Since we're getting more issues, this is a reminder to please ping @Tech Team in β

βhelp-desk when the server crashes! This is very helpful and will help us see it faster. Also, if the server does crash, please report in that channel what you were doing or where you were so we can better pin point the problem. Thank you!

Hey @here, Its ya boi Skol, back to drop another HOT announcement!
To help combat server lag, we are currently in the process of purging all pokemon statues; as they count as actual entities and not blocks. At this time, we are not permitting any new ones to be placed down until we see if this has made any impact on our current server issues.
In time, we will allow SOME statues to return once we have a definite awnser. So I ask that you all please bear with us while we go through this turbulent transition, and we thank those of you that have been patient with us thus far.

Hey everybody! Lore Team here with a nice lil announcement. We've had a few questions in the past about Pokemon with empathic abilities, and we felt it deserved a full write-up beyond just a simple answer in β

βlore-questions. After a bit of deliberating on some of the details, it's officially live on the forums! So now your Hatterene can finally smack you when it senses that you're about to start a fight :wink~1: . Enjoy!

But if you'd like to offer help, hit us up ! β₯

As a quick reminder announcement, you no longer need to purge statues! Thank you for your help with the cleanup, though for the future please make sure to ask a Staff member before doing so. We also advise you to refrain from putting down statues (or at least keep it to a minimum!)

Hi all! For once this isn't a tech announcement from me but instead is for a game night! After the Pool Party tomorrow, around 10 PM EDT or so, I'll be hosting Among Us in Viridis Gaming. Come have some fun while being an innocent crew mate or suspicious impostor! If enough people are interested, we can do the Town of Us mod but we'll start with just vanilla. Hope to see you there~
This is an OOC event that anyone is welcome to join in for good fun with the community and can have the potential to become monthly!

Hey Guys! Here it is! The Promised Day! Time to update!
This update is going to fix a couple issues we've been having, namely Toroan Pokemon, as well as adding a few new things, and updating our Resource Pack for the Kibo Festival! But fixing it is going to require some explicit instructions:
We've included some files: customForms.zip
PixelmonForms.cfg
Unzip the customForms.zip INTO/.minecraft/pixelmon/customforms folder - Let it overwrite everything.
Place the PixelmonForms.cfg INTO /.minecraft/config/PixelmonForms - Let it overwrite what is in there.
Next up, the new mod!
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc ... sic-blocks
Just drop that in your Mods folder!
ATTENTION: If you use VanillaFix and somehow the animated textures are frozen, make sure that the config option: "textureFixes" is set to false
And of course, the ever present Resource Pack! Just use this instead of your current resource pack!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2jqufpaeubxxs ... 1.zip?dl=0

TECHNIC USERS PLEASE BACK UP YOUR SETTINGS BEFORE UPDATING! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PRESETS AND EVERYTHING OTHERWISE!
For Toroans, let us know if you need your Pokemon swapped out! We'll have to do edits to existing Toroans to get them working right!
@everyone

Hello everyone! I've come with an announcement from the CM team!
We are proud to announce that both @Gamer and @Queen Heart have completed their CM trial, and are now full fledged CMs! As such, we expect the community to treat their authority as such, and to respond to any CM-related inquiries from them at your earliest convenience, should they contact you about anything CM related.
That said; we also ask that should you have any CM related issues that you come to the CM team first before escalating to a GM, the four of us (Me, Chaos, Gamer and Heart) are always open to talk to you or confide in regarding any issues you may be facing and of course; we all want to do our share to take some work off the backs of our lovely GMs!

Thanks!

Hey guys, you should now be able to make public threads in β

βart-gallery ! Making a thread opens a separate chat; this way you can talk about art without pushing shared art up!
Be aware that you will ping the original poster when you start a Thread, so try to be cautious about which messages you make a thread in. If you just wanna comment 'this is pretty!' you don't need a thread, you could say that or put reactions. Once it starts turning into a conversation or being pushed up, a thread might be appropriate.

