"Okay. I don't know where to put this. I don't even know if I'm even allowed to put this, and I'm sure Oak will just have this deleted. But I'm putting this here anyway. Being your average user for almost a year now, I have experienced a lot from this simulator. And in that span of almost a year, Pokemon Online has been my life. The first thing I would do whenever I turn on my computer is open PO. I'd rather stay on it the whole day than to go out to the world, have fun. I can say that this is, and will be the best competitive pokemon simulator there will ever be. Sadly, something so addicting like this would not come without its flaws. Facebook has its ever-so criticized privacy settings. The actual pokemon games got repetitive and boring. This simulator? Only three letters can describe its biggest flaw: HAX. For almost two whole generations, I have faced this problem. Flinch-hax Jirachi and Togekiss are popular examples (combined with the flinch mechanics of this simulator of course). And with Mischievous Heart users in this gen, it has made paralysis a threat. When a Pokemon is suffering from paralysis, there is 1/4 chance that it cannot attack due to being fully paralyzed. Additionally, the Speed stat of a paralyzed Pokemon will be quartered unless the paralyzed Pokemon has the ability Quick Feet; in this case, the Speed drop caused by paralysis will be ignored and the Pokemon's Speed stat actually will be increased by 50%. While it is unlikely that a Pokemon will outspeed anything with the speed drop caused by paralysis, being paralyzed does not necessarily mean that the Pokemon will always attack last. Flip four coins. If there is at least one odd coin (e.g. Head, Head, Head, Tail), then you are safe from the 1/4 chance. Try that in real life, then compare it to a paralyzed pokemon in Pokemon Online. 100-85 is 15. You must get more than 15 in order for Bounce to miss. Flip 16 coins. If they are all similar, then that means my Bounce from my Gyarados should NOT HAVE MISSED. Platinum, it is YOUR FAULT that you let a mere user hack the tournament battle against my User Alias, [S] Sam. I am not a dumbass, and even though I'm only 14 years old, you may not fool me into thinking that something like that was fair. And I don't care for what reason you let him hack the simulator. I don't like it when things are not fair. I have already closed my Pokemon Online window, I posted the logs on Indigo. >_< I have endured so much pain from such hax. To sum up what happened, Mew Paralyzed my Skarmory, Transformed, Set-up spikes three times, and Whirlwinded me away. All as I was PARALYZED FOR THE FIVE TURNS. NO EXAGGERATION. Then later in the match, Skarmory was para-haxed for TWO STRAIGHT TURNS. Then even later in the match (I didn't give up lol) My +1 Gyarados used Bounce and missed as his Intimidated Kojondo used StoneEdge/RockSlide w/e on my BULKY GYARADOS with full health and he CRITTED the poor thing.

That was only one battle. I have endured so much more. 5 straight flinches from a 10% flinch rate move from Pearl in a semi-final. And she calls herself top in DW ladder? FUCKING HAX ABUSER. I could seriously go on...but then again, why waste so much time on such a simulator. I'll finish this thread quick.

In the 4th Gen, Flinch-hax from Jirachi was popularized. All I can say is that, 60% Flinch rate isn't that big. But Pokemon Online made it big. If I had 100 coins, I swear, I would throw them all at coyotte's face instead of flipping them one-by-one.

I am here to make a stand. In my **almost a year** of stay, Pokemon Online is a pokemon competitive simulator for your average noob. It is appealing to the eyes with it's outstanding graphics, yes. However, there is so much hax abuse here there and everywhere, that the battle is almost unfair. If you were in Indigo that time when I posted those logs, YOU WOULD REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAID THAT THIS SIMULATOR ISN'T FAIR.

My fellow people in authority were not friendly to me. Okay, Crystal Moogle was, but only her. Whenever I would mute someone, they would find a way to criticize my mute (Elements/Eternal). Whenever I take a break from the tournaments channel and play a mafia game or so, they say I don't moderate the Tournaments channel good enough (Darkness/Erebos) And whenever I would log-on, I would be kicked by the genies that are Professor Oak and Platinum (assuming of course coyotte isn't around)

I'm sure Professor Oak, Erebos, or some other "oldie" would say "It's just hax, deal with it". But it's not "Just hax", it "Is hax". 4 straight turns of paralysis? Dude, that seemed to me like 100%, not 25%.

Coyotte508, if this thread happened to not have been deleted yet, and you are reading this, I would recommend one more thing before I part ways from PO: fix the battle system. Do an in-game test and compare it to the mechanics of this simulator...you would be astounded by the huge difference. Come to think of it, this simulator may not actually be a simulated version of the real thing. Perhaps, it is a customized simulator with such abuse thrown into the game system. This simulator is noob-friendly and not forgiving to your average battler. It's like "If you don't abuse the Paralysis/Attraction/Flinch hax, you will pay for it dearly"

Once you have done the tests and presented the proof of experimentaton AND RESULTS to me, you may IM me, and I will go back to this simulator, regardless if I am satisfied with them or not. Good day sir.

Last words before I leave: This simulator has been great to me and gave me something to do because I am a person with nothing to do. I would like to thank all my friends in this simulator. I will not shout-out any names because I might forgot someone and he/she would feel offended. If you want to keep in-touch with me, ask Luck>Skill, for he has my Yahoo! Messenger. I might move to a different simulator if I end up getting really bored, but I will not dare go back to the hax and ABUSE filled simulator, that is Pokemon Online, unless coyotte or any other staff conducts such tests.

Good day. I got haxed, GG PO.

P.S. Oak/Erebos, please have the BALLS to actually read everything before deleting it. Or better yet don't delete it and perhaps let such a stand be exposed for your fellow gamers to be swayed. DO NOT DELETE BEFORE COYOTE READS THIS. VERY IMPORTANT. Thanks."
