I left PH a long time ago, but I pop on while logged out every now and then to see how things are going. When I saw the thread Riako posted on the topic of decreasing activity, I can’t say I was surprised. I think this suggestion thread highlights a problem that is a big reason as to why I left PH (not the only reason, but a big one)

PH is too nugget-addicted. Too much on the site has a heavy addiction to nuggets. Shiny hunting, daycare breeding, certain retros, gardening, interacting, and now recently megas… nuggets impact the game in such a heavy way that they’re almost a necessity. It’s ok to have real life money perks that help make a game a little easier, but PH abuses that and makes it so that nuggets make the game a whole heck of a lot easier.

ESPECIALLY on a game where completion is a key goal. Pokedex completion, shiny and non-shiny, are a core focus of PH. Without nuggets, finishing the shinydex is hard to the point where it isn’t fun. That’s where I found myself. I looked at the outrageous difficulty of obtaining shiny megas and the unnecessarily expensive pricing of event passes compared to the time it takes to shiny hunt events without event passes. After analyzing these things, I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t worth sticking around. Perhaps if the dex completion wasn’t such a core focus of the game though, it’d be ok.

I’m hoping by throwing in my two cents that PH can undergo a change with these event passes. I know I started off broad with the topic of nuggets, but it definitely applies to this suggestion.

Also, to throw in some math:
There are 72 events in the event shop. I’m leaving out two of them, van Bagon and Mr. Bagon, because they are pretty easy to hunt compared to the rest. So these calculations encompass the 70 others. Each calculation is assuming you use one event pass per species, then use the daycare for the rest of the evolutions of that one species. For example, one Easter Slakoth is hunted with the event pass, then the second for Easter Slaking is hunted using the daycare. Also I don’t know how to convert money so apologies for that.
There are 21 common events. This leads to 630,000 event points; 63,000 nuggets, $630
There are 32 uncommon events. This leads to 1,920,000 event points; 192,000 nuggets, $1,920
There are 13 rare events. This leads to 1,040,000 event points; 104,000 nuggets, $1,040
There are 4 legendary events. This leads to 800,000 event points; 80,000 nuggets, $800

That’s a whopping 43,90,000 event points, 439,000 nuggets, and therefore a total of $4,390.

holyyyyyyyyy karrrrrrrrrrp

That’s a lot of dough. Too much. That doesn’t even include the money needed to keep premium running for the event passes, nor does it account for all the future events. Remember, PH is a dex completion game. That’s the main focus, the main goal. So completing the pokedex and shinydex absolutely positively has to be reasonably doable. There are other parts of the site that make completing the dexes unreasonable, too, but this thread’s focus is on event passes, so I’ll end my post on that.

Edit: And I didn't even throw in the math with both money and time on getting shiny event megas. Now that'd be quite the post, but I think my point has been made.

	I don't think anyone knows exact numbers. You may have to do experiments on your own to figure it out, which could be fun actually. [Read more]

	I don't think this is necessary. Our current system of weeding out bots and auto clickers works very well. This suggestion is over-complicating it; in many cases such as this one, simpler is better. [Read more]

	I feel like there was a similar suggestion a while back, but I cannot find it now. It was to have something like this for when a Pokemon was busy. As in, not just trading, but we would know if a Pokemon was in trade, rumbling, on a battle team, etc. I definitely support this but I also think it should be extended to the other things counted as a Pokemon being busy.

The auction house prices can fluctuate. Sometimes you can find a really good deal that you would not find elsewhere on the site. Other times, you find a really awful deal you would not find elsewhere. But more often than not, things there are around an appropriate price. It is not a place for assigning a certain set of values to things, which seems like the goal of this suggestion. There is already the limit of 999k as a starting bid, too, so technically this is already implemented.

	Are you perhaps willing to sell it for 85k instead? If not that's fine but it's the highest I'll go for it. [Read more]

	Pokeheroes is mainly an adoptables site. It's not created to be a battling site, so it's reasonable to expect battling to be simple. There isn't any good reason to improve the battling feature. This is why suggestions to do more with battling have been rejected in the past. [Read more]

You know how in anime we have the generic light novel adaptations that have the action, sci-fi, ecchi, harem, and fantasy genres in a school-like setting with one male character and fifty female characters? But yet tons of people still seem to really like these, and the more experienced fans know the drill and stay away from them. I feel like this is the same type of thing. We have the people who express dialogue in incredibly weird and inconvenient ways, things with absolutely no plot whatsoever, bland and uninteresting cliche characters... you know. But yet there are tons of people who enjoy that type of roleplaying, and the more experienced roleplayers know the drill and stay away from them.

In my opinion, I agree with the things this thread has mentioned. But I also find it very interesting that people can enjoy doing things in an entirely different way that to me seems childish.

Other than that little thing about it being interesting to me, I'd just be re-writing everything that everyone else in the thread has stated, with the exception of one thing: one liners. I believe that both one-liners and paragraphs are essential for a roleplay. Only typing paragraphs in a roleplay will usually, from what I've seen, add unnecessary fluff to the story. Why? Because you have to type a paragraph, so it's impossible to keep such an RP going without adding tons of fluff, sometimes even to the point where some or all of the story is lost. One liners are necessary to avoid this fluff. They provide a safety net for the story. A RP made entirely up of one liners, on the other hand, does not execute enough of the story.
