    Sigh...

     

    First off, the Lunar New Year celebration isn't 'only' one day, so it doesn't mean that the event automatically begins at midnight like half the community believes it should...

    Secondly, this is probably the event they would not ever want to skip due to being one of its most successful ones. It's also a Saturday evening/Sunday morning as I type this, where many people are usually busy and would be the least likely an event release.

     

    Thirdly, as I mentioned on another post, it's likely that the potential delay could be because of the message in the change log below, and I know that if this wasn't here then you guys would be spending your time crying about this as well:

    Finally, they also have to add the new movesets from the Gen 9 DLC (I don't think this takes too long to be honest), and ensuring things go smoothly when the Anniversary Event releases as I know the community will start howling about that immediately after.

     

    P.S. I'm no mouthpiece for the devs, just annoying how people automatically think an event has to begin at midnight on the day and if it's one minute late they suddenly cry thinking it's cancelled etc... just use some common sense.

    I hope they will release it, because of the reasons you said. But they might as well not do it because we have already had many events, who knows. Besides, it is actually the other way around: on weekends people usually have lots of time. I mean, granted, there are too many activities that one can do, but it is usually leisure time, so they could have taken advantage of that and release it on Saturday or Sunday, so more players would have played. On weekdays, however, people usually have to work or go to school, which means no time for anything but those things. And after that, many people are usually too tired to do anything else.

     

    When it comes to the update with the GEN 9 moveset, again, let's give it some time and not take things for granted...

  2. Hey y'all!

    I'm looking for a 4x31 or 5x41 (I do not remember) Modest Ludicolo that was named "Doritos". It was from 2017 or even earlier. I lent it to a friend of mine and he sold it in the GTL, but I'd like to get it back because it brings me back great memories. Do you guys happen to know antyhing about that? Thanks!

    how has this worked for u in the battle tower? cos i tried ludicolo and it didnt really deliver results for me

    Ludicolo has to have protect. It's usually the weakest so they are going to attack it. You can use that as your advantage, use rain dance on Kingdra and then spam surf, or just use ice beam/gigadrain, depending on the pokemon.

    I get some Cyberpunk Flashbacks here.

     

    Kinda intersting how kids still think its a good idea to rush games/updates.

     

     

    He literally made a post just dedicated to that.

    I know he did. However, that doesn't mean the devs or him did good. Even though this is a free to play game, there's currently some revenue regarding this game. 

     

    It's true that updates shouldn't be rushed. However, that wasn't the point:

     

    If they give some ETA, they must comply. Otherwise people are going to complain. Not giving any ETA like they usually do, which is what they have decided to do now, is not an option either. In every kind of job a estimated time is required when you start working on a project, I am talking from experience. If they are unsure about being on time with that ETA, they they could just overestimate a lot. For example, they could say it is going to be released by the end of the year, when in reality, they thought of releasing it in April or May. That's a win-win situation, because if they release it earlier, as planned, they could make an announcement and people are going to be happy. If they do not, well, people are still going to be happy because there won't be any kind of delay.

  5. I have a question: I got the the 4th boss fight with Nian once, after no losing any lives whatsoever. The other times we lost any live we only got to the third boss fight, so I guess that in order to remain in the game we need to stay alive (by not loosing all of our Pokémon nor changing Pokémon between people).

    Now, my question is, the time I got the the 4th Nian boss (on the 22nd wave) I hadn't lost any life either, but the event wouldn't let us continue any further after defeating the boss. Do you know the reason? Thank you.

  6. Hi! I'm looking for a lvl 100 yawn torkoal (or rrally close to that level) in order to beat the pumking. I don't really mind about the IVs though. You can write me in here (or PM me), or in-game.

    I've already found one, tge thread can be closed :) Thanks

    How about you follow the rules and you won't have to find out if ban appeal works? :)

     

     

    it was really easy to fill in requirements, no E4 done, less than 100k or 200k cash, no shiny OT, less than 50/100hours, things like that.

     

     

    Yeah one of mine in which I had tons of comps got deleted. I transferred them from my main account, so being an alt acc I did fill all the requirements...

    CMs are what you're describing, hence the name, 'community manager'.

    Yeah well, expect that they are not elected democratically. A mayor is the only one chosen by the community, and hence, it can serve as link better in advanced.

     

    However, this doesn't happen as often as it should, so it's just that, theoretically. The community has the power the elect someone else if they feel like the job is not being done properly though. Which is a key point.

