VAMOS LIVE CARAJO B)

GG LORD

is this my thread now?

I'm just amazed that people participate in raffles from shines that were obviously bought from gtl 2 minutes before and now are sold in tickets for double the price

gg

Babylo and Bfu won sorry for missed the System message..

So @CHUCKunso did a meme thread about this a few days ago which gave me a good laugh, but I wanted to have a more serious discussion about this. Just before I start - I've hosted a few raffles in the past so I can see the strengths to hosting one, but... Surely lately these raffles have become out of control? The number of raffles dominating the Trade Corner is ridiculous and lately several ones appearing recently are just abusing the system. I apologise for the name and shame but wanted to show a perfect example below: This raffle is for 2 shiny Pokemon - this sounds good at first glance. But each ticket is 35k with 200 tickets available - meaning that the person will receive 7m once all tickets have been sold. On the top of my head, these 2 Shiny Pokemon would probably sell for around 4m on GTL, meaning this person has made 3m profit. The fact that there are 200 tickets as well mean that players (their choice of course) may have to buy several tickets for a higher chance of winning - potentially spending as much money as it would've cost them to purchase the shiny from GTL / Trade chat itself. Now once this raffle has been sold, the same person can buy some low priced / undesired shinies the next day and use them as 'raffles', hence repeating the process. Another issue I've noticed is people are asking their team mates to buy the majority of tickets, which of course is their choice, but can ultimately influence the winner of the raffle, especially for those which can be expensive to buy tickets. I remember there was a period when the demand for raffles had dropped and therefore people stopped hosting them, but now as more and more people can see how easy and convenient this method is to make easy $$$ and people are still buying all the tickets, more and more people are hosting their own raffles, with less quality shinies. What I propose: Limiting the number of raffles which one person can host (e.g. Once you've hosted one raffle you need to wait 1-2 months before hosting another) Limiting the number of raffles which are active at one time Ensuring that raffles reflect the market value to avoid people only hosting them to make 2-3m profit on rubbish shinies Putting a limit on the maximum price charged for each ticket based on the intended number of tickets made available Limiting the number of tickets a person can buy depending on the prize and the ticket price Benefits: Stops people from abusing the system to profit millions on rubbish shinies which would hardly sell otherwise Stops the Trade Corner from being flooded with countless raffles (Quality > Quantity) Of course this is just my opinion, and may not reflect the communities as a whole - therefore I wanted to create this thread to see what other people think, potentially I'm in the minority.

I hosted some raffles in the past aswell, but it gets to a point where the staff is allowing gambling on a kids game. Idk how this is good for their image or the pokemmo image itself.

This is probably whats happening by the looks of it, also discussed Lucario and Haxorus, haxorus got a resounding no, Lucario was a bit more split but still voted no.

gg sorry crit

I have received the prize - good luck to everyone ^^

The reason why the limited items are so expensive are because they're so rare, that's what makes it valuable and desired. If you bring them back to the market, the demand significantly drops and so will the price - meaning these items are no longer nostalgic. Regarding new players, the current money methods enable them to invest in around 1 2x31 3x25-27 budget comp per day, or 2-3 days to get a 5x31 comp. Yes this takes time, but the methods are efficient enough for players to eventually build a PvP team. The ladder also helps newer players with this by obtaining an untradable comp. If it was that easy for people to earn money, then it wouldn't be called an MMO - as these are supposed to be grindy as annoying as it can be. From what I understand you're just butthurt because you weren't able to join MMO back when the vanities were a more affordable price (P.S. You can blame a small section of the community for the significant rise). Your reasons aren't strong enough to justify something which could destroy a large proportion of the market.

i wish people would once put a little effort to think about the consequences of their suggestions. If they re-release limiteds they gonna drop in price to a level of probably the current pvp cosmetics in pvp mystery boxes. So no, this wouldnt help you getting out of your poverty at all. Besides limiteds would sell way worse in the time when they are available in gift shop cause they would be way less appealing, so devs would cut in their own knees by re-releasing them. all in all a horrible idea

i think azumarill will destroy tier Nu

2nd and 3rd OT. About 25k encounters for Zangoose and 7.5k for Chatot.

I just wanted to catch rare pokemon... As did everyone else... And you profited off that same feeling in others.. And you had your staff close and lock threads for years. It's wrong.. I was wronged. I can't even be sure I'm playing a fair game anymore and I genuinly advertised and contributed it thinking you were a community of active devs who cared, but the opposite is what I've seen.

Duration : 1 hour for catching and 10 mins to submit entries Pokemon accepted: Nature modifiers: Bold +3 Calm +3 1st place - Highest total IVs. 2nd place - Second highest total IVs. 3rd place - Lowest total IVs. You may submit only 1 entry. Pokemon must be the player's OT and must caught within the event time. You must link your entry to a participating staff member via whisper to submit your entry. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined through the earliest catch time. Must be part of the team to participate (unless you talk to me beforehand) First place: The prestigious title of the Whalelord + 750k Second place: 2x31, 3x27 pokemon of your choice.

Yo! I'm an artist, been doing technical art for the better part of a couple years now. Since we've been fiddling around in Unova, let's switch to the higher-fidelity style of the gen 5 games. (Unless there's plans to switch to full 3D for gen 6 shenanigans...) In short, I think the current overworld sprites are okay, there's nothing totally wrong with them, but I find the character profile sprites really... dopey looking. Or, in other terms, the male sprite in particular looks like a kid getting his picture taken with a pokeball. Very not-battle-ready. So I sprited a bunch of stuff. As you can see, I've given him a bit more of a confident look. His stance is more balanced and calm, he is more presenting the pokeball, rather than holding it in the air, he's looking a little bit more AT the opponent, and the expression on his face makes him seem like he actually wants to be there. Here's a few more customization options I've ported to this style. Ninja Scarf, Ninja Mask, Visor, Poncho, Gloves, Boots, Shorts. Oh yeah, please give us different bottoms. Additionally, I want to talk about hair and how they interact with hats. I noticed with a number of customization options, the hair is just completely hidden to avoid poking out of the hat. This is the problem you guys would have otherwise: However, there is a solution. Instead of just hiding the hair entirely, you could instead choose to have each hat include a mask that is applied to the hair, like so: In the mask, all the blacked out areas the hair will not render. So, apply that to the hair, and in the end, you get this: No clipping, no compromise. Also, here's a completely blank BW-style overworld sprite sheet I made, to help with conversion to a new overworld standard. If any of the devs see this post and are interested, I am willing to help convert assets. Also, will do female sprites if people seem to care.

@EssDeeCee gg received, will open up thread for event whenever im free tomorrow
