A global system would work better. Additionally the lottery in general isn't a "Money Making Method" Even in real life theres a profit margin for the algorithm that prints tickets if you are refering to scratch offs, and the fact that the odds of winning a "pick x" is based on the size of x such that they only contribute a percentage of buying towards the pot. Otherwise there would be no profit for the lottery in which they could donate money to schools/government/etc. So buying a ticket and picking a random number and then having a number randomly drawn weekly and making it a global event would be neater. Giving players 24 hours to pickup the prize or you lose the chance. To make it more pokemon related you could call it IV Lottery. Talk to the lady, she asks you to pick a Party Pokemon, you do so and it will save those iv's as your submission for the...week/biweek/day etc. Then on a chosen day of the week the game will automatically Randomly choose an IV for each IV type and then post it on a "Message board of sorts" You go check the board. If so many of your numbers are the same you get paid out based on how many IV's were correct. Its a money draw. It will payout for some, if you get really lucky itll payout well but percentage wise the chances are low. It'll give crappy IV pokemon a reason to live (use for lottery).

This is the only kind of bank any pokemon game will ever need. A loan system only serves to break the system. Essentially you are suggesting players be able to sell pokemon back to the game. Which is a terrible idea and an anti-money sink.

Do all of the Bug abuse players have the same ban message as that? Or is that ban message just reserved for chargebacks?

No you just sound like an imbecile. I'd say get back on topic but this is just some complaints without a good discussion to back it.

Redbull or wings usually do it for me. Only some routes have P-mon centers.

There's a ribbons tab on the Pokemon Description Pop-up. The only confirmed ribbon such far is the gift Pokemon ribbon. What other ribbons would be neat to see? ie: Shiny Ribbon Aquatic Ribbon This pokemon won some kind of tournament Ribbon Part-Ditto Ribbon Or even ribbons you can put on your pokemon yourself so you can mark them for breeding (think cattle) Discuss.

People make come backs? Interesting... There's also Emerald coming eventuallysoonish™.

I guess no one really remembers the great feeling of being first in something. First with X shiny, first with perfect IV's, first to beat the Elite 4, etc. Back when emerald was massively played on Gameboys you would destroy the game in a few days to a week, sometimes a month if you wanted to complete the Dex. Then you would reset, try something different that time around, and do it again. Of course it's not an apt comparison necessarily, it just lends reason to the fact that change is never bad, it just causes anxiety in those who fail to understand it.

I hit 91 with 1 mistake. I backspace too much though >.>

I just ate an entire box of receese ice cream :3 mmmm lol

Duplicate. Gonna go ahead and lock this.

I have a distinct lack of hat. However, Christmas Farfetch'd.

Movie 7 finished filming a few weeks ago. Not sure if this will cause issues with any voice over or editing.

One of my best friends went to the game. Supposedly the best college game ever. I feel like after the horrible game and all of the missed fieldgoals Alabama deserved to lose. I mean they shouldn't have ever been in that situation. They missed so many points. Sidenote: Auburn fan.

What really is evidence? That term seems circumstantial.

Animal + bread meme confirmed.

High school mathematics Emily :) and haven't decided yet but I'm fortunate to have thin leg hair ;D Just got a gift from a friend who's going out of town til January. :) superman shot glasses

Probably getting a new tattoo. :3 An Ibis on my left Calf. Probably professional clothes as I get ready to enter my new career in a little over a year. I really enjoy giving over getting. Feels better.

Renamed. Speaking of. The new hunger games. 8/10.

Someone suggested how about making them break. Depending on the grade, pokeballs maybe .2 Ultra maybe .5 the numbers would have to be worked with. This would allow them to not be completely semi-consumable.

The general idea is that if an attribute is added to a Pokemon to allow its Ball Type to be saved, that would allow for after the Pokemon is released to add the empty ball back to your inventory. If you catch a wild Animal in a "cage" after releasing it the cage is empty and you can re-use it. This allows for players to not have to spend nearly as much on balls but also requires the work of releasing Non-Comp UTs. Harder to catch Pokemon would require more balls especially if they broke free, thus breaking the ball making it un-usable. Prices for Pokeballs would not need to be then as well. You would still need to continue buying them but atleast you could salvage some. Feedback is welcome on the idea. Just thought it up after a player mentioned something similar to the idea. Downside: Masterball. Make it break if the pokemon held in it is released instead. Someone suggested how about making them break. Depending on the grade, pokeballs maybe .2 Ultra maybe .5 the numbers would have to be worked with. This would allow them to not be completely semi-consumable. Breakable would be a neat and easy addition to this idea as well.

We would want to do this in a simplistic way. Why not just ask a person what class they are? The winner would then report the match to Staff record keeper present. Points would be added up via a spreadsheet after each League night. If you actively keep up with your class each night would be up to you. Players will be milling around the League area saying things such as Class A looking for a class B player. If a player lies to you about his class you will be missing out on the points you could've won but you will still gain points. We could say players can only gain/lose a class each league night. That way you can still gain/lose match points, but not have to worry about class switching mid league night. I feel like 5 classes would suffice. A-E. Example being if you win enough matches to move up a class we would take that into account however we would then take into account losses and if you had enough to drop you from the class then you would stay the same as you started for the night. Spreadsheet formulas should take care of most of this.

This would actually work with some tweeking. Make it maybe 10 weeks, Players would recieve additional Perks for Attendance. The player who has the highest Points AND is rank A wins.. Make A-B ranked matches count for more match points. Each match is worth X match points with a Win more weighted than a loss. Example a Win at A rank 10 points while a win at F is worth 2. This could easily be done with a simple spreadsheet. Its an interesting concept. Keep in mind that is just my opinion of the system. I think leagues are fun and a great way to get the community to co-mingle. This post does not mean it is confirmed as will be ran.

14 hours to go. See you guys there. Can't wait!
