Players Feedback Questionnaire - October

[Shadow2054]

Where are you from: I am from Singapore

How old am I: I'm 12 :)

How much playtime do you have on PRO: 499hrs 33mins on main account, 19 hrs 51mins on alt (mrrayquaza)

Has the game improved since i first joined (februrary): Well, of course it has. Since more moves have been added, the amout of pvp strategies have increased. I also find the item recycler very useful as i have way too many things people dont buy or often have no use like razor claw and metal coat.My favourite feature is the cooldown checker. Now i do not have to waste time going to something like bug catching competition only to find out i still have to wait.

Are there any players or staff I feel that are underated: err...me :/. Im just a random help chatter that spends half my time help chatting. People feel that it is a waste of time but...as long as no one whines about bills book, im happy to waste that time

If i could change something about PRO, what would it be: This is the part i am most excited about, so many things i want to say! Therefore, ill only say the ones i find that i rlly hope get implimented. I know this will never happen but i want help chat rules to be changed so that general chat is allowed. Or maybe you could at least give some active help chatters a small sign to show that they are qualified to have general chat in help chat or something. The second thing i would do is change bosses back to how they used to be, or at least easier. I miss fighting bosses and defeating them without having to be worried that i would be sweeped. Now i have to go to reborn bot and plan meticulously like...when i should use something like swords dance...when is the best time to spam quiverdance...of course, bosses in different modes are coming soon so i do not rlly have to worry. The last thing i would add is better prizes from sinnoh underground. People probably spend so much on stardust and maybe take their time to get tiny mushrooms and berries and even spend ages hunting for that cubone (cubone rarity decrease when?) Or waste pokeballs on that self destructing geodude and in the ends. They get 5 tiny mushrooms, 2/3 pve coins and a root fossil. I do not feel a root fossil is worth that much and it is just depressing to get more tiny mushrooms when you already have like 40. Almost forgot to aay this, please make a help chat rule called: No suggesting google unless its too complicated to explain an answer (Legendary quests). If i were a person asking a question playing on mobile, i would not want to switch between apps.

Final words: Well, thats all and thanks you very much for reading. I sincerely apologise for making it so long.

1. There could a moving pc which we can access from anywhere and see all pokemons. It could be useful for all the pokemon hunters.

There are few more ways too.

Thanks for reading!

[Nech]

Where are you from?: Poland

How old are you?: 25

How much playtime do you have on PRO (including alternate accounts if any)?: almost 600h

Has the game improved since you first joined? If yes, how?: a lot of new content, I really like that

Is there a staff member or player who you feel is underrated?: all the guys on help chat, if I'd have to name one it'd be Highrise

If you could change one thing about PRO, what would it be (no restrictions, be creative)?: oooh so hard to pick something, probably general user experience - for example the quick travel is massively different in all regions, in kanto and hoenn towns are chronological(ordered by story), in johto and sinnoh alphabetical, in some regions there are 5 choices, in others 6, in hoenn 6 is next, in sinnoh it's exit xD for a keyboard user it's such a pain, I always click something different that I want, also some headbutting trees pick a headbutting poke, others don't - it would be great if they all did. Those(and a few others) are some really minor things that would make a really huge difference for me.

Where are you from?: Philippines

How old are you?: 30

How much playtime do you have on PRO (including alternate accounts if any)?: 1,360+ hrs

Has the game improved since you first joined? If yes, how?: Yes, Improved a lot since I played at the start of sep 2015. Many good things change for the better of the game.

Is there a staff member or player who you feel is underrated?: For the staff I have no clue as to who is underrated. There are some players who help the community of PRO though, who I think deserve some acknowledgement. Maybe the guide makers and those who reply to questions and inquiries should have a title in the community.

If you could change one thing about PRO, what would it be (no restrictions, be creative)?:

FLY.

I am hibernating from PRO until some kind of new good event comes up. It's so hassle to travel in game.

I do understand the developers wants players to spend a lot but my god travelling from kanto to johto to hoenn to sinnoh takes a lot of time.

Can we just fly and spend the same amount. Most of us don't want time consuming parts of PRO as I'm guessing a lot of us are grown ups and have full time or part time work.

I want to get in a Boss fight and then to the next.

