  1. I actually really love the Haunter. Especially the way he grips the snowballs! Also it might be worth putting this into the "submit suggestion" area of forums. Nice work!
  2. After closely inspecting Jadeash's map, if there's a way up to the higher elevated area, it's either by coming up from the map below this one, or perhaps by climbing up the wall on what looks like a spider web on the left side near a tree xD. I might have to give mapping a try in the near future. I haven't made a map since like 2006 lol. (Just looked up the old program that I used to use. It was called "Advance Map". Good memories! ^^)
  3. Fire: Cyndaquil Water: Totodile Grass: Treecko
  4. Yeah I agree with this. Furthermore, I've made a suggestion in the past to give ALL event's forms a specific animation. For example: Halloween themed pokemon could have some tiny Zubats fly away from the pokemon while making RL Bat Squeak noises. Valentines pokemon could have some bubbly hearts float and pop with a bubbly noise. Summer theme could have the pokemon kick a beach-ball at the trainer's face. Easter pokemon could have the pokemon take a bite of some Chocolate before having the chocolate disappear. May the 4th be with you Pokemon could make Light Sabre noises. Etc. There is much that could be done to make them feel equal and more complete.
  5. WQ's desperately need an overhaul / rework imo. They should last multiple days and it should be a set number of catches for each player. The iv total thing should be removed. Players who participate that are not the champion of a certain region should get a non-ticket reward, such as balls / money.
  6. Hello. I have a suggestion to add Tyrunt to Draconic Excavation Site. Tyrunt is a dragon, so it would fit the theme. Honestly, I feel starved of Tyrunt. Not only does it cost like 350+ AP to buy a Jaw Fossil, but Mirage Island Cave has Tyrunt Day only and Tier 9. Very hard to hunt, if you can even get to mirage island! I checked for mirage island on all 4 of my characters for 8 days in a row and still no mirage, so unlucky! 32/12 lol. Additionally, it might be cool for Cranidos to be added to Mineral site or something, but I mainly just wish Tyrunt wasn't so exclusive.
  7. Hello. I'm wondering if someone on the art team might be able to find the time to spice up event forms by making them all more like Xmas forms. Xmas forms when encountered in battle play the same audio as finding a shiny, then instead of shiny stars it shows xmas snowfall. (sidenote,: the shiny golden S next top pokemon's name could optionally be a thing for each event, like a green C for christmas. Red H for Halloween. Blue S for summer. Purple V for Vday poke. Pinkan Poke could have a Pink P. etc. My main suggestion would be for the rest of the events forms to have entry visuals and audio to fit the themes. For example: Halloween Pokemon could show some bats flying away from the Pokemon, and we could hear bat squeeks. Valentines (i like this idea a lot) Forms could show some hearts growing and popping like shiny star visuals, but hearts that make a bubbly popping noise. Takes more brainstorming to come up with an idea for the Summer Visuals and audio, but I came to the conclusion that it would be hilarious if Summer Theme Pokemon Visual Effect was the Pokemon kicking a beach ball at trainer's face, making beach ball bouncing noise as the poke kicks it ,and as it hits your face. lmao Maybe Easter Theme visual could be a large egg rocking back and forth making pokeball rocking noise, then make egg crack noise as it reveals the pokemon. (this one would probably be more complex to code since the egg would visually hide the pokemon until the hatch effect visual completes. But it could probably be visually coded the same way a pokeball makes a pokemon disappear and reappear when pokeball breaks open.) Pinkan Pokemon could just change the color of the usual shiny stars visual effect into a pink stars visual effect. No idea what audio or visual would be good for Star Wars theme poke. Maybe Lightsaber Noise or Lasers shooting away from the pokemon. lol. These would all take a bit of work, but I feel it would add some spice to the other event forms. As things are, xmas event forms and shinies are the only ones that play visual and audio event form effects, I think it would be amazing if we could spread the love to the forms from other events, eventually, too! Feel free to share your thoughts! Thanks for reading! ♥
  8. Bump, if anyone wants to discuss this topic to share their opinions.
  9. Hello. Many other players and I have been complaining that Absol's only spawns All require Membership, except for the 2 that don't, which are both Night Only. It would be nice if Absol could get an event map spawn that doesn't require MS. Also, it feels like Absol is tier 9. Maybe tone it down to 8 if it is. Though I have no idea if there are different rarities in the "rare" category. Since I guess tiers were removed. It's just that other rare pokemon I can find in way less than 200 encounters, frequently. But when I hunt for Absol, I've gone 400 encounters for 0 absol twice already in cave of justice. Maybe I'm just having bad luck with Absol. Anyway, feel free to share your thoughts on this topic. Every day I see someone in all chat mention they wish howling woods didn't require ms for Absol. lol Thanks for reading! ♥
  10. Not 100% sure but I think those naero perks got removed when he got reworked to have easy, medium and hard modes. Sad but we move on, if so.
