Ok I wanna keep this simple, me and I'm sure a lot of other people would like to see the wilderness added to the Pixelmon Server. The benefits of this goes all the way from Gym Leaders and Home Owners not wasting all of their gold on just buying blocks. Surely we could just turn off all mobs BUT Pokémon and then the economy isn't going to be ruined or anything. It just seems like the one thing stopping this amazing server from being so much more amazing. At the moment you'll be spending a 20th of your Home Price on one block to decorate it, and to me the argument that 'You don't need to decorate your homes or gyms' is just not true, would people love the PvP server as much as they do if you told all those creative gym leaders that they can't have a course or even an arena. I'd like to see Gym Leaders getting creative soon but the fact is they won't if they're spending as much as they're being asked to on building blocks.
So yeah, that's why I think having a Wild is a good idea.
Pokémon has no wilderness, so neither does the server. They aren't wasting their gold on buying blocks, because what else is there to buy? Pokéballs, evolution stones, and healing items.
All mobs have already been turned off, theres a few stragglers, they're usually killed quickly.
If you're not prepared to spend a lot of money decorating your house, you'll never survive in the real world.
I don't understand the point you made about gym leaders. They will never get creative, theres way to many issues surrounding that.
Server is still in its early days, some things related to gyms
may change, but for now they're staying as is.
