This isn't Pokémon GO my guy

I think this might be the most beneficial thing anything has ever done in terms of client customization serving an entire community of the game, and we all genuinely thank and praise you Gilan. For anyone who read and noted my last comment, with the latest update, tricking the counter into believing that your custom strings are the default english version is no longer needed. Going back to custom strings + english default works perfectly for me now. In terms of customization, I want to show everyone what can be done with this counter. My teammate @Barrelztitor has been playing with custom counter themes, and made these for me today: I asked for the long version specifically because I like the 6 lines of latest encounters. But I think if someone can do this, the possibilities are endless. I think he may be opening his own GEC theme shop on forums soon, but massive thanks to @Barrelztitor for making the custom theme and also @Gilan for even implementing the possibility to do this. You both sure know your playerbase. This update is amazing.

This suggestion would be beneficial for both the staff members and the community at large. For example, recently a guy I know let his friend borrow a Meowth holding a choice band. He got it back without the choice band. When prompted for it, the guy who borrowed said he sent the pokemon and the item in 2 separate mails, but my friend only got 1 mail. The guy said he thinks he maybe sent 1 of the mails to another person on his friend list with the same 1st letter of the name, but there's no way to check or to prove it. Now they need to get staff involved to see where the item went, or rather to who. A lot of people straight up have irrational fears of sending money or even mildly valuable pokemon/items via mail for this specific reason. Once you click send, that's it, it's gone, and you have to take the receiver's word for if they got it or not. Yes, in-game trading is better but people's schedules don't always line up perfectly to both be online at the same time, and mail is the the only work around for that. Being able to see sent mail would prevent headaches for the players and also help cut back on the support tickets that staff are always swamped with. To me it seems like a win-win suggestion for everyone. Unless it's super hard to make the game see a record of your recent outbox I don't see why this wouldn't be added.

Track suit (Yellow) + Gloves (Red) + Cape (Silver). If you didn't make your default appearance bald, then you'd also need a makeover kit to do that as well.

Payday auto triggers captchas. If you fail one then payday won't yield any money. From what staff member friends have told me over the years, it's no longer used as their primary bot detection service. It's super old / outdated, but still helps to stop ppl from thinking botting is a good idea. Over the years I know they have developed better systems for detecting if you're botting or not. Captchas are a system they added in like 2013. I know that if you payday long enough you will 100% get a captcha. If you answer it correctly, and then continue to payday, in 1 hour you WILL 100% get another captcha. The only way to stop them from popping up every hour on the hour is not to payday. Subsequently, the only way to payday regularly (and make money) is to consistently answer captchas hourly. I think this particular system could use some upgrades, but then again, there's more efficient ways to farm money. Even the grindy ways. Payday'ing is prob the simplest money making method for bots to emulate. I don't really expect it to change if it hasn't in years

Wow! Nice suggestion. The way u said "GIFT SHOP" makes it much more plausible as well. I can see you thought extremely long and hard about this suggestion. A few questions though, when linked to chat, would this fake shiny have yellow text to click on? Or would that be extra RP? Perhaps green so we know who paid and who didn't? Also how much RP do you suggest for a fake shiny makeup kit? Maybe 50,000 RP makes 1 arm shiny? So around 300,000 RP just for 24hrs for all 4 arms, head + torso? 350,000 RP if they have a tail? Personally I would love to see people paying these prices for temporary partial shiny-ness. It would be great for the game's long term health (because RP = server food, duh) and stimulate the in game economy at the same time. +1!

For me the counter is working fantastically after using the standard english strings. There is a way to make it work with modded strings - if you delete the original english strings change the modded string file's name to "strings_en", and then edit the strings file to have this in the first 2 lines of text, it will appear in your client as "English" under the client language, and the app should run perfectly from there: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <strings lang="en" lang_full="English" is_primary="1"> Shout out to @Gilan for being our hero and getting this amazing thing done. Must've taken up a lot of his time. I think the thing I'm most impressed with is how it works straight out of the box with an un-modded-strings client and there's no configurations or settings or really anything most users have to do. Can't tell you how many people I've walked through setting up encounter counters over the years Also nothing in here that's straight up un-useful to the average hunter (is that salt? no idea). He helped several people troubleshoot unique issues on their counter today and I know he has a lot of improvements he wants to add, so thanks everyone for testing and most of all thanks Gilan for being our hero

Gonna save you some time here - reading thread will be of major benefit to you: They updated "low-end" balls in an update / bug fix in December 2018. In the process, they actually "fixed" the higher-end balls, which was a change they announced in 2015, but never actually took effect. They didn't mention the high-tier balls in the change 2018 log, but this update/"fix" definitely didn't take effect until in 2018. In 2018, when most players noticed their Repeat/Dusk balls didn't work 100% for dittos anymore, some ditto/pokemon farmers submitted bug reports to ask why the catch rates were changed for more expensive balls - they were informed that the higher-end balls were re-worked to better suit a MMO environment: Referenced 2015 changelog (when they should have taken effect) & 2018 changelog (when the changes actually took effect): Certain balls' rates have been rebalanced: Dive Balls reduced to 3x maximum catch rate. Price updated to 1500 Repeat Balls reduced to 2.5x maximum catch rate. Price updated to 1500 Timer Balls reduced to 3x maximum catch rate. Price updated to 1400 Net Balls reduced to 3x maximum catch rate. Price updated to 1400 TLDR: It's an MMO and they'll do whatever they want to balance the economy
