Pokemon Subject: "Elibel" IGN: Oluthon side note: I used Ponyta and Durant for inspiration. Entry: [spoiler] [/spoiler] Proof: [spoiler] [/spoiler]

Almost every gym in every region has some kind of gimmick or puzzle. Although a few can take a little while to solve the first time, they're still completely fair and often satisfying to complete. Only one is truly frustrating when you lack save states - the Vermilion City Gym. This gym's trash can puzzle is almost entirely RNG - you search for a switch then another, but get the location of the second switch wrong and you have to find the first one again, and it is in another random location. This can be extremely frustrating - get unlucky enough and it can take an hour to find that second switch, which can be made even more painful if the game is lagging causing each trash can search to take several seconds. It slows down the gameplay, and if playing with friends, if one person can't find the second switch the others can be left waiting for them for a long time. Overall, it causes the most player rage and it has nothing to do with the gym leader himself, which needless to say isn't a good thing. This puzzle adds no challenge whatsoever - it's just needlessly tedious, unsatisfying and RNG-heavy. For an MMO, this gym just doesn't fit the pace either. What I'm suggesting isn't to remove the trash can puzzle entirely and destroying the aesthetic of the gym. Rather, what I suggest is fixing the puzzle to be less of a frustratingly annoying RNG fest. There are a couple of ways this can be done. (Yellow = first switch. Red = second switch.) - Only have one switch. The devs are merciful, but the player is still forced to stoop to digging through the trash. The humiliation won't have to last long though, because once he/she finds the switch, they can face the gym leader before they're laughed at too much. - Put the second switch in every surrounding trash can. The puzzle remains almost identical, but rather than having it reset, eliciting a groan from the now smelly player, whichever trash can they pick after finding the first switch will contain the second switch as long as it is next to the first. - Make the switches stay in the same places The trash digging bum has found the first switch, but fails to find the second. Logic dictates that unless that first switch is teleporting, it is still in the same spot. They flip the first switch again and try different surrounding trash cans until they find the second. -Make it a legitimate puzzle The setup of this gym would actually be perfect for a proper puzzle. The player walks in and there is a sign right in front of them (because nobody talks to that guy) telling them what to do. Something along the lines of "start from the bottom left trash can". Upon investigating the can, it gives another hint, such as telling the player to look in the trash can 2 to the east or "above the sailor" (placing the NPCs directly above trash cans and stopping them from moving to make a challenge). That trash can will hold directions to the next one. If the player gets one wrong, the puzzle resets. A few trash cans later and they're at the gym leader. After all, you have to be able to follow orders to be in the military - making this type of puzzle perfect for Lt. Surge. Although the puzzle only has to be done once per playthrough, there is no denying that it is currently a pain to solve, especially since it isn't really solving anything and instead just wasting time. This isn't Fire Red, and there is no need to keep strictly to canon. This gym was a poor design choice in the original games, and doesn't need to be a poor design choice here too. Discuss.

how it currently is: money 150000 how it would like it to be: money 150,000 it can be hard to read without them, and therefore easy to scam people

we can go for 72 hours, if you're into that

I work in the field of bumming. I have a master's degree in being a bum. My bum-related skills involve playing videogames and sleeping.

Pfft, nor my fault. All Emlee

commas are nice though, it's like the example: Let's eat, Grandma. vs. Let's eat Grandma. or I hate black people! vs. I hate black, people!

I feel sorry for people who have dittos in there safari

Sometimes you can be sitting there for 10 minutes or more waiting for a match so you go to a new tab and watch some videos and get distracted. Before you know it some cheap fuck has AFK timed you out even though you had no clue the battle had started. This has happened to me 3 times now and it affects my ELO and my mood etc so please add a notification like the chat message.

