Smite

i believe the staff have stated that the only real way to force a save for anything is to log out and it will be there when you log back in. items/money are saved pretty often if not instantly on change, while pokemon is the problem having to wait anywhere between 5-20 minutes to save it unless you log out. i have two of my experiences to add to this(i usually play at night time usa/uk so im on when the server crashes most often). first i caught a venonat which went straight to my party and since it had compound eyes as i was looking for i went to route 16. when i got halfway to route 16 for the hm fly quest, i had just left lavender town, server crashes, and when it comes back up i have no venonat in my party. second i caught a few new pokemon that were sent to the pc, i went to the pokecenter checked on them and pulled one out, server crashes a minute later and when it came back up i had my original party before catching said pokemon and the pc didnt have the newly caught pokemon. if there was a force save button that would be awesome.. granted it would have to have a few minute cooldown

i know it isnt negotiable but this is how i see breeding.. if at any point in the game breeding is released.. pokemon should only be allowed to be bred one time, not with a ditto unless it is another ditto, and pokemon hatched from an egg cannot be used for breeding, ivs would only slightly go up if at all and cannot go above lets say 10-20(randomly lower number if some ivs are already higher than 20), natures should be random, and breeding should only produce a shiny at a very small chance if both parents are shiny. and if it is still considered a potential game breaker.. make one or both of the pokemon "run away" after breeding(breeder can "lose track of pokemon" and its a random risk). this would allow for a few things to happen, 1 it could be made challenging to obtain pokemon that can only be hatched, 2 the ability to give event pokemon out as eggs or even marked as having bred before/unable to breed at all, 3 giant gold sink for those that would want to obtain a shiny pokemon in this way with halfway decent ivs(i only fear for the shinies safety after being... :Frown: ), 4 it would only produce a well rounded pokemon that isnt a monster. enough on that though since it would actually require a lot of work.. on to flying.. if flying itself is the gold sink then it wont be worth using it often. you would have to make the gold sink come soon after flying or in another form such as a license to buy somewhere to allow you to fly outside of battle that costs roughly 100-200k. it means if you want that quick traveling ability you have to pay for it up front. lastly to actually argue against something that shouldnt happen, no exp share or at least not the same strength it had in handheld games. people may hate my opinion on this but making it easier to train a pokemon in any way aside from a small exp boost here and there is asking for trouble. for simplicity trainee is the pokemon being trained, trainer is the pokemon being used, and enemy is one of the pokemon being fought. if it is put in it shouldnt work on a trainee with more than a 10 level difference from the trainer. i say this because exp share was used in a few games to allow easy/fast ev training of multiple pokemon, as well as faster access to areas that would give more money. it makes it too easy to train in higher level areas without the risk. it can also be a potential disaster for ev training if you forget your trainee has it on before being fully trained... i have done that before in one of my games... of course if it is put in and limited the way i suggest the trainee should still gain exp the exp already gained from seeing an enemy and not fainting although that extra exp should be capped to a certain extent if exp share is working. sorry for the long post :)

i honestly wouldnt mind not being able to play until the day after christmas/day after that if it meant very few/no duped items get away unnoticed.. if even one person gets away and makes multiple accounts i know how bad it can get... especially since that looked like it could be done with a brand new account to the nugget from team rocket.

wow.. im glad you guys are handling this better than the gms did in a game i used to play.. the players told them to rollback the servers as soon as it happened so that only 1 day would be lost.. they didnt haha.. game was ruined afterwards. now im sort of glad i cant trade yet xD well then again the dupers grabbed anything easily turned into money and duped that along with any items they had on hand at the time that could make them strong one way or another. so i suggest watching the pokemaniacs items/rare candies/permanent stat boost items/etc.. you probably know more than i do so ill stop haha
