[Denied]Catch pokemon to get GC coins.

its a nice idea but i cant see them adding this

also this would never work because those pokemon are so easy to get-its easy to catch dratini you can probably get at least 3~per entry,and scyther and pinsir you can easily trade random crap for

How about if they requested a pokemon with a certain lenght or size, like the magikarp dude that wants the big ones, while the girl wants Heracross's with big horns?

i was actually thinking about that or they could do a specific pokemon caught within a certain peroid of time(30 minutes?)

kind of just like some of the specific time restraint events that have been organized in the past, it could work since theres a time stamp now but i have a feeling it'd be hard to code.

I was thinking about time based ones or catching a certain size of pokemon, but thats even more unnecessary coding. Obviously this idea still requires coding but I think it would be slightly less than some other options.

List of all pokemon capable of being caught. RNG picks one of them. RNG then picks 1 of the 25 natures.

I don't actually expect this to be implemented, but I think the idea of having more "mmo" like quests that still pertain to things in the actual pokemon games is a step in the right direction. I certainly don't want something like this before all the moves and abilities are implemented though.

Not trying to troll but why should this even be implemented? I know you said this is probally never going to be intergrated into the game but this would be a counter to the 1000 coin max then go grind way the casino works in game. I would agree with this idea if the extra coins have a cap say 250 extra coins max? So it doesn't counter the casino set up and lowers grinding a little. Also the "quests" should have a timer to make the person have the uncertainty of getting the bonus coins or not. Timer can be 5-10 minutes? That prevents mindless catching for coins. This is my opinion on this matter I know this is probally going to ignored, but oh well.

I'll throw my weight behind supporting this. Mostly because your still being forced to technically "play the game" to get Game Corner TMs. Plus after several weeks, people probably have grinded the GC enough that you can get a TM anyway by trading a shit Pokemon to someone to fill their Pokedex (I've done it already twice and got two TMs I needed).

The point of forcing players to play the slots is fairly moot at this point. Offer in an option now so people can at least get 1 TM a day makes sense and still doesn't hurt the GC at all. Not to mention trying to find a certain Pokemon with a certain Nature isn't entirely as people in here have said it is. I've been hunting for a Timid Gastly for 4 weeks now and have still yet to find one. All I get are Hasty/Naive.

Obviously there would need to be a list of the Pokemon that can be RNG'd for this NPC. Otherwise if it lands on a Legendary spot/Pokedex Entry not in-game yet or a Spooky that's been taken out it could mess people up for a day.

I'd suggest 3 Pokemon of a specific "rarity" and a Tier system such as:

Tier 1 - Easy
Exeggcute - 400 Coins
Ponyta - 400 Coins
Marowak - 400 Coins

Tier 2 - Difficult
Dratini - 600 Coins (Promotes Money Sink Of Safari Zone)
Larvitar - 600 Coins
Skarmory - 600 Coins

Tier 3 - Rare
Kangaskhan - 1000 Coins (Promotes Money Sink Of Safari Zone)
Murkrow and/or Misdreavus - 1000 Coins
Unown ? Mark (Any Nature) - 1200 Coins

Everyday you get RNG'd to do a Tier 1 and 2 Quest or a single Tier 3 Quest. That way you at least get 1000 Coins in combination. Since the prior two are slightly easier, they require you to do slightly more work. Tier 3 are difficult so they require extensive work and earn you a lot. The elusive Unown ? Mark being a 1% chance obviously would be like hitting 777s twice on the slots since its so rare and probably would take the same amount of time (although I'd say any nature of it would be fine).

That's my input anyway. Either way, its a great idea and it'd be nice to get some form of "endgame" content tacked on in the form of NPC Daily Quests. I mean this is an "MMO" afterall.

That defeats the entire freaking purpose of the idea... and 5-10 minutes to catch a Pokemon of 1 in 25 natures is freaking absurd. You go catch me a Naughty Magmar in 5-10 minutes and tell me how that goes for ya. I doubt you find 2 with the wrong nature in that time.

