  8. I'm gonna try to make a good rant about this, since I've heard that this has been attempted before but to no success. So I've been talking recently with other players about the amount of pokemons that are not going to leave GTL until the end of time (If the owner never stops playing). And right now you're problably like "How is it your problem?" It isn't, but yet it is. Let me explain. Imagine this: I own a super market, I have muliple products, most of them have an expiration date, so if they expire I can no longer sell them. So I replace the expired item with a "refreshed" item. Makes sense. I place porducts for sale and I know that they have a defined expiration date. What happens in GTL is that old things are not being "refreshed", They are just sitting there. And one day GTL will have stuff that is 1 Year old. This shouldn't happen. "But why?" Well, don't despair, let me give you a few points to prove my theory - There's stuff on GTL that have been there since Christmas (GTL release). Honestly, when GTL was released, I thought the 7 day timer was a static countdown, a fixed expiration date, if that was the case the fee would be expensive but being a fixed expiration actually made sense, yet it isn't. Now you can argue that there is an expiration date, whoever places that needs to not play the game for a week. Yeah, but if that happened there wouldn't be that many stuff since Christmas there. Someone else might say that "I sold recently something that I placed on GTL months ago." That's a valid point, and I don't doubt it, but you're one in hundreds or maybe thousands. - The amount of clutter that ended up resulting on a lot of undercutting. No one is really sure how much a pokemon with no 31s is worth anymore: "Oh it should be about 2k to 7k". Nice price range LOL. This is the reason some pokemons, regardless of IVs, aren't worth jack nowadays, because ppl are selling so many of them and they keep undercutting everyone with "crappy" pokemon in the hopes that they will sell fast. Guess what, that below average *insert pokemon name* that you placed months ago for like 5k is still there, simply because the price dropped to 1.4k because it wouldn't sell. Even tho it seems really bad to lose a fee within a certain amount of time, you're exactly at the same position right now, you're still losing that fee because you didn't sell it yet. - I haven't played an MMO where their Auction House (Which is like our GTL, with Bids on the top) didn't have a fixed/static countdown for expiration. From WoW to Elder Scrolls Online and even crappy Runes of Magic. I've played a LOT of them. Even tho mods think ppl here have no idea how an MMO works I kinda have to differ, and prove my point, like I'm doing now. But for this point I don't really have to prove much. Those Auction Houses also have posting fees (Small ones but they're there), and some of them just keep their items for a few days, not even a week. And it works. "But if we do that with small fees ppl would just repost it when it ended". Yes, but maybe there's a few upsides to that. That person would probably have to cut the price a little bit, and post it again just to realise after it expires again that the item/pokemon is probably garbage, and not post it again because he is losing cash. But I'll give more details to the actual suggestion after I'm done giving details to my points - No one wants to take down the items/pokemons themselves, because it is always a lost fee. Having a fixed expiration date will make some people think twice before putting all the junk they caught in several safari runs in GTL, maybe they'll just post the ones that have like 3*25+, which are worth buying, for any player really. Now i want to give a few Pros and Cons that would end up resulting if GTL gets a fixed/static expiration date for its things Pros: - Less clutter, people would just stop trying to sell garbage or overpriced pokemon after a while. - The above also indicates that Hand-to-Hand trading would be incentivated even further for Competitive-ready pokemons mainly, and it might give the spanish/brazilians a reason to play the game again. For as much as i don't like them, the game needs players right? - The undercutting might remaing the same, but the pricing range will be more stable, because the stuff that won't sell will leave GTL. Now you can say that they might just place it again, but the thing is that they can't really place it for the same price or it won't sell and they'll end up "losing" their fee again, they'll have to undercut it, and eventually all the clutter will be at a price that might be worth buying, or some might just get released just to avoid losing more on fees. - Easier time filtering through a wider range of IVs (Very helpful for Budget breeding, and HP breeding to some extent) Cons: - Ppl crying like babies: "Muahhh! I lost 20k+ on fees because my garbage/overpriced stuff didn't sell!" (Buh-freakin-uh to these guys) - More DB entries That's it really. Now to the actual details of my suggestion: As you can predict, GTL should have a fixed expiration date from the moment the item is placed. In my opinion it should be a month , or maybe even 2 months. Most stuff i buy on GTL aren't even 2 weeks old, so i think 1 month is fair. Hell, if something isn't sold within 2 months something is very wrong with it. I don't think the fee should be any higher or any lower, most stuff that isn't overpriced sells within that time for sure. I see a valid "implementation" reason to why this shouldn't be applied, which is applying a fixed expiration date to all current sales is probably annoying work. But those are the ones that need it. Now idk how these entries are managed on the backend of things, maybe it is done so that having an item stay there forever is better for the overall state of the database (because keeping putting an item up will generate more lines, and idk how the DB handles sold and/or expired items), but should it really be like that? Also, if GTL ever gets Bidding, they will need a fixed expiration date too, otherwise it will just run forever, but in this case it can't be a month, it should be few days to a week max. EDIT: I'm gonna add something related to the suggestion. So I went ahead and tried to find where are the 1 month old GTL pokemons, starting from the first item ever placed there (Xmas 2015 - 150 days ago +/-). And after 900 clicks I got my answer. Almost 1/3 of the stuff that is in GTL is more than 1 month old, which is an even higher number than what i was expecting.

