Do you have an Elekid at all? :Shy: Update: I have one now. :) Sorry!

I think your Paras and my Pidgeot should meet up. :Angel:

C'moooooon. I implemented this just for people like you. :Shy:

Updated Diszpi :D

Updated, you're in Nhizzy. :Shy:

I really like this idea. I do have a couple niggles though. In regards to the "exclusive content", I assume this means clothing/mounts etc? Also will there be an option to be Neutral or switch factions? Or is it a case of you have to pick, and once you've picked that is it? The idea of raids sounds fun in addition to PvP, as it gives those who do not want to PvP a new lease of life after completing story - plus it would be nice to make use of areas such as the blocked off caves near Bill's House, south of Trainer Valley and the one in Dragon's Den. Will these raids be done solo or as a team? Or would you have the option? There is also the idea of rewards and the rank system, I'm assuming the rank system will be like an exp bar with rewards you can purchase from an NPC once you have reached certain levels - but in a raid, will there be some kind of boss reward? If solo, this is fine, but I question how it will be managed if raids are to be done in groups of people. Personally I'd rather a boss fight rewarded a higher amount of "rank exp" for lack of a better term, than to have rewards, to stop the "oh this is unfair" kind of response when they don't receive something good, whereas someone else does. And in this way you can to an extent, choose your own rewards - this also provides a good money sink too, if you make it so that you have to have a certain rank +payment for each reward. Or they could be done alongside eachother. *shrugs* who knows at this point. :Shy:

Firstly, congratulations on your Dratini. I always find mine by surfing in the MS Zone of the Kanto Safari, I seem to find I get at least one per morning cycle there - plus I don't have to spam the rod for hours on end haha. Secondly, this: Bots are not allowed ingame, if they are found, they are banned. I would not suggest replicating the behaviour of a bot in any manner, it is both unfair on players and as Arnie said, it is actually agains the rules. :Shy:

One thing to also bear in mind is that some of these players might not actually know the worth of their pokemon. I was guilty of doing this when I first started playing as I just didn't have a clue about iv/ev/nature/ability and how it affected a pokemon. But I do agree a lot of people use this as a tactic to boost the price too, I know the frustration when someone says "pm offer" and I give them the price I think is genuinely fair and they just close the pm. I can understand it to an extent due to the nature of how the price of a pokemon is determined, since people want it for various reasons - plus everyone assumes these days if they sell low it will be resold for profit. :Shy:

That was the other thing. Luxray mounts. I mean.. look at it. *drools* :Shy:

I like this idea too. :Shy:

Let's just dive in, ey? 1. A little Daisy chain headpiece for Summer, there doesn't seem to be anything Summer/Festival-esque in the Coin Shop atm. Obviously some kind of corresponding outfit would be nice too. 2. Trainer Repel. Avoid Trainers battles for 100 steps! What could be better! 3. Some kind of Do Not Disturb Status (Or amendment to Away Status) - An auto-reply message or a notice in your friend list that lets people know if you are busy, or would not like to be contacted about certain things. e.g. as someone who likes to help people in chats, I get a lot of unwanted PMs - I help in channel rather than via PM because I like to play my game without giant blue blobs of text popping up in the centre of my screen. A lot of these PMs are about subjects that I either never or very rarely help with, for example Price Checks (due to the nature of Trade - fluctuation, personal value etc). I feel that anyone like myself who often answers questions in the channels must suffer with a similar experience, and know it can get frustrating; especially when it reaches the point of being spammed upon login regardless of being on friend list or not. I know a simple solution is to appear offline and disable my PMs completely, but I do not want to feel like I have to hide from people. I simply want to enjoy both my game, and helping people. I feel this is also a useful idea for those making trades on the forums, since you can't stop the odd few messaging you ingame about a forum trade, regardless of you saying you wish to keep it forum only. I'm sure there was something else. It'll come to me later. :Shy:

Re: []~ ❣ Som's Sig Shack ❣ ~[] <r>I'd like to request one sig masterpiece please. Just plain non-animated - Eevee is a hard one to make look ultimate cool like all these other pokes on here but you're a pro so I trust your judgement. :3<br/> IGN: Sumner<br/> Pokemanz: Eevee<br/> <br/> <E>:Shy:</E></r>

