    Get rid of the money sink on the name rater

    in Suggestion Box

    Posted

    I think that this it is a sort of workaround. I think we shouldn't have to write notes about the given pokemon in its name as we do now - at all.

    We could, for example, use some marking symbols for that like in original games.

    Or, what I think could be even better -  a special tab in pokemon summary. It could be dedicated to keep all kinds of notes about that pokemon (it could also allow more characters than pokemon name).

    Name field as is now is kinda limiting in that matter. If we don't have to use name field for notes then there's nothing bad in keeping the fee for name changer either.

    One question: Is the trainers in the gym limited to run the monotype of the Gym? In original games there are occasions where this isn't the case, such as Juggler running Psychic in Koga's Gym, the Zigzagoon kid in Mauville Gym and so forth.

     

    As long as the leader is someone that you made up yourself, they can come from anywhere you like.

     

     

    I'm fine with this as long as the gym leader has a monotype team.

    There was this question in comments and she said it's okay.

    New gym leader in town!

     

    As you may have noticed, recently some serious construction works have been carried out at our local gym. After our reporter's thorough investigation we can now confirm this - we have a new gym leader in town! Who are they? What kind of challenges did they prepare for our Pokemon trainers? Read on to find the interviews that will shed some light on the many mysteries of the new Viridian gym!

    VNA25eH.pngGetting to know the New Gym Leader

     

    Our reporter obtained the information that current gym leader used to work at Professor Oak's lab. We interviewed the professor to get to know a little bit more about the new leader.

     

    Welcome, Professor Oak! Thank you for sparing a little bit of your precious research time for this interview. 

    Q1: Could you tell us a little bit about new Viridian Gym Leader?

     

    Welcome! And thank you for having me here today. The new gym leader goes by the name Sliding Panda. I don't know her real name, I don't think anyone does. She used to work with me in a lab. She's a very talented programmer - helped me a lot with enhancing Pokedex application.

     

    Q2: Do you know each other for a long time? How did you meet?

     

    It was a year ago if I recall correctly. I saw her in Pallet Town going through the grass. She looked so young! I immediately thought she was a new trainer. I wanted to scold her for being so careless... Haha! I couldn't have been more wrong! It turned out she's 25 and she's already visited many Pokemon regions. She was actually looking for me. Professor Birch from Hoenn region sent her to me to help me improve my lab's software. 

     

    Q3: What an interesting encounter! Do you perhaps have a picture of the new leader to show us?

     

    Actually, yes I do. I don't think she would mind. Here it is:

    Q4: Can you tell us something more about the gym itself? What kind of gym is that? What kind of riddles should we expect?

     

    I'm not sure how much information I can disclose. It's a new gym, many trainers didn't get a chance to challenge it yet. I can give you one good tip, however. Although she is a sort of scientist - DO NOT expect electric gym. If you want to learn more about the gym itself I suggest that you interview the chubby guy strolling through this town. He really likes science, so does the Sliding Panda - they were the best friends when she was working here. 

     

     

    eOZJvqj.pngGetting to know the New Viridian Gym

     

    Following the advice of Professor Oak we interviewed Jessie - the best friend of leader Sliding Panda.

     

    Welcome, Jessie! Rumor has it, that you are the best friend of the new Viridian Gym Leader - Sliding Panda. 
    Q1: What can you tell us about the leader? How did you get to know each other?
     
    She was new around here. I thought I'll introduce myself. I told her - 'Technology is amazing'. Science, yeah! She knew what it's all about. I felt like we were the soul mates, man! Instant friendship. She loves pandas, she told me these are some bear like Pokemon that she met in a far away region. Look! Here is a photo I took of my buddy Panda:

    Q2: We were told that you can tell us more about the gym riddles. Why is that so?
     
    That is so true! And why you ask... because I'm a new gym guide! That's right, I can tell you everything about the gym layout, gym trainers, gym leader battle. The gym Panda leads is a Normal type gym. She says normal type Pokemon are often underestimated by young trainers. They seem too normal... But they come in so many shapes and characters, they are strong and have only one particular weakness. That's the lesson she wants to teach young trainers - show them the beauty and might of normal type Pokemon.
    Man, I could talk like this forever. Do you want to know all about the gym? I can tell you, no, I can even show you! But promise me you will hide some information as to not spoil the fun for those who want to visit the gym without any hints.
     


    Viridian Gym Walkthrough

    by Jessie the Gym Guide


    Let's go inside the gym, let me be your guide. 

     

    Zlt7GDI.png

     

    This is the 1st floor. Here I stand and welcome all new trainers. This is what I usually say:
     

    Yo champ in making! Do you want to challenge Viridian gym?
    Trainers here use mostly normal type Pokemon. If you want to stand a chance be sure to take some fighting type with you! The gym has multiple floors connected by the maze of slides - you will have to slide your way to the leader!
    I will give you a riddle: 
     
    Which is NOT a normal type Pokemon:
    1 - Absol
    2 - Girafarig
    3 - Dunsparce
     
    If you know the right answer and can decode it I'm sure you will find the shortest path to the leader. 

     

     At the very end of this guide there is explanation of how to solve the riddle. 

    Choose either green or red slide and read the right spoiler to know where you end up.

     

    Green slide

    [spoiler]

    Go to floor B1F

    [/spoiler]

    Sadly you chose a wrong slide and you will have to fight the trainer that could have been omitted otherwise.

    This is a Bird Keeper Hank - his team is all Normal / Flying type Pokemon to deal with the fighting type. His team is made of very fast and strong physical sweepers.

     

    He says:

    Time FLIES so fast. Battle. NOW.

    After you beat the trainer you can use the elevator (red carpet) to go back up and heal. The elevator only goes up so to continue with the gym you will have to slide back from the beginning and possibly fight other trainers that you omitted if you choose different path.
     
    You can choose the slide and continue:

    Gym Riddle Explanation
    [spoiler]
    Gym Leader is a programmer so to solve the riddle you need a bit of programmer's knowledge.
    First notice that each answer has it's own number. Let's decode each number into binary code.
     
    Which is NOT a normal type Pokemon:
    1 - Absol  1 = 01 in binary 
    2 - Girafarig  2 = 10 in binary
    3 - Dunsparce 3 = 11 in binary
     
    Often in programming and logic we assume 0 = false and 1 = true. 
    In our culture we also associate green color with true and red color with false
    So putting all this information together - the right answer to this riddle is 1 - Absol.
    So 1 = 01 in binary
    01 = false and true
    false and true = red and green
     
    So to reach the leader in the shortest way you should first choose red slide and then green slide.
    The gym guide could possibly give many different riddles, but using this logic one could always find the shortest path.
