Remove the limit of buyable coins but increase the price 5x (50 coins would be 5000$ instead of 1000$, 9999 would be near 1000000$). Let them play pokémon and grind money if they don't want to play the slot machines. Problem solved and everyone is happy.

This will never happen, as much as you want it, it won't.

They want you to grind. This thread's point is to reduce the grinding, because it is ridiculous right now. I do agree that the grinding should still be there, though.

If we're talking about reducing the grinding we might as well be talking about removing it altogether. Reducing would be a step in the right direction but removing it would be several steps better.

Easier to tell who is who when a battle starts, also for when official tournaments are streamed, battles are spectated etc.

Suit/tie in colors other than black. I understand the tux being available only in black (though white would also be nice, just invert the colors), but a slightly different suit/tie should be available in any color.

I'm trying to weild a 6 Electrode team and getting 6 comptetive Electrodes each with different Hidden Powers is harder to do than it sounds. You're asking me to spend a solid 2 weeks on the slots just for Hidden Power. It's not that I can't do it, but really it does seem oddly high when Gen 1 starters are only 1500 coins.

Support. Lower the price significantly or add an NPC who will tell us what our Hidden Power is. As said before, it's a huge waste to raise 6,000 coins just to find out that your Hidden Power isn't the one you wanted.

I don't think it makes much sense to have points or accumulate points. He should just give you something different each time. Preferably items that you can't buy. Max Revive, Ether, Elixer, Rare Candies, TMs, etc. Probably have them given out in a set loop so that you can't simply farm rare candies.

BTW 'kill 10 magikaps' is kind of dumb and essentially turns the game into WoW. I'd much rather have it as 'catch me a magikarp'. Or perhaps even a specific nature of magikarp, otherwise it would be very easy.

On that tangent, I would have it be young guy who wants you to catch a pokemon for his girlfriend. Then every day afterward he says "my girlfriend is very happy with the magikarp I gave her, but now my other girlfriend is jealous and wants a (random nature) (random pokemon)." Thereby creating a legendary guy with thousands of girlfriends.

When I finally catch my shiny Electrode (I'm 14,900 encounters into the hunt right now) I am considering a nickname. 'Godtrode' seems a little too on the nose and 'Osama Bin Laden' seems a tad racist/political. Not sure I need a nickname at all but I am considering one.

I've created a program to read the pokemon summary sheet and automatically enter them into a calculator.
It will also log/save the data for future use and recalculations (to get exact IV values)

List of common problems and potential solutions to them
Make sure you are using the latest version of the program available in this post
1.) Class MainWindow not found error message
[Spoiler]
Update java [url="http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp"]http://www.java.com/...nload/index.jsp[/url] If you are unable to update to Java7 update your Java6 and try downloading one of the jars marked (J6)
If this does not work please post any information about it here.
Include what the error was before/after and what version of java you have updated to.
[/Spoiler]
2.) Java Exception error message
[Spoiler]
Update java [url="http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp"]http://www.java.com/...nload/index.jsp[/url] If you are unable to update to Java7 update your Java6 and try downloading one of the jars marked (J6)
If this does not work please post any information about it here.
Include what the error was before/after and what version of java you have updated to.
[/Spoiler]
3.) Nothing shows up in program window
[Spoiler]
1.) Make sure you are pressing the scan button and not the rescan button.
2.) Make sure the mouse is in the correct position when pressing the scan button.
3.) Make sure the font has been replaced correctly and pokeMMO has been restarted.
4.) Check to see that after you press scan the tabs are being switched automatically while it scans.
If you cannot tell try going into Tools>Options at the top left of the programs main window and change
both the delay and the click delay to a larger number (200 is a good starting point for both)
If this fixes your issue you can start lowering them by 5/10 to increase the scan speed.

[/Spoiler]
4.) IVs are completely off or not being narrowed down
[Spoiler]
1.) Make sure you are re-opening the summary window after every level up and that the correct level is displayed.
If your pokemon has gained any EVs at all make sure you restart pokeMMO before scanning and/or use a calculator as the stats are not updated in-game until then.
If neither of these things have happened or you are unsure delete the pokemon and start fresh making sure to follow these steps.
If the data still shows up incorrect please post all information you have about it here.

Restart pokeMMO if it was open Make sure it is running in windowed mode it WILL NOT WORK WITH FULLSCREEN Disable windows aero to improve scan times. ([url="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-aero-on-windows-vista/"]http://www.howtogeek...-windows-vista/[/url]) Open a pokemons summary sheet and hover the mouse over the first tab on the far left (example below) then press F1 (You can change your hotkey in the options) For future scans you can press `(~ tilde key) from anywhere on the screen and it will return the mouse when it's done If the pokeMMO window or the summary window move you have to repeat step #6 Instructions help
Step #7



If everything went well you should have a picture like the one above and be able to copy/paste a summary like this
From now on you can rescan this pokemon when it's stats change and the IV calculator will update them and eventually find the exact IV.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
[Spoiler]
Q: Will you release the source code to this?
A: I have no plans of releasing it anytime soon if at all.

