Hakunon

Hey, you don't have to give up everything you like to do forever just because you have to focus on something else. Sure you may not be as free as before but you it's still good to have fun otherwise life would be meaningless, and here I am giving a shoutout as a fellow brazillian and guildmember (before i went away from the game for a while) wishing you well so you conquer everything you want without giving up happiness that is created from your adventures here

bump People need to see and support this.

[mention]PreHax[/mention] Yeah, still felt like it was forgotten, I'm glad it wasn't.

Sorry to annoy you guys on this, but it's been months since the update so me and my friends thought you forgot about it

1: Maybe they're already working on this, but it's not the priority atm; 2: Yeah I ask myself that sometimes, the game even had some coded moves that needed their TMs but instead they added tutors that are 3x more expensive than the TMs, and much more inconvenient and annoying to reach, even more for me as I like to stock on TMs so I can use whenever I want without having to walk big and annoying-to-acces areas; 3: Thanks for the acknowledgment of the matter, this is keeping me from playing the game and when I heard it was going to be implemented (and the patch notes showing that the line of sight for every NPC could be disabled now) I was surprised and happy but they still hasn't touched which left me disappointed unfortunately; 4: Some areas are special events that appear sometimes to reward active players, and each time they return the staff can implement new rewards for the older players and better way to get the rewards for the new; 5: Agreed, and more importantly a battle log with chat in battles, this could even help with the weather issue; 6: I think there are topics about them and other stuff, just need to encourage people more with system messages or something; 7: They already know about this but I guess the battle system they have atm is very limited which keeps them from fixing some stuff like volt switch/u-turn momentum; 8: Yeah the game is amazing and that's why we care so much about it

Now for the optional NPCs. Don't kill me pls

Thanks for the support guys! They added a feature that let them turn off the NPCs line of sight (so players can still rematch after the weekly cd by speaking with them) however they yet have to turn it on. A lot of time has passed since the update so I can't say it will come soon... Maybe right after they add Sinnoh.

Thanks for answering, I dunno why I haven't got any notifications on this. Can you give us some warning when you start turning them off? You can use this topic or lock it and make an official one about the matter and highlight it in the forums because some players I know are waiting so they can clean the regions for the last time

So, optional NPCs finally is here and I thank the Staff for this. My only doubt now is: If I defeat them right now they will not force rematches anymore unless I speak with them after the weekly cooldown? Sorry for bringing this kind of topic again in advance, this is one thing I was most hyped for.

Yeah tutors should be more accessible. Even some of them are already "expensive enough", mainly the TM tutor ones since we can't stock them and they cost more than the usual TMs itself

Really? If this is true then it will be a blessing! Thanks!

I know this would take time but guess what, everything else does. That's why i'm trying to show how needed this is even if it means they change every npc bit by bit every day. If "taking time" would stop the staff from doing things then the game would be forgotten. Also bosses just seem to be the same as the rest of the NPCs but with just some extra dialogs for prizes and the much needed trigger-by-answering to them battles.

I just really wanted to make the Staff see that this is a pretty important matter that the game needs to be more fun and friendly to all players alike, even more for those who can't put much time a day to the game and they should focus more on this before adding side stuff since we're full of that right now, and astronomically more with forced npcs.

Of course someone has to play the "this is an MMO" card... You are distorting pretty much everything i've said: First of all, I've said that ONLY the route teleporter are useless as yes you CAN pretty much clear any route in 5 seconds, and by that i meant in a figurative sense, as long as there aren't any obstacles, such as the NPCs, thus making it a waste of money. Second, if you at least tried to interpret what I've said, I meant that NPCs don't give much money for the time you spent on them when you count your profits, as by the end of the day you could have accomplished more hunting, digging and training which you would have earned much more money than fighting an npc that has a chance of giving less than a lv 5 pokemon as I've said in my post. Third, If you want to skip routes, then going from city to city using the subway is better. Also if you are really doing endgame stuff it means you HAVE to clear countless NPCs, as a lot of them will keep you from doing the various digs placed around caves and routes, the various headbutts around the regions and islands, excavation sites all around Hoenn. Don't make me even get started in hunting and training EVs, depending on where you are. And last, what the heck are you talking about breaking immersion? Actually they rematching you FORCEFULLY is what breaks immersion, because they treat you like you didn't beat them in the first place. That's why everyone wants them OPTIONAL, like, adding some dialog as: "Hey, can we fight again? I want to test things out now that I've trained better" And making so they had like lv 50 pokes, and even throw extra stuff after they fix the rest of NPCs that would improve the immersion on the game like rematching Gym Leaders with lv100 team for a better reward in money, so at least they woudn't feel discarded like you said, and won't overload the game with bosses. And for the last time, I'm asking them to be made OPTIONAL, NOT REMOVING THEM ENTIRELY, LIKE IN THE ORIGINAL GAMES, where they are more "lively" than any MMO, there are even long events like in Black/White 2 where a famous NPC becomes your friend and keeps calling you anonymously time from time (they don't want you to know they are some famous person) thus giving a romantic feel to it, can't get more "lively" than that.

