yo guys we made it into pats video a change is forsure coming XD

I just wished devs would've made a discussion about this topic first so at least people where warned. SO many of my team members quit cause they were shunting a 'rare' Pokemon and this update just spat on their face pretty much. That Onix meme where you get 7 Onix then 1 larvitar was still kinda true with 50/50 I had someone that got unlucky and got 3 Onix before the larvitar and that was before the update, I feel bad for anyone trying to get it now.

honestly a better fix was just to add another encounter on the larvitar/dratini shunt instead of being 50/50 make it 33/33/33 that way those 'rare' Pokemon stay a bit rare but it doesn't affect other shunts, I've seen so much backlash from new/casual players saying they'll stop playing and see if they change it later on, imo this only benefited the people that have hella hours in their hands/ pokeyen, as someone who doesn't sell Shinies and just keeps them for my OT this sucks.

dude no offense again but ur obviously an old head in the game which aint bad but saying Shinies aint rare and even worst shiny eggs aint rare just shows ur not casual. 100m is not easy too obtain you deadass have to be playing everyday.

what's common about 30k? that hella hours off ur life and yea charms + dono helps but not everyone has the pokeyen to have activated 24/7

the only thing I see benefiting from this is that the 'rare' Pokemon won't be boted as much but that's a botting problem and this change is hurting the casual guy.

obviously you are, no offense but if you think that Shinies are easy you are not the casual player.

yea this was not friendly for the casual player, the more I play the more I see the staff going more and more towards the old timers side, ik the hardcore shunters that spend hella time and have money too have dono + charm on at all times won't mind but the casual player that hops on a couple hours and try to get a decent shiny got fd. I got the larvitar and dratini and tbh it kept me playing the game cause those are Shinies I wanted but now I find it even harder for the game too keep players interested, they killed some of the best hordes shunts like ralts/bibarel.

Honestly in my opinion y'all killed some shunts doing this, and ur only benefiting the people that already have the shiny or the old timers/ no lifes that don't mind wasting hella time getting a Shiny Pokémon. For a casual player this was such a bad decision but like always common mod L.

well I loved talking too y'all made me appreciate and have a different view on the game and imma just play too play now, hopefully I can finally beat a nuzlocke lol

I say more shiny=more content cause look at YouTube stats any Pokemon video out rn getting views is either nuzlocke, shinies or random new challenges, but I can see most of you just play too play and don't care for content which is fine tbh I just wanted too see what's up, (not including twitch content cause idk much on twitch)

I DONT MEAN TOO OFFEND ANYONE, IM JUST TRYING TOO UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT OF VIEW!

lol just for trying to have a discussion? look im not responding to be provocative im just trying to show my point of view and you guys responding is showing me yours thats it

bro I get ur time and effort trust me thats why I would love for the pokemmo community to be bigger cause everyone here puts in hella hours and my view on shinies is that it can bring in viewers and new players that can help make the game bigger with donos or just making the game big enough for more opportunities. when I said to have them at 8-10k is when I thought rates where 20k tbh now I think it should be between 10-20k

(re post) I feel like this is a hard topic cause for the people that have been shiny hunting it'll be like making the shinies they took hours/days/weeks/months/years feel not as special but the pokemons show the date you caught it so that can make anything caught in the 30k era feel more special and like rare fragment of the old times actually and then anything new coming can be more focused on having rarer shinies and having higher ivs. I personally found this game when I was in high school back in 2017 and been playing on and off

I don't wanna get my account doxxed or harassed lol but I can say I have 1 OT radícate I was going for ditto tho, I don't have any incentive in lying this is just a discussion anyway

@Seth how many shinies do you have and how many of those have at least 4x31 ivs if you don't mind me asking? I feel like this is a hard topic cause for the people that have been shiny hunting it'll be like making the shinies they took hours/days/weeks/months/years feel not as special but the pokemons show the date you caught it so that can make anything caught in the 30k era feel more special and like rare fragment of the old times actually and then anything new coming can be more focused on having rarer shinies and having higher ivs

no I didn't say 6x31 was gonna be easy, I said for the regular gamer yes it'll be easier to get a regular shiny but not as easy as new games but for the people that love too grind it'll be more achievable too get a 6x31 not saying easy just more achievable making the game feel more rewarding imo

