  1. This happens to me literally every time a pokemon learns a move upon 1) evolving or 2) using a rare candy, so it's not because you took a screen shot. Seems the menu and the over-world don't really get along for whatever reason. Relogging makes the menu disappear, and you can use the move relearner on isle2 to reteach him wing attack, so at least it isn't the end of the world. (:

  2. I could see this being doable if it was nerfed significantly, but as you're suggesting it, it would break how the happiness system is supposed to work. It's supposed to be hard to raise happiness, that's why return at 100% has 105 power, and why pokemon like esp/umbreon are so cherished. Besides, it's not like it's impossible, you can get a pokemon to 100% with a a few hours of biking. 
    INB4 it's too hard to lower happiness, this is fixed by just using return instead of frustration.

    However, back to nerfing it. Say it would hypothetically raise/lower happiness by, like, 15% and be in the GC for 5,000 coins, possibly 3x as a mystery box prize.  According to my extremely rough (and somewhat made up) calculations, that wouldn't really alter the time it takes to get it to 100% that much, it would just give you a different way of doing it, and the ability to invest time in happiness before you have the pokemon you need to make happy.

    Edit: I forgot (what I see as) the most important part of any idea: relevance. The happiness system as it is works fine, and this would create unneccessary work for the devs that could be better spent fixing bugs etc. It's a maybe-someday(TM)-this-would-be-cool thing in my opinion. 

  3. This is more of a suggestion with hopes to improve the community of the game than the game itself. Day after day, I find myself answering questions in-game that are common knowledge to anyone who uses the forums. (IE, When is this going to be added? Is this pokemon Implemented?) 

    I suggest that, in an attempt to at least lessen the amount of these questions and improve the understanding of the general population, a forum account be required to download the game. It wouldn't make it harder to start playing, we already have to sign up somewhere to play anyway. 

    Here's how I'm thinking the process would go, roughly:
    [spoiler]
    Go to main page, click sign up, get redirected to forum sign up.
    Choose a forum name and password, this is the info that would be original sign in info for game, with the option to change your password (of course).

    In general or support (general I would imagine) a members-exclusive post would be pinned at the very top including the download link.
    From here, everything would go exactly as it already does.
    [/spoiler]
    It might not make a huge difference, but at least it would put the forum in people's faces, so perhaps they would be more likely to use it.

     

    Thoughts?

  4. I feel dumb for asking, this, but I haven't been able to make mine work even though as far as I can tell I followed directions to a T, so... 
    When you say it has to be in window mode to work, am I correct in assuming the window can be any size, even taking up the full screen, as long as it isn't actually in full screen mode?
    'Cause... meh T~T

     

    I apologize if this was already addressed and I missed it somehow.

  5. I apologize, but I truly don't have the patience to go through all ten pages to see if this idea was already posted. If it was, feel free to delete this post or whatever it is you do with raggamuffins like me.
    I would LOVE to see the clothes all the NPCs wear in the shop; everyone from youngster Joey to Oak to the E4. I'd post what they would look like, but they're all in the game already. :P 

  6. The Little Bug Type That Could

    [spoiler] Unlike the typical trainer (who stayed up into the wee hours of the morning prior, playing silly monster games on their handheld) Elviira awoke early on the day she turned ten. She leaped out of bed in a flurry of fabric and accessories, and was ready to depart by the time her feet touched the ground. Today was the day she would begin her life-long quest to become the world's strongest trainer. 

    On her way to Professor Oak's laboratory, Elvirra ran into her neighbor, the Professor's grandson, similarly on his way to begin his journey. The old man could never remember his grandson's name, and everyone else usually just called him the kind of bad names you hear in fourth grade, so she wasn't sure of his true name. "Hey Gary!" she cried, making the name up on the spot, "On your way to your grandpa's too huh? I bet you can't wait to get your first Pokemon! What are you going to choose?" 

    "Well..." The-man-now-named-Gary said "not that I want to help you, Smelly-Elvi, but obviously it's going to be either Bulbasaur or Squirtle. I want to become the Pokemon master, and the first obstacle between me and my dream is Brock. There's no way you'll beat him with a Charmander unless it's claws are made of metal or something (like that could happen!) and nothing in the wild around here stands a chance against his top-percentage Onix. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I have less unimportant people to talk to. Smell ya later, n00b!" 

    With that, Gary was gone. That punk! Elviira thought to herself Who is he to call me smelly? I could smell the sludge bomb in his pants from the other side of town. I'll show him, I'm going to prove all it takes to beat Brock is good old fashioned elbow grease!

    And with that, Elviira was gone too. She quickly sprinted to the Professor's lab (a bold move without her running shoes!), where she grabbed the first pokeball she saw, and then dashed away again, but not before giving Gary a swift metaphorical kick to his sensitive area. Racing through Routes one and two, she found herself in Viridian Forrest, ground-zero for bug-catchers and their ilk, and that was where she saw it. The perfect Pokemon to prove to Gary and everyone that no thing, big, small, or wrapped in a layer of string, should ever be underestimated. An infinitesimally small Weedle was inching it's way across the forest floor, no bigger than two or three levels. 

    It's too bad she was afraid of bugs.

    Screaming like a little girl as it slowly moved towards her, Elviira abandoned all reason, and began pelting the thing with pokeballs before she even sent out her "starter" the Prof had given to her as a gift. Fortunately for her, the last one caught it, and in that instant she knew exactly what she must do. Back-tracking to route 1, she was determined to train this Brave (natured) little tyke to be the strongest and fastest beedrill to ever emerge from that forest. Many hours were spent hunting down mankey and pidgey, waging ruthless war on their kind to ensure the success of her and the weedle she had come to know as Balthazar. 

    After many, many moons, and many more rage quits fueled by impatience, the time had come. Her Balthazar had come to fruition as a mighty messenger of malice, and boasted a massive 27 levels, far higher than anything anyone around these parts ever saw. 

    Finally, with a self-satisfied sigh and a wicked grin, Elviira set foot into the city of Pewter, home of Gym Leader Brock, and thought to herself Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil, for my Pokemon are with me. 

    [/spoiler]

    IGN: Elviira
    but you probably picked up on that. 

    Edited story for grammar/spelling. I hope that doesn't get me disqualified. :P