Where are you from?: France

How old are you?: 23

How much playtime do you have on PRO (including alternate accounts if any)?: 1.000h

Has the game improved since you first joined? If yes, how?: Unfortunately not enough for my taste. There are many abilities not yet integrated into the game. This is enough to demotivate many to pvP.

Is there a staff member or player who you feel is underrated?:

Is not pronounced

If you could change one thing about PRO, what would it be (no restrictions, be creative)?:

We should stop comparing PRO to the rules of

"Pokemon Showdown". Indeed, PRO has big differences (not all generations are in play, some abilities are not implemented, mega are (for the moment at least), not in play either). So stupid rules like forbidding "trap arena" against too strong pokémons like Blissey is simply ridiculous. All in all, it would be good to trust pvP players more than Showdown. PRO is a game apart, so it seems normal that it is his community that decides on these .

[20gengar]

Where are you from?: California

 

How old are you?: 19

 

How much playtime do you have on PRO (including alternate accounts if any)?: 1103 hrs 20minutes as i’ve typed this

 

Has the game improved since you first joined? If yes, how?: uhmm , from what i’ve observed from some topics in allchat and sometimes in help , economy wise the game was better before , however ... i appreciate you guys for the events , revamps , regis quest etc .

 

Is there a staff member or player who you feel is underrated?: i think you guys are doing fine ( i wanna personally thank tigerous again :) if it weren’t for him , i wouldn’t be typing this right now as my account got hacked some time before and thanks to him it got recovered within a day )

 

If you could change one thing about PRO, what would it be (no restrictions, be creative)?: im thinking of not limiting the pc storage but if i can change one thing , i like a rematch of bosses for the 3rd win and the 3rd win only if and only when a player unintentionally dc’d / game froze

[Jumplebow]

Where are you from?: France

 

 

How old are you?: 18

How much playtime do you have on PRO (including alternate accounts if any)?: around 1k1 hours (bell_ro+ dis account)

 

Has the game improved since you first joined? If yes, how?: Yes, and no.

 

Yes there are obvious improvement, such as the coding of abilities/moves, map reworking.

But the overall situation of PRO is not really interesting, there is a problem regarding the current economy and the mentality of players (especially in trading)

People will keep the money&pokemons for themselves, trying to stack, while few people are farming. Adding on the fact that you are making it easier to farm, the market value keeps changing, people aren't willing to trade their pokemons which blocks the market.

 

I have to make my point, most collectors of pokemons and money went inactive. I'm also one of them. My friends are also people like that. Well, maybe i'm narrowminded but that's what i saw happening. They quit because of the changes of the economy, no new ressources and people stacking.

 

Also, i suggest you try coding a new pvp "system"(visual system) , to try to make it more "dynamic" such as you can see the battle of your friend or something, and you should focus much more on PVP. It might give a new life to PRO. Because apart from collecting pokemonsand doing the story, that's what makes the games interesting (for me), well, excluding trading which became stuck.

 

I would say, to improve PRO you should try to make more rewardings event (even if they're challenging) and be more biased toward pvp

 

I know you only asked me to say if the game had any improvement since i first joined (2015) but, for the time i dedicated to this game, i decided to give you my point of view.

 

 

Is there a staff member or player who you feel is underrated?: I don't really know any staff members, nor any player left who is underrated

If you could change one thing about PRO, what would it be (no restrictions, be creative)?:

 

 

Guild system, quick.

Trades => try a reset, the reset would differ depending on your current hour time. For instance, you can only save up to 1 box of pokemons and 10M. I know this will make people cry but i think this is worth looking into.

PVP system : Make it so that people will always think about it, even new players. Make it easy to see, for instance make a new town in kanto where you can only do ranked(II) battle there.

Make a ladder : bronze, silver ::: etc

 

 

Monthly events

1/2 year event, much more rewarding

guild's quest : more reward the higher the guild's lvl (lvl not ranking)

try to make dungeons, instead of bosses, resetting every week, while banning boss-pokes (snorlax, ferrothorn, blissey/chansey...)

 

A farming zone in common for each guild of the TOP 15, with spots depending on the ranking:

eg : 1st place : 5spots, 2nd place : 4 spots.... 5place and so on : 1 spot