  9. Guess I should elaborate more on those OP picks of mine, brutal honesty at its finest. 1: Heroes of Light Looking objectively I dont see many weak points, they have strong players across all the tiers and made some great buys. Only way they lose is if some of their less established players like forfi, plata and imabe fail to pick up many wins 2: The Raging Lions Without being biased because this is my team, Lions got stronger this year. They have some strong returning players who I would argue are top 5 in the game in their respective favorite tiers, along with some great pickups like spaint, giantpipe and Jay who have always been known to get wins. The main weakness will be a reliance on their less established players to pick up wins when the bigger ones lose. 3: Dark Brotherhood A team without many weak points, but without many star players either. Rendiz aside there isnt many players I can confidently look at and say with a certainty they are going to win. With a bit of RNG and strong play they could push for top spot 4: Team Mountain This might be their breakout year, it only took 3 attempts but JJ might finally have a solid team to manage. Bowser aside many of their players are frequently seen as the dark horses in tournaments, the potential for upsets is there and I see them clinching a playoff spot. 5: Gladiators A team with an extremely strong core who guarantee wins, they will struggle if their big players fail to perform as they have done in previous seasons... I just dont see were they will be getting frequent wins from outside of their top 3 players 6: Team UFO Buying a couple strong players and stacking up two teams worth of reserves wont win PSL, what looked like such a promising start buying BB and Raaidn might turn into a disaster with the hordes of lesser skilled players. 6th spot is a generous guess and I wouldnt be suprised to see them lower 7: Houndooms Pretty much the same situation as team UFO, Frags and Artemisa will get wins but I dont see any possible consistency from the remaining players, instead of buying 4 reserves the money might have been better spent on a couple underdogs to get the wins 8: The Road Ninjas The potential for upsets is there, but they are going to need 4 or 5 of them each week if they are going to get anywhere. Spent too much on players who can't guarantee wins each week and they look like they are sorely missing players in certain tiers.

A feature where we can bookmark our HMs / Sweet Scent or other overworld moves, like just below our Bookmarked Items, would be cool and convenient. Pros : All Cons : None

  15. I was actually for dropping hari, as it checks doom like a champ and is checked by dodrio and gardevoir to some degree. I think it's reasonable to keep it banned though, nonthing really switches in on it and it has the bulk to survive some major hits from its checks, I think it'd become pretty centralizing combined with doom, look and dodrio

