I dont play pokemon for warm fuzzy feelings, and if I did what you described isnt doing it for me. There are certain things that should be a grind to obtain: respectable amounts of money, shinys, good IV/Nature Pokes, but I went nearly a week before seeing a staryu besides the free one from Olivine. There is nothing so special about Staryu or Shellder, or Houndour, or a lot of other pokes that it should take that long to see people start encountering them. Encounter rates below 1% are just ridiculous for Pokemon that arent shiny and arent guaranteed to be any good. If thats going to be the case, then there needs to be a minimum IV threshold for those specific pokemon or something to make them be worth hunting for at such a low spawn rate; thats really the only way I see it worth anyone's time. Even from a non-comp players perspective, right now people are doing a lot of grinding just to sell things and acquire wealth, from those peoples point of view the issue should be the same. Even with bearable encounter rates we wouldn't be guaranteed anything good with IVs and nature for the most part being RNG based. Increase encounter rates, nerf the synchronize over-world effect to like 25% to balance it out and make hunting and grinding out sought after pokemon actually rewarding.

What are your thoughts on encounters and encounter rates? Personally there are a couple things that have had an issue with, the first being how rare some of the MS spawns are. If I am paying for the ability to find some things that I couldnt normally find, It shouldnt take me 8+ hours of killing pidgeys and rats before I find 1 MS poke. It cost 5k to go into the safari for 20 minutes, Its kind of annoying spending 20 minutes killing exeggcutes and paras in a MEMBERS ONLY AREA THAT I PAYED TO HAVE ACCESS TO(inb4 mute for caps.). The second issue I have is spawn rates of things like Shellder, starters, eevee, and Im sure there are more I havent thought of. When there are more shinys being found then Shellder or Staryu, you dont have balanced spawn rates. Im not saying things should be easy to find, just not impossible. When I find a shiny before I find a Shinx, which is a poke I pay real money to encounter things probably need adjusting.

If you feel like there is a serious problem, I would suggest talking it out with Shane. He has been really good about communicating with the player base like a person and not a mindless robot. I didnt read all the comments and I dont know the situation, but in any situation if you feel like your voice isnt being heard its best just to go to the supervisor. Cheers.

Inb4 you need to let go of the handhelds, this is an MMO! WALKING SHOULD BE A GRIND!!!

good luck, str8 bois

The nature is meh, but with IVs like that who knows. Id say anywhere between 50-80k depending on the buyer.

Shane confirmed Saiyan Suite, game over.

The fact that youre bragging about having 300k is only proving my point.

The original Karate Kid, such an underrated movie.

Bump, not having fly is hindering trading. Its a pain to meet up to trade when we're half a continent apart.

This is pointless, nobody has any real money yet.

I agree with the OP. Im not discouraged by the Pokemon spamming, but the troll faces and some of the responses by the staff to community annoyance is just plain childish. There are a few people who really need to be looked at, Im not going to name any names, but a couple are apprentices, who absolutely abuse their authority and treat players like complete crap. banned from the TS server with a message: "because I can 420 Blaziken" is not something I as an admin would find conducive for my games image. I know the TS thing is owned by this person, but it has PRO's name on it. TL;DR Stop hiring 12-19 year olds to moderate 23+ year olds. Im all for keeping a certain image with this game but these people are hindering that.

If someone else wants ownership of the thread just PM, I had to make it to secure us a TS Channel on their server. There had been a few of us on there since the release, enough that I thought we needed our own channel.

re made the Saiyan suit with more detail, still needs some refining but im not too great at making them look less like something done in paint.

WOMAN! WHERE IS MY SAIYAN SUIT?!

Yea, all those people with numbers in their names.. unaesthetic.

Im not clamoring to cling to the handheld. I just don't see the benefit of this besides just money in Devs pockets which is fine, but I think there could be more beneficial things that can be done. I get you're trying to make what would usually be useless/valueless items have some value, but escape rope and fly have not the same function. I'm not escape roping a cave and teleporting to a Pokemon center, it takes me out of cave/forest ect and takes me back where I entered. As far as healing goes(potions ect.) Why not get rid of them and ethers and make 1 item that cures HP, Status and PP usage? It would be more desired and would cut down on the need to bother traveling to Pokemon Centers to heal in turn reducing the value of needing to fly. You don't need to bother coding in a subway system when you have fly, which has to be earned to use anyways. Instead of the cannon location, make it to where you have to complete the region and receive the HM from the Champion after the match? At least then youve had to traverse the region quite a bit and earned every badge and beaten that regions league just for the ability to fast travel. I like the idea of unlockables for players who have spent the time to go through all the nooks and cranys and really played the game. This could be a great thing to have in that category because its not exactly essential to the play of the game like surf and strength are, but its nice to have. TL;DR I dont think it should be introduced cannon, I just dont think you should have to pay to use it either and there are other(more game play oriented) ways that it could be introduced without it killing the use of other items.

Dont put words in my mouth, Im not saying that at all. Youre also missing the point where someone who has millions or probably even a littlle less than a Mill isnt going to bother grinding payday, especially if its not yielding the cannon amounts which I stated would have to happen for it to be a viable add in. Ive played a Pokemon MMO with no payday, Im speaking from experience.