Re: [Dangerous] Evolution dubble-trade bug (evee) <r>Hello Illegal. <br/> I'm sorry to hear this happened to you, and although I can't help or give any advice on how to solve your problem, I wanted to give you a pointer, since I understand the struggles of eving and levelling an Eevee that wants to evolve after every fight as an alternative to trade to depleting his happiness (useful for if you don't have a trusted friend online to help).<br/> There is an item that stops evolves, it is called the Everstone and can either be purchased from a player or received from a NPC in Blackthorn (Dragon Club). As this cannot be done prior to paying a 200k entrance fee and without an owned pokemon requirement (I think it is 120, I could be wrong on this one so don't quote me there :)), I feel you would be better suited finding a player in Trade to sell you one.<br/> I hope your problem is resolved soon!<br/> <E>:Shy:</E></r>

It is. So.. 1m offer? ;)

Hello! My name is Sumner. I thought I'd introduce myself whilst I wait for the queue, as recently I've taken quite a liking to reading forum posts, so why not make my own. I am currently on the RED server, and generally sit in All or Help chats. This is my second character, and now my main. I like to help people where I can, make suggestions, and more often than not - make jokes that ALWAYS flop. I wish I could think of something better to say.. But I guess I'll leave it there. See you round! :Shy:

Yeah. :) It makes sense, and it's nice to get an opinion from members of staff, as a player a lot of things are left to speculation about why things are the way they are, and I mentioned earlier that I was sure there was a justified reason. As you say, Windypuff, there are many experienced players in battle - but in my experience very few new players, and from my perspective when I first started I had the impression the battle channel was primarily for players who intended to pvp seriously, and thus, not for newbies like myself when I started. Of course this is personal to me, and may differ from person to person. It just seems to me there's an issue that still has no clear cut fix, and a bit of back and forth with ideas never hurts. :) And of course.. there's always the 5% who don't follow the rules regardless. :Frown:

Haha, a long history in retail makes you think about cause and effect. :) I play for fun though, I can't imagine the stress the dev's go through doing everything they do, I don't think I could handle it. I do like throwing ideas out there though. In reply to Einstein, I understand that but it's vastly under-utilised by the people it's designed for, unfortunately. Maybe one day there'll be an end-all be-all answer to it. :D

I can imagine an auction house is a long way way, I mean atm there's the issue of the amount of players who want to play and the space on the servers, the constant monitoring/resolution of problems/rule breaking etc. I try to donate what I can to help since this game is initially free which is lovely for us but I can imagine it introduces a huge headache on where to place funding and priorities when it comes to development. Personally a short term fix would be just to introduce another channel called "Ratings" and have it include ratings and price checks, and people can choose whether they want to say drop the battle channel to gain the ratings channel, since the battle channel is primarily used by more advanced players who wouldn't utilise a ratings channel. But then this also introduces the problem of a lot of newbies not knowing there's a little settings button near the chat that allows you to join/create channels and arrange them, change text colour etc. Maybe a short interface tutorial guide should be pinned as a main topic on the forum alongside this, if this is an idea that could possibly be implemented. Most people don't even know there's a resync button. :(

Just a note, I heard there was possible future plans for an auction house. I could be wrong in this, but if this were to happen price checks wouldn't be needed as people would bid as they feel the poke is worth - and this would negate the constant effort posting in trade every minute or so and watching it get wiped away in few seconds due to the influx of messages. The problem with price checks is that one poke could be awful nature/awful iv's is absolutely worthless to one person but someone who has a liking towards that particular pokemon or wants it to complete pokedex would put a considerably higher price on it. This also applies to sync pokemon. For example, I was absolutely desperate for a sync modest poke, the seller said he had already received a 10k bid, I offered 15k, the other then offered 20k and I eventually bought it for 25k. I know I overpaid, but the modest Eevee I caught later with it paid for it tenfold. I hope this helps put forth another angle on the matter, but I do understand where you're coming from. :) The whole thing is a bit of an ordeal atm.