  19. I'll get into more details I guess. Preseasons predictions and analysis - team by team! UFO - Maybe bought a bit too many players but depth is never bad when you pay 2-3k for most players when others cannot afford them. However, the issue everyone acknowledges is that does UFO have 8 starter caliber players? And that may be the fall of UFO. Bluebreath, Raaidn and Raptori kinda have to be perfect this season. If they won't, getting wins will be hard. Yetto and JIce also have to carry a lot. The Mountain - Will The Mountain get some redemption from the dreadful season 3? A little bit at least is my guess. JJ actually got a solid draft but got himself in a too big of a hole for having to grab 2kers in the end. This is what caused huge problems for Mountain in s3 but the overall draft looks alright. Yubel, Bowser, Kaynine, Toast, Sweet and Gypss are able to beat every player every round with a good game and most the aforementioned players are most likely favorites to win their matches (except Kaynine, kek). The last 2kers are a huuuge question mark. A little bit like The Legion last season, a lot of good and a lot of very questionable starter material who I haven't seen play a lot. However JJ didn't exactly overbid any of his good players. Predicting the biggest fall for The Mountain being too many ties in S5 if something will be. The Raging Lions - Will we get the first ever PSL repeat champions? We actually might. Lions might be the only team that I feel like has 8 starter worthy players with the ability to win any given round. The biggest questions are: Will Walpayer continue his dominance? Is Spaintakula worth all that DPP credits after a breakout season? Will cheaper predicted starters like DrCraig and Jay be able to carry? Easily the most cost-effective draft in all the PSL. The Saiyans - The Saiyans started their draft like last season. Staying in the sideline and in the end grabbing a team full of big names getting arguably one of the best draft in PSL history. However, this season The Saiyans simply lack the big names. First of all I don't think any DPP player is worth 25k especially gunthug. DPP Players are just way too equally good at least the top 5. That aside The Saiyans do have some quality names in their board such as Spartacus and yangsam which have a lot to carry this season. Names like Sebat, Gary, legacy, zeikooo I know can play but are they going to carry against the big starters of other teams? If these aforementioned 4 will have success The Saiyans could be very solid. I'm feeling like The Saiyans biggest thing to win is OU2 and UU2 matches. The Heroes of Light - Just like The Mountain, The Heroes of Light really want to turn the things around. The Heroes have some big names this season in their team like Nikhil, Forfi (I guess these two bribed Egg to be in the same team) and piata. Rest of Heroes are solid with the ability to challenge anyone anytime. Eggplant has the kind of team that can win by a lot every week and lose by a lot every week due to fairly evenly strength team. That is good in PSL because ties are really hurtful. Houndooms - Despite snagging Frags with 30k Vector was able to get a long roster for himself. Vector has some quality starters and a lot of depth making sure inactivity will not be a problem this season. Art, timwaps, Sejuani are all top tier battlers and there a lot of black horses which if having success can get Houndooms far. The black horses are aftershocker, Havsha and sleepy which all went for really cheap but it's question if they can beat the big names. Like The Saiyans winning OU2 and UU2 matches are really crucial. It's also notable Houndooms have so much credits left for the season. Gladiators - Gluumac got in a deep hole for paying a lot (over 20k things each) for Des and Zeb. Gladiators fixed things by grabbing quality players in the late auction with bargain price. Can easily be one of the dark horses of this season. Really comes down to how well do everyone but the well known Zeb and Des play out. A lot of the other guys do have a lot of potential. Dark Brotherhood - Really evenly strength team which can go in a lot of ways. A lot of starters (7/8 of the team) I feel like are somewhat .500% caliber players but can reach .750 on a good season. Expecting Rendiz to carry in Doubles, the rest is highly questionable. How will the Frenchies have success? I know they can play but are they reliable enough to carry? And guessing the order here: 1. The Raging Lions 2. The Heroes of Light 3. Gladiators 4. The Mountain 5. Dark Brotherhood 6. The Saiyans 7. Houndooms 8. UFO (sorry Greck, will you still play CS:GO with me?) edit: top kek I didn't even read these and I guessed top 4 the same with Zebra.

  27. Aight time for JJ's round of predictions (Excluding #1 Team Mountain ofc) Heroes of Light (strong line-up, will be difficult to take down on a weekly basis) Dark Brotherhood (a solid line-up, but can they get OU wins? Who is going to carry them for Oras OU?) Gluumac's Gladiators (a strong roster all the way through, but lacking a true NU player at this point) UFO (a player for every tier, but can those players get wins? Raaidn might lose interest if his comrades aren't getting the W's they need) Hellacious Houndooms (a player for every tier, but can their secondary OU and UU players get wins, how about their Showdown players?) Raging Lions (a good roster, but do they have the players to get wins in UU2 and Oras OU?) Road Ninjas (so far I'm seeing no passion with this team who are already reeling from a poor draft outcome; get your shit together boys and quit pouting)

    How many evs=1 stat?

    If the IV is ODD, you get stats at these intervals: 4/8/12/16/20... etc Starts at 4, then continues to gain every +4 If the IV is EVEN, you get stats at these intervals: 8/12/16/20/24... etc Same as above, but starts at 8. If it's ODD, you can put 252 EVs into that stat and it will make use of them all. If it's EVEN, you should only put 248 EVs into that stat because it does not get anything from the additional 4. http://www.psypokes.com/dex/stats.php This is very useful when calculating like Laz said above.
