About my Pikachu!

[Orrian]

Hello. So, I recently joined this lovely community of PRO and started playing the game about couple days ago.

 

This isn't a complaint, but I'd like someone to get this off my chest...

 

I found that I was fascinated by Pikachu being able to learn Surf, but unfortunately, I found out I'm not the one with a Starter Pikachu. So, I've read around the forums and heard people ran into this same problem. From what I have gathered, a player can trade with another player that presumably started with Pikachu and they can then help a different player's Pikachu learn surf, yet, I still have this constant question in my mind. Does it matter if the OT is different or...?

 

Anyhow, I had some guy try helping me and he said Victor said something about the OT. So I guess this is a mission failed?

 

If any moderator/admin can assist me or help me on this situation, whichever way it must be to help me get Surf on my dedicated Pikachu, I would gladly pay for the service through Paypal or in game.

 

Thank you! Hope to hear from ya'll soon!

Hi there. Here's a quick clarification on how the Pikachu Surf Tutor works:

 

1. You must have chosen Pikachu as your starter.

2. You can only teach Surf to a Pikachu with your OT (Original Trainer) ID.

 

In the case you've described above, where a non-Pikachu starter trainer trades a Pikachu with their OT over to a Pikachu starter trainer, the Pikachu starter trainer will not be able to teach Surf to the Pikachu, since it won't have their OT.

 

Unfortunately, since you did not start with Pikachu, there's no way to get Surf on an OT Pikachu you've caught. So instead, I'd recommend trying to search specifically for someone who's selling a Pikachu that already knows Surf. If you're willing to spend the extra time, you can also create a new account (provided you have less than four, which is the max per user), start with Pikachu, teach it Surf, and trade it over to your original account.

I do want to make note of one of our game rules here:

 

"4. Trades outside PRO are prohibited and not to be discussed in PRO."

 

That means that we don't condone trading real money currency for in-game currency, Pokemon, items, services, etc. So please make sure not to offer Paypal payment for any service you may request in the future, as this is against our game policy. Thanks for your understanding. :)

Oh, I apologize. I just wanted to ask, specifically, the management team here if they can somehow put the HM on my Pikachu and I'd pay it forward for the service, but directly towards moderators here, not any of the third party stuff or with other players.

What you're describing here could be described as P2W, and PRO doesn't do that either.

 

The means that Pixiu mentioned are the only ways to get a Surf Pikachu.

It's against our staff policy to help with or accept payment for services like that. As mentioned before, you'd have to specifically buy a Pikachu that already knows Surf from another player, or create another account (as long as you have less than four) and start with Pikachu on that.

 

There's not much else that can be said on the issue, unfortunately, so I'll be locking the thread now. Best of luck - I hope you're able to acquire a Surfchu for yourself eventually!
