I just thought of this in school XD

So,I'm gonna make it as easy to understand as possible

This idea is like a quest type of feature.

In emera there'll be a ranger department whose Job is to secure peace in the area and fulfill the expectations and needs of the citizens that is us.

They'll be a bulletin board where there'll be two sections of requests box. The first one will be a computer made request and the second one will be user made.

Examples of requests are

"Hi,Can you give me two sun stones?"

"Hi,Can you train my pokemon upto lv45?"

"Hi,I'm looking for 10 ralts do you have them?"

"Hi,I'm looking for someone to hatch this egg.Can you hatch this and give it to me?"

Of course there'll be rewards and also ranger ex.points

There'll be six ranger level

E,D,C,B,A,and S

The lowest is rank E and we'll all start from there. In E rank you can choose upto 5 requests and as you level up to the next rank we can choose 5 more requests and when we reach S class an extra 5 will be added which makes it ten as a bonus.

I was also thinking of a different way to rank up.By doing a certain number of requests we level up.

And who knows riako can also implement hoopa or cosmog here.And of course there'll also be a quest for them but getting the quest will be quite hard or easy depending on the ranger level.E rank Rangers have a very low chance of getting the hoopa/cosmog quest while S rank Rangers have a fair chance if getting the quest.

For the requests there'll also be a due date implemented for the requests or no expiry date until the user himself takes it down for user made requests.

I'm sure you must be thinking like "We have gts for that right? "

Well,honestly I think of course we have gts but as the citizens of emera we also have our needs right? So let's leave that to the Rangers to complete it for us.

Also for user made requests I don't really want the users to decide the rank of the quest as there may be users who will take it too lightly and make an S class request while the task is an easy one.

Well,this is my first time trying to put up suggestions so rest easy on me ^^"

I don't know what others think but personally I think it has potential ^^

Any questions or further improvisations and cons for my idea is sincerely appreciated.Thank you.

I dont reeaalllly give much support...

1. Like you even admitted, this is almost exactly like the GTS, at least the user-made side of it. You simply just have to ask for an interaction exchange or look in the real GTS if you want an egg hatched, a couple Sunstones, a level 10 Ralts, etc.

1.1. There are many exchange systems for these types of things. GTS for Pokemon/Items, Gem Exchange for gems, Berry Booths for berries, Item shop for berries/evolution items, and Auction House for PD/Pokemon, this simply isn't needed.

2. How many users would be so generous to fulfill all these requests for other users, and give away their PD, or items to level up? As far as I know, leveling up doesn't give you any rewards, so what's the point? I'll use the Berry Garden as an example, since this reminded me of the Berry Garden. In the Berry Garden, you fill out automated requests for berries, or some other item common in the berry garden. And when you plant berries and spend nuggets/PD on growing berries, you get exp, PD, and berries. From what im reading, its like the Berry Garden quest system, but with higher requirements to meet before completing the quest, and no useful reward afterwards. Of course if you mean that users do give PD or something back, then it just makes my first point stronger.

3. I think that it will just create a bunch of spam from one or two trolls asking for a level 1000 Ditto, and giving 100 PD as payment. The user-based side would be perfect for trolls to test how generous certain users are.

Though most of my argument was centered around the user-based side of it, but I don't support the automated side of it either, I do think it would also be just like the Berry Garden or GTS.

I just wanted to say that i'm only arguing with the reward system for the user-based side, i'd assume that if this was created, Riako would at least make the automatic requests fair. BUt users can ask for anything and offer anything, just like the GTS.

I like the idea, but it maybe has to be changed a little bit.

Instead of user-based tasks, this could be completely like the bulletin board in the berrygarden.

A very rare prize could be something like a ranger token and you would need 2 for new retro pokemon and 5 or more for a special prize like Cosmog.

Yeah I agree with you both there.There may be lots of spam and trolls and the berry request board type bulletin board sounds cool too

Ps wolfsdrache your avatar is golden sun's djin isn't it?

I think this would be better if WE were the Rangers and had to supply things to various NPCs. I'm a huge fan of the Pokémon Ranger games, and they wouldn't be very fun if I was a citizen!

We shouldn't get any prizes for fulfilling requests since Rangers in the games don't do that. So, I think for fulfilling requests we'd get ranger points (which of course you've already mentioned), and the prizes would come from ranking up. The best prize being obtained by reaching Rank S.

I think maybe having another Pokémon would be a good idea, though. Another un-added one from Alola, but make it a breed-able one maybe.

But I don't think having Cosmog and Hoopa is a good idea if we were to have prizes for ranking up since you can only level up to each rank once, so you wouldn't be able to get more than one, so people wouldn't be able to shiny hunt them/get multiples.
