Seoulex Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 You know how in Kanto you can just click enter to shift between the islands on the map. It'd be much easier if we could just click enter and it shifts between Kanto and Hoenn cause (especially for if you're making a trade) it takes time to go through the slateport - vermillion thing DestructX, Platoons, fredrichnietze and 22 others 25 Link to comment
Quakkz Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 i think there are some technical difficulties to do that cause there are 2 roms u are working with with those 2 regions, i believe if that would be easy to implement it would already be in the game SecretCandy, Royal7Knight, Ronax and 2 others 5 Link to comment
jayfeatskydd Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Still wondering if they can actually do this. Pidgeysaurus, Kazooka and Draekyn 3 Link to comment
Munya Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Still wondering if they can actually do this. Probably not without requiring both roms to play, provided the town maps are pulled from the each rom. Edited February 24, 2015 by Munya Robertttttttttt 1 Link to comment
Pidgeysaurus Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 or perhaps a command you could type? A command to type is a helluva lot easier than having to go travel through the port Link to comment
Darkshade Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 or perhaps a command you could type? A command to type is a helluva lot easier than having to go travel through the port There is a line of balance between immersion and convenience, and a command would cross it - that would be some really crummy design. It would also be more difficult to understand for those unfamiliar with the game. Pidgeysaurus, Vaeldras and Champlooo 3 Link to comment

Qaztin Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 In generation 2 as far i as i remember (gold/silver/saph) it was possible to fly between johto/kanto but as sbd pointed it's 1 rom, and here hoen, kanto are 2 diffrent rooms, but for our skilled PokeMMO staff making possible to fly from kanto to hoenn would not be a problem :) up vote this Link to comment
Darkshade Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 In generation 2 as far i as i remember (gold/silver/saph) it was possible to fly between johto/kanto It wasn't - you were able to fly to the League and use that as a way of flying to the other region, but you were unable to fly directly between the regions themelves. There were other methods of travel, such as a boat and a train. The League in this case represented the middle of the two regions, as they were both connected. Seoulex 1 Link to comment

ColemanC15 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 be that as in may, PokeMMO already has the ability to switch between maps regarding kanto and islands, add hoenn to that and you're good to go I don't believe you are getting the point, I believe the current system they use to switch between regions is done by a script and code that checks for the rom, if you don't have the rom the scripted npc won't let you leave. This is a lot easier than adding flying between regions, to do that they would need to create new code for the Map UI to check that emerald is there so they could emulate its map, and I'm sure add checks everytime you fly somewhere to make sure it is emulating the right rom. Thats just speculation, bottom line being, its never as simple adding things in as you may think. If its not a simple process why have them waste time making something you can already do in about a minute by flying to a port city anyways? Link to comment
Seoulex Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 alright if this isn't possible or too difficult to manage then can we make it possible to use fly inside slateport's port building XD Link to comment

PandaJJ Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Okay, I'm bumping this, because staff is being staff again. I was gonna support this suggestion: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/56293-ship-guy-default-back-to-yes/, but somebody thought they had a nice argument and just closed it. I'm not sure why Hassan's comment was ignored, but I think we can all agree that changing the default from 'yes' to 'no' has pretty much no purpose now that players can no longer take the ship upon their first encounter. Players are going to waste more time by pressing the wrong button than new players will waste by going to the wrong region because of stupidity. But if you are adamant that the convenience should be in the new player's favor, please just give us the option to fly between regions. It would be win-win.

Munya Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 This is only an issue for you right now because you are not used to it. Once you are switching regions will be just as fluid as it was before. Changing to yes really does not take a noticeable difference in time to do. Laz 1 Link to comment
PandaJJ Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 That is objectively wrong. Before, you could simply hold 'Z'. Now, you have to press down as well. And you have given us 8 months to get used to this, changing is not something that happens easily. Link to comment

And you have given us 8 months to get used to this, changing is not something that happens easily. It may take some time, but if people are able to get used to YouTube's ever-changing layouts in the space of a month or two they can certainly get used to pushing the down arrow key to go to another region in PokeMMO. Players are going to waste more time by pressing the wrong button than new players will waste by going to the wrong region because of stupidity. This is just flat out wrong; it can take an hour or two to reach that far into the storyline, whereas you can correct a button press in the space of a second to a few minutes. Even if you don't read the text and hit the 'No' button it has no substantially negative consequence. Link to comment

It was a slight exaggeration, but considering how much time people put into this game, you are underestimating how much time this will waste. First of all, this is a case of principle. By showing that you care more about new players than dedicated players by inconveniencing literally everybody who has played this game for more than a few hours, you keep giving the impression that you don't give a shit. Secondly, you have already essentially eliminated the problem that could have justified this change, namely by preventing people from changing regions upon their first encounter with the ferry in the first place. The new default is not only redundant, but also inconvienent for the majority of the playerbase. Thank you for understanding. TheRealPhatiman, Draekyn and Lysandra 3 Link to comment
kuziox Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 If I understand correctly the changelog of the latest update: Ferry between FireRed/Emerald requires 4 badges for one region, not both.if someone collects 4 badges in any region, he can travel both ways. Correct? If yes, going accidentally to another region is not a problem anymore.So, can we go back to "Yes" as default option in ferry dialogue?Btw flying between regions still would be better. ;) slidingpanda 1 Link to comment
TechNine Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Why don't we just make the Kanto map and the Hoenn map two separate items? Then we can set Kanto and Hoenn flying to different hotkeys, and people who don't have both ROMs won't have to worry about a Hoenn page on their Kanto map. Link to comment
TheForumNewb Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 What if after beating the elite 4 in both regions the ferry dialogue setting change, one way or another, to yes? Link to comment
