    [Denied] Incorporate Pokémon minis into posts

    If you guys can somehow incorporate Pokémon ranks into posts, would be a nice way to get users to want to be more active via discussion.

    Let’s say whenever you post anywhere within the forums, you have a chance to roll a Pokémon. Chances would be low so that it would take some time to actually get something good but I think this would be a great way to get more people to be active.

    Going to get a lot of flack for this.. but remember chances will be low. Similar to getting a pet in OSRS, getting something rare like a mew two would be hard and take tons of activity. (Non-spam)

    Also this would not be applicable to spam forum.

    Imagine replying to a post and getting a Celebi. You would lose your shit probably! I know I would. I love the pet system in osrs so something like this would definitely give me incentive to want to be more active.

    Rares will still stay rares. So Celebi would be like a 1/30k or something.

    Please post your suggestions or thoughts on this. I think this is a great way to bring more activity. Similar to how Pokémon go was when everyone was out trying to catch them lol. Even if it brings fake traffic, traffic is still traffic. Traffic that will also be monitored… spam still not allowed.

    I think this is neat tbh. And so what do you collect pokes so they are only visible on your posts or something? Pretty cool ngl.

    Yes you can collect them and trade
    them exactly how they are now. Now however there would be three ways to obtain them.. through the gift boxes, posting, and special Pokémon events. Some Pokémon can be put aside for events only and some can be put aside for gift boxes only.

    I like the idea but I don't think they should be tradeable. Defeats the whole purpose of earning them via posting.

    I think having a chance at earning a pokemon by posting is a really cool idea. To bring activity up (not in SF). But having them tradable like I said defeats the purpose. If they are not tradable, that is what I will support.

    I get you. Makes sense. I’m for whatever! Just them being incorporated would be awesome rather than having to buy them or gift boxes.

    I also like the idea of this. Believe it or not, I actually lean more towards the camp of them being tradeable. Being tradeable allows them to be sold for $ which I feel like would drive more interest.

    I forget where we left off on the pokemon minis discussion last time we talked about it... Probably fizzled out similar to how prizebox revamping did.

    Either way, I think this could work though I would want everything to be tradable. We'll discuss it as a group soon.

    [Denied] Incorporate Pokémon minis into posts

    I'm somewhat biased as I have a lot of Poké mini's. It'd be in my interest to keep them rare.

    That aside, I'd like to address two things.

    1. Tradable vs None-tradable.
    Arguments can be made that making this tradable will cause people to post so they can possible get something rare they can then sell. However, what about the people who own these rare Pokémon mini's at the moment? These people (myself included) have spent a lot of money to obtain these. Adding this in will decrease the value by a lot. Pokémon mini's are the rarest and most sought after mini's at the moment. Almost all, if not all, minirank of choice rewards are used for Pokémon mini's.

    Therefore, I would prefer seeing this as none-tradable and slightly different than the current Pokémon mini's. Another option would be compensating people for their current Poké minis, but how would you do that?


    2. 'Forcing' people in to posting.
    People would now be rewarded for posting. This means that there will be people who will post for the sake of the reward, not to contribute to a discussion/topic. It can be very difficult to determine when a post is considered spam and when not.

    Picking the very first topic in Runescape 2007 General for example: nmz advice. A user is asking for advice on what gear to bring to NMZ. He has gotten a couple replies already. Now if people can gain mini's(money if tradable) by posting, a lot more people will give their advice. Could this post really use 30 people saying what they think is the best gear? It's also likely the Original Poster reads some of the replies, has an answer, and then doesn't read the rest anymore. In the meantime, posts will continue going on and the thread will become so large nobody will bother to read it.

    In regards to spam: when will you determine posts are spam in the topic above?
    'Yo use full dharoks bro its really good'
    'Check BIS Page on the Wiki and go with whatever you can afford'
    'Gear doesn't matter just make sure you use overloads'

    I can go on, but arguments can be made that these posts contribute to the topic, but arguments can also be made that these posts do not contribute to the topic.

    We don't want to devalue Pokemon minis. It's a thin line keeping the minirank economy stable. Perhaps in the future, but at this point in time, we are not looking to implement this. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.