They're still useless and waste of money, you can clear almost every route under 5 seconds if there aren't rematches there, and the time it takes for you to use the teleport even if it's simple will not save you any second either, also as I said there are already subways as a more effective method for skipping as even with npcs most important stuff are in the middle of the route either so you'll have to walk by them. Also they did it with bosses, which are NPCs as well, the only thing I see preventing them is the number of NPCs there are atm, so switching one by one may sure take a while but it's necessary. I see players everyday complaining "Crap I must do NPCs" and it's when they need the time. Someday this will get to your head too and you find yourself exhausted from that too...

Here I am again, asking the devs if they could use the same system they use for bosses with the normal NPCs, as in, make them have their normal cooldowns, and trigger their battles again after the player speaks to them, you can even add a new dialog to the npc asking if they could rebattle the players. The thing is, I'm a player that has over 1400 hours playtime, I have done practically everything in the game except the ones that I don't think are much worth atm (ex: doctor quest and pinkam although I have them available) and pretty fast even though i'm not a hardcore player, and this is because each week it passes my head just hurts even more playing this game because of the worry it puts over that I'll have to do rematches again and again before I proceed with actual compensating stuff. I know NPCs play the role of being a challenge to overcome before you clear the main and extra stuff, sure, but after that, their purpose just become 'waste about 5x more time for things you have to do daily so everyweek you mess up your game routine if you don't spend the entire day clearing the npcs again. Nowadays we have even more bosses that are far away from towns that has already defeated and purposeless npcs in the way. Headbutts, Digs spots, EV spots, hunting spots and such are overwhelmed by NPCs that will make you lose your entire afternoons every week (route 13-15 hb and digs, excavation sites have an army just wating for you each time you want to farm those after each week). "NPCs are important for leveling-" Yeah sure if you are passing through the region first time, after that there are places that are even easier to level + ev at the same time, and you don't need to migrate until you kill everyone and waste even more time getting back for an actual training spot and most of them are low-leveled unevolved mons that a tentacool/diglett will give you more than double of what they give in exp; "NPCs are important for money" No they're not, you can make more money if you do things in less time, as if, a player that is already hunting/training/doing daily stuff like dig is making money faster and better than the one battling an NPC, and even then most of them gives less money than a lv 5 rat because of RNG; "You can use the teleport NPC pokemons in route to skip over them" Again, this is the most useless mechanic in the game together with the NPC rematches, as we already has the subway system we can use to skip over routes (because they aren't long anyways, even the Hoenn ocean ones you can clear in 20 seconds if you don't have any NPC on your tail. Also if you are in that route it means you want to use it for something (headbutts, dig, excavation, doctoc, etc.) and it makes you waste money, a move slot you could use for more important stuff and a party slot for one Poke that can learn Teleport. "You can skip them by relogging when they are speaking before battle" Are you saying that this is a valid mechanic for a game? Also you still waste some time for being stopped and relogging and some of them will not reset meaning you'll have to do this everytime you walk by them. Plus you risk yourself of getting hit by a rare bug that got me recently (I had my sync team, went to the pokecenter, swapped my Sync team for a team that I was going to use it for the entei guardian, tried skipping some NPCs, it went ok for the first two, but the third one made my team go back to the PC and swapped for my Sync team again and I lost the Life Orb I equipped to my Gengar, as if it were not "saved properly" even if I had that Life Orb since they were released); Please, even if it take some time (maybe not much as you could use the same code used for bosses or something similar?) this is the one and only thing I would love to see implemented in the game because it's the ONLY thing that is making me play even less until I give up entirely, and I would hate to do that because even if the game has many flaws I still think everything in the game was amazingly well done for it to work as an mmorpg (but I still got triggered by the TMs not being actual TMs so I could stock them and not give a damn about revisiting the shops... But that is for another time). Also I really hope Sinnoh is being made with this in mind, so you guys don't worry about changing it later...

