imguridiancity Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'm usually not bothered by a low value prize, but goldeen is one of the few on the bad list of superbad shinies. Specifically, I don't think the following shinies should ever be used as 1st place prizes for official events: Paras/Parasect Rattata/Raticate Tangela Goldeen/Seaking Seel/Dewgong (at least they aren't as common as the others, but remember the "dugong" debacle? they're just a really lame shiny) Pretty much as long as you avoid those ones, I'm fine. There are some more that should probably be avoided too (tentacool, maybe fearow) but at least those aren't the truly bottom of the barrel undesirable shinies. I know some people will still complain if it's "only" a 2m shiny (although the root of their complaint is really the inconsistency in prize values) but I'm only bothered by the real poop tier shinies.

Gunthug Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Honestly, it seems like staff get railed on no matter what prize they pick. It's either too valuable a shiny, or not valuable enough, and either way, people will complain. I personally think goldeen is a terrible prize, and i've never complained about "too valuable a prize" but I'm just pointing out the way our community usually works with this kind of thing Link to comment

A shiny in the range of 4-15 value range sounds good to me. Looking back at the last few prizes mankey, psyduck , meowth and the part where a dunsparce catching event had a better prize than a comp tourney, its just absurd. Link to comment

londark Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hey, Shiny Goldeen is always better than 2 GC Tms right? Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I might have to agree on this one. Shiny Goldeen is pretty low. A fun tourney for sure, but the prize should be bumped just a bit. If we can avoid the "value of one or less" shiny prizes I would be extremely happy. =) Link to comment

You must be new to Tranz's tourney's, his prizes are consistently like this, although they are, for the most part gimmick tournaments. (1000RP and Mankey prize rip) Link to comment