Q: Will you make a mac version?
A: Currently I have no way of doing so but that does not mean I wont in the future. Stay tuned!

Q: What was this written in?
A: This program was written in autoIt(v3) [url="http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/"]http://www.autoitscr...om/site/autoit/[/url]

Q: How do I know this program wont steal my passwords or keylog other information?
A: There is never a way to know for sure whether or not a program will do more than it says it will but here are some steps you can take to protect yourself.
Block the programs access to the internet in windows firewall [url="http://www.technipages.com/blockunblock-programs-in-windows-firewall.html"]http://www.technipag...s-firewall.html[/url] Run the program in an isolated environment like sandboxie [url="http://www.sandboxie.com/"]http://www.sandboxie.com/[/url] Scan the program with your virus scanner/anti-spyware and/or [url="https://www.virustotal.com/en/"]https://www.virustotal.com/en/[/url] Let it be known that autoit is notorious for false-positives

A false positive error, commonly called a "false alarm" is a result that indicates a given condition has been fulfilled, when it actually has not been fulfilled. In the case of "crying wolf" – the condition tested for was "is there a wolf near the herd?", the actual result was that there had not been a wolf near the herd. The shepherd wrongly indicated there was one, by calling "Wolf, wolf!".
A false positive error is a Type I error where the test is checking a single condition, and results in an affirmative or negative decision usually designated as "true or false".
Source: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positive#Type_I_error"]http://en.wikipedia....ve#Type_I_error[/url]
AutoIt applications sometimes get a false positive report from virus scanners using heuristics, because the application is a self extracting executable.
Source: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoIt"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoIt[/url]

If you use sandboxie make sure to give it as little freedom as possible.
There are many tutorials available on the web. Mainly just disable admin rights and internet access.
These methods may not guarantee a program will not harm your system but they will definitely stop most of them dead in their tracks!

Q: Can I make a donation to you?
A: I'm still not sure about this... I guess send me a PM about it for now if you really want to

Q: Can I add you as a friend in-game?
A: Sure my IGN is Archalias

Q: I got an error message what do I do?
A: Take a screenshot (alt + prt screen) and upload it to an image hosting site like [url="http://imgur.com/"]http://imgur.com/[/url]
Also open the file DebugData.txt and copy/paste that into [url="http://pastebin.com/"]http://pastebin.com/[/url]
Post both of these in this thread and I'll do everything I can to fix it for you!
[/Spoiler]

Sorry if this post sucks :(
I spent a very long time creating one but the window closed and I hadn't saved it...

Well like the title said, this is my suggestion:

You are given the option to 'mark' a Pokemon after you capture them like how it is depicted in the image below.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/QPKeRM2.jpg[/img]



This would be helpful because when you are farming for Pokemon and you found one/many which has potential, you can 'mark' them and then it will be easier to find them when you are searching through your boxes. This is depicted in the image below.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/yqyLDzx.jpg[/img]


That's all I have to say :3

[size=2]Edit: Love your GUI ShadowBoxer![/size]

I quickly scoured the forum but couldn't find this suggestion, even though I'm sure it must've been put on the tables before.
A simple "Release Pokemon" button for newly aquired pocket monsters before they're transferred would spare everyone loads of trouble and time. We all hate having to clear our pc boxes after farming that certain nature/iv pokemon for hours.
Cheers

What: Exactly what the title says.
How: 50,000 pokedollars for the first reteach plus an additional 10,000 for every reteach after that, up to a cap of 100,000.
Why: 1: To teach moves to a pokemon again or teach them to multiple pokemon, of course.
2: To add another use for pokedollars; this game could use some money sinks, and although this isn't exactly a big one, every little bit helps.
3: About the scaling money: as the user relies on move tutors more, they've been playing the game longer, earning more money in the process. Spending 50k during their 2nd week of playing this game would feel about the same to them as spending 100k during their 3rd or 4th week of playing.
What do you think?
Yes, there was already a thread for this, but at nearly 2 months old, bumping it would've been necroing.
Also, more than half of the thread was arguing about forum etiquette instead of discussing the suggestion.

I might fail at searching because I looked up Vs Seeker and said "seeker" cant be found so someone must of suggested but anyway
What you all think of being able to use vs seeker indoors or to be able to re battle gym leaders?
The gym leaders aspect would be nice because some are high levels and would help with grinding and would make it more interesting as would vs seeker bc of victory road
