    There has to be some resistance to the path for immediate destruction.

    That’s what the premise of every kind of these games are.

    You’re supposed to start out with the resistance and eventually build up to where resistance is obsolete, whether it be obtaining legendaries to help you out or other strong Pokemon. Then have little to no resistance at all following the acquisition of such creatures.

    What’s supposed to happen is there is a difficulty threshold that’s supposed to be passed and once passed through obtaining proper matchups makes it much easier in subsequent rematches, not one that always increases to the point of impossiblity(E4). That’s just poor game design.

    While to a degree, I do agree that zero resistance can make it too easy and boring. But too much resistance, which is what E4 especially is(and the Gyms with the Unova update), causes players to get discouraged and quit.

    If the Elite Four is too easy, then they would be inflating in game money like crazy.

    Not exactly.

    There’s a factor that both E4 and Gyms possess(more so the Gyms) that maintain their value. Not the difficulty, but rather the cooldown time.

    Because no matter how long or short of a time it takes for someone to beat them, the cooldown time stays the same.

    Main example, Person A could sweep Gym rematches with, say, Kyogre, and Person B could stall/use 5+ Max Revives/Potions and take longer.
    Either ways, after they beat the Gym, they still both have to wait 18 hours to battle the Gym again. And there’s no item or Pokemon that can speed up this process.

    E4 is the exact same way.


    So the point I’m trying to make is that the E4 doesn’t have to be on impossible mode all the time to have value. It all lies on cooldown time.

    If people were suggesting a method to shorten cooldown times, I’d agree that there would be problems, but the fact of the matter is that they’re not.

    If people were worried about the economy you wouldn't be able to straight up buy pokedollars by buying RP and selling it on the GTL. I don't see how what I suggested could hurt the economy any more than that would. But I hope they don't see it that way

    Fair point.

    But regarding E4, I think it’d be easier just to wait till dungeons, then we can get access to legendaries to even the playing field, like Kyogre or Latios.

    Why do I still not see BoltBlades in the ranked ladder, when anyone with a blindfold can easily get into it with a nice win rate? Or even get past round 2 in any tournament. Soooo predictable, yet you're so bad that even in this scenario you still struggle to get anywhere.

    Because unlike you and a lot of people on this game, I actually have a life so I can’t go all the way to #1 within a day.

    Also since I’m usually busy when the ranked matches start.

    No its not. Btw I replied on my other account by mistake I was logged in to it on another app.

    It is.

    The real incentive to catching legendaries in the games is that you get to keep them and have a powerful addition to your team if you choose so.

    Removing the ability to keep legendaries also removes the incentive and special nature surrounding them. Even if it makes E4 rematches easier to keep legendaries, that, also, is irrelevant. Since nobody does E4 rematches.

    So unless we can keep it, there’s no reason why we should have to use it.

    Only saw 3 new things so far, but didn't bother much with the game anyway.

    Scrafty Close Combat and Gyarados with Power Whip. But the big one is Rapid Spin with 50 BP and a guaranteed +1 Speed.

    Those all seem like great additions at first glance, especially Rapid Spin would enable some cool things I guess.

     

    They aren’t going to add those.

    They like to keep the PvP predictable

    That's right. Why they will give a reward to you for winning battles.

    It would ruin the economy.

    If you actually got rewards, friends could just manipulate this by purposely losing against each other and getting a heck-ton of rewards as a result.


    Besides, the real incentive in the main games for catching legendaries is KEEPING them. Since you can’t keep them here as of now, that removes the incentive and special nature about the legendaries.

  8. HOLIDAY HASSLE

    25% off all training services until the 25th of December, that being Christmas.


    After that, from December 25th to January 5th, any training service is 12k off(for 12 days of Christmas), and I will also throw in a complimentary Soothe Bell because tis the season.

     

    Once again, make sure to post your offers/service requests on this thread so I know who needs training and who to apply discounts/Soothe Bell distribution to.

  9. And whoever did, reopen it right now.

    I was curious as to see why I didn't have any taker, only to discover, "Oh, some jack-wad decided to close it". I check periodically, just in case someone wants to have their Pokemon trained.

    And I assure you, I'm not one of those people who takes your payment and Pokemon and just keeps them both. I have an honor code. You send me Pokemon with payment, they’re trained within the time alotted. And I even give an apology bonus if I don’t quite make deadlines.

    So whoever was the re-re who closed it, reopen it this instant.

    This entire thing could've been prevented if they just didn't announce Sinnoh until it was further in development. Like seriously it's been teased in march now we have december

    and we got nothing between then and now.

    Just radio silence and every mod just says we dunno when it's ready when asked about the state.

     

    Only natural people keep asking.

    So basically, it comes out when the devs get off their lazy @$$es and actually work on it instead of twiddling their thumbs

    To be honest i don´t want a christmas event, i prefer to see the new region (sinnoh) implemented and se if the hidden abilities are ready on that update. The game needs more content and events, but the new region for me its a priorty.

    We won’t be getting sinnoh for another 2-3 years
