Regardless, it is highly unlikely that such a thing like this will be changed. While yes, many of the existing changes are based on features that already exist from the various Pokemon games (EV Berries having their Emerald effects, Flash Fire having its Gen V effect instead of Gen III, implementation of a time system for time evolutions, etc). Sleep affecting escape rate/speed has never been a thing, however. Yes it would be logical, but Pokemon does not necessarily follow common sense or logic anyways. Besides, Paralysis already does the job given that it halves speed. If they made Sleep affect speed, it would be immensely broken in PvP. It's unlikely they will change the way escaping works as well, just for the sake of Sleep. Also the fact that they would have to figure out another way for escape rates to be calculated, ending up in a lot more unnecessary work for them.

The only way I see a suggestion like this being implemented is if there is a huge cost/requirement to de-level. Cost ideas: - 99 Stardust or 50 Star Pieces (Staryu, 50% & 5%) - 99 Pearls or 50 Big Pearls (Shellder, 50% & 5%) - 50 Nuggets (Meowth, 5%) Providing one of the sets (i.e. 99 Stardust) would enable the person to lower their Pokemon's level by 1. Additional de-leveling requires another set. Limitation: The maximum level a Pokemon can be deleveled to is based on their current evolution (meaning, if the Pokemon evolved at like level 36 or 40 or 55, it cannot be de-leveled further below that point). Otherwise, I disagree with the whole de-leveling idea. Keep watch over your levels kids, and don't bother trying to incorporate certain Pokemon into duel level categories they don't belong in.

Is this going to cost over $1,000 like other "i" products, or will it be more reasonably priced? On a sidenote, points for actually reading Gizmo's topic.

I'm sorry, but this idea is just as pointless as your other one.

The Masterball will always give you a confirmation before use. You'd have to be completely pooped and/or brain dead to use it unintentionally.

Just wait until breeding, ok np. Besides, I'd rather get the Pokemon then keep rebreeding them for better IVs, given how the traded Pokemon all have static IVs.

Wrong. It's every 256 steps = +1 Happiness in the normal games. Here it's boosted to 512 steps = +1 Happiness. 3 Steps for every +1 Happiness? That would be too easy. People here take hours of running/biking around just to max out happiness on a Pokemon.

Another spot you can add is the little pond behind the Warden/Fisherman's houses in Fuchsia. When using the Super Rod, you generally get Goldeens, Seakings and Gyarados for +1, +2, +2 ATK EVs respectively. It's mostly just those three, with level ranges of around 17~30 between the three Pokemon. Can't remember whether the levels are fully accurate, was training there around a week ago. Edit: Just checked, these are the ranges Goldeen: 15-25 (40%) Seaking: 20-30 (40%) Gyarados: 15-25 (15%) Given said levels, it's also a decent place for exp if one really wants that, but if people are trying to keep low, still better to stick to Paras. - I did a bit of a race though with a friend, I had 0 ATK EVs and he had around 25~50 I think at the time. After some time he had already reached around 90 but I had surpassed him and gone up to 110. Sometimes you might randomly snag a Psyduck or Slowpoke though at 5% chance each, both ranged at Lvls 15-35.

I've been playing for a few days with a friend now and decided I may as well establish a presence in the forums. You can call me by Tsriel, or Trsiel, or Chaos or just Arran even, whatever floats your boat. I don't mind. I used to just play casually, and I only recently started teaching myself on the mechanics of Natures, EVs and IVs. I felt that I may as well start trying to get into the competitive side of Pokemon. I've been playing since Gen 1 up until Gen 3, to be honest I found the later gens to be slightly... Disappointing. I never actually finished them off though, so I may do that eventually to finalize my opinion on Gens 4 and 5. I was able to invite one friend so far (she hasn't made a forum account yet, afaik) and am currently trying to get more on here- but you know how it is this time of the year with school/college/work getting back into gear. I also like writing out guides, so if and when I'm more familiar with everything about this MMO (I already know the most common things, such as what works, what doesn't, and what's unnecessary) I think I'll have a go at helping fill up the guides forum. Aaaand that's pretty much it. Bonus points to whoever can guess who my avatar is.