  11. I just have trouble getting into a "Fishing Contest" that doesn't require fishing. I wish that we were actually required to use Super Rod, and that Fishing Rods could be reworked to not suck. Might as well have called it Fish Hunting Contest instead. Anyway, corsica water seems to be one of the places where it takes me 20-50 seconds to find 1 random encounter sometimes. Would feel better at 8-15 seconds. Also, I was hit with a heavy wave of Tiredness when it was only 1 hour in, and all my ivs on the rare poke were bad so gave up. 1 hour might be long enough. OMG I almost forgot to mention how much I dislike all of the NPC Water Pokemon getting in my way and blocking my hunting path. This is another reason I wish we had to use rods for this. Assuming rods won't be fixed and required for this contest, please remove some of the npc pokemon from the pond or make them move less / change their pathing. I love the idea of the event, I just get salty because 1 hour 0 wishiwashi bumping into annoying npc and not even having to use rod, and the fact that I'm always unlucky with IVs in contests.
  12. The small and tight-knit community of PRO is the thing that always keeps me coming back. Over time everyone starts to get to know eachother bit by bit. In addition, the staff can take some time to respond to things, but they have always listened to what I have had to say whenever I've made suggestions. Many of my suggestions have been implemented and I commend pro staff for always listening to player concerns and giving well thought out responses with good reasoning as to why or why not they will make a change. Thanks PRO staff for always being awesome! And thanks for always reading my rage-filled walls of text of that I will occasionally spew out. I'm never complaining into the void. My concerns are heard!
  13. Not finding anything in any of the inboxes or junk folders and even tried searching for pokemon and PRO and nothing. So i tried to resend the reset requests but then now it says "the username you entered does not exist."
  14. If I hadn't quit the game on April 10th, I bet I could've hunted 16 hours a day every day from then until now and I still wouldn't have found any new epic Pokemon. lol I bet Tyrunt and fossils are still tier 9 in mirage island cave. I'm so glad I stopped playing. Catching 500+ Bagon without seeing a v-day one, let alone an epic naive h.a. one was the last straw and I don't see my self logging in again unless 2 very specific changes are made. Event Form chances need to be 1/150 or easier for tier 8 and tier 9 Pokemon. Tyrunt and Fossils need to be tier 8 in Mirage Island Cave. Tier 9 should be retired from the game, aside from these exceptions: It's okay for Zorua to be Tier 9 on Mirage Island Summit because it's what makes mirage island special, and it's a great hunting spot for timid pokemon anyway. The only other time I thought a tier 9+ spawn felt human friendly and balanced, was years ago when Kanto Starters were tier 9.5 but had a 1/20 halloween chance. That was good balance. What is not good balance, is Bagon having an estimated 1/250 chance of appearing and then on top of that, add on 1/750 or whatever the valentines form chances were. Wouldn't something like that take an average of 187,500 encounters to find? Let's say the number out loud (One Hundred Eighty Seven Thousand, Five Hundred). At full speed, last I checked, I was able to do about 61 encounters per 10 minutes if i'm uninterrupted. That's 366 encounters per hour. That's 8784 encounters in 24 hours. So on average, to find a Valentines Form Bagon, It would take 21.3 solid days (511 HOURS) of hunting non stop, uninterrupted, no breaks, like a robot, to hit 187,500 wild encounters. Most events barely even last that long, unless the ending of the events are just postponed and events are extended. Event extensions are ONLY asked for by players who HAVE NOT YET FOUND WHAT THEY WANT. The reason they haven't found what they want is because of how impossibly horrible the combination of spawn chance + event form chance is on tier 8 and 9 Pokemon. I've participated, going FULL NO-LIFE, Event after Event and the only time I was satisfied with a catch was when I used super rod in hoenn to catch a tier 9.5 Squirtle that I was lucky enough to find having Halloween Theme when it was a 1 in 20 chance. This game is balanced for botters, not humans. I hope everyone is having fun. I know I wouldn't be. Valentines Bagon with 0.0005328% chance to appear. LMAO the math checks out. 0.0005328% x 187,500 = 99.9%.
