I really want to support this, because I think it would honestly be great for the shiny market, not to fix mistakes, but simply to make them more tradable (like if I were to buy someone's shiny dnite but wanted dragonaire, for example). But then I saw this: There is no way this could be implemented without making certain moves be lost. Jolteon would become the most OP pokemon ever with a Starmie moveset, higher stats, and volt absorb. Also, coding it to delete moves like those upon de-volution sounds like a stupidly ridiculous amount of code. It sounds like a good plan on the surface, but I don't want to live in a world where eevee=uber.

+1, not only because it eliminates the need to stare at the tv, but people who don't care enough to stare at the tv (like me) would still have a swarm checker. This should be a thing.

I never thought about writing characters first and then giving them a story, I always do it the other way around. O: That's a great idea. Thanks for your help. (:

For those of you who don't know, November is "National Novel Writing Month". Anyone interested can checkout the site here. Point being, I have 50,000 words to write starting in two days, and absolutely no idea what to write about, so for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to ask you all. Any ideas at all, it can be about anything. That being said, try to keep it in the realm of reasonable. Please and thanks! [spoiler] I tried to check the code of conduct and make sure I was allowed to post that link, but the link in the "Off Topic Rules" thread was busted. That seems important, someone should look into that. [/spoiler]

Welcome to the party Kraazy. [spoiler] One of us. One of us. One of us. [/spoiler]

+1 Sounds helpful without being too much so. I think 31 should be the same as 20-30 though, so we can't just hatch pokemon until the stats we want are blue.

I think before we catch up to gen VI mechanics, we have to finish catching up to gen IV. A base stat modification to make certain pokemon not pure crap would be awesome, but I feel like if we're going to affect the meta-game with changes like this, it's important that we do it in order. The improved movepool, type split, and extra pokemon that have come since gen III might have made it necessary in X/Y, but we really can't know it's necessary in this until we get there, and we might end up with some very stupidly broken OP combos if we jump the gun. - 1 for the time being, +1 for the future.

+1, but I think the fee should be higher than a star piece actually sells for, so we still have some kind of motivation to use them. 7-10k or something Oh wait, someone already said that

I've had this discussion with a couple people, and here's how I feel about it: 1) Linking items wouldn't really accomplish anything IMO. 9/10 people know what 11/10 items are, and it would just take the time you would have spent typing it to link it. 2) Linking pokemon from PC would be coolish, but also wouldn't make a whole lot of difference. The idea behind it was that it help us trade, and we can't trade from out PC, so... Also, you and I both know we don't want people to link a box full of abra and ask which one to use.

Yup. I get that it's kind of lame of me, but I thought it was a cool idea, and I know if I waited until dolls were out I'd forget. They're free to scrap this thread if they want.

+1 for giving rock smash more use than five minutes of story and a couple random items. What if evolution stones were made more expensive in celadon market (without the sell price being affected) and part of the rock smash drops, so it looked something like this: [spoiler] Fire/Water/Thunder Stones: 3% (not each, a second roll from the RNG could determine which stone) Star Dust: 2% Star Piece/Nugget: 0.5% [/spoiler] Rock smash farming would be insanely easy with a repel active, So drop rates should either be extremely low or rocks nerfed to only respawn every couple hours. But you knew that.

This isn't so much a "This is cool and useful and should get done soon" as a "This would be sorta nifty in the far far future" but here I go anyway. I'm assuming dolls will be implemented at one point(TM), you know, the ones for secret base decorating. I thought it would be really cool if they had the same 1/8192 chance to be shiny, so that the color scheme would (obviously) be different and we might (hopefully) be able to see it sparkle while it's on the map. They should also be tradable, 'cause fuck yeah shiny doll collecting. tl;dr, give us shiny dolls

This is another one of those ideas that I want to support, but just can't bring myself to do that. Don't get me wrong, the idea is great, 'cause there was a shiny espeon in trainer tower on my old fire red and I hated it forever. Here are my arguments though: If it's intentional that NPCs sometimes have shinies, that seems fair to me. The RNG is a spiteful and malicious god, and will taunt us as it sees fit. It it's unintentional, it'll get fixed someday(TM). So much this. As far as I know, there isn't a very large distinction between npc and pvp battles, so it would probably be pretty tough to make it bug proof, and if it did bug out all hell would break loose. tl;dr It's a good idea in theory, but it's risky, and it's a tweak in mechanics that I don't think would be necessary or significantly improve gameplay.

Is it possible for the Mewtwo to respawn as a different build every time it goes wild again, or would that be virtually impossible?

What about a kind of trust fund? Once per month, your mom (or some poke-bank or something) puts 1,000 into an "account" with ~3% interest for each hour you're online. [spoiler] IE 1 hour = 1,030 2 hours = 1,061 10 hours = 1,344 100 hours = 19,219 With a cap at about 155 hours = ~100k, 'cause it gets pretty out of hand at that point. [spoiler] the formula for those who are interested is P(1+r/1)^n where P is the starting amount, r is the interest percent in decimal form, and n is the number of times interest is compounded [spoiler] [/spoiler] The "once per month" is a pretty important part, 'cause that makes it harder to abuse using alt characters, especially in combination with how many hours you have to be online to get a worth-while amount of money. Maybe it could even only available after beating the the tougher version of the E4 to further discourage making a bunch of alts for it.
