We have custom Textures for pokemon, Custom Plugins allowing for a fresh experience, and a custom made Points system to allow players to gain anything a server would normally have in a store, without spending any real money. (The server does not have a store and if it does it will be for Cosmetics only, no Pay to Win advantages like most servers have)
We also have Server Wide World Bosses which up to 30 people at a time can participate in fighting for a chance to win big prizes.
For Rankings I have developed a Custom built Battle Tower which you rank up as you progress through the 4 Tiers of the battle tower, then have to defeat the Super Boss at the final stage of the tower.
Upcoming Plans: Player Based Economy with a Player Built Mall. Player Run Gyms/Elite 4 System. NPC Based Gyms and Elite 4. Custom Pokemon variants including alternate Typings, a Safari Zone, A Pixelmon Jobs system, and more.
