Recently we can see some people complains about farming is too hard. I agree !!
Well, you can have some questions in your mind
Why devs make farming harder and harder?
Why amulet coin changed??
Why there are charms and vouchers
More and more.
Well, they do not want us to have all comps and stop farming and effect cycle of economy??? Maybe.
Why people farming? where do they use their money at? Mostly for catching and breeding. Braces. Pokeballs.
How we get money? Most people was using rebattling method at past but now, they force people to use gtl and selling items and pokemons. So items and pokemons goes cheaper. Everyone turns a merchant who checks gtl everyday while farming items. +they nerf the items u can get.
Well, idea is that: Let's give pokemons a life span.
Example, after catching or breeding, a pokemon can live for maximum a year.
(Maybe Shinies 3 years (with that shinies get a special feature)
And let's say, breeding braces 3k (example), most expensive ball $750 (example), TMs 5-10k (example).
No more item nerf, but boost at pickup and held items.
When your pokemon used all its life time, of course it dies.
Well, maybe they can add some extra items to revive them from those graveyards (Pokemon Tower). Example, let's say cost of reviving (with current brace prices): 968-1094k (5x31 natured pokemon cost) = So this also can force people to breed 5x pokes to make worth to revive them = So more economy.
EDITS:
Old MMO games dies. Cuz no one wanna level forever. Cuz no one has time as before.
MOBA games popular now, and u can see threads in this forum as "Let us skip story part" , "Less farm More Comp" .
And devs afraid of players can get everything they want and stop circulation economy = so they cannot make this game easier.
Unless pokemons continue to spend money for players after they bred and trained too.
If you guys cannot accept DEATH or TREATMENT, so we can say , you must pay for your pokemons' food and water :SHRUGS:
I'm saying last time. You don't lose any of your pokemon. After bestfriend's words about disney and cartoon and bla bla , its about not being able to use in only "competitive battles" also maybe becomes "untradeable" too. You can still use while catchin pokes or battling gyms.
