This is a review!
Rating I'd give to this server: 10/10
I really like this server! I think I've played for two weeks now? I've been playing MC for over three years, but this is seriously the first modded MC I have ever gotten before. I'm still having to figure out all these new items, but I love it!
This server is great for anybody who wants to play Pixelmon with a community. I personally tried playing it in singleplayer-- and holy shoot is it HARD. Pokemon always initiate battles with you even if you run, it's difficult to start out with a level 5 starter and trying to find pokemon you can actually BATTLE without getting oneshotted-- but this server offers a sort of "peaceful mode" that singleplayer doesn't offer! Normally, pokemon are counted as aggressive mobs-- so if you set your singleplayer to peaceful, you can't get any pokemon or level your starter up! This server found a way, though, for YOU to be the one to initiate battles. Don't think you can handle that one level 40 over there? Don't worry, because he isn't gonna fight you until you fight him! That's probably one of my favorite aspects of this server. Normal Pixelmon is hard!
Another one of my favorite things about this server is that it has a random teleportation command. I cannot even express how deeply I appreciate this kind of command (it's /rtp in case anybody wants to know). On a lot of servers I play on I really don't like setting up shop near spawn, you know? So the random teleportation command comes SUPER in handy when you're just looking for somewhere to build a house. It's also very good for mining-- it doesn't always teleport you JUST to the surface!
Whenever you enter the server, you also get free things, to help start off your journey! You get a full set of diamond tools (including a hammer, used to make things with anvils!) and if you sign up on their server website, you get x5 rare candies for free! Additionally, every time you log on, you get an item in your inventory called ImpactMC Utilities which gives you lots of things to click on, like shops, GUI info, vote shop...
And speaking of the vote shop, the things you can get from there are great! You can vote 9 times a day, making a total of 45 vote points to spend every day you vote! You can use these to get additional kits-- my personal favorite kit is the Trainer Kit, which gives me a ton of useful loot, as well as some fossils to get new pokemon! This server also has an auction system, so if you aren't able to find what you need within the server shops, it'll only be a matter of time before someone auctions off what you gotta get! Then you just have to bid, bid, bid.
Please do vote so everybody in the server can benefit, if you join our server and play with us! In ImpactMC, there's a little vote counter on the right side-- every 100 votes, everybody gets a drop chest! It can range from common to legendary, and there's also battle items and TM chests! Even if you aren't online for a drop package, you still get things for voting. You can get pokeballs, diamonds, and if you're lucky, a shiny or even a legendary!
All in all I think this is a fantastic server! I'd love to see more people join to make it an even bigger and better community.
