I certainly hope that you do comprehend the existence of the insane amount of players who make their living off "merching"/finding items being sold at a rewardingly low price, only to sell them for a few thousand pokedollars higher, whereas simultaneously, there are players who don't mind paying a bit extra for an item that they deem neccessary for their keeping/personal usage.
Of course I do and those are not the people I mean, I am not complaining about adding 10-20% to the price to make some profit, no I am talking about the people buying dozens of items and doubling or even tripling the price out of no where.
160916 As Zuper said I would also like to see the price go up for ms because at the moment I wouldn't sell it to anyone and I never have.If you have a problem with the price go work for 5$ call your bank link your paypall and donate. I couldn't care less if a user bought ms from me for 200k and sell it for 400k because that means I'm stupid enough to do it in such a way. I will ask my price and if I'm satisfied not have a care in the world what happens to the rest of it. It's simple really, and I don't care how much time you spent collecting say 200k for ms because all you used was time, what I used was really money obtaining it.
I understand and respect that, however you have no place in this thread then since as you mentioned you never actually even sold a MS or another item to another member caring more about your meager five bucks and the profit it brings to you then actually caring about the fact you are making a donation and support the server.
Hilarious.

161105161097 I think you shouldn't be able to trade mounts or ms, and that you're able to buy mounts for 100k on the shop and ms for 150k but you can still get them from donating. That way, it would be obtainable and it would be a little bit harder to get rich when you immediately start the game.
That way, donating would be less rewarding, and even more voluntary than it is today. Unfortunately, the donations would most likely decrease this way, as a result of far too many people having a tendency of being selfish over all else.
Indeed, this would wreck the donating system all together and you will end up with a very select few donating.

161093160501 I think with regular items and Pokemon it is not needed but when it comes to items from the shop such as MS and other items it is a good idea.
The reason I say this is because I have noticed a increasing trend where players are buying MS cheap, only to sell it for 2-3 times it price just inflating the cost. In my opinion this is a very bad trend when it comes to shop items as it makes them unnecessarily expensive and less people will be buying said shop items which will hurt in donations eventually.
At first a ms was 120-130k now thanks to re sellers, you can look at 200-300k.
If the developers were smart they would put a fixed price on shop items or they will have a great chance to loose donations in the end because more and more people will be unable to afford a MS or another item as they require a greater amount of pokedollar farming.
If my Membership Medallions sell for more pokedollars, it will only encourage me to donate for MORE, not less.
Also, do not forget that the amount of pokedollars flowing in the system only INCREASES by every day that passes. In other words, players become wealthier, gradually being able to pay/offer more pokedollars for the aforementioned item(s), not poorer.
160520 No, it has nothing to do with fewer people playing. I added a few people who sell shop items on a regular base and while they will sell it to me for a normal price in public they refuse now because they are to worried about people simply reselling the items, costing them revenue.Just look at trade, there are plenty of people looking to buy them but the problem is the higher resellers.

I respect that, you bought it and its yours to sell it for whatever price you want, I dont think I ever commented on that did I? Only at the people merely buying and reselling, doing it purely for profit. When it comes to the MS I agree that it always has been rather cheap, and why I have no problem paying 200k now.
My biggest concern is if this trend continues and the price go's crazy.
I see less newer people using a MS, and as the price of the shop items increases it will be harder for them to get one. Now I can hear you already say that is their loss and I suppose so. However my fear is that with out the shop items some of them may get burned out by the cruel slow progress.
160973 OP it just sounds like you're mad you can't get MS for dirt cheap now. Playing the market is a part of every MMO and there's nothing wrong with it.It is if the game has a small community, and the buyers/sellers are few in numbers. Games like WoW, EQ, EvE etc I completely agree.
I understand a lot of people want to be part of the Rochchilds family but can't in real life so they take out on a video game. Whatever, I will continue to play and enjoy this game even when you tards completely broke the market.
Just do not come whining on the forum when the game is dying out because the market has become completely inflated and no new player can properly enjoy the start of the game because he or she can no longer afford anything
I have seen it happen in a lot of small games, and PRO wont be a exception.