Chaos β 8/13/2021 5:20 PM
@everyone
Hey folks! Friendly neighborhood community moderator Chaos here. Today we're introducing Tickets!
Tickets are an all-in-one support tool focused on organization and efficiency. Functionally, tickets allow you to reach out to a specific part of staff for help. Making a ticket is also anonymous to non-staff members, and allows staff to see and respond to your concern faster than if you direct messaged someone specifically. Opening a ticket will create a new channel in the tickets category containing you, anyone in the associated role, and the GMs. Spamming / joke tickets will result in a temporary ban.
The groups currently available for communication via tickets are Tech Support, Community Moderators, Event Team, and Misc. Staff. Please refrain from messaging staff members for questions directly if your question falls into these catagories.
We may add more ticket categories if we find the system needs it! In the meantime, we hope you find tickets useful, and feel free to let us know if any system seems to be working incorrectly; bear with us through our growing pains.
You can access the tickets in the β

βopen-a-ticket channel!
Thank you, and good day! :thesun:

Hi everyone! Big announcement here: to lead with it and then explain, Iβm stepping down as a GM. Iβve had a good run- seven years!- and the server is in good hands, with an excellent staff and of course a wonderful GM team. This doesnβt mean you wonβt see me around on the server anymore! On the contrary, you will hopefully see me a little more, since Iβll be able to devote more time to RP instead of behind-the-scenes obligations and decisions.
I will remain around as a player, and Iβll still be here to provide advice sometimes to staff and to work on projects of the kind I have in the past (such as residential Galena, the Pokemon League, and Toroan Pokemon, to give examples). My characters will still be here too, doing the things they currently do. What I wonβt be doing is making GM decisions.
After seven years, I want to be able to spend more of the limited Toro time I have on the ground rather than managing the server. Itβs hard accepting that I have a finite amount of time and energy- that I canβt be everything for everyone all of the time- especially for a place I genuinely care about like Toro. This has been a really hard decision, and itβs taken me a long time, but I am sure itβs the right one.
As tempting as it is to end this message with some kind of heartfelt encouragement, I donβt think thatβs necessary, because itβs not a goodbye!

Chaos β 8/30/2021 12:22 PM
Important update regarding ALL FORUM ACTIVITY THAT REQUIRES A RESPONSE FROM STAFF! (This means ICGMs, character profiles, etc.!)
For the foreseeable future, when you submit something to the forums that requires a response/approval from a staff member, please give 24 hours from the initial submission, then open a Staff Misc. Ticket to inform Staff of the submission! The 24 hours grace period allows you to make edits, and allows us to maybe catch the post before you need to open a ticket.
If you already have a post open that has not been responded to/approved at this time, please allow a 6 hour grace period from the posting of this message, then open a Staff Misc. Ticket to inform the staff of the post, as stated above!
We apologize for any and all missed posts and we're doing our best to get on top of them. Remember, the ticket system is there to help; 'abuse' of the ticket system is very narrow, and we won't ban you for a misunderstanding of when to use tickets!
Thank you!

Interested in acting in big event arcs on Toro? Being one of the bad guys without having to sacrifice your very Good

character? Or maybe you'd prefer to help build huge fortresses, cozy caverns, or even other worlds?
If you said yes to any of those, you'd definitely enjoy being on the Toro League Event Team!
With the recent influx of new players, we here on Event Team are sending out a reminder that we're still looking for more new members to join our ranks! If you're interested in building, acting, and even having a direct influence into what cool new events happen in Toro, drop an application on the forums here:
viewforum.php?f=69&sid=5fefcc4947b8d3c16b8682bc40b50649
We're currently looking for more people to help us act in our events and create the builds involved, primarily, but we're open to looking at all sorts of different skills! Please note that at this time, we are looking for applicants that are 18 or older and have experience playing on the server! Also, if you are accepted onto the Event Team, please note you'll be expected to help contribute to both acting and building in some aspect if called upon!
That being said, we're excited to welcome new inclusions to the Event Team, and hope to be reviewing your application soon! Thanks!

