool tip show up if you click it? To say what the ability does.

Are all abilities functional now? I noticed regenerator works now, if not can we please have the feature back that states which abilities function and which dont? 

The feature that tells when you have a Pokemon with a full directional sprite or a png should return until we have full sprites for every Pokemon

Training mode should let you change Pokemon and the opponents pokemon (it was a good addition tho)

These are the things I've noticed so far.

Things that I think should be added still

6v6, EVs/IVs, more abiilities (if we dont have them all yet), more recovery moves like Roost, Moonlight, etc. Stat reset moves like Haze, Held Items because it'll help Pokemon that aren't blessed with boosting moves and Pokemon lacking important abilities and Pokemon being able to evolve into Mega Evolutions instead of choosing them by default

W update can’t wait for more

An option to aim with mouse would be nice, though I do like keyboard aim I think both should be an option. The miss mechanic also kind of sucks since its already reliant on aim skill

Other than that, i think the ability to edit EVs/IVs, have multiple teams saved and the ability to mega evolve during battle, with like a button press or something would be cool 

More Pokemon with access to Haze and Roost/Recover would be really good because boost stacking is really strong, I think a bigger cool down between moves that increase stats would be better

could we make one then, and if so would you be willing to link it here as the unofficial discord community? 🤔 It’d be a shame to have a game this cool with pvp and no community behind it.

I agree with this, add a discord community for tournaments and stuff and we lit

One more question, can we expect to see 6v6 for online battles any time soon?

Yes that's the one I'm on, also would it be possible to keep the label that shows which Pokemon have fully working sprites and which one are pngs? I know the pngs are placeholder but it's nice to know which ones arent fully sprited

Do you have any plans on making a discord server for the game?

Let me rephrase. When matches finally finish, the other person gets kicked and the lobby has to be remade. Also only sometimes when I make the lobby will it form the new lobby, where it shows both people and lets us ready up. Usually its the old lobby that starts automatically and thats when it doesn't work.

Matches still kick the person that joins, but the lobby stays up though.

Would it be possible to make a lobby where multiple people can join and match against each other and spectate matches? And a list for lobbies that are currently open?

When clicking play again in a pvp match it doesn't start the fight against another player again it starts a CPU match. Can you fix that? Also maybe make it an actual lobby where you can edit the team before starting another match

Game is fun