160567 I don't ever use the trade channel, but from my last post, apart from the first line, the rest is pretty factual as in that no matter what's happening it can't be different, unless they've found a way to pay less than 100c, which would be a different issue entirely.
I will try and explain it as simple as possible one more time.
Take my self for a example. I am a fequent MS/xp boost user. But because I am unable to buy them directly from the shop as I lack a paypall account I am depended on the trade channel and other players. Normally it would cost me 120-130k for a MS and around 30k for xp boost. Now its 200+ for a MS and around 50-60 for the boost. That is almost dubble in price. Normally you would explain that by supply and demand, a lot of people wanting one is a higher price. And as the need for it would drop so would the price.
However as we all know due to the lack of a android installer, unstable servers and the delay of Hoen the servers arent nearly as busy as they ones were and less people are playing.
So how come prices have almost dubbled then? Well if you would actually use the trade channel and payed attention in there you would of known that there are a serten group of players buying in said items only to resell them at a higher price. These are players that put a lot of hours into this game and are hard to compete with financially so its easy for them taking items at a slightly higher price and sell it for dubble the cost.
For me that means I would not buy xp boosts any more as i am a casual player and while i can easely make 200k a month. 60k for 3 days is just to much so as a result i would stop buying them, thus decreasing one being needed from the shop, thus one lesser donation needed.
Now luckely there some nice sellers out there still that do not join in with this bullshit and contiue to sell it to me for the normal cost.
However I am sure not all players are that lucky and as a result they simply wont buy a MS, xp boost or coins.
Shop sellers buy x amount of stuff and hope to sell that for ingame dollars if that becomes harder because less and less items are bought because of the increased prices they will stop donating as they will look for other means of a income.
I cant explain it any clearer then this about how player driven inflation for ingame shop items is a bad thing.

160589 Already available?
Route 3 is :D
-
160558 You half sound like you're defending people basically scamming, yet arguing for a way to stop them.
The cost of membership is 100c, what happens after that is down to the player who bought it
What people want to charge for anything in game is their choice, buyers choice is whether to buy from them or not, I don't think there's any need for control, since there's no obligation at any point.
Except that is not what is going on right now, if you payed attention to the trade channel you would see that. People are trying to make profit of buying and reselling store items. If you have never noticed that i suggest you pay better attention towards the trade channel.
Biggest problem is that people are selfish and only care about there own enjoyment and gameplay and they could give two shits what a broken economy can do with online games.

First of, thanks for taking the time of looking into the dig spots and giving us a update.
My only complaint is the location of the new spots on route 3, it looks a bit weird and does not really make sense to have a hole like that in the middle of the road.
Would it not look nicer to have it on the sides of the mountain? You can already walk on it, theres just nothing there right now so some dig spots would look ok, and imo might even look better then the current spot of the new dig holes.

160521 this is some joke! i play in mmo games when i have 14y old now i have 27 and never see in game that situation who need h to get something. people are boring faster then they catch mew because 350h is crazy.. all players do kanto and johto in max 150h so game is after this boring and dont want play next 200h to walking around maps to do nothing, but need 200h more.. i glad i dont play in this game i w8 for hoen now but i thinks and see when this hoen start online im leave this game from boring and my all passion energy and motivation for this game is ending this waiting.. ;)
Players fault for rushing and not enjoying the game.
I am 200h in and about to head into Jotho, got 232 pokes, 267 seen and 114 evolved.
I see so many players rushing trough everything, buying level 100 pokes to cheese everything and then whine about the fact they are bored with little content to clear.
Hi-la-ri-ous

isnt one of the problems also the lack of players that supply the ms? :P lately there is never a queue unlike before where u waited hour to log in. many ppl are leaving or waiting for hoenn and ppl who donate are less and less active. thats why ms went from 130k to 220k...the stable players left while the new ones are comming
160388 Isnt buying pokes and selling them all based on the buyers and sellers perception and desire for the poke? So making a "fair" price is really not possible since it is based on a person's perception. Plus you can always hold the pokemon till someone buys it at your wanted price. Idk.theres a slight difference selling good useable pokemon for price that u evaluate it with, and then theres the trash pokemon called "epic" that ppl try to sell for 1mil, while its not worth 200 for the pokeball (while knowing it) and spaming trade chat with it for week, while making the real trade offers go up and up in chat windows till others cant see em ._.
No, it has nothing to do with fewer people playing. I added a few people who sell shop items on a regular base and while they will sell it to me for a normal price in public they refuse now because they are to worried about people simply reselling the items, costing them revenue.