     

    Anyway, I believe the term 'mayor' is not the right one, even though it is elected. I mean, it is ok to be called Mayor, but I think a better one would be representative, since that's what we're talking about here

    Yes it does.

    As you've pointed out here:

     

    Using these legendaries makes the game significantly easier.

    Which means that the baseline for time and effort required to earn anything via battles (such as money) goes down.

    Which means that more money floods into the game, which means that prices begin to inflate across the board.

     

    It affects absolutely everyone's gameplay, you should expand your scope.

    I don't really get why they are going to be implemented then. I mean, if having legendaries is bad for the economy, for the PvE experience and the PvP one, then what's the point in getting them via dungeons?

    I mean, I'd love to be able to get them. And the dungeons thing sounds like a really good idea. Besides, I know some people that would come back just because of that update. But I can't really grasp what would be the advantages of having them in game for you. Thanks.

    he's right.

    I'm just curious, can it be sold on GTL? Or is it untradeable? (Like some items). Cause I've looked it up and there are no entries, which is a bit weird.

    I meant that the game needs to produce revenue/actual money to be able to keep going, it's a business after all. If you decide to reduce cash flow from somewhere, you need another one to replace it.

    Oh ok I know what you mean now. Well, people would still buy them so there would still be cash flow because people still want vanities, donator status and things like that. Again, it used to be like that till 2016.

    As for your other claim, I would like to see proof first before commenting on it.

    You can see it in the fourth page of the GiftShop thread, which is right above this one (squirtle said so).

    I would upload a screenshot myself, but I'm on Android lol

    Sure it can be your personal goal, but it doesn't provide you an option to get an advantage in PvP, which would be otherwise unobtainable to other players who didn't spend their money on the game. I am using PvP as an example as it's the only way to 'win' in an MMO.

     

    There would first have to be a good 

    That's true, it doesn't provide any advantage in PvP. But I believe the game goes far beyond that, for instance, just gathering rare shinys is another way to 'win' in here. That's just my opinion though.

    There would first have to be a good alternative to monetize the game.

     

    I'm sorry, I don't really know what you mean by that. There's already an ingame currency so the game would be monetized.

    That's like buying a bicycle that was labeled as new&functional, only to later find out that it's actually old&kinda crappy and then getting told 'well but you still get to keep the bicycle'. Lying is unethical.

    Except that I do not consider that lying, but changing your opinion. And I might be wrong but I think you do not see right away that the item you are buying is tradeable in the Gift Shop.

    Actually, back in 2013 the staff said that "allowing donate items to be tradeable will not occur as we do not want donators to greatly effect the ingame economy. Someone could theoretically purchase hundreds of hats and corner the market pretty easily". And well, that's what people actually do. Anyway, so by your lines, would you say they have lied then? I do not see it that way, they just somehow changed their opinion.

    Making all the limited items untradeable doesn't solve anything, as it doesn't address the core issues of the economy + it would tank the game's income&and the staff would ultimately lose all credibility.

    I don't think so. I mean, I believe the game is p2w (and not p2p as others have said), as having a lot of money can be one of the goals of the game - and you can just buy anything you want with it.

    Therefore I think making Giftshop items untradeable won't help he current situation, but it will certainly make it better in the future, since no more 'easy money' would be generated, and people wouldn't be able to sell the ones that they already have.

    Besides, I do not think the staff would lose any credibility, since it used to be like that till 2016, and you are still keeping your items. It's not like releasing the old vanities again, they are just untradeable.

  14. I believe making Giftshop items non-tradeble back again is the way to go. That people people would still buy the items because they want to, but not to sell them.

    It used to be like that till 2016, and actually most people would give the same reasons I am giving now.

     

    I think the economy has been broken because of people buying tons of vanities and selling them (so, that's a p2w weather you like it or not) and also abusing berry farmer. There have already been fixes regarding the later, but there's still the Giftshop items sales issue.

  15. I'm looking for a really good Beldum or Metagross, like this:

    Adamant 28+/31/28+/x/28+/31

     

    Or a better one. I know it's really expensive but I'm willing to pay whatever necessary if it's worth it.

     

    You can respond here, pm me or send me a message in game (I have the same nickname)

  16. I would like to buy a Horsea or any of its evolutions. It's preferred like this:

    Modest x/x/x/31/x/31 

    Hp Electric is a must.

    It'd be nice if it has good overall stats in the other ivs, but I'd like to have at least a 2x31.

     

    You can send me a MP in here or find me on game (same nickname)
