The “Currency Exchange” would be located in the GTS. Visuals:  Show
hidden content
Main page:
 Alt with tax + minimum:  Specific offer:  Alt with totalling + minimum:  Full list sorting options:  Alt with minimum + dropdown visible:  Usernames would be displayed, unlike the Item Market, to discourage buying and reselling for profit. A user would only be able to have one exchange up at a time. This is again, to prevent reselling, but also helps reduce spam (you have to delete your old exchange in order to set up a new one). When trying to create a second exchange: - if it is different to your current exchange, an error message would be displayed - if the PD and Nugget amounts are the same as your current exchange, it would be added to your current exchange (increasing the # available) [this would not bump the exchange] PD taxes would still apply at a 5% rate: - when selling Nuggets in a new exchange, you'd be taxed when claiming PD [from the exchange page], similar to Item Market - when buying Nuggets in a new exchange, you'd be taxed when setting up the exchange, similar to the GTS This also means you're discouraged from setting up new exchanges, and should check for any existing exchanges first. (Or any combination of the opposites, to make it so the buyer is always taxed, or the seller is always taxed: - when selling Nuggets in an existing exchange, you're taxed upon clicking exchange - when buying Nuggets in an existing exchange, you're taxed after the exchange, upon claiming PD from the main exchange page) Users should be able to choose how many Nuggets they want to exchange at once; some users like to keep theirs as a multiple of 2/5/10. For example, in the first visual, Bokuto is buying Nuggets in sets of 5, Jacharias is selling them in sets of 10. The minimum trade amount for Nuggets would still be 50. Like the Item Market, you'd have to leave at least 50 Nuggets behind, or buy all of them. Exchanges would expire after a certain period of time (1 month?), to again, reduce the number of (unfair) trades. Note: I am not suggesting a feature that automatically converts your Nuggets to PD or vice versa; these trades are still between users; it just offers a separate area for them to take place.

Yes, Exp. Shares exist, but that is nowhere near enough. You can get around 30k Powerorbs in 25k clicks, with 8 Exp Shares. 60k in 100k clicks (max per day). Considering most eggs have 5k EHP, you’d only be able to hatch 6 eggs by doing 25k clicks. PFQ also has an Exp Share (1 EXP/party member/click). In addition, they have the Egg Timer. For reference, PFQ’s egg timer provides 2640EHP/hour, at level 10. (PFQ has more members, so PH should really have more than that). Note that while this suggestion is somewhat inspired by PFQ’s Egg Timer, it is not the same. Egg Incubator - “an apparatus used to hatch eggs under controlled conditions” Option 1 - 1 Incubator affects 1 Party slot: You would obtain 1 during the Tutorial/early Trainerlevels. The other 5 Egg Incubators would be from egg-hatching milestones, e.g.: - hatching 500 Lab eggs - hatching 100 Daycare eggs - hatching 50 Tall Grass eggs - hatching 20 Gem Collector / Bug-Hatching Contest eggs - hatching 1000 total eggs These could be either purchasable after passing the milestone, or given to you for free. [Other potential methods - EggDex completion milestones, Badge sets, Puzzle completion milestones, Plushie completion milestones] What happens if you have less than 6 Incubators? There are a few ways this could work: - They only affect the first X Party slots - They only affect the last X Party slots (some users like to keep their Pokemon in the front) - You can choose which slots to “equip” an Incubator. Note that you are not equipping it to an egg, but a slot; so you wouldn’t need to keep equipping it for new eggs, it stays in the slot until you remove it. Either way, eggs would default to incubator slots, so you don’t have to keep rearranging your party. I think needing 6 Incubators in order to affect the whole party would be motivation to get them all. Similar to how Rumble slots work; you’re able to use the feature, but you’d have to put in effort to reach the full potential. Option 2 - Incubator affects the whole Party (upgrades to increase EHP gain) Instead of having to obtain multiple Incubators, you’d be able to obtain Incubator Upgrades. These would be obtained from similar milestones. Each upgrade increases the rate of passive EHP gain. Once you reach a milestone, your incubator would be upgraded to “Incubator V#”, similar to how Wide Lens upgrades work. Option 3 - 1 Incubator affects 1 Party slot + upgrades to increase EHP gain You’d be able to obtain the 6 Incubators from the same egg-hatching milestones as option 1. In addition, you’d be able to upgrade your Incubators (to give more EHP) by reaching certain EggDex completion milestones. Either 95-100% regional completions, or total completion (50, 100, 250, 400, 600, 800). Charging: You’d be able to “charge” your Incubators in order to increase the rate of passive EHP gain. This’d mean interacting guarantees that your eggs will hatch faster, rather than relying on clickbacks. Option 1: Incubators can be charged using Powerorbs (from Interacting) to increase the rate of EHP gain for the next 24 hours. Example rates: Orbs | Rate (EHP/hr) L1: 0 | 780 L2: 1000 | 1200 L3: 2500 | 1620 L4: 5000 | 1980 L5: 10000 | 2820 L6: 25000 | 4020 L7: 50000 | 4980 L8: 100000 | 6000 [amounts would need to be multiples of 60 so the EHP could be added per minute] Powerorbs would retain their current purpose of giving EHP/EXP to eggs/pokemon. The difference is, using them to hatch eggs is instant gain, while using them to charge incubators is a passive gain. Warming eggs could give significantly more Powerorbs than training/feeding (2x more?). This’d incentivise egg interactions. Ever since Berries were transferrable from the Garden, more users have been mass clicking with Berries, and less users warming eggs via the online userlist. This is because Berries give more PD/GGC/Powerorbs, and are also incentivised during events. This is another reason why eggs are hatching slow. While this suggestion wouldn’t directly change that, it would it offset the effect of that update. Egg Incubators would not replace EHP earned from interactions; they are in addition to it. Passive EHP would provide a maximum time for eggs to be hatched; you can always interact more to get clickbacks to hatch eggs even faster. Pokémon GO’s egg incubators (sprite idea):

