Your proof of Psychic gems I am working on the other's. (Within 2,000 GGC)

It is fuxed as before this update I had 50,000 GGC I didn't once hit any other gems or Dragon/Fairy besides

-Bug Gems -Poison Gems
-Ground Gems -Fighting Gems
-Rock Gems -Electric Gems
-Normal Gems -Water Gems
-Grass Gems -Flying Gems


As you stated but the other ones
-Fire Gems
-Ice Gems
-Ghost Gems
-Psychic Gems
-Dark Gems
Are Uncommon - rare which means they are still /harder/ to obtain than the normal lot we have seen over the last 2 years at least.

Dragon/ Fairy are even harder than those above so to say you got dragon within the first 10,000 GGC is amazing.

Just because you can't see the results in so little doesn't mean the code isn't there.

Allright, good job mate. (Y)

But still if these 5 types of gems (except dragon/fairy) are this rare that I won't get a single one in 4k chips... I am sorry but that is really bad game design lol.

It's acutally to keep the price of those gems high ^^

It's good game design because things need to be 'rarer' than others. And if a rapid incease of that 'rare' thing will rapidly break the ecomony on PH and the prices will drop. if kept rare the prices stay the same.

No it is not, the most valuable gem after Dragon/Fairy is the normal gem and you get this easy peasy in the golden slot.
Making Fire gem and ice gem this rare is just bad desgin.
There is not even a smart reason why these are considered more rare in the slot machine.
All those rare gems are considered common in price check anyway, so what are you even talking about? :/
Making gems which are not fairy or dragon rare is dumb anyway cause you need tons of these for specific hunts.

They care considered 'common' Becuase you get get them from rumbling While Dragon you can not.

It took me 6k To get 1 Psychic gem slot. As meanwhile you just got incredibly lucky and get dragon gem the first time. As where I have not.

I have actually spent 10k since the update and that is the only 'new' slot I have had. I haven't recieved any dragon gems at all.

The slots are all luck you could get 10 dragon gems or 10 pokeballs in 2 slots.

So this is good design. - Luck factor. and think of it you have your common uncommon and rare ones. Which every time you land on the slots you can get into one of those sections, as where luck will decide if it's 1/2/3.

Calling RNG good design is never a good idea. lmao

But sure whatever if you think it is ok to "waste" 6k chips to get one psychic gem and many of the ones you could obtain before with no problem, enjoy yourself.
Meanwhile I will try to convince Riako to make all gems except dragon/fairy the same chance to appear in golden slot, because that is what people wanted in the first place. (Y)

I'm pretty sure if the people had their way, they'd hope that the dragon and fairy gems would be equivalent odds to all the other gems (all the while the price maintaining an unfairly high amount so people have their proverbial cake and eating it too sort of thing). But usefulness dictates otherwise, regardless of how you slice it.

Ditto requires the greatest amount for gathering an egg at 10k normal gems.
All the Kanto birds require a greater number of gems based on their type.
All three Kalos legends require a number of dragon gems, with Zygarde requiring Fairy gems.
- Additionally, depending on your randomized gem amounts, you may be required to gather other greater-value gems for these legends, such as psychic, electric, fire, ice, etc.

The rest are simply fodder for mega stones or other lesser pokemon egg hunts.

@WingedGolem

Well, obviously we cannot allow to make dragon gems and fairy gems a common ressource, even tho there are some really stupid decission on this site incuding those.
It is basically the biggest loss someone could imagine to gem hunt a fairy/dragon Pokemon, which is not a legendary. What was Riako thinking?
60x Dragon Gems for one Bagon egg :´D How about NO.

All I ask for is making all other gems a common ressource on all gem farming aspects.
- Rumble [check]
- Royal Tunnel [check]
- Boxes [check]
- Golden Slot [x]

Your examples for the use of common and uncommon gems are flawed too.
Zapdos needs flying gems and electric gems, both are easily obtainable in Golden slot which makes these less valuable in the process, but still they are valuable as **** cause Zapdos needs them. The system is flawed at this point, why would Zapdos be more easy to hunt than Articuno and Moltres?

This whole gem market is a mess. :D
