Leaving Sale

3 min read

With the current situation going on in PKMNations, I'm deciding to leave.

I honestly never thought it would have to come to this. But times are changing and now that Eclipse has killed any bit of group activity I want to do, so I rather just end it all here.


Note: The Pokemon I am not selling will be stuck in my inventory but will be continued to be drawn outside of groups.

I don't plan to transfer my Pokemon out, that'd be too tedious since I'm not planning to put them in another group anyways. If anything they'll be my OCs which y'know I love having more of |D


I am taking points or Paypal only! (Paypal is preferred, DA currently has a janky commission widget system where certain people can't convert points to cash)

  1. If you're the designer of a Pokemon I'm selling, let me know and I'll give them back to you free of charge!

  2. If your not a member of Nations/Plan to transfer the mon out, I'll transfer it out for you! Just let me know c':


Honestly? Just make an offer on these guys on what's fair and within your budget. I'll set them up in price categories, but feel free to haggle <3


:new:I'll be holding sales until September 5th. Any Pokemon/Item not sold will stick with me and I will keep all the designs with me.:new:

Buy these OOS items in bulk!! I have so many of them!

Remember 100 :points: = $1

  2. 3 OOS = 600 :points:

  3. 5 OOS = 900 :points:

  4. 8 OOS = 1200 :points:

I highly recommend reading the others' posts on why they left. Their sides are just as important as mine and explained why we all collectively left together. My experiences are essentially the same as theirs, I'm just tired. I don't want to think about this anymore for the sake of my health. Not to say I'm putting this behind me, because there's no way I could forget how I, among the others, have all felt with how they were treated in one night.


I say they because I was not an active part of the conversation, I don't trust myself to make words and my connection was shitty that night, but I heavily supported the others.


It was a moral issue paired with the behavior the Champions displayed. When the Rarity Honedge was brought to light for displaying the Rising Sun banner by a fellow member of the community, there was a lengthy discussion that ultimately leads itself into the recent new rule about symbols as well as the final stamp of not changing the design. I initially didn't care, to be honest. Even as a Chinese person myself, being raised in Western culture, I was not personally affected by the Rising Suns symbol because I was unaware of the implications and history behind it all.


But I had time to sleep on it, and by going over their new rule it didn't sit right as much as it initially did. Because essentially the group was indirectly allowing symbols of genocide if they deemed the symbol to be of good intent. Symbols are vague and ambiguous, we understood that, but even so, the Champions never understood us (at that time Kanarinchu, AnimalNerd, and Tulikko (referred as Roll) had written a document stating the issues they had with the new rule along with other issues during the discussion).


I wasn't going to be a part of the discussion, that was one thing I said I wasn't going to do. But the conversation wasn't as civil as it was going to be because soon after bringing up their document, it was no longer about the design and the symbol rules, but quickly detoured into about the Champs when a Champ brought up a question asking for our opinions about the situation (whether the Rising Suns personally affected us + if we felt like the Champs weren't doing their job).


I have taken a look at their (the Officers) arguments and there was one point about how it felt like the decision to come up with the symbol rule was finalized through the Champions' decisions despite others voicing their disagreement to it. That point was however far down their list, but it really seemed that was what the Champs were pinned on more than the other points made.


I ended up speaking by answering a Champ's question, to where I also agree among the other Officers that it felt like they were being unfair when it came to decision making. That was all I spoke, however, the discussion that was for the intent of talking about the new rule and Honedge design became almost nothing more besides the Champs explaining why they work a certain way. The talk did continue about the rule a bit (I can't remember much it was like 2 weeks ago and I wanted to stay out of it) but ultimately they weren't going to change anything: design and rule.


Even before the document, a fellow mod even suggested altering just the sun design on Rarity Honedge ever so slightly. Other mods chimed in agreeing with that suggestion but were ultimately shut down. To the Champs, it may feel like they knew what's best for all of us, but to those that were fighting for it? It felt like their cries and pleas were ignored. Even if it wasn't the intent, it still felt like it was and we were vocal about it.


Needless to say when they tried again (now with Pandorachi, and me on the side), with a new proposal to revise the rule. I can say as the person who was a bystander, I find it so disheartening that the Officers were trying so hard to reach a middle ground but the Champs didn't. But what made it worse was the counterarguments the Champs made against the revised ruled that was completely bizarre, and if anything, illogical. We were furious, we felt like we were treated like children because according to them if we abide by the revised rule we would have to ban numbers as they've been noted to being used as hate symbols.


Like I mentioned paragraphs before, the root of why we all left was because the rule + the Rarity Honedge's sun banners were against our morals, even if the intent wasn't meant to bring harm, I don't believe intent can be used as a valid enough excuse when it comes to being able to use these kinds of symbols, or other versions of them. It's similar to never wanting to see a Swastika anywhere because of the overwhelmingly years of negativity and history it has connected to it. The Rising Sun and its recognizable alternatives should be no different, even if the design wasn't meant to depict it. That was what brought us into thinking about leaving the team, but ultimately I can't lie to say that the Champs' lack of morals and how they handled that discussion was what pushed all 5 of us to quit in a single night.


It wasn't easy, for some of us we've been in Nations for years and worked with that same team for a good amount of years as well. We've made good memories and had great times together, the only reason there was a revised rule proposed was because we ultimately didn't want to leave. The image Nations was setting for itself with the new rule went against our morals but it was ultimately the Champs' attitudes toward the other Officers that pushed us. We concluded that this workspace wasn't good for us, it wasn't right and without hesitation, we gave our resignation messages one after the other and left.


I fully acknowledge that I really had nothing to contribute overall to the whole debate aside from being support but I also doubt that I would have made anything different than what was already said and done. My reasons for leaving differ from the others slightly only because as you can see, I'm barely active on DA in general, which also means my activeness for Nations was also wavering. I'll be a senior in college in a week or less and I frankly don't need the stress of online work. I actually thought of leaving for some time (months I believe), but stuck around for Roll, another mod who was hired the same year as I was, and Pan, my best friend who became a mod that eventually got promoted. Unfortunately, I didn't have to push myself into leaving after that revised proposal because I was no longer comfortable in that space anymore and I wanted to leave.


I know I'm saying a lot and I'm grasping at JUST that discussion even though I'm aware of many other issues. I want to say my piece from my perspective as a bystander(?) since I'm not too involved with the Nations community, but I don't want to be silent on something I feel like has to be said on what happened.


I genuinely enjoyed my time there with the mod team and working as a Nurse-> Officer, I actually liked some of the mods even the Champs during the time I was there. I can't say where my feelings on them lie now, something I still have to come to terms with because of the good memories, but as of right now? I'm frankly ready to just move on and continue life as it was, even if I'm no longer a part of that team anymore.


Note that I do not approve of any harassment that is thrown at PKMNation and the mod team, especially the Champions. Despite everything, those are human beings behind your computer screens that genuinely don't deserve that kind of treatment.


Thank you for reading this.
