If you dont understand what the title means,Its bassically this

A few games which I played has Skins for weapons,clothing and so on but sometimes they have events where they will give out skins to only ONE player and no one else gets it unless they bought it from him..If we have that on PH where its unbreedable and Only One in the entire Pokeheroes..(as what pkmneclipse says 1OS UNOB)..That might spice up the game abit and makes users more determine to play the game and do something else rather than just interact or just get bored..

They can obtain the Pokemon via events (like completing quest,adopting eggs,hatching,Art contest,etc)) and The first one to complete the special quest gets the Pokemon...

As I said only 1 person gets the pokemon and no one else unless they bought it from him.

So yeah Yes or No!

To be honest, no support.

In my opinion, the only thing that will do is create more complaints about either how someone cheated in some way or there being bugs. There'd also be complaints of slow wifi and other technological excuses, which are bad enough even with events that can be bred.

I also think that if only one is given out, it'd also discourage most users from participating especially since there are thousands of users that are active at least weekly. This would cause users to simply go "what are the chances of me winning?" and give up.

Negative. This would be like opening a can of worms. It would also probably encourage users to violate the terms of service in order to get said pokemon. Real life currency trading is probably prohibited aside from the nuggets side of things of course.

Yeah, no support. This would take quite a while to code. Besides, something similar das previously suggested.

No support for everything stated above. Plus, we have a Pokedex feature on site, so it wild basically make that impossible.

No support as well

Mostly because this is a site all about collecting EVERYTHING
-There's rewards for finishing the main dexes, there's incentive to get everything.

Plus, how would this be determined? Only a chance if you're premium, or a mod? A chance between all users who are active? If it was a contest beforehand, you'd just get people making double accounts to get it or something


If you can read this, you know how to read.

This would only create a competition between about 10 users who are active pretty much all the time, all the rest wouldn´t stand a chance. I´m a fairly active user myself, but most of the time when I get online on the day of a new event AND I´m early, I already see "14th OS" new event without having made the very first interaction.
I don´t think distributing to only one user would be fair at all

No support from me as well, for the reasons already stated.

And.

To add on to what has been said - similar to what Gottesbob already said, I guess - there are also timezones you need to take into consideration.

Let's take regular event distributions as an example. Most of the time, they start at server reset because it makes sense and also gives them kind of a routine (always starting at the same time so you know what to expect). Server reset for me is either 1 AM or 2 AM (daylight savings). Simply ignoring the fact that there may or may not be more active users out there, I'd never stand a chance to get 1 OS simply because I'm dead asleep when event distributions start - and I'm definitely not going to mess with sleep for something like this.

Chances for rewards like this should ideally be the same for everyone, and this is simply not the case here.

So yeah. No support, at all.

As has been mentioned a few times already, it simply wouldn't help the 'community' part of PH.
Any pokémon/event that only has 1 in existence would have an adverse effect on the users, especially if someone would be lucky enough to get more than one.

One look at how Victini events are sometimes received as they end, shows that this would not be a good idea.

Keeping that in mind and with over 90% not supporting, this suggestion is simply not a possibility.
