PokeOne Monthly Newsletter Jan/Feb/March
Let's start with the patch notes, first of all, it is in our interest to improve Pokeone. So we have to change things and give them time to get better. Of course, we can't find an optimal solution for every player. We have received many messages from you, suggestions, praise, criticism and feedback. We have tried a lot and reworked some patches. Some of the patches are self-explanatory, while others we would like to about here.
Patchnotes:
Legendary Pokemon
- All Static Legendary Pokémon can now be checked daily.
- All Static Legendary Pokemon can no longer be traded.
- Removed the Lake Trio & Cresselia
Region Change:
- Gym Leader Original Trainer and Region Lock Rule - Kanto, Johto, BW1 &. BW2 (old change)
- Gym Leaders Region lock removed (new change)
- Region lock and OT rule removed from BW2

Sinnoh
- General information
Region Change
Siver : In order to control the still big problem with the old accounts, we have decided as team. Gym Leaders can only be fought with Original Trainer Pokémon and you caught in the region . However, we found that this was very challenging for new players, and that players wanted to use their cherished Pokémon in other regions. Therefore, we decided to keep only the original trainer rule for the Gym Leaders and remove the region rule. In Unova Black and White 2 Story, both rules were removed because Unova is used less often for "alt" and the difficulty is higher. In the process, we noticed that many players were catching some high-level Pokemon with their Main for Alt accounts through the party feature. To prevent this from happening, we adjusted the levels of some Pokémon around the starting areas. To avoid the same problem with using your main account in Gym Battles, you can now only fight Gym Leaders with another player in a party, if you haven't completed the quest.
Static Legendary Pokémon
Siver : Unfortunately, due to the fact that some players were creating hundreds to thousands of old accounts and were able to check Legendary Pokémon on a daily basis, we had to implement a mechanism to stop this. We decided that each player would only be able to check Legendary Pokémon once every 7 days, in order to prevent Legendary Pokémon farming. This has now been reduced to 3 days. These changes were not well received by the community, and we received many suggestions. We listened to many good objections and then decided on a proposal that was preferred by the community as well as the GM and MOD team. Legendary Pokémon will be tied to your account, but you will be able to check them daily. This way, new players looking for a good natur and ability will not be penalized. Also, all Legendary Pokémon obtained from eggs are tradable.
Sinnoh
Siver : We are working on Sinnoh whenever we have time. Besides our normal jobs to live. But it's a huge amount of work that needs to be done. Right now we are working on the last maps that need to be done (many of which still need to be reworked). At the same time, we are building in the story as much as possible. Then everything needs to be tested and we need the after story content and the daily content. All of this will take a long time, so we don't want to commit to a timeframe. As you saw in the last stream, there are a lot of little details that go into making a map look good. There will be more mapping streams in the future where you can ask me any questions.
Cresselia and the Lake Trio will find their way back to PokeOne with Sinnoh, as we feel that they are a better fit for Sinnoh than Unova.

What else can we expect?
Another topic are the PVP tournaments. Since the number of players is not that high at the moment and the interest is not so high without changes to the in-game PvP, to motivate the community. PvP tournaments on the homepage do not make sense at the moment. We still want to add a season system on the homepage and have a big tournament with prize money every year. I think it's realistic to do this together with Sinnoh. But if someone wants to organize a tournament, feel free to contact me on Discord.
Easter is coming soon. As every year, our dear Mikan will organize an Easter Art Contest. Mikan will post all the information in time on the Pokeone server in the discord. We are looking forward to your participation and wish you a lot of fun and success! The prize money amounts to 15.000.000$.It is divided into 2 categories: digital and non-digital.The prize money is divided between the 2 categories and amounts to 7.500000$ each. The theme is Easter and Pokémon. The Art Contest is expected to start in the first week of next month!
