  1. As others have explained, False Swipe is simply a damage dealing move that can't KO the opponent. It only has 40 base power, so it may fail to do enough damage to bring stronger Pokemon down to low HP, especially if the user also has low attack.
  2. The name was filtered due to "BranNIGan". This particular filter seems to be quite troublesome. Perhaps there will be a revision to it sometime in the future.
  3. This will not be happening. A fee that scales with asking price encourages reasonable/realistic pricing and discourages listing assets at absurd prices for vanity purposes, among other things. Making the fee a flat price will result in an influx of extremely overpriced Pokemon and things listed at absurd prices that the owner has no intention to sell. The scaling tax is ultimately healthy for the market.
  4. The problem with horde vs horde matches is how utterly chaotic they would be. Matches would be over extremely quickly, likely determined by whose Rock Slide user is faster. There's little to no room for defensive play of any sort when a wall (and every other Pokemon on its side) is taking up to 5 hits per turn. A 5-turn Horde vs Horde battle would be considered a long one. It would just be a mess.

    I demand 30k NOW

    Inappropriate Pokemon nicknames are now filtered. I'm afraid that we won't be paying for new nicknames as a result of the change.
  6. If you feel that Metagross belongs in the uber tier, you should create a post here with reasoning as to why you believe it to be banworthy. If the tier council feels that it may be too strong, it will be looked at closely and discussed.

    You may have noticed

    I'm afraid that this doesn't warrant a thread~

    Signature request threads aren't allowed. I suggest taking a look at the Creative Media section and asking someone with a style that you like.
  9. This is as far as we got. It could pass for either Taillow or Swellow due to how similar they are.
  10. Certain areas are effective for certain things. Even if a player doesn't need to go there often, having a free healing place that is closer than the Pokemon Center is something that will be used often and will pretty much defeat the purpose of a secret base as it will be moved around constantly for PC access rather than kept in an interesting location. Route 115: Best location to catch Swablu, Taillow and Jigglypuff. Route 120: Easy location to EV HP and only location to find Mudkip. The only way to make a base PC work would be if it weren't also possible to use it for healing your Pokemon and if it didn't allow you to take new party members out of the base.
  11. Nothing is being exploited if the player is taking advantage of something that is actually supposed to exist. Additionally, the Pokemon Centers on Seven Island and Fallarbor Town are static rather than essentially portable. Neither of them are anywhere near the patch of grass on Route 115 either. There are a few locations in which healing at a nearby base will always be faster than going to a Pokemon Center. The aforementioned Route 115, Route 120 (which is commonly farmed for both EVs and Mudkip) and several others. If people can move their their Secret Base nearby to use as a healing location, they will. There is pretty much no chance that the feature will ever be implemented in a way that allows that, so simply giving the player a PC in their base will not happen unless something is put in place to prevent their current party from being healed and new Pokemon brought out of the base. If you'd like base PCs to be a thing, you'd achieve more by suggesting alternatives that achieve the same result as the post above yours if it's undesirable. Without limitations, this feature cannot happen.
  12. The only way I can see this possibly working would be: Upon entry: Notify the player of what will happen so they don't panic when their team is missing. Take the player's party away. Create a new party by giving them the first Pokemon in their PC or making them choose. Disable trading while inside. Upon exit: Deposit all Pokemon they're holding. Return the original party. This prevents the Secret Base from being used as a healing spot, but comes with its own problems - most notably that it makes little sense and is overly complex. The player would also need to have at least one Pokemon in their PC for it to work, which won't always be the case if they only caught what they intended to use in the story.
  13. No need to get sassy - this is a discussion, not an argument. If you plan to be hunting in a certain area for a long time, having a base nearby will be easily worth the moving cost when you can use it to prevent having to leave or buy items. If you plan to shiny hunt on Route 115, you'd almost be silly not to build your base nearby. The Pokemon on Route 115 range from lv17-20. Let's say 18 on average. Pay Day has up to 32 PP. Let's be generous and say that your entire party consists of PP Maxed Pay Dayers. You make around 35k with their combined PP if you're using it on every Pokemon. This is 192 encounters. After you go into your base to heal, you do this again. Let's assume that you encounter a shiny on your 10,000th battle. It may take more, it may take less. You've had to heal 52 times to do this (and have made 1.8m from Pay Day). If it takes a minute more to heal at a PC and get back compared to going into your nearby base, you've saved 52 minutes. A single run of the islands will net you over 100k in less time, thus making the 50k to move worth it both financially and in time. I should also point out that a significant fee can be enormously discouraging to a player not wanting to exploit its healing capabilities and instead just finding a base that they prefer. It's not uncommon for players to make their first base in the tree next to the NPC that gives them the TM after all. Players can also abuse a healing function with alts and friends/teammates as they'll be able to access those bases as long as the character is online.
  14. If it's made expensive enough to prevent people from using it simply as a portable PC, it would see no use it at all, thus making it a pointless suggestion.
  15. If you didn't care about making it look good, you would instead have a portable Pokemon Center that takes no effort to decorate. When you pack up a base regardless though, all decoration items are returned to you. They're not lost or left behind.
  16. Route 115 is a great example of why this idea poses some problems. It's the best place to find Swablu, Taillow and Jigglypuff and is extremely far away from a Pokemon Center. It also requires a Repel if you don't want some Tentacool encounters along the way. [spoiler][/spoiler] Someone hunting for Pokemon in that patch of grass for a long period of time would be a fool not to move their base nearby. This suggestion essentially turns secret bases into temporary healing locations.
  17. A major issue with this is how easily it can be exploited. Depositing a Pokemon into the PC completely heals it, meaning that a Secret Base can essentially function as a Pokemon Center when you're out on a far-away route.
  18. The ability to switch held items in battle will never be happening. If you want to use regular items such as Potions in battle, you will have to duel in normal mode.
  19. This is still a work in progress, but shows that I'm not quite dead.
  20. For a multitude of reasons, we will not be giving exact encounter rates in the Pokedex. With the exception of custom placements, you can get a good idea of the approximate encounter rates by looking at Fire Red/Leaf Green and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire spawns.

    Dive

    The only place that you can get the Dive HM is in the Hoenn region, which requires Emerald.
  22. If the Houndoom was holding a Macho Brace, that halves its speed stat. As for Diglett, it can naturally be that slow. Assuming that it's a wild or NPC Pokemon, its speed stat will always be somewhere between 36 and 50.
  23. Rache

    Same speed

    This is correct.
  24. I'm afraid that staff do not moderate trades or get involved in trade disputes. Please ensure that you remain vigilant at all times when trading with other players to prevent yourself from becoming the victim of a scam.
