Where are you from?:
Japan
How old are you?:
I'm 22, soon to be 23.
How much playtime do you have on PRO (including alternate accounts if any)?:
I have a total of 650 hours.
Has the game improved since you first joined? If yes, how?:
The game improved a lot since i started to play.
I started to play in January/February and there was a crash of the servers each 30-40 minutes, but that has been fixed and right now the stability is something really AMAZING and PERFECT.
Furthermore the game had a good amount of new features (e.g lending system to prevent scam), new content, like new spawns, new maps, new events (eg. Regional Discord Events, Saint Valentine ,Easter and the Summer one)
The game is in continue upgrade and i'm pretty confident when i say that pro staff dedicate a lot of time to work on the game and makes the players happy.
Is there a staff member or player who you feel is underrated?:
I don't really think that there is any staff member that is underrated, but most of the staff members works in the shadow (e.g content scripters) and not everyone is in strict contact with the players, then it's not easy to say if there is really someone underrated or not.
I can just tell that i've been in contact with couple of staff members in the last months and, under the eyes of a regular player and active community member, i feel like they form a really good family helping each other and being kind and helpful towards the next.
About the players i feel like noone, or almost, knows Haneroze and everything that he did as PROWiki Editor.
I recently joined the "PROWiki editor team" and i'm pretty confident when i say that what he did is something that not everyone could do and not everyone could understand the passion and amount of work he used on that.
If you could change one thing about PRO, what would it be (no restrictions, be creative)?:
There are various things i would like to change, but i don't know if that's something possible to do.
Walross once said "people think too limited in PRO cause they have the feeling not much is possible". So yes, lets try to surpass the limits.
- Improve the Guild System and what Guilds can do
Being honest, right now, Guilds are joined just due to their position in the ladder or for bonus exp. There's really nothing that makes people useful, in my opinion.
What i suggest is:
Make Tournaments Guild vs Guild where each guild can be represented by a certain amount of players. I think that keeping the number of players that repreent the guild (e.g 2-3), and giving them a better reward than the rest of the guild, could really makes people divide into more different guilds and so the guild ladder would be even more fought.
The following idea is JUST A TEST. Limit the number of spot into a guild. 100 Spot are really TOO MUCH for the amount of player that are in the game, and makes people go always in the same guilds just breaking the competition (in my opinion) It might be a stupid idea, but felt like i wanted to suggest it.
I know already of the Guild Island, ecc. But i feel these one are good suggestion for competition and makes guilds alive.
- Improve the storage box in the pokecenter
Since there's actually the possibility to have A LOT of pokemon in the PC, i would suggest to add the chance to create team.
For example, for a PVP PLAYER there could be the chance to create #PVP TEAM 1 #PVP TEAM 2 tab, so it would be faster to move into the PC and more comfortable.
The same could be done with #PVE TEAM 1 #PVE TEAM 2, for example, even if PVE pokemon are a less than PVP one.
- Create a page on the website where it says the % of the pokemon used in PVP
For example a tab which says: "IN THE LAST 7 DAYS, TOGEKISS HAS BEEN USED IN 63% OF THE TEAM", in that way you could understand the changes made in the PVP-Meta
It could be even something where you add even the movesets used, like IN THIS 53%, X % used X moveset and X % used X2 moveset.
And keep this page update, i feel like ^mostused on Reborn Bot is outdated and i feel like the website would be a better platform where to place these stats.
Of course, reborn bot could be then updated to "download" these info from the forum and so it could be used even on discord.
Sadly, not everyone use discord, so having them on the forum would be amazing.