  15. Hello. I feel that event form chances are too harsh and unrealistic when it comes to High-Tier Pokemon. My suggestion would be a Rework to make Event Form Chances Scale with Rarity Tier. For example: Rarity Tier / Event Form Chance T1 - 1/1250 T2 - 1/1000 T3 - 1/750 T4 - 1/650 T5 - 1/550 T6 - 1/450 T7 - 1/350 T8 - 1/250 T9 - 1/200 With things the way they are, I can no longer commit to event form hunts due to sheer waste of time and nearly impossible odds on High-Tier Pokemon. Feel free to share your thoughts on this topic. Feedback is appreciated.
  16. I won't even try for event forms anymore unless something is changed. The only time I ever liked the chances of event forms was back when Halloween Form chance was 1/20 and then later it was 1/50, but other than that, all of these 1/500-1/1500 event form chances are too impossible when you consider tier 8 and tier 9 odds. I've been hunting Xmas pokemon for way too many hours a day, every day of every Xmas event and I literally have 0 high tier xmas pokemon except a gentle xmas riolu that I got after doing over 16k encounters in Crystal Cavern while trying for xmas axew, and a sassy xmas litwick i got after doing about 13k encounters in Evergreen Island Valley trying for xmas houndour. And I believe riolu was tier 6 or 7 at the time. I hunted for xmas eevee for the whole xmas event of 2016, 2017, and 2018. Gave up. I really wish they would change event form chances to scale with rarity tier. For example: Rarity Tier / Event Form Chance T1 - 1/1250 T2 - 1/1000 T3 - 1/750 T4 - 1/650 T5 - 1/550 T6 - 1/450 T7 - 1/350 T8 - 1/250 T9 - 1/200 With things the way they are, I can no longer commit to event form hunts due to sheer waste of time and nearly impossible odds.
  17. My opinion is that certain players are locked out from ever finding a certain target pokemon above a certain threshold of ivs with right nature and ability. This pokemon is impossible to find for these players even if they hunt for 8 hours a day every day for a year. It is impossible for that player to get that pokemon without buying it from someone else because the system is so busted that people only ever find epics when they're not looking for it, and sell it to the guy who wants it. This leads to hunters not wanting to play, while WHALE players are always on top, having everything they could ever dream of. Meanwhile, the player with the most hours in the game still hasn't found something he's been trying to find for 5 years. Unhealthy system that Punishes Hunters and Rewards Whales.
  18. This might be it. I might not ever log into the game again. I see no reason to play when the only outcome of me hunting for event forms every event is always me never finding anything, even if I catch 500+ of that species. EVERY DAMN TIME that I get excited for ANYTHING in this game, that excitement quickly changes into all of the negative emotions because of how impossible the rates are. Hunting in this game has never been friendly, and never will be. Spawn rates in this game seem to be made with robot-hunters in mind, not human-hunters. We are human, not robots. Staff wonders why people bot in the first place and it's because people hunt for 2+ hours and can't find the target species. They catch 500+ bagon and 0 epic, let alone event form. The Spawns are going back to how they were before hoenn reworked them. Tier 8 are going to take 500 encounters to find 1 and tier 9 will take 1000 to find one. Have fun with that, everyone. I'll go play a game that doesn't waste hundreds of hours of my playtime literally rewarding me with "Nothing". The only thing that can get me to log into this game ever again would be a Major Spawn Rework to make EVERY hunt more human friendly, and to make Event Form Chances more human friendly. Especially the form chances of higher tier Pokemon. LOL Like that's ever going to happen. KEKW! To me, this game will now forever be known as "Carrot-On-A-Stick Online". I used to be more passionate about this game than I was about any other game. But this game broke me. This game shattered something inside me that can't be repaired. It's forever lost. It stripped me of any emotion I had in the game. All that's left is empty nothingness. An endless abyssal void where the Pokemon you're hunting for never appear. I hope you all can eventually catch your carrots. I'll never catch mine. In fact, I don't even want your damn carrot anymore! This is very sad for me. But other games have carrots too, and the cool thing is, these other games might let me ACTUALLY ACQUIRE MY CARROT if I work hard enough! Hard Work in PRO means nothing unless it's money. PRO is P2W btw. You can't change my mind. Enough rambling. GLHF! ♥ I'll miss you all.
