Hello, Pokemmo. I'm here to talk about a feature you all probably love. Hoenn's secret bases. Who doesn't right? I remember playing Pokemon Emerald on my GBA setting mine up. It was a simple process, and I could still buy healing items! And now I was so excited to play with my best friend and have our bases right in the same place! ...I was. Then I took a look at the prices for even the cheapest furniture items. And this had me fired up and really irritated, like, what use is a secret base if it's empty?? Before anyone says "but you can get decorations for free from npcs" I know. The problem is nothing to put it on. I've talked to people about this. The first thing said, and what I sadly assumed, was that it was a money grab. Look, you want to get paid. I get it. I sure as hell want money too since I'm too broke to donate. (I didn't understand donation didn't grant more ingame money. Mistake edited. Not sure where the guy got the idea from.) The second option is the one I got from the mods on chat in channel 2. I appreciate their answer and take it as their final one for the time being. That being: furniture IRL is expensive, it should be that way here too. Please don't take offense but that kind of sounds like an excuse to me. While irl furniture is expensive, ones who purchase such have stable jobs and a source of income to pay for it. While a bunch of pokemon trainers? Who are, in game lore, canonically children? Capitalism is either coming down hard on Hoenn or something doesn't add up.
TL;DR: I don't understand the overprice in decorations. Please consider lowering the ridiculous price. Thank you very much.
