I don't know where you got this information but it is false.
Shane is not around this week because of a personal matter and he would have to be around for auction house.
Auction house would also need a client update iirc.
Please unless the information comes from a staff member directly don't believe it to be true.
I don't see this being implemented for almost the same reasons as breeding.
1. Max IV pokemon would become very common
2. Anyone could have a great HR pokemon.
3. (Different reason.)This was not in any of the handhelds.
I'm just going to be blunt. As a player. I would love to be able to name my pokemon. As a former staff member I see a decent community, but the fact they still constantly have to ban people for bad names is bad. Nicknaming would be great, but I really don't see it as a possibility. You never know what the future can hold.
Idk why you keep referring to me as "Yourselves" I am one person non-staff. And I didn't think explaining that this is the community that made the staff want 5o take away caps would be considered toxic.
Even if there were a way to name pokemon I'm sure it would be revoked. You must remember this is the same community that made it necessary to remove the option of caps.
