Hello everyone!

The OM Leadership team has been discussing this for a while, and we've recently come to an important decision. We've had a number of people complain since the beginning of the generation that Game Freak was doing Pokemon fans a disservice by removing Pokemon from the game and not permitting fans to transfer them into the game or obtain them otherwise. After some time, where the moderation team went back and forth on the topic, since it was a very divisive issue, we've reached a compromise that we're all happy with - to an extent. We've made the decision to officially swap over to the National Dex format for the remainder of Gen 8, and we will be monitoring information about Generation 9, whether obtained legally or not legally before making a decision on using National Dex for OMs. This decision was not made lightly, and we considered many factors at hand.

All of our permanent ladders on PS will be making the swap as soon as possible, although since this is on short notice, 2v2, OMotM and LCotM ladders will not be affected. We hope you will enjoy the National Dex OMs, and stick with us as we move forwards towards Generation 9!

Ok, ok, jig's up I guess.

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! The OM leadership decided to have OMs switch over to National Dex for a day as really, we wouldn't do this in any normal circumstances. Beside the fact that National Dex has turned into its own thing, we're also very, very close to OMPL starting, so we wouldn't actually impose such a change on our OMPL players and wouldn't expect them to have to adapt to National Dex OMs this close to the OMPL start date.

However, we do hope that everyone enjoyed the day with National Dex OMs, and had the chance to use their favorite Pokemon in their favorite permaladder OM for the day. Our permaladders should revert back to normal eventually, and we'll be back to our regularly scheduled content of Gen 8 OMs. Be sure to try and watch our OMPL Auction, and cheer on the team you want to win this year's OMPL!
