    How much for just leveling service? +- level 30 to level 49

    I generally don't do just leveling because I have no idea on how to price these kinds of services.  Unless you're Pokemon is already fully ev trained, while leveling I will be automatically ev training as well. The prices would get all mushed up.

  2. Thank you for your input. I don't really care if this feature comes into existence or not. It sounded like a good idea hence I supported it and the counter-arguments that I received were not convincing enough to stop me from supporting. Hopefully more people can refine this idea to make it fit into the game through sane discussions instead of insulting each other. Cheers.

    If this were to work off of Yen, how would you propose rentals work? If the suggestion is to simply pay a flat fee to rent the Pokemon then what makes this any different from just using the GTL proper to purchase something? I suppose you could add time limits to the rental, but what happens if time runs out? Pay the fee again? Would you do a recurring fee based on days the rental is in a player's possession? To a further point, reclamation of rentals by the the owner is another issue that should be addressed.

    This has been addressed. Rental Pokemon are marked by the system and once the time limit ends the Pokemon will automatically be sent back to GTL where they can await more rentals or back to the owner. The devs will have to decide on whether this can be feasible because I do not know how programming works.

     

    Its a flat fee and it is very different from GTL. In GTL, like there is a Pokemon section and an item section, there is a rental section. Pay a flat fee and rent a Pokemon. The Pokemon will not gain any exp/EV while under your possession. They cannot be used for breeding or for comp. They simply exist to make the story easier for newbies/alts and so on.

    What if, instead of using the GTL, an NPC offered a rental based on progression? Nothing crazy, but the Pokemon offered could be setup to have some utility specific to that gym and they return after you beat the gym or when you log out. Food for thought.

    Sounds like a good idea. If a couple people can give valuable insight on how this could possibly work, then we can work out the kinks and have a proper proposal for the devs to consider instead of attacking each other.

    If you want to do rentals in this manner, it would have to be on a collateral system. Renter essentially has to give up something from their team to borrow from you. This is where this whole system falls apart. With value being a subjective thing, different species are valued differently based on different factors and no all players value those factors in the same manner, the collateral would have to be something of equivalent value to the renter. Which adds more complexity to the design.

    There is no need for it to be a collateral system because the AI/system ensures the safety of the Pokemon, like I said earlier. Once again, the devs will have to give insight on whether this is feasible.

    In order for this idea have any form of usability you have to allow everyone to access this feature regardless of how many badges they have. There is no lower limit on when players start to get stuck in the storyline. Some have trouble with the first badge while others struggle with the second; it's all subjective.

    I am inclined to agree. But seeing as the rental system would cost money, we would then need to incorporate options where even newbies have a chance to make money. That will be very tricky.

    So basically a better and smarter person than you, thanx ^^

     

    Did you come here to argue your point or just insult other people? Grow up.

    Anyway the devs will decide if this abomination is against the spirit of the game or not

    Exactly. So, state your argument as to why you think this is a bad idea and leave it up to the devs to decide. Me and shiningluck over here are not trying to convert people, neither should you. Let's behave like the adults we are instead of throwing petty insults at each other.

    If you want to "play"(?) an easier version of the game, download an emulator and use cheatcodes, coz I have no intention to play a game ultra-easy mode and it would not be fair if other people could. (If your problem is that you don't wanna lose, that's YOUR problem, face it and try to be a better trainer i.o. to win)

    I don't know why you guys are trying everything to make a game we love for what it is and how it works a living trash. If you don't care about catch, train and fight with your own pokemon, go play something else instead.

     

    Just another point: how you think to limit the usage of rented pokemons in tournaments and pvp? Because as before I have no intention to play an online experience where your opponent could have rented, maxed pokemons.

    It's just not fair and lazy.

    Simple. Rented pokemon cannot participate in Tourneys/Pvp. Rented pokemon is solely for everything else other than tourneys, pvp, and breeding.

     

    How would adding this make the game trash? All the OP is proposing is to add another feature that can generate some passive income. The fact that you are comparing this to cheating makes you the same person as Ultrajesus above us. You seem to forget that this is a MMO. Read it again. MMO! Drill it into your brain. And the next time you counter an argument, keep in mind that this game is a MMO.

    Auto-Return timer in 1 hour countdown

    Also include multiple windows like 1hr, 2hr, 3hr and so on. As the time increases the money increases. The windows and the money can be decided upon by the person who wants to put their poke up for rent.

    Grinding is the way PokéMMO was meant to be played

    Not really. Grinding is the way the original games are meant to be played. This is a MMO. And this is not pay-to-win at all. Most pokemon you buy from GTL has been grinded, bred or caught to that level by another player. You are paying for that persons effort. You can't earn free money in this game. Either have to sell your caught poke on GTL, or berry farm, or payday, and a dozen other options for you to earn money. Everything requires effort. 

     

    The only pay-to-win part of this game is shiny hunting. And that is for the dedicated and hardcore players who have invested tons of hours into this game. 

     

    Just because a game has constant grinding doesn't make it better than others games. At the end of the day, games are meant to be a fun and enjoyable experience. Grinding might be appealing to some people, but the other side of that spectrum is just as, if not even more widely accepted. 

     

    Gyms are redundant in this game. Its just a small goal. The real charm of this game is trying to make money, hunt for shinys, participate in tourneys, have some good fun with your team and just do what you want.

    This is Pokémon world equivalent of sending this letter to government;
    "I think it would be good if people could pay a small fee to get past some exams because they lack knowledge in that field."

    If your Pokémon is weak or lower leveled, you are not supposed to get past that Gym to begin with. If you do, you will be even more underleveled for the next content. Gyms serve as a checkpoint to lesser experienced trainers. Their primary purpose is to point out when the training is lacking and make it obvious for the trainer if his team has a serious flaw against a type.
     

    I'm against the idea of a feature that prevents healthy progression of a trainer.

    Haha. That is a joke. As soon as I finished Unova I headed over to Kanto. I did not train a single pokemon. Bought everything off of GTL now I'm battling the E4 and it's only a matter of time before I complete the region. The very existence of GTL contributes to the unhealthy progression of a trainer. This is what you can expect in a MMO. 

  9. Hey there, 

     

    My suggestion is to add a feature where you can see how much money you are spending and where you're money is going. 

     

    There are a lot of berry farmers and breeders that this would benefit. Especially for berry farmers. They can optimize their spending and have steady reports on how their "business" is doing. The profit they are making, the losses and so on. Graphs/charts and the like. 

     

    If you have any questions I'd be more than willing to answer.
