I just added a small update which overhauls the natures. They now show stat modifiers

As the breeder, you have the choice to offer only to the breeds you wanna do. If you don't wanna do leveling, don't create offers. I also released a small patch which adds a level 1 option. If a customer doesn't want a breed leveled, the option is now there. I understand that this doesn't seem very attractive to Breeders. You will still keep your core clients. But for smaller breeders that don't have a lot of reputation, this might be a good way to get more customers. If you have ideas/suggestions how to make this system better for breeders, let me know. I welcome any feedback I can get

The dot is considered as a decimal seperator. The idea of this market is to give small breeders a platform to reach more customers.

Currently, the app is getting the information from an external service, which is designed for the main games. If you can send me a full list of natures, that would be great

Good evening fellow catchers, I hope you are doing well (as good as it can be considering the current global situation). Before I get to the interesting part, let me introduce myself and why I am writing this post. My name is Philipp, or Philcomm in PokeMMO. I am a software developer located in Germany. I played PokeMMO for a couple of years now as a member of the german Team ÁvE and I am still a huge fan of the project. In my free time, I work on a lot of development projects in different fields, one of them has to do with PokeMMO. Let's get to the interesting part. In my time playing PokeMMO, I bred a couple of Comps for others and myself. I also ordered some from others. But this always happened inside my team, because I felt like the tools necessary to create a global breeder market are just not good enough. So I came up with an idea to make the breeder market a bit more competitive. Where breeders can see a lot more requests than just in their team. I present: The PokeMMO breeder market. This is a website based application that helps out the two roles, buyer and breeder. The goal is to create a much better market experience for both, the customer and the breeder. For that, I sat down with some Breeders such as CaptnBaklava, to create a system that makes sense. To give you a better understanding of how the system works, I created a workflow overview that gives inside for both roles. A customer creates an Order. The Order contains info about the Pokemon the customer wants. These include: - Which Pokemon - Level (for now, you can only choose 50 or 100, this will change in the future) - Nature - Ability - Held Item - 4 Moves (this is subject to change, I got tester feedback that sometimes there are more than 4 egg moves wanted) - 6 IVs - 6 EVs Once the Order is created, everyone can see the Order listed in the public section Breeders then can give Offers. These contain how much the breeder will charge when doing this breed, and how long it will take the breeder in days Once there are a good amount of offers, the customer then can pick an offer. Once an offer is picked, the Order gets removed from the public section. From now on it is only visible for the Breeder and the Customer The breeder now starts breeding the pokemon. While doing that, the breeder can update the status of the Order. The available states are: - accepted (default) - starting (to use when the breeder actually starts breeding) - breeding (while in the breeding process) - leveling (self explaining?) - finishing (prepare the Order for the customer to pick up) When the state of an Order is set to "Finishing", the breeder has the ability to mark the order as finished by clicking the "Finish Order" button. This gives the Customer the signal that his order is ready for pickup After an Order is marked as finished, the Customer now has the ability to use the "Close Order" button, to ..., well, close the order. Closed Orders are not visible anymore, neither to the Customer nor the Breeder. To make it a bit simpler for you to see what the advantages are for each role, I listed them below Breeder Wider Range Customers, customers and customers... and more customers. With this tool, you will get a lot more Orders. Easy Order Management The Breeder Market makes it very easy to manage your open orders Customer A competitive market You have the decision of which Offer you accept. Since the Breeder doesn't know what other Breeders offered, they probably want to offer you the best price possible Order states You can see your order's state. It is like ordering a package and having a tracking tool That was a lot of text, I know. You now probably want to take a look at it, and you can. But before you do, here are some things you should know: The Breeder Market is in Beta state, meaning there might be bugs. The more bugs you submit to me and the more details these bug reports contain, the faster I can fix them and improve the experience for you. The databases are pretty secure. But we have all been there that a service we use has a data breach and our passwords are leaked. To prevent this, please consider using a random generated password. If you dont wanna bother remembering it, you can use a password manager like 1Password or LastPass. The databases are not stress tested yet. I don't expect too many users to use this in the beginning. If I am wrong, and the databases won't hold up, I will very quickly switch to a better solution. The styling is not final. I am aware that the styling is not the best, I am not a designer, I am a software developer. Your day job is designer? Feel free to reach out to me. The app's styling is only tested on newer browsers (Chrome, Opera, Edge, Safari etc.), I don't expect the app to be styled properly on Internet Explorer. Please don't ask for Internet Explorer support, since this would be a lot of work (more than you would expect). If you have feedback for me, feel free to submit it via the forum as a private message. Feedback about the user experience or improvements for both Customer and Breeder site are highly appreciated. To create an account, please use your PokeMMO Username as the Username, so the Breeder/Customer can write you ingame. Please do NOT use your PokeMMO password though. An in-platform message system is in the work, but not ready yet. I think after all the reading (hope you did), you earned the link to the application: https://breedermarket.philcomm.dev/ Don't worry, mobile optimization is on the way, give me some time. If you wonder what is planned for the future, here are some features that will be added (order not relevant): Order filtering Better Pokemon Selection Notifications Rating System Export Customization Comment system If you have domain suggestions, I am also open for that (don't suggest breedermarket.com, that is already in use) Feel also free to give me your opinion on this: I thought about introducing an alternative registration system, in which the server chooses your password. So you enter the email and username, and the server returns you the password. This way, even if this service gets hacked, passwords are safe since they are generated by the server, not by you, and it is very unlikely that you have the same password for another website. I know that this system might be a bit inconvenient for some of you, thats why I am recommending using a password manager. What do you think? Let me know Stay safe and I hope you enjoy what I created PS: I tried to upload images, but the system doesn't let me upload all of them (even though they are less than 1.95MB together) :(