With Pay Day's effect removed when used on wild Pokemon, that leaves only NPCs as the best source of income that does not rely on trade or attempting to Thief items with a low hold rate. When the Vs Seeker is the best way to farm money, it will be used frequently by a lot of players and will become a very important item. Traveling around the region each day using it on every trainer means that the player will be biking a LOT to recharge it. Mindlessly biking up and down is bad gameplay. Now that money grinding is actually necessary, that 100 step cooldown on the Vs Seeker begins to become very noticeable. It's pointless, tedious, and doesn't belong in an MMO. If players are expected to be semi-relying on it as a source of income, removing this annoying session of biking that occurs every couple of minutes would be a small and much appreciated mercy. Pros: -Makes money grinding more bearable and less tedious -Removes something obnoxious and pointless -Somewhat makes up for the inability to fight NPCs more than once per day Cons: -None worth mentioning Discuss~

Le Biochemistry/Premed faec [spoiler]But seriously I just go to class then play video games all day. It's great.[/spoiler]

Hello everyone and good evening to you all I believe some of you may know me but i go by the name ShunGTX. I'm a very polite person who is always friendly but, be warned if you get on my bad side I can be a very mean person seriously don't get on my nerves an all. I pretty much started my PokeMMO career a long time I don't remember the day i first play this game but, I left a long time now so I'm here again and my goodness the game has change quite a lot since I first made my new account on here in the summer of 2013. So what do I do on the game? Well I spend most of my time breeding my comps, buying TMs, selling crappy low levels and high levels pokes for a very low budget and OHKOing NPC Trainer's pokemons with my highly lv.100 OP persian with pay day. Well what I'm trying to do at the moment is to hunt for some OU tier pokemons believe me it's quite hard finding some good OU pokes. I also found a larvitar with beastly IVs based on my luckyness ^^ but, apparently it had a neutral nature.. I also have an adamant venusaur which is probably one of my best comps at the moment the fact is that fudnud made me mess up on my moveset for my venusaur >.> I don't blame him that much he is trying to help me. I do spend quite a lot time on EV training my comps so yea. I'm thinking of hunting for shiny which is gonna take like a month or so since they're so damn rare on this game. So i'm gonna wrap this introduction up I wasn't trying to make it long for all you enthusiasm readers.

this isn't the stream anime thread, pls gtfo this is a high quality thread for shitty images and hilarious puns i.e:

So it is a special snowflake?

Uuuugggghhh, I slept for two hours and just woke up and now I feel sick. >.< [spoiler] I blame Emlee and Muyna [/spoiler]

cuz u only need to borrow 3 comps?

You should've gotten pokemon Y instead

naw, she's an outside cat and I try to keep her inside but she wants to be free. She stares at me and runs from me to the door and when I let her out she's like She only wants love when It's cold outside or she's hungry... but I love her anyway. <3

Because all my cloths are dirty and I haven't had time to do laundry because every time I try to someone takes out my clothes for there own and they were going to a fancy restaurant so I stayed home and am watching youtube videos and drinking. and checking on my eggs, I stuck a dime on the circle wheel so my person skates around in a circle hatching eggs for me. Best. Sunday. Night.

I'm glad I make you laugh! I'm also slightly drunk, and wish that everyone was here to drink and watch scary movies with me.

dont judge me

IGN:ZeroZephy Gilgamesh's Desarrakis A little explanation on the drawing..since the sandworm does not have eyes to protect itself in the harsh desserts . it emits booming echoes to create a 3d perspective in order to guide its path. and since it lives in ancient times.many warriors have come and carved its symbols thus leaving desarrakis permanent scars which glows whenever it unleashes hell.desarrakis was too weak to battle making it drill its way to the deepest part of the earth.the caves has not yet discovered as of now.but desarrakis has recovered and shall rise above the ground to kill...warriors who tries to tame this creature..beware Teaser Image: [spoiler][/spoiler] Finished Product: [spoiler][/spoiler] Shiny Friend :3 [spoiler][/spoiler]

Winner to be announce May 2014.

Barrage says: An alternative option to the current mechanics is to make it so that more than just one out of the four switches would be an accepted trashcan. Maybe 2/4 or 3/4 as opposed to just one. That way there is still a chance of failing but you're more likely to finish faster. That way it still contains the essence of the puzzle without being too frustrating.

You should use Notepad++, it's the best editor for non-java things. I'd say eclipse is just about only good for Java in my opinion

Close please, not useful anymore.

This is useful. [spoiler] so don't expect to ever see it [/spoiler]
