  1. FWIW: I did some EV training on Route 23... at both day and night. The hordes never changed. The switch from night to day happened while I was there, and I was using leppa berries because its kind of a hike from Viridian. It turned day with about 15 hordes to go, got mostly primeapes and mankeys but i still got like around 6 hordes of arbok during the day. Was still 100% attack.
  2. I can get behind more end-game content. But this isn't really that.
  3. Every reason this is a bad idea (imo) has been stated. If we're looking for ways to fund the devs/game, add donator-exclusive vanities that are untradeable. People will throw money at you as long as you dont bump the price up. A member chat is a cool idea. I just don't see why its needed or wanted other than to get away from a constant stream of team recruitment messages.

  5. How are you collecting this data? Just writing it down?
  6. I know, just making fun of myself for not being able to sell my own stuff.
  7. 90% sure that prices dropped minutes after you posted this, but its still high rate and high demand items. Also @Kaynine, might wanna add battling and using BP for vitamins. For some reason they actually do sell on GTL.
  8. ... Die Took me an hour to get two everstones the other day -_-
  9. Because thieving/coveting everstones is so much better right now T_T
  10. I don't even know if this is an attempt at a money sink. If the issue was the amount of money in the game, they wouldn't have reduced breeding costs. I feel like they're trying to make the game more immersive. But at the same time, this isn't a great way of doing it.
  11. Oops. Read something wrong. Derp. Either way, tutoring is ez
  12. If he plans on evolving it, seadra learns it on its own.
  13. I personally like Kindle Road. Sucks that they're dropping in price so quick... might be worth farming other items over them now.
  14. There's plenty of other, more updated guides.
  15. Sad that berries aren't really a good way to make money at this point. Better to just use Lum berries since they're annoying to grow. I have like 500 ;_;
  16. The main issue is people going AFK when they are about to lose. Forfeiting might alleviate this to an extent. Trolling would be people AFKing at the very first turn, which doesn't happen often. (A better term would probably be Griefing.) People forfeiting at the beginning isn't a bad thing at all for the winner. They get free BP, and all it took was sitting in queue for <120seconds.
  17. This has been discussed at length. Some people don't like it, some don't care, and the devs clearly like it so it probably won't get changed.
  18. My issue is not necessarily the barrier to entry. Its with the fact that newer players are immediately put at a disadvantage BECAUSE of scouting. Picture yourself in the shoes of a newer player who has like 9-10 comp-worthy pokes, a small clan/team, and most of his/her friends are on the team. This player can't scout other people the way someone from (just as an example) someone from MDVN could. This player won't have as many comp pokemon as (just as another example) KingBowser would. This means he won't know as much about his opponents as his opponents know about him, and he won't be able to make as many adjustments as his opponents can make. Because of those two things, scouting puts him at an immediate disadvantage. Any time something in the game is immediately putting specific players at an immediate disadvantage, that takes away from its "competitiveness" in my personal opinion. Barrier for entry is a whole different subject. I want it lowered, but thats because I care about the success of the game (and the most recent update lowered it slightly.) Scouting simply adds to that, although it isn't the largest factor overall. Prices of comp pokemon and the grind required to get them is far larger a factor for barrier to entry. Scouting simply makes it a bit more important to get an even larger base of comps. Note that I am not super strongly against it... I see the value in it. But if we're talking about making a playing field for players that is as balanced/even as possible, it should be addressed somehow.
  19. How is this abusable? Battling nets you nothing positive if you lose. All you gain is time by using a forfeit option (which currently means logging out and terminating your session) The only tangible benefit from winning in matchmaking is Battle Points. The only tangible benefit of losing is ____
  20. Try PMing a mod. Administrative users in forums can typically do this (just speaking from experience of forums I've admin'd for) but since I'm not one I wouldn't know for sure. But still... #BaconMasterRace
  21. I love the region, but I mainly just want them to implement the pokemon. Just for fun and to shake up the comp scene a bit.
  22. When I was way newer at the game I evolved a togepi so that I could breed it for wish on an Eevee. I then learned I can't breed gift pokemon, so I spent an hour raising happiness for no reason. And had to do it again. Devs pls.
  23. Some will, but it would probably reduce the amount. Either way its still a good change. Correct
  24. Jolt: I picked shadow ball over signal beam for the coverage. Growth makes it pretty easy to hit most pokes hard, and I made it bulky so it can take hits while using growth. Plus, kingdra has signal beam so the coverage is there at least. (And yes, they work together so rain dance might be replacable on one of them) Umbreon: So just deal with status then? Heal bell has probably won me some matches. I'll definitely test it out though since its easily re-learnable. Skarmory: *Sigh* more breeding then T_T Meta: I checked the speed tiers. It would definitely be a plus but I figured the steel type + HP meant it can take most hits and then deal a ton of damage. Its something I can test now that EV training is easy ESPECIALLY for HP and Speed, and the berries are cheap now too. Its speed IV is not great but not godawful. Its not going to outspeed most of what could kill it in any scenario, which is partially why I might just go for something easier to breed and replace meta altogether Which specifically? Most are above average but just not like 28+. Some things like Blaziken's SpA are like 5 but who cares about that lol. Plus, these pokes are a work in progress and I'm not against rebreeding them. Jolt is probably getting rebred for a better HP eventually. Like I said: I've got a way to go before being ready to compete in tourneys.
  25. EDIT: Got what I needed, can be closed.
