Me too. I'd much rather deal with the idiots here than the ones in the real world.

Jesus fucking Christ, someone gets it. Go roll a die. You have a 1/6 chance to land on a specific number. Roll it 6 times, sometimes, even out of 6 rolls, you won't land on that number. You may roll that die 50 times and never get that number. Probability is low for 50 rolls and not hit a certain, but it can happen. The die doesn't give a shit what you rolled last time. It doesn't know. It has no memory. Same goes for the server code. It rolls a brand new die with 8192 sides and if it lands on 1, you get a shiny! THAT'S IT. To anyone thinking GMs have access to the code, nope. Never happened, never will happen. You guys are such paranoid rumor mill gossip queens. Why hasn't this thread been locked and burned to the ground? It only serves as FUD

When has there been an update that wasn't announced in some way? DDOS, it's being handled.

It's already been discussed and there's a good chance of it happening after other stuff is done. It'll be basic to start with, such as "defeat/capture X AMOUNT of TYPE pokemon". So for example "Catch 10 wild grass type pokemon" or "Defeat 10 fire type pokemon in trainer battles" or "Win 10 PvP battles with a water type pokemon". Beyond that, it hasn't been fleshed out more. My thought was always offer players something similar to how GW2 does daily quests. Offer players about 10 possible quests to do each day, once they've completed 5 of them, they get a reward. After completing x amount of daily quests over any span of time (like 100), offer a large reward. Leaderboards will show who has done the most daily quests overall. This adds a competitive aspect to it and encourages people to do them above just getting in game rewards. At a certain time each day, daily quests reset and give you a new set of 10 quests to complete. Again, this is just ideas that have been thrown around, nothing is ready yet but no one disagrees that it would be a good addition to the game.

Money has to leave the system or inflation kills the game instead. Time gates and money sinks are the only thing that keep any mmo playable. Otherwise everything gets over inflated in price and/or becomes so easy to get that it actually makes the game not fun by lack of challenge.

Dunno. Weird. What does he taste like?

Sorry

Been brought up. Right now we're not tracking the order and Shu explained it a while ago but I've forgotten now. It's a limitation of the game engine and how we have things implemented right now but it is on our todo list.

Like some have said, the really difficult part would be deciding what pokemon to replace current ones during rotations. On top of that, how many rotations should there be? 2 rotation sets? 3? 4? more? (including current spawn group as one rotation set) I think weekly rotations would be good. No need to do month long ones and possibly screw new players out of getting certain pokemon for extended periods.

Desu checked, it's a photoshop. He has no perfect ditto on his account.

If it helps, I ignore all PMs. My message box is at 87 unread right now. I don't know why people think that they feel the need to share something with me, and only me.

No one wants to learn. The community doesn't want to be closer. The community wants to throw poop at each other and tell fart jokes. Players now want to know only what directly interests them in that very moment. "GLOBAL, WHAT IS GOOD EV FOR MY CHANSEY". Someone answers, and dumb player goes on his way until he has another question. No need to use google because someone will answer him eventually, he just has to spam chat. But the tooltip isn't a terrible idea. I'm working on abilities and even I can't keep them all straight. Not to mention, I'm only working with Gen3 abilities, plenty more in Gen4 and 5 eventually. That's a lot to remember. I can barely remember which ones I've worked on (at this point though it's obvious if I read the description since I have already fixed all the easy ones ;) ).

Well I know which group is going to be excited about the next update.

Global will be solved next update. 4th badge is needed before you can use global. 1st badge before you can use trade chat. At least then the spamming and begging will be limited to local.

Would be nice and I did consider it. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to do it easily with ipboard. Overall, I do like how Blizzard has their forums done up. Dev tracker, blue posts for staff, minimalistic but still stylish.

Before something like this happens, all possible drawbacks have to be considered. Mainly does allowing running break any features found in buildings, gyms, etc?

Game pad support is definitely a consideration. If anyone else is rocking a PS3 Dualshock (bluetooth version) connected via MicroUSB <--> USB cable on Windows and knows how to get it to work as a gamepad in Windows without Joy2Key, let me know. We can do some testing internally then.

I approve.

I like, I'd say save your work until the new site comes out though. I've hired someone who did another group's gaming website recently and he's on the job. So once the new website is out, we will probably need a logo for it. It is greatly appreciated though since none of us are artists. We're very left-brain oriented.

I actually intended it to be for in game customizations to be honest. I feel like that's going to be a big deal. And since none of us developers are really artists at heart, it may lead to the game looking better overall for the community while work still gets done on the game itself (and we may implement some of the improvements if we get permission from the authors of course, that way everyone can benefit).

Nice conversion. My favorite will always be the white hair trainer sprite though (at least for the male char). http://img.photobuck...ts/Trainers.png
