We would like to ask your opinion about a potential new feature.
The feature would send a system messages (e.g. Fishing Contest), each time that a player encounters a shiny or very rare form.
What would be announced?
Shiny →→ [ALL Rarities/Tiers]
Shadow Pokemon →→ [ALL Rarities/Tiers]
Event Pokemon →→ [Only Rare Tier)
The reasoning behind implementing such a feature would be to provide players with the impression that catching rare forms is not an insurmountable task, while also motivating them to actively hunt for these forms. It could offer an extra boost of instant gratification.
We are worried that players might be approached by profit sharks or feel pressured to sell their newly acquired Pokemon, and the amount of message could be perceived as excessive especially during events.
You could configure whether the system message displays your username or posts anonymously (hiding your username, default).
Additionally, you would have the option to turn off the system messages for yourself.
If you have any other concerns, we would be grateful if you could share them with us in the thread below. Your feedback is important to us.