Originally thought this was only for Diaries, but it appears it’s the case for GTS as well, so I’d assume it’s the case for the entire forum. Is this intended? Either way, this could be an issue with spammers. (Unless there’s other limitations that I’m not aware of) Most people know that if you try to make a double post within 1 hour, it adds on to your previous post. I don’t think people have noticed this because they tend to make a post below that character count (e.g. “reserved” or “.”). [Read more] |

DW and Slots:
Common: Bug, Electric, Fighting, Flying, Grass, Ground, Normal, Poison, Rock, Water Uncommon: Dark, Fire, Ghost, Ice, Psychic, Steel Rare: Dragon, Fairy (yes, they’re actually equally rare) However, since some gems are more sought after due to Legend/SM hunts: Common: Fighting, Ground, Poison, Rock Semi-uncommon: Bug, Grass, Water Uncommon: Electric, Flying, Normal Semi-rare: Dark, Psychic, Steel Rare: Fire, Ghost, Ice Super Rare: Fairy Ultra Rare: Dragon (Bug cannot be obtained from Rumble, except Galar. Grass/Water for Starter SMs) Those in the same tiers above should be priced pretty similarly, but since this is PH, that isn’t the case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [Read more] |

There is currently the option for users to hide their signature on their own posts, or add spoiler tags to take up less space. But there is no option for readers to hide others’ signatures, or shorten the length of others' posts. EDIT 28/07/2025: After scrolling through 70 pages of the BBCode guide, this seems even more necessary for me. I noticed that while signatures have a limit on the space they can take up, the same does not apply for the forum posts themselves. Posts should also have a scrollbar when the content exceeds X lines/pixels. Signatures should be placed below, within the same scrollbar, not separately after. Regular 150x150 avatars don't take up much space. [Avatars with weird proportions take up space in forums, like they do in feeds, but that's a different issue] [A] Premium banners, however, can sometimes extend posts. Maybe the ONLINE bar could be changed to the PalPad online icon, and placed on the left of the Username. Then Premium banners wouldn't create a noticeable difference. OR, there could be a small star badge/icon representing their Premium status, placed on the left of the Trainer level. [B] Alternatively, the length of the sidebar (info + avatar + banner) determines the maximum length of the post before the scrollbar starts. This means Premium users would get a bit more space (which could be advertised as an additional Premium benefit). [Staff would also get more space, which is useful]. The signature would start at the end of the post, within the same scrollbar. [I'll try to add some visuals later.] Other options (if implementable with the current forum setup): - The 'maximum length before scrollbar' shouldn't apply to the first post in a thread - The max. length wouldn't apply to Moderator/Admin's posts, or certain threads such as Minor Updates. This could either be implemented as: - a permanent update for everyone, in the case of option [B] above - a setting that enables compact mode in all threads (as well as forum search and PMs) - a checkbox above each thread that (temporarily) enables compact mode in that thread/PM/search If the latter 2, I think it’d be best if both were implemented. Some users may want to selectively use compact mode (on in suggestions, off in forum games), so the checkbox for individual threads may suit them. Others may want to avoid long posts, or advertisements and/or GIFs in signatures, so an always-on option would work better. [Read more] |

