Iv-Randomizer Alternative

[Darachan]

Alola. I know many players will be seriously upset if this iv randomizer becomes a thing because it will take away the fun of hunting pokemon. so how about instead of changing the ivs all together make an Iv-shuffler which shuffles the ivs a pokemon already has around. this way players will still have to hunt for good ivs to shuffle instead of using trash and randomizing it to something good.

 

Thanks for reading!!

imo, well as what rumors popping, PRO will only last a year or so. A 2.0 will be release and this one will be discarded(I actually hope none of it will happen), so i think it doesn't matter anyway. Even if they'll implement ridiculous ideas like Breeding or even make all wild pokes 31 iv. Its fine for lads to enjoy PRO's last days.

Alleviating the hierarchy from upcoming update

 

<r>Sorry for my bad English which is not my first language.<br/>

As Shane said the info he lecked is 1% from big update, the following is based on what I knew so far.<br/>

But I still want to do something.<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

People afraid of "<COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>pay to win<e></e></COLOR>" including me.<br/>

Everyone knows that pay to win kills game.<br/>

It kills the competitive by creating hierarchy.<br/>

People at the top of it exists with the absolute god power (advantage).<br/>

It forces people to pay.<br/>

Then later people who are not able to pay or not willing to pay suffers from <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>inequity<e></e></COLOR>.<br/>

Eventually they leave the game.<br/>

When only the people with the power remained in game, they also leave gradually because of losing interest from lack of variability.<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

In my opinion, if you guys (GM) really want to implement this IV randomizer, breeding-like thing, there are things you can still alleviate the hierarchy.<br/>

The gap of the hierarchy affected by 2 things: <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>the difficulty to access the power from the one who don't pay<e></e></COLOR> <COLOR color="#00FF40"><s></s>AND<e></e></COLOR> <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>the restriction on the one who pay<e></e></COLOR>.<br/>

Both must be implemented together and at the same time.<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

The difficulty to access the power must not come with the randomness.<br/>

I give a popular game Hearthstone as example.<br/>

In that game, cards represent the power in ladder mode.<br/>

You can get card pack from arena mode for <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>100%<e></e></COLOR>.<br/>

100% instead of random giving actually lowers the difficulty to access the power a lot.<br/>

People could keep playing arena mode and <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>be able to count<e></e></COLOR> how far they still need to keep going in order to complete the deck build.<br/>

In PRO, I can tell that a random reward from boss which give the ability to access to IV randomizing is far not enough.<br/>

Its randomness can't satisfy the appetence and the hard feeling from inequity.<br/>

And most important, unable to create an expectation on fulfilling a target.<br/>

<br/>

I suggest that after we beat certain bosses together for 3 times (e.g. Ravine + Lt. Surge + Morty + Old Lady Janice + Toothless + Steven + Love Island Bosses + Chuck + ......) , we could have a chance from an NPC to randomize IV of one poke.<br/>

Lock some IVs and <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>100%<e></e></COLOR> give at least 18 for the randomized stat.<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

Does farming become nothing?<br/>

In my opinion, YES if there is no <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>restriction<e></e></COLOR> on people using the power.<br/>

With no restriction, they could ruin the system in short time.<br/>

What is a reliable restriction?<br/>

<COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>Time.<e></e></COLOR><br/>

<br/>

I suggest that create an item in coin shop which people can purchase.<br/>

We can bring this item to the NPC mentioned above to get a chance to randomize IV for one poke <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s></s>per month<e></e></COLOR>.<br/>

Even you bring 2 items to the NPC, you still need to wait for a month.<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

The item and the chance from boss are 2 different things.<br/>

Beating bosses for 3 times is roughly equal to a month.<br/>

It's all about equity and the gap within the hierarchy.<br/>

For the people who paid, they can have 2 chances per month, no more.<br/>

For the rest, they can have 1 chance per month.<br/>

<br/>

That's all of my suggestions, the difficulty to access the power AND the time restriction.</r>

<r>come on, like 3-4 threads were made for the p2w issue :/<br/>

lol, that's still gonna fall into p2w, the coins sellers will be selling tons in a month. Then consecutively the next month.</r>

merged 2 similar topics together.

IMO, if we still gets the feature, the IV changing feature should only work on legendaries. The thing that you literally have only one shot at.

 

Though, didn't Thor said there will be a feature to help you get better legendaries? Something like releasing your old ones and be able to catch new ones.

 

So IV changer on legendaries isn't exactly needed either if a legend recatching feature is already being worked on.

 

Besides, it seems the majority wants "YES for black medallion, NO for IV changing", so I hope that's the direction Shane will take.