@ChihuahuanRaven im glad ur still playing even after working and taking care of ur kids and trust me I find the 1/8k from single encounters fine but what hurts this game is that the 30k isnt just for 5x hoards its for single encounters and egg shinys which makes it almost impossible. and my problem with the "more difficult shinies" is that its pretty much everything that isnt a 5x hoard like lets be honest is anyones favorite shiny a raticate or a tentacruel? and I've already said I can go too another game but my point for this is too give my honest point of view on how this can help content creators put the game out there. just take a look at the views on YouTube "Shiny Pokémon " videos do amazing and if our shiny community grows also the nuzlocking community grows, the pvp community and maybe even different challenges start popping up

@McTermi bruh didn't even bother to read the discussion lol

@Paul I only called them fodder cause that's all people get if they trynna get points. and no I've never played another mmo just this one but me personally as a "content creator" its hard too make some for the game I love. Like I said I've done hella nuzlockes but what makes them fun its that im constantly doing something new or trying new teams which is simple for content and its even better cause the game is hard but most people would just use a rom for the rare candies making the experience easier. Same thing with shinies yea more people are gonna have shinies duh but the hardcore players will be able too go for 6x31 shinies or shiny alfas with easier chances but still having too grind the pokeyen but the content people will be able too put out can help grow the community and bring more people that can spend actual money on the game so then the devs can bring more mechanics or regions quicker.

@MVPJamp I have explored the other aspects of the game I mostly do nuzlockes now but look at the views the game is bringing which is super low cause there's not enough content of what peeople wanna see which is shinies or nuzlockes.

@kyu was the admin I was talking about, ur reply was so bland and you didn't even let me reply or anyone else, how is that letting the community speak.

So yesterday I made a topic on why I think shiny should be increased and it was ended by an admin even tho there was no discussion? All im saying is that there would be more content if they would be increase by half or just a bit cause 30k is too high, I thought it was 20k, take inmind the shiny wars its a great idea for YouTube and getting more people too join but its not gonna get traction if the content is pretty bland with the amount of shinies in a weeks time not being enough and people not pulling cool enough pokemons just the basic hoards. Also what the spanish YouTube nekrye with his massive shiny hunts I see potential but just not enough content for a full video maybe like a short one, take in mind people take hours too hunt and in my opinion there should be more content. Im not saying bring down the odds drastically but bring them down by 10k at least, I don't even care about new regions since imma just beat it in like a couple hours then get bored again since I don't wanna try too shiny hunt anymore. For any admin reading don't take the topic down but let people put their ideas/ reasons on why it would be good or why it wouldn't. Don't just think about the shinies but think of the content we can make with more people wanting too watch.

Look ik this is a hard topic no ones that's played the game since the start wants too talk about but I really do think the rates should be brought down from the current 20k to at least the regular 8k or more like 10k, im not saying to bring it down like the new Pokemon games but bring it down enough for content creators to have more content since Shiny Pokémon are a big part of The Pokemon community not just pokemmo. And honestly I don't think it would change the market so much it would just make it so ur able too shiny hunt for The Pokemon you want and not just something easy and also have more competitive Shiny Pokémon. There's not much of content of pokemmo on YouTube cause the regular player just beats the game and quits since pvp takes too long since you gotta breed a team and that can cost millions of pokeyen and they won't even try too shiny hunt since the odds are so high. I just recently watched pats video on the shiny wars and its such a good idea but I feel it lacks on the variety since most go for an easy hunt or worst they don't get what they want like pat having too wait 17 months for the cranidos. Maybe he doesnt mind but too me I saw it as him not making the best content even tho he puts in the hours. Personally I love the game and I might not have the most hours but I have been playing since 2017 on and off and i don't see much content on YouTube when the game has so much potential but that potential is only reached if we have content creators thriving getting views and most people that watch content on Pokemon watch for shinys, nuzlocking or challenges. Im not trynna start a war or anything but think about it shiny hunters are gonna win since they can go for harder hunts now, there's gonna be a higher chance of seeing shiny competitive teams and content creators will have content so the community has a chance of growing and getting the game out too more people.
