    You both are wrong on Pay Day. If you can't see the following point, I can't help you.

    With Pay Day in game:

    Player 1 has 500 hours, been using pay day for months or years, has accumulated mass amounts of money. $1m lets say.

    Player 2 has 10 hours, has no money, uses Pay Day, but still so far away from the rich and will be for a long time. $0 due to spending all money on bike

    Gap = $1m

    Without Pay Day in game:

    Player 1 has 500 hours, not exactly the richest man in the game. $500K

    Player 2 has 10 hours, the player is new, but the gap is not as wide as it would be with Pay Day.

    Gap = $500K

     

    Also on the sarcastic point you make "well older players should have more."

    I'll be that guy and say yeah you are 100% right. It is only an initial advantage though. I am not going to trade my shiny Machop to a new player until they work hard and earn some money or Pokémon to trade with. You make it sound like on hour 1, a new player should be able to compete economically. No, not at all!

     

    @Mephilist

    You are from Missouri. You should know what I am talking about. The Cardinals have a good MLB roster and good farm system. An expansion team shouldn't be able to compete until a few years of drafting and developing.

     

     

    Good point. :y:

    YOUR Favourite Pokemon Show/Manga/Game etc..

    Hmm, my favorite game... That's tough, I would probably have to split it between Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.

     

    Show: Split between Origins and the original season of the anime.

     

    Movie: The one with Mewtwo and Mew and the cloned pokemon.

     

    Manga: Never read any pokemon manga.

     

     

    Thisll sound really sarcastic but the movie you refer to is called Pokemon the first movie....

    Fly and other HM use

    Vegetas right on this one. Fly is just a ordinary more (that can help ease travel). Dont know about everyone else but I for one do not want to Walk all around Hoenn when its released.....

     

     

    "ordinary move" not ordinary more

    I think you have the wrong idea about Pay Day. It wouldn't level the playing field between old and new players...it will widen the gap. The older players will have used that move many more times, thus they will have more money than the new player. Eliminating these kinds of moves actually levels the playing field.

     

    It doesnt and this is why, you have to look beyond the next 6 months to a year. Right now and even in a year what youre saying could be true to an extent. The more money one gains the less theyre going to grind payday for if no other reason it becomes not worth the grind. There will come a time where a smaller group of players will hold a majority of the wealth in game. When this happens it will become increasingly more difficult to get the lump sum of the upper class of player to trickle down to the new players because not enough of them will have desired goods like shinys or large amounts of cash to exchange with them. So it will help to bridge that gap, not completely but enough to help the issue by getting their foot in the door so to speak.

     

    I agree with Vegeta on this.
