Hello all, I am CrazyCortex. I'm in the process of making a new server mod with a new eye on pokemon balance. I'm doing this Semi Solo and changes will be tentative. Here is a little of what to look forward to: -Pokemon across all generations having been balanced in one way or another -Type changes on various pokemon to fill in missing type combos. An example: Sunflora is now Grass/Fire and Porygon and Porygon-Z have been changed to Normal/Steel and Normal/Ghost respectively. -Fairy types are no longer Super Effective against dragon and gain a Weakness to Dark type moves. A small change that drastically changes how battles work with the type. The server will open after all planned pokemon are rebalanced. All Changes will be posted here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/199OyAWfV5Kzwx7Ap5DA4Anzp6S6B8DKivrTZ51WIJCc/edit?usp=sharing If you want to see the changes yourself, you can get the mod here: https://mega.nz/#!MIYBgTqR!zyuB5ua0HHMGKvMpcT7rMgXnrK5lTpDs5fcgLQHp-70
Only move that will be banned is Stealth Rock. Swagger might not be too much of a problem, but I'll have to see. Still working on starters and fixing some move effects and changes.
Just a small update. Decided it deserves a new post (I will do a more detailed update on the google doc): Starters will lose the "in a pinch" abilities for brand new ones. A small example: Venuasuar now has Effect Spore over Overgrow, and Feraligatr has Strong Jaw over Torrent. The reasoning behind the "removal" of these abilities is that A) They're out-shined by the pokemon's hidden ability, and B) They're less than reliable in battle anyways (You have to get really low to see the effects, and anyone with priority will shut it down.) Of course, the starters will be getting a touch up on base stats as well as minor move changes. Second update, I will be going through each Gen and looking at each fully evolved pokemon, plus a few honorable mentions *cough* Pikachu *couch* and determining whether they need any changes or not. Once 90% of Gen 1 is finished, the server will launch during specified times. I will be making a schedule until I can support a 24 hour server.
