I liked how the staff members tried to encourage players to play the battles the way it should, In last Holodeck event, there was few NPCs giving advices to players about EVs, switching battles and stuff, However we can still see how players refuse to play how it should be, and we can still see fights in the channel with the classic "noob argument", No one can change the way of think of other players, but that does not mean it should stay this way, so all we can do, is to try to change these poisoned heads with something that may call their attentions and try to take part on switching battles, So I came up with an idea for a suggestion.
I am not going to blame staff for this, Game stayed so long with bad battle system that players has a mistaken Idea of how to play pokemon battles, but there is still a solution, maybe it is all up to players to change this with the time, but a bit of help of staff encouraging players is the faster way. I suggest to host an official PWO tournament, Rules could be limited to no OHKO moves, and NO doubles, ( I can not think of some other rule atm). Let me explain, If players are to host a tournament with switching battles, Poisoned heads are not going to participate since there is nothing interesting for them, Unless player hosting the tournament are willing to give enourmous quantities in pokemoney for free entry (not going to happen) plus there is still a chance those poisoned heads are not going to enter, If staff is to host such tournament, of course players going to be interested on it, PWO battlers nowadays only battles for Wins and have their names in the top 10 battlers list, winning an Official tournament and getting their names in the "hall of fame" is something they will be wanting, plus the prizes. Prizes does not have to be that big, but they should be something special at the same time. What about instead of giving pokemon for prizes you give special items? I dont know, maybe Dubious Disk to get Porygon-Z, Some way to get leafeon/Glaceon/Probopass (item), Some ability capsules, maybe some other held item, eviolite, focus sash, lum berry etc.
As you can see they are not that rare items in the pokemon world, but they are in PWO, those are something every player are going to want to have in their hands, That is surely to call attention from players, encouraging them to enter the real pokemon battles, giving them an Official tournament that has not happened in years, and maybe getting some money activity among accounts (shrug).
Any thoughts??
