sherdoonach Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Implement a phone like is in the games where you can take down npcs numbers. examples of uses for the phone is being called by the old man who will call you when an egg is produced, or the e4 lady who will call you when the e4 cooldown is finished. This phone would be very user friendly. SirAtlas 1 Link to comment
Eggplant Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I think it could work simply with user commands such as /egg and /cd It'll likely be considered as too much babysitting, but you have to add the egg timer into this. As in, how long left until the next "roll". Link to comment

Rache Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 For the daycare this could be useful, but not for the Elite Four. It's supposed to be the final destination for trainers - not a simple training area that you visit several times each day, despite that being how it's used. Also, the phone wasn't part of the series until Johto. To add the phone to Kanto would require rescripting multiple NPCs to say different things and to actually call you, which is more difficult than it sounds. This feature would annoy people too - I'm sure most people don't want to be bothered by some kid bragging about his Rattata when they're trying to do something else. Overall, I wouldn't say that this is a "bad" idea, just not that it's a "good" idea. The main merit to it would be the daycare, but there are probably much better ways to go about it. Perhaps when Johto comes around we'll get the phone, but at the same time we'll most likely get another daycare too. We might not even get the phone at all though as it's a bit of a useless feature (aside from Elm calling you to say that a Pokemon was stolen), especially in an MMO. Link to comment

TheBloo Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I'd prefer just a simple exclamation point over the old geezers head when he finds an egg sherdoonach and GymLeaderGreen 2 Link to comment
DiverMatt Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I'd prefer just a simple exclamation point over the old geezers head when he finds an egg As for the topic at hand, the phone annoyed the hell out of me so as long as there's a way to mute it or have a voicemail type function I'd be down.

JWingWangWong Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I have a phone in real life implementing a phone in game would remind me that I have a problem. And yes I thought the phone was annoying in the game. Link to comment
Atuan Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'd hope our PokeGear is more than just a phone. I'm hanging on to the fantasy of having the DPPt Poketch in PokeMMO. It has the best features of any of the PokeGear throughout the generations and a lot of the applications can be customized to fit PokeMMO. Not to mention some of the apps fit into PokeMMO more than they did in DPPt, like the Stopwatch and the Daycare monitor. Rache 1 Link to comment
