  1. Sorry, but I don't buy that. It sounds to me more like an excuse to not tell the truth -again-. I can't believe that they take the job to analyze 1 user by 1 to determine a rate. No way.

     

     

    That will only work to benefit some "friends" (critical hits in official events? :P) with shinys (Shiny Jolly Sceptile comp?  :P ), or to make others not getting shinys ever because they want to.

    they said its based off algorithms that determine how "botlike" your playstyle is, or how likely it is that you are cheating, etc.

    pretty fucking stupid, if they were botting/cheating they should be banned. i ran in a perfect outline around island 4 pc in old breeding waiting for eggs to hatch which is pretty fucking bot-like so im fucked forever :)

  2. >go to npc to buy ribbon
    >breed and it won't die based on only 2 conditions

    Idk what's complicated

    Also, how does this take away from species rarity? You will still have to breed up from the new breeding system to get to this point

    I guess technically you could just use the old breeding with this if you get two really good wilds, but I guess an easy solution is just change the rolls to live -7/+1 or something like that


    It's too complicated... And Staff is way too focused on species rarity to even consider this.

  3. The reason we decided to assign those gifts with a 'Gift' Ribbon is because they are intended to assist you with the storyline.

    This is why we have added a renewable method to obtain each of them.

    They're not supposed to be top tier competitive, and they're not supposed to be breedable/have any effect economically at all.

     

    ok then a different ribbon. the name of it doesnt really matter.

     

    (Being untradeable does not mean something does not have any effect on the economy, as it has the potential to remove some desire/value from something which is tradeable).

    Because they sit at a relatively low standard and cannot be improved/traded at all, or 'touched' in any other way, they don't have very much of an effect at all.

     

    " If you want to trade to be able to clone as many as you want, without any breeding of your own, it would take a total of 4 non-OT comp-IV pokemon of that species, which is more than most people have anyways. (2 to make each gender of your OT) Which will increase demand!"

     

    most people don't buy more than 1-2 of a certain comp to begin with. it's just meant to be a 'relief' to the grind after you have done a fuckload of breeding in a species, only for yourself. if someone is doing this much breeding chances are they aren't buying from other players anyways. only someone who is willing to invest into a pokemon heavily will even do this (dede on mareeps)

  4. 1) Apply a gift ribbon to Pokemon of your own OT for a price.

    2) Two pokemon of the same species and OT can breed without dying, producing a baby with a gift ribbon.

     

    BUT SHANI THEN WE CAN CLONE LIKE CRAZY!!! NO!!

    Yes, but only for yourself. Which I think is fair since you will only be able to everstone two natures at most, of one species, not an entire egg group. I think this is a fair trade off for breeding two pokemon in the new grind-heavy system.

     

    If someone wants to dump money into doing this they would need to buy a total of four non-OT pokemon of most likely very high stats to be able to 'clone' pokemon of one species that would be un-tradable anyways

     

    However, it should use a system similar to the old breeding.

     

    What this would do--

    Well, lets start with the con's of current breeding system:

     

    1) Casuals/New players/People who dont know how to math HATE it (or so it seems)

    • This would allow them to breed casually without setbacks.

    2) Redundant breeding to change nothing except one move or just to have multiple's of the same ev spread

    • You don't have to start breeding from scratch yet again, and gives a sense of completion/accomplishment.

    3) Current breeding is grind heavy

    • This will relieve the grind/sacrifice you have to make once you have 'completed' a pokemon

     

    How this would effect the economy:

     

    The first thing you might be thinking is "if i can pop out all the pokemon I want i dont need to trade for any, so rip economy"

    • This is false, because you have to get to that point for a species. If you want to trade to be able to clone as many as you want, without any breeding of your own, it would take a total of 4 non-OT comp-IV pokemon of that species, which is more than most people have anyways. (2 to make each gender of your OT) Which will increase demand!

     

     

    (this is a rough draft, I have to go to work now. Leave arguments/comments/opinions please)

     

    things i know i didnt take into consideration yet: genderless pokemon 

    (gift [comp] shinies are not OT so they wouldnt work)

    egg moves would still require more work since you'd be limited to a pool of moves from two pokemon

  5. HAPPY BIRTHDAY [OpTc] PINKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

     

     

     

    and experimenting with dd mega latios. dat base 130 atk is no joke, same as mega zard x but without tough claws and the surprise gives it easy setup

    guy really fished for a scald burn in sun after getting a sludge bomb poison

  6. Maybe something between will be better. You need to "unlock" ev to slide them. For example you train your magikarp 100 in HP ev and after that you can pick any value for his HP ev between 0 and 100, so there is still ev training thing(and not farming speed/hp to distribute them as you wish) but with option of changing distribution (but there is still problem with useless berrys :s)

    i like this idea.

    it would give ev trainers a good way to make money because people would want to have up to 252 unlocked in each stat because we all have OCD, but it also makes it easier for people who just want to be able to change evs on certain pokemon without grinding for identical nature/moveset on pokemon that just have different ev spreads. especially with this new breeding system their needs to be ways to make minor changes since each pokemon takes so much more effort to make
