What kind of an impact will johto have on the economy?

Im curious how johto will affect the pokemmo economy if at all

 

For those who were playing when they added new regions, were there any noticeable changes to the economy or not.

Most updates of this scale have included game changing mechanics, that being said-- this will be the first region implemented retroactively. I think it would be reasonable to consider some new items will have a higher value initially.

 

For example, something as simple as a rework for growing Apricorns, allowing players to take over the market where useful Pokeballs are concerned. From there, the quick ball, repeat ball, etc., could be removed from PokeMarts.

 

A safe assumption would be the introduction of new hordes, and item farming locations. In my opinion the influences on the economy will be large, but will happen slowly overtime with niche discoveries.

It will probably have a huge impact for a couple of days, since many players are gonna rush through the region, that means less "classic" farming : berries, gym and trainers reruns, payday-pick up, thief, farming IV 31, and even shiny hunting.
So obviously some prices are gonna go up.

On the other side the price of patches for HA of starters will drop considerably, and so far it's hard to say if the price of patches will ever recover from this, so if you have some you should sell before the release IMHO, the price of Johto starters is without a doubt the one that will drop for ever, like Totodile will go from 30k to 3k in a couple of days. So the Johto starters prices are the ones that will drop the most and you should also sell them before the release.

Less important, the price of Skarmory will drop if it has a new location, also Miltank.

And finally the new hordes spots will take the price of some shinies really low, since nothing is sure about it, we can't predict which ones are gonna decrease.

Another factor that is hard to predict is the amount of players coming back into the game, which may raise some prices and also lower other ones.

I believe almost everybody will choose chikorita as starter, so the price of ability patch grass would drop a lot until it meets another equilibrium point. But this also depends on how many new pokemons that devs have added to jhoto pokedex( hoho, lugia, celebi? dogs?) or maybe a new legendary pokemon like rayquazza where ppl need to compete to register.

 

The prices of exp candies, great proteins, carbos will increase since there is higher demand.

 

Some of current rare shinys might drop a lot due to new hordes, like sentret.

What do you mean? Are you concerned with something specific or just general?

They already mentioned it before, the johto starters will change their price, in the first hours they could go from 30K to about 40k because there will be many people wanting to buy them, then, at the end of the first day they will be around 25K-35K.

The second day, they could be around 15K-25K, this given that the areas where they are obtained will have been unlocked.

At the end of the week, these will be between 5K-10K, because there will be a large number of pokes in circulation within the gtl, which will cause their prices to drop due to the high competitiveness of the players to sell them.

 

I recommend that you SAVE (DO NOT BUY, BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT RISE IN PRICE) fuel, calcium, protein, plus ps and max. pp (including all its variants) and rare candies, exp candies and exp deal. If there are inconsistencies within the text, it's because I used a translator haha

The price of Leppas and Shiny Charms will probably increase due to people shiny hunting the new hordes. Increased demand and also just willing to pay more due to the novelty.