How is getting a limit of maybe a few thousand coins per day from these quests breaking the GC? It would still take less time overall to just do the slots. This gives people the option to spend an hour or two looking for a pokemon with nature to get some extra coin. Some people don't like having to press two buttons in order to win. Spend 3-4 hours maxing out your account but want to kill yourself while doing it? Or spend an hour or two a day and get half way there and finish in about two days. It takes more time to do it this way but it makes the game a game again.

The hour or two to find the mystery pokemon to get some coins is based on luck just like the casino ad the time limit I said was something I thought of on the spot but I am not saying this a bad idea it is just to easy to exploit and get out of the casino that was just added. I would love to instead of farming the slots train another Umbreon and gyrados but really it is to early for this idea unless it has some drawbacks for the user like you can do coin betting for with this idea with a hour timer or so. (Example: 100 coin bet income if win 500 coins) could be more idc but still my opinion.

I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say. How is a set number of quests a day, exploitable? This is an OPTION.

You miss the point of people having grinded the GC for TMs for the past 3 weeks and have now flooded the trade forums/Trade Chat in-game with them for less than a Pokedex filler Pokemon. They're not worth as much as they were when first introduced. Their "value" has decreased fairly well and the point of adding in an option at all is validated by this.

Plus, the point of the GC is to make people play the slots. HOWEVER. With this option it gives people an opportunity to catch a Pokemon a day, bring it to the NPC, get up to 1000 coins on top of the 1000 they can pre-buy up to making the grind 50% less. The fact that catching the Pokemon with the RNG'd nature taking a bit longer than grinding the GC itself is to give people an incentive. Either spend a little less time pressing two buttons bored out of your mind, or spend a little extra time on the alternative of catching a Pokemon with a Nature. It STILL promotes grinding the slots with an optional choice that takes a bit longer but isn't nearly as dull.

Catching a Kangaskhan for example with a Brave Nature could be far more entertaining for the quest while simultaneously hunting for a Tauros or Scyther or Pinsir or Chansey to make your Quest search more tolerable. Its the fact that it provides a better suited theme of what PokeMMO is.

Not to mention the point of having 1 NPC Quest [b]PER DAY[/b] for 1000 Coins is nowhere near "exploitable". Yeah, people can make Alts and get 1000 Coins on those Quests too. But they can't trade Coins. And STILL have to grind Slots for the other 2,000 Coins for the TM.

Depends on how many a day I am not trying to flame or cause problems but too many a day can just counter the casino method. I agree there should be something other than just the casino but I also think it is to early for it that is all I have got to say about this.

[/quote] That is very true and I am all for this idea but I really think this is just to early for something like this if the casino was out longer I wouldn't have said anything at all about this idea (shouldn't have said anything at all) but there should be some sort of system optionally like a betting system with timer to get tons of coins and a basic set one that doesn't have a timer for a set amount say 500-1000 and make all the wanted pokemon rare (magmar electabuzz taros etc.) I am all for this idea I hate the casino but it is just to early for this I think..... Sorry if I caused trouble on this thread didn't mean to cause this flaming to start about how I guess that how I don't understand the idea. But I do like the idea but can it not just thrown in right away aren't starters going to be added to the casino in the next update and if this idea is added to early afterwards then the value of starters is virtually destroyed and eevee's value would be destroyed (would say porygon but value does it do competitively?) So once again I apologize for the post that led to flaming don't want to see this thread locked due to flaming because someone asked about adding some uncertainty to a choice as an option I think I was a bit vague with my idea but k my bad with that was my fault if I wasn't that clear with my posts.

Any means of getting coins besides those goddamn slot machines, I will fully support.

The casino has been out long enough. We've all spent our fair share of time pressing two buttons over and over. Lets get back to playing the game they spent so much time making. It doesn't eliminate the casino, just gives us some options.

Still has a valid point. I personally listen to podcasts while I coin grind, but most other people just sit there for hours (only takes an hour for me) just doing nothing but mashing Z praying for a triple 7

[HeavyCurse]

lol the GC is awesome already. The slots are fun :3 I just do not see why people need alternate ways to make coins so early in GC's activation. I still think hunting for a nature could take so long that you'd make wayyyy more coins in the time if you just sat and played. It honestly does not take me long at all to get max coins.

There is no way you're getting max coins in an hour.