Currently, the ‘Event Collector’ badge
requires you to collect 20 unique Wondercards. In 9 months, I only
have 8 different ones. It’d take around 2 years to get this
badge.
Options: - reduce the goal to 10 unique wondercards - change the goal to require total wondercards (not just unique ones), maybe 30 of them This way, you can actually work towards getting more cards (of the same event), rather than having to wait for events. - change the goal to a certain number of Emera dex entries, maybe 50/100. Issue with this is it’d make wondercards completely useless, and may also increase the value of events (as more people are buying them). [Read more] |

The total number of interactions made generally depends on whether there's an incentive to interact (an Event), and the number of active users (online within 24 hours), which depends on the time of the year - holiday seasons generally mean more active users. If one month has high goals (140k), then we may not reach the goals. The system lowers the goals significantly (80k), and we end up reaching them. So the system increases the goals drastically again. It’s just an endless cycle - reach goals, fail to reach, reach goals, fail to reach... Either - the goals should be the same each month. This may need to be reviewed (and adjusted) every 6 months/1 year. Or - the current system should be improved so that the goals do not drastically change from month to month - it only changes by 5k-20k or so. Another option is to base the goals on the previous day's interactions. [Read more] |

@Riako: Disabling images isn’t possible on some mobile devices/browsers (including iPhones - Safari and Chrome), so that isn’t really an option. I usually get an average of 100-120 clicks per minute, but when I was visiting Singapore, I was able to get 180 in 30 seconds; 360 per minute. That’s over 3x faster. Other features with reloads: - Hangman - Bulletin Board remove tasks - Golden Slot - DW tasks claim - Use/Give item A multi-select or amount-select would work better here, but they also have reloads: - DW send a plushie - Set up WT EDIT 16/06/2025: I think the issue with interaction speed is due to the way the system works. I know that a clicklist generates a group of X pokemon at once, so generating pokemon isn't really an issue. I assume that'd mean images don't slow it down much either. I'm pretty sure upon clicking the train/warm/berry button, your device sends a request to the server to increase EHP/EXP of the pokemon, as well as reward PD/GGC/powerorbs to you. "The Pokémon grew by 1,999 Exp. Points. You have interacted with 63 Adopts in a row. +4" ^ Assuming so because the page displays this upon each interaction. I'm pretty sure PFQ generates 10 parties or a field at once, so PH is pretty similar on that front. However, I think PFQ gives you the next pokemon/egg to interact with before the request is sent. So the information is stored user-side for a while [until you stop interacting], before sending to the server; rather than sending the information upon each individual interaction. "Interactions: 5(+40) sent / 0 received" So, instead of trying to reduce images, improving the way information is sent between device and server may be better. [Read more] |

[2000 users online per day in 2017; more in earlier years] Even if you’re online most of the day, eggs are hatching painfully slow. (partly due to berries being optimised over egg warming). I don’t know what the interaction stats/data is like, but I believe a 50% buff is necessary [EHP/EXP gained would be 1.5x the current amount]. Could be higher/lower if needed. During some times of the day, without flutes/Premium, an egg only gains 60 EHP. That is ridiculously low, if you only get 100-200 interactions in a day. 6000-12000 EHP in 24 hours, depending on whether users interact or not (which depends on whether there’s an event). To balance this, EHP/EXP gained during events could be lower. But I feel that’s counterintuitive - the purpose of events is to encourage excitement/activity. [I haven’t mentioned Pokemon levelling up slow, but that’s not really noticeable - with the exception of Rowan Quests. But if EHP is buffed, then it would be logical to also boost EXP.] [Read more] |

Wiki states: “Pancham evolves into Pangoro starting at level 32 if there is another Dark-type Pokémon in the user's party.” I was looking through my Pokedex, and Kalos was only at 116/117. Turns out I am missing Pancham. I’ve had it in my storage boxes ever since I hatched it, and went on to achieve 100% Kalos completion. It’s never been in my Party (apart from when it was an egg). Currently level 36 Pangoro in question; must’ve evolved at level 32 a couple days back. Don’t have any spare Pancham right now, but I can test it (with screenshots) once I get a second [first is for dex]. Edit: did some testing - wiki is a bit misleading Level 31 Pancham evolved when user had a Crawdaunt (dark type) in their party. The Pancham itself doesn't need to be in the party. I assume this'd apply to Mantyke too. (will test it later) Edit 2: Not the case with Mantyke; it needs to be in the party. See [Bugs/Complaints] PH Wiki to correct current evolution requirements.