-Cofagrigius (Partial phasing, hands only)
-Runerigus (Any part not interlaced with rock, nor the main body)
-Dragapult (Full phasing)

Hey, I don't typically like to push things up, but with the Minecraft/Microsoft account migration, you can no longer use the version of In Game Account Switcher we support...
HOWEVER
The mod author has added support (beta support) for the Microsoft Accounts. It's really easy, I've used it for all three of my four accounts I could migrate and had zero issues. Using it is a breeze. Here's a link for those wanting to update. We'll be updating links and the zip-packs that has that file already in our Technic and everything when we do our next update of the server. Happy playing!

Small Announcement : We're making a small change in how we edit wild shiny pokemon! From now on we'll change the size for you!
Natures/Abilities - all that stuff can be changed with Battle Tower items!

Hello, everybody! We've had some questions about this topic lately, and the older post on the subject is... well, pretty old. So Lore Team is here today to bring a modernized, clarified Pokemon Telepathy post! If you have any questions, feel free to ask us - we understand this is a complicated subject, and we want to make it as clear and easy-to-understand as possible!
Notably, pretty much nothing has outright changed. This version is simply a more streamlined, updated version that should offer a more cohesive and helpful guide to how you and your Pokemon can communicate to each other without the need for words.

Hello everyone,
Iβm going to try to make this brief and to the point: After spending a fair bit of this past weekend contemplating things and weighing my position on the server, I have reached the conclusion that the way things have been on my end regarding Toro just simply isnβt sustainable for my mental health, and truthfully; has been poisoning my view and judgement of thing regarding Toro and the friends Iβve made here. Iβve lost sight of the main reason any of us came here; to have fun and enjoy ourselves.
So, after serving as CM for this community for about 3 or 4 years; I think it's time I finally announce my retirement from the position, with the hopes that this will allow me to enjoy the server and its wonderful community once more from a more casual standpoint, as anyone here should be able to do. Iβll still be on staff as part of the App team, but I have no doubt that Gamer, Heart, and Chaos will continue to serve the community well in my absence, as they always have.
And well... thatβs about it. Iβll still be a bit absent from Toro for a while longer, but I view this as a fresh new chapter for myself on this server - one that Iβm hoping will be a fun and enjoyable time. Thank you for your time and understanding, and Iβll see yall on the flipside!

Hello @everyone, I come with a very important announcement! Toro will be going down for maintenance on Tuesday, October 26, 2021 10:00 AM for 2 to 3 hours. There will be an announcement 15 minutes before it occurs and when it is completed.
The reason this is happening is because we are changing the Linux server on which the Minecraft server resides. Hopefully, if all goes well, you won't notice the change occurred. The domain, or address that you connect to, will still be the same. But on the tech side, we are giving ourselves some quality of life updates that will help us as we work on updating the server(including moving to the next version of pixelmon) in the background.
Once the maintenance is complete, there will be a Toro Blocks and Custom Forms update. Our Technic pack will receive an update but we will also be providing instructions for those who add mods manually.
While the down time is occurring, please feel free to utilize the Toro Roleplay Discord if you need to scratch that roleplay itch. If you wish to join that Discord server and have not already done so, check the pins in β

βtoro-topics for the invite link.
If you have any questions or find an issue after the maintenance occurs, feel free to open a Tech Support ticket!

Here is your warning that the server will be going down in 14 minutes!
Queen Heart β 10/26/2021 10:02 AM
The server is estimated to be down for 2 to 3 hours. Will provide an update if this changes. Thank you for your patience!
Queen Heart β 10/26/2021 12:10 PM
Update: Due to tech things needing a few hours to change, the server will be down longer than expected. My apologies on this delay but thank you again for your patience!
Queen Heart β 10/26/2021 2:03 PM
Server may look like it is up but please stay off it until I make the announcement.

Hey just a quick PSA for the Distortion World - some of the areas don't have trampolines under them, meaning you'll lose your items if you fall into the void. So make sure you're not wearing chisel items, and/or have backups of them!

