Hooray, a server with a weatherless OU tier that three people will use!

On some level I agree with this. Which is why I said about checking the amount of interest in such an idea before setting the server up by setting up a poll here, and for those of us who know others, we can start getting some numbers down of how many people would be interested in such an idea. This also allows for time to see if anyone is able to set a server up.

Doesn't getting people from other servers defeat the purpose of a pkmn.net community server? That seems like a quick fix for all but one day, where they'd just go back to more popular, proven servers.

I'm free for you guys to prove me wrong, but as far as I know, this won't work and the idea has never survived past the hype stage.

I have to re download it and get a team ready, but once I am, anyone up for a battle?

[Legacy]

Sure, name the server and I'll be there

[kr9q]

kk. I haven't been on PO in months, due to me forgetting to download it again. I just have to get a team ready, which I am doing now.
The Server... Hmm... The PO server?

Yes and no. Yes since it, initially, might not be JUST PKMN.net people. But the people that would go there could become part of the community. It's surprising how many people go to a server for the community feeling, and actually end up staying. I know I have in the past, and I know I'm not the only one.

Whenever you set anything up in life, whether it's something large like a business, or something small like this, there is always a 'what if?' factor. What have we got to lose by setting a server up and seeing how it goes? If it doesn't work, then let it rest (until the next time, in which a previous attempt CAN be reflected upon). If it works then you can all hear my speech on how I was right it'll be great for the competitive battling community of PKMN.

You're more than welcome to try and set up a server. Go for it. All I'm saying is that it has been tried in the past and failed, probably because this "competitive battling community" of the site is, quite frankly, close to nonexistent. Although it would be interesting to see if a server improved it (although as you probably already know, I doubt that).

I used to go to Pokemon Online but havent been in some time. I was CJBlazer from Mostly Harmless but I never battled that well, hence why I quit PO. I may go back but only if the issue got solved with the DDoser plague. So many ddosers....even an auth himself. i like community over competive battling. (I wonder how my old friends are doing...)

Thank you for giving me the information of this good game.