  19. I'm the guy who did 1250 encounters for 1 Bagon in Dragons Den before Hoenn Existed. 1193 encounters for 1 Absol in Mt. Silver 3F with MS before Hoenn existed. I spent 210k in Safari Johto Wet Zone Entries to fish up only 7 Feebas with Super Rod before Hoenn existed. And I even spent 5 months on route 107 / Dewford without leaving a single time, until I caught my first H.A. Skrelp when Hoenn was new, Skrelp required MS. I hunted every day and after 5 months had only caught 61 Skrelp. Things changed after that and all spawns were reworked to be less punishing, which was the best thing to happen to this game in my opinion. However, lately, things feel different. My issue is that I feel like someone stealth-changed some things. It feels like we're on track to going back to how things were. Where it will take 8-16 hours of hunting to find 1 Charmander like it did back in 2016. If this happens, I will undoubtedly Quit the Game. There is nothing wrong with letting players get what they want. If they find an epic of what they are searching for, they'll spend more time training it and showing it off and have more motivation to hunt the next target. Finding a target species isn't what ends a hunt, unless the player is just going for Caught Data. A hunt ends when you find epic version of the species you want. To hunt 4 hours and not find the targeted species a single time is something that shouldn't happen in this game. The finding epic ivs and nature / ability is what's supposed to be insanely rare. I can not think of any other game which has such punishing odds for something that is so basic in the game. A good example is World of Warcraft. Everything you do in the game is progress towards something. Even when you are clearing old dungeons for rare 1% drop mounts in raids with a 1 week cooldown. Spending 4 hours doing those raids and getting 0 mounts still gains you any gold that the bosses dropped, as well as any gear, pets, or even crafting materials. The fact that you can try to find a pokemon and find 0 in 4+ hours is not human friendly. It's an unhealthy system at that point. "I have been hunting for 4 hours and haven't thrown a single pokeball." is something that shouldn't ever be said by anyone in PRO, unless they are super picky and are specifically hunting for shiny or pinkan form or something.. Idk man, hunts feel masochistic to me. Either I'm losing my mind, or everyone else has lost theirs, to be able to accept such harsh odds for some of the spawns in this game.
  20. Map Name: Mirage Island Cave Pokemon: Geodude, Raticate, and All tier 9 Fossil Pokemon. • Replace Geodude with Whismur • Replace Graveler with Loudred • Replace Raticate with Makuhita • Change all tier 9 Fossils to Tier 8. Whismur and Makuhita are low tier spawns that are Native to Hoenn so they make more sense and are more appealing for a Hoenn hunt than Geodude and Raticate are. Mirage island is supposed to be special, and Geodude + Raticate are anything but special. Also the fossil pokemon being tier 9 here makes it punishing to hunt in. I tried for Tyrunt a few times and it keeps taking 2+ hours for 1 Tyrunt or Cranidos. Then I find 2 shiny Geodude instead of even 1 h.a. Tyrunt or Cranidos with Bms. A change from tier 9 to tier 8 would make this hunt more appealing and less punishing, as even if they were tier 8, you can still get the "other" fossil Pokemon at each phase of the Poketime cycle. So even if I'm hunting t8 Tyrunt, i can still get unlucky and find Amaura instead. Thank you for reading. To be honest, I kinda wish tier 9 would just be retired from the game. But I understand a Pokemon like Zorua being tier 9. Every single time that I get Mirage Island on a character, I'm excited to hunt H.A. Tyrunt with BMS, but then I go 400 encounters 0 Tyrunt and it makes me hate the game. Waste of BMS. waste of excitement about mirage island cave. Waste of a cave with impossible to find T9 Pokemon. Why even try.
  21. Hello. I think it's unfair for Kanto to have Shary/Shaui, Johto to have Pewdy/Diepy, and Sinnoh to have Medusa/Eldir, while Hoenn is left out and is boring with no Boss Duo. I suggest putting a Boss Duo on the Moon where the 15k entry can help offset the high rewards Boss Duos give. It could be an awesome Boss Duo with Lots of Hoenn legends such as Deoxys, Rayquaza, Latios, Latias, Regirock, Registeel, Regice, Jirachi, Kyogre, and Groudon. It could also be a great opportunity to add any potential Deoxys Forms to PRO, if even just to be used by these bosses xD. Thank you for reading, and feel free to share your thoughts! ♥
