From what I've seen, I definitely agree that certain aspects need to be revamped. Personally - Bring back the old classic tourneys but instead of Silph CO. certain players can choose on different locations (It will make it interesting, personally I find it boring always in one location) Although controversial, increase the prize money from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. It will get players to become more motivated and invest in more comps Promote more higher prize / tier shinies (Again, controversial, but with Gen 5 releasing in the future this could be ideal to bring more players in) Like DoubleJ said wipe the leaderboard, but the winners of each leaderboard month compete with each other in 3 tiers for an exclusive prize? Finally, introduce a Hall of Fame location on MMO I recommended a while ago to promote players achievements, inform players who don't use the game on the current top players and to promote new players into entering the comp scene and having an achievement to aim for. If automated tourneys were very successful, there would not be several ones which aren't filling up. (Timezones aren't an excuse as we are global to many players) It gets to the point where except for seasonals, the only tourneys to be hyped for are PSL and the (now) World Cup.

I have done shiny trading successfully for a fair while, but stopped around 4-6 months ago. Here are my thoughts on shinies and trading in general. Please bear in mind I am speaking in the view of a shiny trader, not a comp player. Introduction People have been complaining that the comp players have been neglected, but I feel that the shiny traders are the real audience being forgotten here. We are the main source when it comes to trading (exception are occasional comps / breeders / grind items). Comp players have automated tourneys, a new mechanic coming, new items (life orb, etc) and shiny prizes. What do us shiny traders have? We can't discuss shiny values which unsettles the market, trade chat is dead, GTL shinies are overpriced due to breeding (will explain later) and cheap ones get sniped by no-lifers constantly refreshing the page, shiny breeding is useless (explain why later) and shiny lotteries get tiresome. Value Discussion Although controversial to some, it gave shiny traders like myself some purpose to help out the community to avoid getting 'ripped off' by shinies. People have said that us shiny traders use it to manipulate the market and profit, but many people have asked @Alphamale @JoshLindsay10 @FlareBlitzz @SneaKyKhaLidA about prices of shinies in the past because they were looked up to, and that is how they got their name just like @DoubleJ etc got theirs being a comp player. People asked for values because they were unsure of the market. Imagine the first shiny sudowoodo gets caught. Nobody will know the price, so they will either sell very cheap or very expensive. This is where value discussion came to its biggest advantage. Also, it stabled the shiny market and would've made a huge benefit to shinies which had prices crash significantly, such as Growlithe @Parke ;) Personally, for this reason the value discussion should be bought back to reintroduce more purpose for shiny traders, encourage more activity in the forums and to stabilize the shiny market. (as more rare shinies have been appearing lately) It will also inform the community at once about changes in the market, instead of individuals who can manipulate prices. Nobody is even forced to view / contribute to the value discussion, so there is no need to complain about it. Forum: Trade Corner As the OP previously stated, it takes 3-5 days for a page to be bought onto page 2, where it used to only take 24 hours. There are never anymore shiny threads anymore as most people use GTL, however you can't hold negotiations / future trades with that person as it does not mention the seller on GTL. Encouraging more activity on the trade corner such as convincing more shiny threads to be opened would encourage more open communication between users as well as more knowledge on general shiny prices. Chat: Trade Corner I remember hanging around Vermilion City CH1 and checking the trade chat to see if there were any interesting shinies. Although there was alot of spam, it was also very active with a variety of items being sold. Now it is just people competing with each other on GTL (e.g. 10 people selling overpriced everstones and then 5 people selling cheaper but still overpriced) The trade chat needs to be more active. It is also the only chat where you can do shiny to shiny trades, which will stabilize the shiny market as it was always the case that shinies would drop if you could only pay in cash as it was always 'cash > shinies' and that was the case with GTL. Encouraging shiny to shiny trade will increase many shiny values as well as encourage people to collect shinies. Shiny Breeding Although good to some people, it is pointless to those who wish to trade. For example, you would have to purchase an extra shiny for the two parents to breed. This increased the price of all common shinies by literally 150%. The cheapest shiny is now 1.2m compared to 400k. Although devs have made it easier for us to gain yen, this and the complications to shiny breeding have increased the prices of shinies too. For shiny traders who wish to profit from this, it would be very difficult to do so, especially due to the inactivity of the trade thread and chat and the competitive market on GTL. GTL Unless you are a noob or have a common shiny, it is very difficult to get your shinies to sell. Not to mention the 5% tax, people have to be more cautious now as there are risks of losing profit even if the shiny sells. It is so difficult to purchase a good shiny as well. If a shiny has remained on GTL for 2 weeks, you think it's overpriced and avoid it like the plague. You are also forced to only purchase shinies with cash which is so hard to earn. Many people are stingy with their cash due to how hard it is to earn and the huge variety of items you can purchase. As shinies also drop alot, people don't want to risk with their cash. On the rare chance a cheap shiny comes out, people snipe it due to constantly refreshing 24/7. Everyone else sells their shinies very expensive as they are scared of selling for cheap, as well as making up possible losses from the 5% tax (a 10m shiny will equal 500k tax = 9.5, which can make a big difference) I encourage more shiny traders to avoid using this and use the trade chat more. Conclusion You can continue focusing on the comp community (I am interested in comp too, I am in a comp team, I understand they have also been neglected) but you should start focusing on the shiny community more too. We are forgotten. Who do we ask for prices? What happens if rare shinies come out? What if we're getting ripped off? What if we want to trade shinies for shinies? I can play 20Q with this, but it won't make a difference. Oh, and before you say hordes / leppa berries were introduced for us shiny traders - yeah we catch it (assuming we get lucky with the 1/1000000000 shiny rate), but it goes to my original point of how to sell it. I don't necessarily care about profit or I would have attempted to continue, but I feel that comp is the only way forward. All the shiny traders are either inactive / quit or hidden. MR and WOLF teams are forgotten. I'll give some names of forgotten players @Alphamale @JoshLindsay10 @SneaKyKhaLidA @FlareBlitzz @brockhard @Xenocider Thanks to the OP for bringing this up. The few such as Rigamorty and Aerun and a few others are the only remaining active shiny traders. Let's hope we can continue making positive changes. - Incognition

I'll buy a metamorph gen 8 Pokemon confirmed

Best of luck in the future. In general, the people who actually quit are the ones who don't announce they're quitting - probably a subconscious thing like if they're bored etc.

When you ... 1) Fuck up a match when you have 2 legends in your team 2) Hold out for over 40+ turns to use struggle and find out its base stat is 50 and useless ... http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7randombattle-563712104 I now hate Togepex or whatever that Pokemon is.

Wouldn't red bull make it worse? Just drink lots of water bro and avoid the kebabs ;)

I'll start - Shiny Shellder + 5m

Yes you do mind i wanted to meet you when I was away </3 London comic con #hype

He's pointing to himself though. im proud of his bravery for coming out to the public :)

David Moyes, what's your opinion on this? Wanna offer a slap?

Knew someone would bring wanting Johto and Sinnoh :/ if I remember correctly I think it had something to do with the roms and the fact that gen 2 Pokemon are available also it's better to do a gen 5 comp meta than gen 4 imo and unova is gen 5..

Nah make this area of Castelia city the new hangout spot

When you do the shiny catching nuzlock challenge with a 1/800 shiny chance ...

Although true I do find it pointless because even though its considered on the competitive-meta, staff can just spawn any shiny prize and the list would've been completed months ago.