IGN: Hakunon, Blue Server, Brazil. I really want to play those corpse party games, and of course pokemon and all other amazing games the Nintendo system has while enjoying playing anywhere i can. Hope I'm lucky this time!

The best tip I can give to you is try to headbutt trees and digs mainly wherever you can, also you may find some hidden items on ground in some places, items reset in Kanto and Hoenn... Headbutts gives a lot of berries you can use so you don't waste too much money on recovery items and ev reducing berries, also if you're lucky you can net some good pokes that you could sell or use yourself, there are some gides that show what pokes appear on the different locations. Digs are the best source of income after catching amazing pokes, since they give items you can sell to npcs like pearls and nuggets, also look for guides as there are some good pokes in some spots. Also Gyarados/Gengar are good pokes to have for clearing the regions first time. Also catch a Dark poke that has access to Sucker Punch as you'll eventually fight a pretty fast Deoxys endgame. After you decide to clear the dex, try to catch and evolve yourself the pokes as some places plus the regions Mythical pokemons need catch+evolution data to be reachable. Last but not least, when you'll decide to focus on side stuff don't miss the awesome guides we have here like the ingame boss location, excavation sites guide (try to focus this once you have access as the rewards are guaranteed amazing later), tm and tutor locations, etc.

Maybe it was a rare bug that happened to me, as I already had the 2 Life Orbs since they were release like I already mentioned before. I really didn't know why this happened, I just relogged while the npc spoke to me and the team I was going to use agaisn't the Entei Guardian got swapped entirely to my sync team. I supposed I was going to lose more items but I was "lucky" I keep most of them equipped already except scarce items like the orbs/scarfs...

Yeah I knew it had to be something like that, but I came here to try anyways if something could be done about it. Funny thing is that my friends are always doing this but never had this problem. Well, actually i'm not even surprised, things like this are happening to me all the time I've got used to it, unfortunately it's a loss for me and it don't help that I'm losing willingness to play the game because of them npcs... Thanks anyways and sorry for the inconvenience

So just minutes ago I was traveling with a team to do the new guardian boss at route 25. I reconnected while the npc was talking to me so I could avoid them, once I logged in my team as misteriously swapped to my Sync team and the Life Orb I equipped to my Gengar was missing. I checked my entire PC (even the itemless pokes) and my team 3 times, and the inventory about 2 times, and I just had my second Life Orb (it's the only one I have now) which I had to use for my Gengar... Is there a way you could return the missing Life Orb to me? This is huge loss to me as I bought when it released in the server and I now I can't use some team composition because I'm short of one orb...

IGN: Hakunon from Brazil. I don't need to explain much that here in Brazil everything is expensive because of taxes, this even made Nintendo itself stop their services here. On top of that i'm unemployed and I'm a very unlucky person. I've always wanted to play games on a current gen PC or console as in my entire life i've only played with outdated stuff, not that i'm complaining in consoles case as the classic ones have so many good games. But nowadays I only have my bad laptop which limits the games I play, I've even lost one that could run at least Dark Souls 2 with some 15-25 fps. I just want the opportunity to play current gen games and I think that Nintendo + PC is the best combo you could play amazing exclusives on Nintendo side, and multiplatforms on PC side. Ofc I think the Switch is pretty amazing with this new technology and I think Nintendo will move their handheld stuff for the Switch in the future which means we maybe get to see a traditional Pokemon game with the Stadium mechanics and gets me pretty hype up! Hope I get to win this one.

I can relate with all you've said, mostly about the unrewarding stuff + boring rematches with npcs are making me not want to play the game so much anymore =(