  22. Enjoyment: I loved the quests, art, and story. But hunting feels like a form of punishment. Harsh Odds Ruin Everything. Quest Difficulty: Quest was perfect. 10/10. Story/Lore perspective: Awesome. 10/10. I love Nidoqueen + Jellicent lol. Effort/Reward Ratio: Quest rewards are Great! Hunting makes me want to quit. I pretty much loved EVERYTHING about the Valentines event. Except these things: 1. Event forms have been too rare for too many years. Too exclusive. Halloween was perfect at 1/50, I don't know why it had to be changed. 2. Tier 8 like Vupix-Alolan and Bagon feel like tier 9.5. 3. The Grass Patches in Dragon Neck and Nido Isle are too small for me to hunt in comfortably with my finger / joint issues. 4. Encounters, on the high end, seem to be taking longer to find 1 wild Pokemon than I've ever seen in my 5 years playing the game. 5. Repel and BMS seem to be working less and less often. 6. Ever since the xmas event, I've noticed that more Pokemon than usual, much more frequently than I've ever seen, have many of their IV's at 09 or below. 0x4 very very often. Speed 01-09 like 90% of the time. 7. Compensation for crashes should be global tier reducton of all tiers. Not an impossible World Quest where you can hunt 4 hours straight for 1 tier 8 pokemon and fail to complete WQ. These things are making me reconsider playing, lately. Everything feels impossible. I caught 500 bagon and didn't get a single epic naive sheer force, and I used bms for all 500 catches... The crashes have nothing to do with my demotivation. What kills my motivation is when odds are too harsh, And I feel like lately, the game is moving back to the old days of it taking 1250 encounters for 1 bagon in dragons den before hoenn. 1193 encounters for 1 absol in mt silver 3f with ms before hoenn. 210k spent in johto safari wet zone entries fishing with super rod for only 7 feebas before hoenn released. Last but not least, 5 months of skrelp hunting without leaving route 107 / dewford for 61 total skrelp to get my first Adaptability Skrelp before BMS existed. I thought we had moved past higher tier pokemon taking 2-10 hours to find 1 of that species, but looks like I was wrong.
  23. We all know that the servers are unstable. But in addition to that, the game feels slower and slower as time goes on. In all my years playing this game, I've never seen such duration of time between wild encounters. Back in the day it was always 2-10 seconds or something to find 1 wild pokemon. But recently, I find my self going 15-25 seconds for 1 encounter, regularly. Then it feels like repel hunts got nerfed to be more regularly unlucky where you can use 150 super repels and find like 1-3 bagon instead of 10. And now all of the tier 8 hunts feel like they are taking 300 encounters to find 1 of that species. ALSO ever since the xmas event, I've been seeing very low IVs on more and more of my catches more frequently than I've ever seen. Even if there were ZERO CRASHES I'd feel the same way and not want to play. These things are making me not want to play, when you add them up: 1. Everything I catch has like 4 IV's 09 or below. 2. Tier 8 feels like tier 9.5. (I hunted 4 hours non stop in Alopix WQ and found ONE alopix...) 3. Takes 15-25 seconds to find a single encounter in the grass sometimes. 4. Repel hunts feel bugged sometimes, or nerfed. 5. BMS (Blk Medalion) feels bugged sometimes or inaccurate in claiming to be 20% increase in Hidden Ability chance. 6. Event Forms are too rare. 7. All of the grass patches of new event areas are too small for me to want to hunt in, considering my hand and joint issues. (Looking at you, Dragon Neck and Nido Isle.) 8. Free safari events and Safari Pass shouldn't kick you out after 20 min. 9. Compensation for crashes has been contradictory and hypocritical. To be honest. All rare pokemon should have their tiers reduced by 1 whole tier until whatever is causing the crashes is fixed. All tier 9 should become tier 8 and all tier 8 should become tier 7. I can't do this anymore. 10. World Quests need rework. Remove possibility of 2 tickets but reduce the 0.5% requirement to 0.35% or 0.4%. Make WQ hunt not feel like tier 9.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In conclusion: Time is of the essence. Everything in the game is taking too much time. I and many others will probably decide to redirect where we invest our time, because pro is taking too much of it and not providing satisfaction. Feel free to discuss and share your thoughts. These things have been eating away at me for a while now. I Love PRO with a passion and I'll fight for my in-game sanity!
  24. Hello. I hunt a lot and have some finger / joint issues which make it annoying / painful to hunt in smaller areas that require more frequent button presses. To get around this, I either hunt in bigger areas so i can hold an arrow key for longer, or in smaller areas I will sometimes put an object on my right or down arrow key that is heavy enough to keep it held down, then I can just press up to go up and release up to go down, or press left to go left and release left to go right. There is a chance this isn't the cause of anything, but I've noticed a pattern the last few times that I forgot to remove the weight from my right or down arrow key, before going afk out of battle, between encounters. If i keep the right arrow key held down out of battle for 1-15 minutes, after catching a few pokemon or doing a few encounters, and my right key is held down for long enough, i will go afk and come back to the server being down. The last 4 times that I forgot to remove the weight when going afk, the server crashed soon after. It's worth looking into, even though there's a chance that my actions may have had nothing to do with crashes, there is still a chance they did have something to do with them. Thank you for reading. I hope we can find the root cause of the crashes soon! ♥