It's just supply and demand, if no one will pay the prices, they'll have to lower them.
I don't see how it can affect donations though ?
The coin cost stays the same
Because of the higher price less people will be interested in buying MS, meaning less MS being sold. MS are bought because someone donated. If the requests for MS drop, so will the donations as people wont be able to sell them as much. It can break the market. Supply and demand aint got nothing to do with it as I can list several players that I know who have a habit of buying cheap and selling high, even using fake bids to make it look people are interested in it.
If you are a experianced player you may not be tricked by these shenanigans but new players are easily exploited by it.

159881 [Censored] guys how is this a bad suggestion?
A suicune has already been gifted to a player and non other can obtain it, what creates more envy than that? Pretty good evs it had. So he IS on adventage, but for the wild ones...nerf base stats to make it useless for pvp.
Low encounter rate, hard to catch, uses roar at start...
Being all equal is boring. I am not sure what the story is behind his Suicune but I am sure he had to go trough a bit of effort getting it, be it a gm event or winning some tourny. Its not like a admin went, here have a legendary no one has.
As for for;
Low encounter rate, hard to catch, uses roar at start...There are moves and abilities that make roar, teleport etc useless.
I get that you maybe be jealous about the fact someone has a legendary that you can not catch but it makes for a much better game. This way they can use legendary Pokemon as rewards.
Again I get you just want to catch all the Pokemon like in the standard Nintendo games but you need to realize this ain't such a game nor will it ever be.

159848 Interesting. Like I've experienced, or thought so at least, that it's sort of related to items, might have been just the server lags though.
Ever since I make sure to open my bag every x encounter I never experienced a freeze since, and I never had so many items as I had now so I really doubt it.
But hey, beta videos games, so who knows :Ambivalent:
-
159843 The more items you own the longer the freeze will occur; Just wait, do not close the client to prevent rollbacks/loss.
This is in correct. I was thinking this at first to before I knew it simply had to do with opening your bags in battle.
I did several tests and I would even freeze when I had no items in my bag.
Its all about using your bag or not.
The more battles you had not opening your bag, the longer and more severe the freeze will be.
From my experience one can have about 10 battles before he or she should use their bag to avoid freezes.
-
Atlow, no offense as I am sure you mean well but the ideas you keep suggesting are pretty terrible and I can't shake the feeling that you are playing the wrong game.
-
It is a bug that occurs when you had several battle encounters where you did not use the bag function (this includes against other trainers).
To avoid it in the future simply click on your bag after every couple battles. You do not actually need to use a item, just open up your bag when in battle.
This will prevent the bug from occurring.

146102 I just say this hour system is useless, the only reason why I don't have this pokemon is because I don't have played enougth..
Then I say it is working as intended. I would hate seeing everyone having a Mew and Celebi. Infact I wouldent mind it if they added even more hours to it.
159023 I understand the 350+ hours, in a way. But I think it would of been better like 100% Pokedex and maybe 150 hours. or some other requirement that is difficult but not time related.No because that would mean people would have to do hardly any effort to get it. You simply buy all the pokedex entries and wait a couple of days.
159157 i think 350h for mew is good ;)I honestly hope that the next legendary being released requires at least 500~ hours

:cripes:
:n: :n: :n:

Mew/Celebi not giving a sense of progress? Lol
You do realise your idea eventually amounts to the same thing. You get it and are done.
Next thing you know will be suggesting for characters to gain stats and perks, oh wai..
I don't think this is the mmo for you if that is what you need to have fun in a Pokemon game.

Character leveling in Pokemon?

157935 finally, i know what happen, i have enough 900 pokemon and this game dont allow catch anymore. :Cry:
u wot?
That poor manual box search.. RIP
-
How many poke balls have you tried, and also do you put them asleep?
I lost count where I put the Pokemon at 1hp, and under a status effect such a sleep to only to end up still using 20+ poke balls trying to catch it.
This is not the Pokemon you played on the Gameboys.

Old player returning to check out the game. Used to play on the blue server, told me log into the dashboard wich I did but it keeps telling me my username/password is wrong wich its not since I logg in just fine into the forum or dashboard
I did do a password reset before I tried playing again so maybe it takes a while before the change is made on the game server?
