What if you reward the horse for drinking? Update FAQ in game and end with a one-time questionnaire about the contents, reward successful completion with 50RP. 50RP by itself isn't enough to buy anything, but it makes buying more RP to be able to spend it more attractive. Noobs learn about the game and devs make money. Win-win situation.

So, LYLE blacklist from NICE-dailies (except Thebloo cause he was on good terms with the pair) was initiated by me after I had an argument with Fishtickles and Bowser. They were making racist remarks and I roleplayed to be offended, after which NlCEGUY joined the argument at some point and straight up blacklisted the team. Just 2013 things I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Remember that It's a one-time service though, but you could make a support request on the forums. An SGM or admin will change your forum name for you, if the new name is still available.

Wanting to promote the other tiers is a good idea, but I don't believe your solution in itself would work. It needs to be combined with other changes to the pvp matchmaking system. What is lacking with the UU and NU matchmaking, is simply clarity. By having OU tab opened by default, players are instantly more inclined to queue up for that by definition of the 'default effect'. Also the fact that there's a hidden minimum of players required to be queued up at the same time for a match to begin, yet there's no way for a player to tell if there are people queueing up for a certain tier, makes it a gamble (You either waste your time or get lucky). Additional suggestion: Improve the clarity! Remove the OU-UU-NU tabs and put them all in one window. Create a seperate tab for your rankings if space is limited. Show the amount of people currently in queue for every tier. Show the amount of BP you will win if victorious. (This is what I mean by the combination of ideas with Cody's suggestion)

Well thought out and written suggestion. I like the fact that you want to keep the item rare enough by not allowing it to be tradeable and having untradeable offsprings as well. Perhaps the way to obtain it is still too easy though? Beating the elite 4 is rather trivial. Also limiting the maximum supply to 3 isn't longterm sustainable.

Regardless of football world cup, country flags is a neat idea.

I appreciate @Tranzmaster for his memes

@Desu How far back does the donator history go to qualify one for beta version of android?

Cloyster UU is can't believe they did this though

gb, you were the only one saying that freeze should not be removed. Like, how is freeze supposed to improve the metagame?

literally who

There are no unofficial catching contests

Test the rework pre-release and give feedback on it most likely.

Akali will probably get a rework next

It would cause conflict with movesets.

You need to set the whole client language to ES for it to have effect

Sound effect could also be the pokemon species cry.

I actually agree with everything Xatu has said. Everyone disagreeing is just toxic. Don't let the haters bring you down.

There would be no theme to letting a winner choose from a giant pool of vanities. Summer series winner could pick a wizard robe or whatever and autumn winner a kecleon hat... A themed crown would be a status symbol, everyone would recognize it, the wearer would have the largest e-peen of them all. I agree that the winner should believe the vanity he will be rewarded is awesome, but by limiting it to crowns, I am sure that Darkshade could focus more on the quality of those, given the time he could spend on reaching the same quality of 30 random vanities. Great idea actually.

Tradable would defeat the purpose for having a unique vanity as tournament reward. The prize money is high enough already to obtain value from the victory. Crowns were just an idea, but since there are no crowns in game at the moment I think it would fit. What alternative vanity do you have in mind?

Because the qualifier participation fee of 25k requires the automated system. Also getting refs for an event every week might be problematic with relatively low staff members now as opposed to some years ago. It's just more convenient to hold those on the system honestly.

It would only be the Grand Final though. Qualifiers should be held using the Tournament System.

Disclaimer: I'm aware that this suggestion is technically an 'event suggestion' and should go in that thread, but's also a Vanity item suggestion, so it involves both topics simultaneously and may merit it's own thread. A couple of years ago, there were a tournament series called Masters (of OU, Doubles, UU), which required qualifiers to participate in one final double elimination tournament with a grand prize. Changes to the staff's reward policy regarding tournament prizes, has sadly resulted in this event no longer being held. The format of this event is as follows: 15 Qualification Tournaments, One per week. Winners of these Tournaments get a ticket, Runner-ups get a reserve ticket to the Grand Final. The Grand Final is a Double Elimination Tournament, players require a ticket or reserve ticket(s) to be allowed to participate. I suggest an alternative prize to the classic "Turn one of your comps into a shiny or pick a shiny starter". A unique, untradeable vanity item: Only to be distributed to the winner. A season-themed Crown with special effects. Winter: White crown, snowflakes Spring: Green crown, flower petals Summer: Red crown, sunrays Autumn: Orange crown, leaves In combination with a grand prize of 25M pokeyen for the winner and 5M to the runner-up. You might be thinking: Tyrone, prize pool of 30M is insane, no way that will happen! But here's the solution: The 15 Qualifying Tournaments will require a 25k pokeyen registration fee (64 man)! Quick maffs: 25k * 64 players * 15 Tournaments = 24 Million yen sunk in participation fees. So the effect on the economy is 6M yen, spread over 16 PvP events, which is less pokeyen influx than any current event (exception being CC) being held. The requirements for this event would be: @Darkshade making 4 awesome crowns. A staff member willing to organise the Qualifiers and host the Grand Finals every season. @Squirtle to approve the event idea. The PvP Community's active participation. Feel free to leave feedback on the idea and suggest improvements.

How is putting a literal barrier to a certain gameplay aspect for new players no drawback? There is no need to change anything to genderless/dittos acquired before the update. The market changes, the same mechanic can be applied in real life when the government passes a law/regulation that affects the economy. For example: Government introduces an maximum housing rent, to ensure people can live in affordable houses. Surely, the house owners who sublet their properties are gonna be mad, but the government won't reimburse their lost revenue.
