(Sorry, I seem to have missed your posts, which is why I haven't addressed them)
Carpet, I understand where you're coming from. If it was just megas being very difficult and nothing else like legendaries, I would agree. I think people these days are thinking too much of megas. They are inferior to legendaries, yet hunting legendaries is easier. Honestly, I am beginning to think they're value should be lowered more than I thought before. Let's do this as an example. Say it takes 4 months to hunt one shiny mega at the moment, which I believe is less than the average mega hunt time period. Excluding legends, that is 168 months. Divide that by 12, you would need to spend a solid 14 years hunting them. And that's not even factoring in both Mega Mewtwo, or instances of daycare droughts/gem droughts, EHP, and tall grass. If one were aiming for completion, you'd have to factor in the rest of the 721 Pokemon, including legends and unhuntable legends. Don't you think this is too much?
As for that second part, I'd much rather let my efforts be in vain to throw away what I've done so far in the hunt and to have a much easier time getting what I'd like than to spend another X amount of months trying to get it. But that's just me personally.

That's some of the point, actually, to make them lose more rarity. They don't need this much rarity.

Maybe Mega Extension in the Pokeradar is in the another section and it'll be needing more electric gems, PDs or other.

I have a question, is this just for shiny megas or can the chain stop at a mega able too?

Quote from First post
A shiny mega chain is, in fact, looking for a shiny mega. Therefore, non-mega shinies and non-shiny megas stay at the same chances as they would if you weren't chaining at all.


-I would like to add Karp that you should probably bold this part. It is kinda drowned out by all the other text in your suggestion, and its the one we keep asking about

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

I've broken down the main post into different sections. I apologize for my lack of organization with the main post, but now everything should be easier to read.

If the Shiny and Mega chances stay the same, how is the Shiny Mega chance bigger? I agree with the Mega radar part, considering a Mega would still be around 2-3 times harder to obtain than a Shiny (yes they're worth more and harder to get than Legendaries but, because they're mega-able on PH that's just logical) but Shiny Mega around chain 500? It's a Shiny Mega. It's supposed to be very hard to get. Chain 500 on a Pokemon like Ralts, Weedle or Pidgey is just too easy for a Shiny Mega. People who didn't get their Shiny Mega randomly (no premium, chain 36 as the second Audino etc.) worked hard for those and got themat a really high chain, so that'd be unfair too. Excuse me if this was already stated, no support.

The shiny mega chance is bigger because the chances of the Pokemon being both shiny and mega are higher. I don't understand why it's supposed to be hard to get. It's never been justified why, people simply say "because it just is", which makes no sense. Everyone keeps saying "it'll be too easy", but did you even look at the amount of problems our current mega system brings? It's ridiculous. I think you, like most people, are overestimating how valuable shiny megas and even regular megas should be.

Also, it's obvious even without this that shiny mega Pidgey, Weedle, etc. will be more common than, say, shiny mega Aggron.

No, I'm sure Shiny Mega Aggron would be the same, if it only takes 500 eggs. Shiny Mega Metagross, Salamence, all of them, it's not so hard to get to chain 500. "Because it just is" is a good reason, we're not in politics, it's just a Pokemon website. Why are Shinies supposed to be harder to obtain than normal Pokemon? Just because they are. They aren't better in any way, they're just diferent in coloration. A very small change, at some species as Pikachu or Gengar.

It doesn't have to be chain 500. You seem to be extremely fixated on the chain numbers. Do you want 1,000 instead? 1,250? There's also the fact that each time you want to shiny mega chain you'd have to give a large amount of gems and/or PD. I feel very strongly about this suggestion and would like to have it fit in as many user's likes as possible without taking a "no". Furthermore, the chain 500 thing was just put there because I don't know the actual chances. There'd be bad chains, too, like ones exceeding 1,000, and early chains, like at 250. You'll still need that luck aspect.

Doing some math, implying that the chance of getting a mega-able is around %0.4 (I hatched over 2000 houndour eggs and I got 7 or 8 mega-ables) and the chance of getting a shiny factoring the shiny charm is %2.75, the chances of getting a shiny mega at chain 2500 is %27,5. That means that at chain 5000, the chances are around %55. However, this is false, because most chains ends a lot sooner than chain 5000. What does that mean? That probably, shiny pokemon have a higher chance of being mega and vice versa.

support I just got the charmander from prof. rowan

because megas are impossible and mega stone + mega-able...WHY RIAKOOO ;-;

but I think should't be for premium users only, like, most of the important features comes from premium, starting to think that just premius would be able to play this game.

What features?

Pokeheroes is one of the few sites where you DONT need real currency to get a pokeradar - its pd.

The benefits I get with premium are that my chain doesnt break if I hatch a shiny (still breaks in all other circumstances) and I dont have to spend 50k on a new battery for every hunt. My shiny chance is a tiny bit higher...I get a little more exp when people click me (I also have the flute though) and my daycare iz supposed to make more eggs (very debatable doesnt happen)

The only premium advantage I see being added here is the chain not breaking - which is a perfectly okay compromise since we can only use one radar at once

Title: You want to...

...lower the rates of shiny megas/ megas by 60%?

Let me get this straight- Moltres was worth more than 3 million when it was really rare, now, at this point of time, there are exactly 535 Moltres on the site which lowered its price by 700k.

This was the case of a legendary which is obtainable only through the lab/gem collector.

Now, you want to make shiny megas (even a shiny mega gyarados is worth 2 milion[according to a reply on price check]) easier and lowering them by about 300k?

Whatever be the pd cost, people like Ecco and Jackal have 100 million+ pd, so it will only be a walk in the park for them, won't it be?

You haven't thought it through.
