Mulishaz Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So basically you give 1 of your pokemon to an NPC, and it gives you whatever TM's it has. You will obviously lose your pokemon. Let's say, now that breeding was implemented, your umbreon is kind of useless. You now want to get yourself a wish umbreon, but you also want toxic, a move that your umbreon has but you don't have anything to trade for a new one. Insead of creating an alt. account and get it, you can take your useless umbreon with ivs 0-2 on everything to the Pokemang recycler and throw it into a machine, so you can have your precious TM Toxic again, for your new Umbreon.

Dannnno Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 whatever TM's it has care to expand on this? like each pokemon is worth a certain TM? it randomly gives you a TM? Link to comment
Heimann Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I teach my mudkip EQ. I give the mudkip to this person. I get my EQ back but not my mudkip. Is that how this works o.o? Link to comment
Heavenol Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Pokemon recycler lol. What a funny image. I personally think this idea is too flawed, and might take incredible long time to perfect it. Even so, who would wanna recycle their pokemon? Pretty sure you would arrested for that in the pokemon universe. Link to comment
Mulishaz Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 care to expand on this? like each pokemon is worth a certain TM? it randomly gives you a TM? Let's say you have a ice beam/thunderbolt/thunder wave/brick break dragonite. For X amount of money, and NPC will take your pokemon and give you back the ice beam and the tbolt. that way, many useless pokemon that were trained before breeding, can be useful in some way.

That's what I was thinking. Another thing is that this would allow people to TM grind by farming Pokemon that learn, let's say, Earthquake via level up. I honestly like the concept Link to comment

I honestly think this might be a good idea It's a neat idea, but the idea of recycling the pokemon to get TMs? That's just odd to me. Link to comment

I honestly like the concept they could make it so that if a pokemon learns the move by lvl, it wouldnt give you back anything. Link to comment
iSmashbro Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 they could make it so that if a pokemon learns the move by lvl, it wouldnt give you back anything. It's impossible to determine whether a Pokemon learned a move via TM or level Up. What about the people who decided to teach their Dugtrio Earthquake via TM for in-game, and give it to this guy, only to not get anything in return. Link to comment

But any of you have played pokemon mystery dungeon? There where tm that changed to "broken" or "opened" when you have used it. Could something like that be implemented? Link to comment
Dannnno Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 What if you bred TM moves onto a pokemon and then turned it in? This seems like something that could be exploited and that would be hard to implement - hard enough that it wouldn't be worth it This. It's impossible to determine whether a Pokemon learned a move via TM or level Up. What about the people who decided to teach their Dugtrio Earthquake via TM for in-game, and give it to this guy, only to not get anything in return. finding a way to assign a value to moves that were actually taught via TM would be too difficult to be worthwhile imo Link to comment
Munya Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 even if they could differentiate betwen bred moves, tm learned moves, and naturally learned moves I would not like this. If you use a tm make damn sure you want that pokemon to have it. Link to comment

Sateva Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 +1 I get what he is saying, and it makes perfect sense really. Allot of negative nit pickers around here. It should not be that hard for them to set something up that can tell what moves are TM and which are learnt by leveling, if not, no harm in recycling a pokemon that learns say, light screen and have it exchangeable for that TM. Now that breeding is in I and others have TONS of pokemon that are now unusable, (we had to do ALLOT of alt runs to get the moves our pokemon have learned), so why not enable every one to strip the TM moves of the pokemon they wish to replace with bred ones. I REEEEALLLY like this idea. Link to comment
skazord Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 This suggestion would've been good pre-update. With breeding, you can breed TM moves into more pokemon, and pretty much generate infinite TMs, which are used as a currency, which would inflate the market prices. And working around this would be way too much work for what it is worth. So, my opinion on this is no. Link to comment
Atuan Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'd much rather hunt for TMs, as per Darkshade's suggestion back in September. Also, breeding makes renewable TMs low priority. Link to comment
Deshar Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 It should not be that hard for them to set something up that can tell what moves are TM and which are learnt by leveling, if not, no harm in recycling a pokemon that learns say, light screen and have it exchangeable for that TM. Key words: set something up. If its not already set up, then they have no way of knowing what TMs were already taught to which Pokémon before they set up something that tracks Tm learning.

Breeder Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Smeargle is a huge exploit here. Like others have said, it's not possible (currently) to tell if a TM is used or if the pokemon learned it. So, sketch earthquake onto a smeargle, and you can get infinite of any TM's, especially with breeding implemented. Infinite smeargle = infinite TM's. Sorry about that, buddy. It doesn't look like it would happen. Atuan 1 Link to comment

If its not already set up, then they have no way of knowing what TMs were already taught to which Pokémon before they set up something that tracks Tm learning. Also, it'd be quite a huge task to "remember" what each Pokemon has learned. It's the same reason why the Relearner can't be used to teach Egg Moves, TMs, or Tutored Moves. Link to comment
Fiaba Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 What about getting point when you recycle pokemon (based on pokemon and level) and collect them like the coin from casinò, then you can spend those point in something not renewable or cosmetic? ctorrespada 1 Link to comment

And with some limits for pokemon and ban for smeargle :P Link to comment
