  • Please remember, this game is in beta stages thus meaning it is not complete.
    Expect bugs, glitches, and other things that can possibly go horribly wrong.
    If you visit http://playerdex.com, login, you can find your Starter Pokemon
    and get its ID number. This comes in handy as one of the most common bugs
    for new players is that their starter Pokemon vanishes very early in the game.
    If you have its ID number then you have a better chance of getting it back.
  • Do NOT be involved in stealing other people's Pokemon or money. This is called Scamming, or Hacking in some cases.

  • Do NOT spam, as it tends to annoy other players (Spamming can be considerd but not limited to posting random text many times or saying the same thing over and over many times in a row. Ex:
    • ajshgfjfsdjfsd
    • BATTLE ME BATTLE ME BATTLE ME BATTLE ME
  • Please beware, this happens countless times in the game. One option you have if this gets annoying is to go to [URL="http://xat.com/pwo"]http://xat.com/pwo[/URL] and ask for a GM (Game Moderator) and report the spammer.
    Note: Please do not do this if the userbase does not want the Pokemon your selling. Simply stop advertising it.
  • Do NOT flood the chat. This means entering a HUGE wall of text, and it is another form of spamming.
  • Do not make a big list of Pokemon you're selling.
  • Do NOT flame. It is applied by Rule 1 as being rude to other players. Flaming is arguing basically posts that clearly insult other users, individually or as a group, directly or indirectly. Flaming includes but is not limited to:
        Name-calling ("You're an idiot", "You moron")
      • Direct insults ("Screw you")
      • Offensive orders ("Go kill yourself")
      • Insinuations ("Are you stupid or something?")
    • Do NOT troll. Trolling is posts intended solely to annoy and/or offend other users by going against the clear nature of a topic.
    • Do NOT be involved in stealing other people's Pokemon or money. This is called Scamming, or Hacking in some cases.
    • Do NOT cheat in any way. No FREE Reputation (gained from thrown matches), no FREE Pokemon (Such as giving a LV 100 to a LV 30 trainer), and no Disconnecting in battles.
    • ABSOLUTELY do not curse in the game. Pokemon is rated E for Everyone meaning there will be children playing this game. It has ALWAYS been that way. Also, do not try to circumvent the system by use something like F***! or S***!;
      For example, if "gris" is a banned word
      • Not allowed: g-r-i-s, gr*s, g***, 9|-1$, girs, gryeeeas, grizznizz, **** (rhymes with "bris")
      ;
      You are also not allowed to imply cursing either.
    • Have fun and enjoy your stay in PWO!