Hey fam! We recently opened up Hospital Tickets and RTMP Tickets! This way, instead of pinging and hoping someone sees, and then that person having to find the ping, you can make a ticket to get in easy contact with the related players, in a place where what's going on isn't drowned out by other things going on! Have fun!

rules-and-resources

has gotten a massive overhaul!
No more hard to update install guide - and more clarified rules for both on the discord, and in minecraft! β₯ Please give it a fresh look over to look at the rules, thank you very much.

With Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl coming out tomorrow, I wanted to give the community a reminder to avoid spoiling others and remain respectful. The appropriate channel is β pokemon-spoilerinos, with an additional thread (BDSP Discussion Thread) available for more in depth & spoiler filled conversations.
If you don't like the game, or don't plan to play it, then we would ask you to refrain from sharing that opinion in a way that detracts from the experience of others who are planning on playing. Being respectful to everyone (one of our major rules!) also means respecting everyone's decisions to play or not to play.
Thank you; enjoy the game if you'll be playing it!

Hello everyone! With the holiday season coming up, we're releasing another texture form! This is for Winter and Holiday Textures (with each described on it) - please fill out the form here if you have any submissions or suggestions! While there is no current deadline, we highly recommend you get it in as soon as possible. When we have a deadline, we'll announce it!

Hello everyone! December is around the corner, and we're planning a fun event! We wanted to hear from the community though in terms of scheduling: our next arc will be on the 4th-18th currently. However we're not sure if these dates will work for the majority, so we're gonna hold a survey/vote to see if we need to adjust!
If these dates work for you, vote in the :yes: and if not vote :no:. Thanks for your help!

ATTENTION ARTISTS
As you may be aware, Toro has had the banner function for quite some time. Well- recently Discord has updated the function to accept gifs now, YES! GIFS! So we at staff decided that it'd be an awesome way to showcase several of our community artists (if they want) for the banner, having the images transition between each other.
The rules for a banner are the following:
> 960x540 in size
> Please try to keep things generic. If you need people please use Sam and Hope, our "Default Heroes" for Toro Version.
> Keep it appropriate, this will be on display.
(And don't forget to vote for the December event time frame above)
Queen Heart β 11/27/2021 8:29 PM
@everyone
Server is back up! Our apologies but some progress of players were have been on between 12 am EST and when the server crashed has been lost. Staff will try and do their best to replace whatever went into the void of time, but please be respectful of their time and them if not everything can be saved.
Tech team is looking into why the crashing keeps occurring but for now, happy roleplaying!

[ Texture Pack is out! ]
Howdy hi! We did our regularly scheduled Resource Pack update! Shout outs to all the hard working texturers for this update! We have a fair few new autumn mons you might enjoy seeing soon, as well as including the donator textures some have been requesting of us!
Please make sure that you use this in place of the previous resource pack now, as it is a full pack update!
Happy roleplaying!
Vernon β 11/28/2021 1:10 AM
It came to our attention some stuff was still broken that we promised to fix that slipped through our combing of the pack before release. Here's the new update. If you've already downloaded the pack, just replace it with this one. Sorry! Thank you!

Hello everyone! I wanted to inform you all that the Toro Minecraft server will temporarily be down for ~10~14 hours starting at December 2nd, 11pm EST. (Thursday, December 2, 2021 11:00 PM)
During this time our host will be checking the server's hardware for faulty parts which could be the cause of the recent crashes and lag. Hopefully we'll figure this out, and if not we can narrow it down at least! Apologies for the short notice, but thank you for your understanding and patience! :rtmp:
Vernon β 12/4/2021 11:50 AM
This was meant to be posted on the first, but every time I went to, something came up! Here we go! Toro Secret Santa! Mentioned in the signup sheet as well, there will be a $25 USD dollar limit to your gifts. Don't go higher than that!
The cutoff for signups will be the 15th of this month, while your gifts should be given out the week of Christmas, no later than New Years! We'll be checking in and giving you details on who you get! Have fun!

