Pokemon minigame

Got my support.

 

Good choice!

 

Ok I understand Normal Pokeball vrs Legendarys, gonna be hard, but a 2% chance and you see them 1 in 5000 average? Damn thats gonna hurt if you find one like 5 posts before ultra/master ball, Also, will there be a list with the odds of finding specific pokemon, a way to turn the minigame off for some users who dont like (don't know who wouldn't)
How would trading work/would there be a subsection or whatever dedicated to the minigame?
Or maybe a small Pokemon section alone with PokeMMO/minigame/discussions.

And would there be an reward for gaining every Pokemon, like a, idk, Minirank or something (Dayum thats a lot of time to be fair, to Catch 'Em All)

Also will other users be able to buy Pokemon from others with RSGP and such? I'm not interested in this but maybe some-one will.

 

That system on the right is better IMO Moh, I'm sure it'll work a lot better than giving both, as you can't buy two with the same 'coin' (post) in the game can you.

 

I see it this way though, if you're playing the gameboy videogame for the first time, and somehow miraculously you run into Zapados when your pikachu is still like... level 20, there is no way and should be no way you can catch this pokemon because you haven't been playing the game for long enough. It adds to the longevity of the game if it's actually HARD to catch the legendary. They SHOULD be among the last pokemon you catch, at least among the last 50 (unless you post like crazy without spamming, and get masterballs early, which is fine by me!). Besides, that's not the only goal, your goal is to get all 151 pokemon, maybe it won't be possible for anyone to catch a legendary for a few months after the game is released. I think I'd be fine with that. It would keep people interested as opposed to them getting all three legendary in a month or two.

I don't know HOW the program will work, but I imagine there will be a table of some sort that the program refers to which has the chances for every pokemon to appear on any given page.

As stated in the OP, it will be off by default, and you have the option to turn it on and off at your leisure.

I don't know if trading will work at all, it would be really complex, but I'm sure it's possible. If it takes too much time to program a trading system, I will just as easily say fuck it, just create the simple version, the catch'em'all game, and let them catch their pokemon for themselves. I don't want this to become something people pay money for and could potentially scam for. I don't want to give people a reason to try and exploit the game.

I agree, I like the system on the right too. Like you said, if the masterball costs 500 GP, you can't buy a masterball AND a pokeball because you ONLY HAVE 500. Set GP = posts, and it's the same concept.

 

You wouldn't be able to find zapdos in the original games with just a level 20 pikachu lol.
OT: But still if my calculations are correct, that would be.... 1 in 250k chance of catching a legendary, 50x5000?>.< idk if thats right.
Maybe 1 in 50k chance would be better or something though yeh without trading would be more fair and obviously easily to actually do, and could get updated in future, man this needs to be implemented it sounds awesome XD

 

Bump for exposure!

 

How much more support do we need? Send this to Richard!

Pl0xage Sythe.

 

plz mr. clash

 

Bump for exposure

 

Are shinys going to be implemented? Like make them a 1/8000 chance they'd appear like in the game.

 

I sure hope so! c:

 

Sounds like a great idea that'd be lots of fun.


Also allows for more community participation as people show off, something the mini-ranks are attempting to do so would tie in nicely with that...

 

Right up to the top lolz

 

Hi &#32;

 

supports this. being as i havn't marketed in a good year+ would give me something to do on this site besides SF, and other games discussion -which there really isn't any of-

yesh from le yummybear

 

I love this idea

I don't think poke balls should be handed out per post or we would probably get even less quality post ie bumps , spam to raise post count I think it should be 1 an hour or some other criteria.

 

The reson I bumped this thread in the first place is because sythe is looking for a way to dole out miniranks, and along with that, he's looking to incorperate a "time online" meter. Therefore, this suggestion would work for both of those things! Miniranks in place of pokemon, and you earn pokeballs (or some other minirank catching device) by being online for x amount of time.
