Implement Reborn Bot Into The Game

[Hannan12]

Implementing somekind of ingame device eg. computer/pokedex with reborn bot abilities(not the full capabilities) .This feature may include spawn data, repellable pokemon data, rarity tier, smogon data(idk), item data and player data. For players to use it, they need to pay maybe 50k Pokedollars weekly and this can be use as a moneysink. I am a pc/android player, sometimes when I'm playing on android it's hard to alternate between discord(reborn bot) and the client.

Hmm... That is indeed a interesting suggestion.

However, there are 3 things that I would like to point out. 1. Is the current team even capable of putting that kind of time and resources into such a system now, or in the future? 2. Does the PRO community want it and is it going to be a long term beneficial feature to invest time and resources into? 3. Will it outclass Reborn or other community made bots and or applications that executes these tasks outside of the client and what will happen to them in the long run?

 

Personally, from a community bot developer's perspective (who is currently developing a Discord bot for PRO), I feel like this suggestion will remove the little bit of community content/tools we can create ourselves. The API is limited, the public spawn dumps is barely kept updated, Excavation is a mystery, Headbutt is a pain, Honey tree chaining is a lost cause, Graphql is even more a pain and don't get me started on finding updated information about this game externally, besides wiki or unless you know someone on the inside. If only they focused more on giving the community a chance to create tools, I might've been less resistant to the suggestion as a content creator/discord bot developer.

 

Apart from that, I don't see any harm in making such a system and I would encourage the idea as a veteran player myself, but not as a content creator. On the topic of moneysinks, this is a delicate process and it sounds easier then it actually is, so I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. But in short, it would be nice to not having to switch out of the client to gather information that normally should be offered within the client itself (i.e PvP Leaderboards, spawn levels, spawn rarity, pokemon with held items (and what held item), Headbutt, honey tree, digspots and excavation information etc), but that's why we have tools to gather the missing data.

 

TLDR; Not against it as a player, but as a content creator/Discord bot developer. Reasoning: Will remove the small bit of content available to create any content/tool for PRO.

I dont really know if the majority of the community will need or want it, but as a player who spend much time with reborn bot on discord I would say Yes, It sure does give long term beneficial feature if this thing is implemented. Money isn't something hard to obtain that's why it would be a good moneysink imo.

This feature will never outclass Reborn or other community made bots or application that executes the task as I aware the large amount of data these bot and application holds might give the client a bad impact. This implementation will never execute all of the task that is capable by bots or applications and will only run this task : spawn levels, spawn rarity, pokemon with held items (and what held item), Headbutt, honey tree, digspots and excavation information etc) (quoted) 

 

Appreciate your response

i like the idea of new bot commands in game but i don't appreciate another tax implemented in game, there are a lot of things we need to pay and many way to make money are limited now, so i prefer bot command for free
