Missing Features

PWO is still a BETA Game and so its still under-development, as with many BETA games, this means that some features are missing or don't work correctly/as you would expect them to work. In this page you can see most of the missing features as well as a short explanation of why it's missing or how it doesn't work correctly.

Missing Features

Pokéball Variations
Currently, the only available types of Pokéballs are regular Pokéballs. Other variations of Pokéballs have yet to be implemented.

Held Items
Due to the lack of the capability for Pokémon to carry items in PWO, held items are mostly unavailable in PWO at this present time. The exceptions are namely Held Evolution Items, which are used differently in PWO; they function identically to an evolution stone, meaning that they are selected from the inventory to promptly use it on a Pokémon, but no trade transaction while the item is held by the Pokémon can be executed.

HMs.
Currently, HM moves are not acquirable; and the environment can not be traversed by outside-of-battle usage for moves. You can, however, Surf using a surfboard, and Fly might be implemented at a later time.

EV training.
Currently there is no way to train your Pokémon using the "EV" system.

Daycare's or Breeding Pokemon
Currently there is no in-game way to leave your Pokémon in your a daycare or to breed them. There are however Daycares by other people in-game who will train your Pokémon for in-game money.

Repels
Repels are currently not implemented in PWO. However, it is uncertain if they will be implemented or how effective they will be if they are added; it is a common concern among speculation that the strength of the item may cause an omission of common shiny Pokémon encounters, or if it will enable too much ease in encountering the more rare Pokémon, diminishing their value.

Other Regions.
Currently, only the Regions Kanto and Johto are available to play. Other Regions will be added at a later time.

Pokémon Natures/Genders
Currently there is no different Genders or Pokémon Natures in-game. However there are still Female Nidoran and Male Nidoran.

Legendary Pokémon
It wouldn't be very legendary if Legendary Pokémon were very abundant in the economy. For this reason, Legends are not obtainable in game for normal players, excluding extremely rare events. It is also speculated among players that only one of each Legendary species will be made obtainable to the entire player base.

Gen IV Pokémon
Currently there is no way to obtain Gen IV Pokémon, ocassionally though on the Holidays there will be locations where you might have a chance to get one. Such as in Dusk Town for the 2011 Halloween Event and in Festive Town for the 2011 Christmas Event.

Unfinished Features

Battle System
Currently there are many moves in PWO which are broken (don't work as intended), this results in a incomplete battle system where some Pokemon are at a huge disadvantage.
Player Versus Environment System
Due to the underdeveloped mechanics of the PVE system, players are currently limited in how they can interact with the environment; moves are not usable outside of battle and NPCs are often used as a substitute for what trees could be cut in the handheld games (they allow you to proceed past the tree if you have the required badges, which equates to the amount of badges players typically had by the time they obtained the HM Flash in the handheld games). Aside from the Wind Surfboard for water travel, there are no other items to substitute for the functions of HMs in the handheld games (for example, dark interiors of caves have not been added as there is no item in game to illuminate the darkness).
TMs
Not all TMs are added as of yet. Refer Here for a list of available TMs.