Hey guys! It's come to our attention that there's phishing scam on discord going around again in which access to your account is gained by a hacked user dming links to users on their friends list. This is a reminder to be wary of links sent to you, even if they are prefaced with context such as "I'm working on a game/school project, will you take a look?"
The scammer pretends your friend is doing an assignment for class (or some other reason) and asks you to play the game by clicking on a link. Be careful and don't immediately click on links, even if it's someone on your friend's list. Be especially cautious if it does not have a website preview.
To guard against this, we recommend setting up 2FA on discord; you do not need a phone number for this process but you can use an authenticator app. Stay safe!
rosy β 12/7/2021 12:31 AM
Additional Warning! -
Please prevent from going to edges of the Kibostown map - it can cause the server to have teensy crash. There's nothing out there anyways, so don't worry. Thank you!

Server Rollback! - Server is up.
Apologizes to those affected, the server has been rolled back to :
12/7/2021, 12:05:10 AM
People's inventories and pokemon should be the same from right before the crash! Builds have been rolled back to midnight though.
If you've been affected by this, please let a staff know - or put in a β

βopen-a-ticket - and we will help you and try to make it up as best as we can. Thank you for your patience, and understanding! Apologizes once more for the interruption.
We know what caused it, and it won't be an issue anymore, so it's nothing to worry about. β₯

Is this a secret santa reminder?! NO! And yes! But also a reminder that we're still accepting submissions for banner images!

Happy Candlenights! The days of asking staff to NBTedit a statue for you is over! Show off all your cute textures appropriately in rp with our new plugin - ShibaPlushies!
We have custom textured - plushies now. For you to place down & pick up with sneak+rightclick!
They do not have exact placement, they seem to default to the center of 4 blocks - but! Hopefully it will save the stress of requesting staff to edit your statue.

PLEASE NOTE: These are still statues, and they will still lag! So please do not abuse them - or statues in general! !A large amount of statues can negatively affect the server. ! Especially if it's in one area!
So please be mindful on how you use your statues. Remember to pick them up, and only use statues sparingly. Thank you!
- A staff is required to generate the plushie. Please do not bother them to help you right away! Instead, we politely request you put in a staff-misc β

βopen-a-ticket .
It would be a big help if you filled out the command for us, for what you may need:
/plushiecreate <plushiename> <pokemon spec> so like:
/plushiecreate RosyDonate1 Audino CustomTexture:pinkan shiny Growth:7 thank you!
( Please include the custom texture & size! If you don't know them, let us know what size/texture it is anyways )
Vernon β 12/14/2021 11:43 AM
A REMINDER THAT TOMORROW WILL BE THE LAST DAY FOR SIGNING UP FOR THE SECRET SANTA! I will be closing the requests when I get off work at Wednesday, December 15, 2021 6:00 PM so get them in before then! Two hours later everyone will be matched and DMed their recipients!
Vernon β 12/15/2021 7:24 PM
SECRET SANTAS ARE NOW LIVE! Everyone who signed up should now have their pairings and information. If you NEED MORE for whatever reason, please ask me to get it for you! Don't ask the person yourself! We wanna keep it secret after all!
OH AND I WAS ASKED, this is a good time to say it: I am having a cut-off date of January 10th! I want all gifts to have been given by then! Sooner is preferred as they are Secret SANTAs but I understand sometimes things like art and the like takes time. In order to make sure that EVERYONE involved is getting their gift, I want y'all to update me whenever you can on when a gift is ordered/delivered or going to be delayed.
Vernon β 12/15/2021 7:56 PM
Lastly β unknown has some artists locally you can use for this little event :3c:
These will be updated as time goes on!
Vernon β 12/17/2021 10:35 AM
A quick reminder, do inform me if you have delivered your secret santa and what you got them! I wanna make sure I mark off you on my list!

Hi Everyone! As some of you may be aware, I'm going to be a bit sporadic in terms of activity on toro until the new year rolls in. As a result, Im aware that there are quite a few of you who have been patiently waiting to battle the ghost gym, so... in order to get the ball rolling when I'm fully back, I ask that those who are seeking a challenge from me to DM me and we can start scheduling a date/time for your challenge!
