Character Reset

[Asserth]

Hi, I was recently informed that there is currently no possibility of deleting a character and starting fresh unless a moderator does it manually (which they won't do for a good reason as it would open pandora's box for them).

It makes sense that you've thought about it before and decided against it for some reason, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. I suggest adding an option in the game to reset the character which would return the player to the dialog with Prof. Oak from the beginning. To delete a character you'd go to settings, hit "Reset Progress / Reset Character / Reset Game / ETC", type in your password (maybe even email confirmation with a link or something if you want to be extra secure), and then you're done. You can start over.

I know you can create 2 accounts per email, and up to 4 accounts per person, but I still think this feature would be very useful for many players, or at the very least, it won't do any damage to the game.

 

Thank you for your consideration,

Daniel

I don't see why people need to reset as they can up to 4 account per level. It is very much thing enough....

It also make people abuse to take advantage from story again and again. That's reason why PRO avoid people to have many account.

[Asserth]

Just because you can make another account, doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to delete your character and start over. I don't see why it's a problem and a way to "abuse" the game to play the plot over. I've played many games repeatedly because they were good. As Kurt Palka once said, "Any book worth reading once is worth reading again", and I don't see why that's different.

I'd expect it to be a larger strain on the servers to house multiple accounts per person than to delete a character and start over in the same account.

I am not sure about that game you said. But thinking about rpg game which many things only available to players once times. Reset it means you can take it over and over (for example: free stater, free nuggest, free leftover, free pokemon, free money, etc). In fact, people can pass through all story with only around 30-40 hours (Hoen too), which only hard at the beginning. After 4th badge, they can trade with main account and go clear story to it so easy. PRO block player up to 4 accounts as they can do it advantage max 4 times only as the reason. Mass account is not allow, and I believe that many people clone account only for take these advantage. Official reset process means you legit them to alternatively way for mass account.

 

P/s: you can play again 4 times in per server and we have 3 server. It means 4x3 = omg!

You misunderstood my suggestion. After a reset, you'd be starting over from ground zero, as if you've never played before. You won't have the badges and pokemon you had before.

I know your idea, but people can abuse it by using main account and second account (using reset option) for trading all valuable things to main account. And then using second account for farm with the advantage (like I said above). It clear to you now?

 

RPG + MMO game is different by can trading everything. Making reset will make hurt to game. And with 12 times replay, how it is not enough?

[Asserth]

Not exactly, farm what? the 5 pokeballs and 5 potions you get at the beginning of the game? So don't allow trading until reaching a certain level (10?15?) with at least 1 pokemon, and then it won't be worth their while.

No no you don't understand or you are new player, or you try to not get my point? (In fact, people only can trade after 4th badge. So let me remind point something obviously:

 

You can free 1 starter (bubasual, charmender or squirtle)

You get free fossil + moonstone at mt.silver

You can get 1 nuggest = worth 15k at cerulean

You can get 1 eevee at celedon city

You got many abadoned pokemon (in story process)

You got free quest to get pokemon (check in game guide for more detail)

You get alot of money when you finish story all

More and more thing (so long and why I should tell it if everyone know about it??) only access one times in story of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn.

 

And if wanna keep reset character, I will suggestion need 500 hours+ and 1m for fee to reset if implement then (increase +1m for per reset after).... So it will not make hurt to game, help you have enough time before you try reset, avoid people abuse advantage. The reset thing only sound right if you are the old one, boring and want make new fresh start (after you do 12 times)...

MayElesa is absolutely right from the beginning, don't be stubborn Asserth, reset is just a bad idea ...

Plus I don't see why you would want a reset so hard if you can already play 3 differents ways on the 3 servers (enough to try all the starters) ... And I did not mention the 4 accounts

I don't think you quite understand exactly how easy it is for an experienced player in PRO to complete not just the 4 badges, but the entire Kanto story within a day or two max. For a player that has a full grasp on the mechanics, the storyline, questing, efficient farming etc etc, abusing a free reset once you're done reaping the benefits of early game progression would just run rampant. You can make multiple accounts for a reason. If you want to reset a character that bad just make a fresh account and start over. :Cool:
