I had a similar guide on my spreadsheets. I have created a list of items I have obtained through digging, and there are probably others I still have not gotten.

I want you to draw me a "business-esque" spreadsheet using Paint. It should include random statistics, bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs. https://e13o13.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/Premium-Budgeting-Spreasheet.jpg I'm not gonna do anything aside from avatar/signature for this forums. But that is what I want my signature to be, should I take my request else where?

Re: Mt. Goon: Economics Edition <t>Shouldn't we have a "recruiting tag" or something? Also BUMP!</t>

I made one, but I didn't like it :3 So I need to try again - just an update though

This may be an odd request, but I want you to "hand" draw (using mouse only, I must stress this), the most fabulous looking spreadsheet (example: Click Me). And then sign it with "Gradi." I will pay the max.

I wouldn't consider Sneasel a rare personally, probably fits the category of Scarce better, but do not forget that this games has like 10 different rarities or so and I tried to limit down to 5 and since the rarities haven't been released you need to use your own judgement. If I set my calculator to "Scarce" and put the worst stats possible on the sneasel it comes out to "3,240" pokedollars. So technically the calculator says any sneasel caught has a value, but you almost need to use your own judgement again, just because it has a value doesn't mean people will pay for it. Typically most Pokemon that are priced under 10k on the calculator will most likely never be sold unless you are simply trying to sell it to a new player who wants one to use through his/her run of the game. Though you have a point when it comes to being Perfectly IVd and a Bad Nature the calculator gives out too high of a value. So now... I made 1 edit to the calculator and that is increasing the severity of being "bad" natured. As nature affects the stats more than the IVs do, I put a bigger penalty (80% reduction) if the nature is bad. As such selling a "horrid" nature pokemom, such as Modest Sneasel now will output a value of 0 (unless EVs and 100's are checked).

It is highly unlikely that pokemon will decrease in price, as the money flows in at a constant rate the decent pokemon will still increase a value, but the epic ones will skyrocket. I have already thought about this and I can just include an option that will can adjust for inflation. I can either adjust the inflation rate as I see fit, or have the players do it themselves.

When you say base stats are you referring to the actual base stats, as your next comment discusses the IVs. Next let me address your statement: "A Shiny pokemon with 01 across the board will not be that much more than a regular pokemon with 01's across the board." This is false. It may be true that competitively a Shiny pokemon with those horrid IVs has no worth, as such with non-shiny, but not everyone in trade is a competitive battler, there are collectors/hunters, specifically of the shiny variety that would pay regardless of IVs. If we look at some of the current offers for Shinies that are not competitively viable: I have seen a few Shiny Growlithes hit upwards of 800k, and a Sneasel recently that went up to 1.7mil and a shiny vulpix that is roughly 1.4mil. The reason they are paying this high is not because the perfect is Pokemon its simply because the pokemon spawns relatively uncommonly (when compared to zubats / geodudes etc) to begin with + the fact you managed to hit the 0.01% chance of it being shiny as well. My sample size of uncommon and scarce shinies being sold is relatively small, mainly because of the fact that it is unlikely to find one in the first place, so my pricing for higher rarity shinies is just a projection based off the current sales. The "shiny factor" as you call it is set dependent on the rarity of the Pokemon currently with how the formula is written. This "shiny factor" for commons is set to x2, x10 for Uncommons, x15 for Scarce, x25 for Rare and x50 for super rare. And the multiplier affects a set base price that I determined (by trial and error of the pricing of certain pokes, non-shinies) depending on the rarity of the pokemon. Here are a few things I been trying to figure out that may be able to improve the calculator. 1. Does a shiny pokemon that can be used competitively have additional value (currently on the guide it does) 2. Is the "shiny factor" for specific rarities set to high and what is an appropriate method to determine this factor 3. Are the aesthetic value of the pokemon (aka the popularity setting) more important in pricing than the rarity?

1. Rearrange the stat order on the statistics page to better reflect the Pokemon games. A lot players who have played Pokemon are more partial to having the order listed as HP / ATK / DEF / SPATK / SPDEF / SPE, rather than the current setup of ATK / DEF / SPE / SPATK / SPDEF / HP. This isn't super important, but would be a nice change. 2. Have EVs shown while trading, can't tell you how many times I wasted a sellers time because I couldn't see the EVs ahead of time. 3. Implement the Power Braces. Allows for easier EV training and can be thrown in as an easy money sink, selling each individual brace for 150,000 or so. 4. Have trainer battles not give EVs. Though trainer battles give EVs in the handheld its just more of an inconvenience than anything since our trainers actually respawn. If I am EV training a new Pokemon when the trainer battle resets (assuming he is leading my party), then I have one of two choices, finish the fight and remove the EVs after (assuming I have the berries) or two logout and log back in. 5. Trainer rebattles don't happen on sight, have it so you need to talk to the NPC to initiate a re-battle

I am pretty sure this is a sarcastic remark, but not only did you want a Super Rare Shiny like Charizard, you also had it set to be competitively usable with IVs being set to good and nature being perfect. What did you expect? If you think the pricing is too outrageous you are free to make suggestions. Pricing shinies is easily one of the hardest things to calculate.

Updated to v3.0

Thank you for all the kind words, the guide is still being worked on to see if we can be more accurate on determining the price of pokemon.

Hello, thank you for the offer but I think I will pass for now. 100k Vulpix

50k Vulpix

Click Me EXE PS: you need to edit the sections in green Have fun! Obviously prices are going to vary based on a lot of details, but I thought it would be kind of fun to attempt to create a formula for trying to price Pokemon. Only problem this requires you to understand the game itself (to determine whether or not your IVs are good and nature). There are some questionable variables, such as popularity, but due to the nature of pokemon, the more popular something is the more desired it is and therefore the price gradually increases. There is a comment section on the guide (or there was until it got trolled) and there is also one here, try not to troll it too hard now. If you have any suggestions or believe the values should be altered lets discuss it here.
