I've come up with a unique suggestion, this time, ESS! ESS Stands for 'Emera Space Station'. This suggestion is inspired from the 'Meteor Showers' weather in Emera Town.

Quote

After lots of years of research in space, the city of Emera has it's own Space Station! It is open to trainers from near and far to spot the glorious environment of space.

I suggest that ESS exist in the form of a minigame to earn Items, Maps and space related Pokemon!
The game structure is to be rather like minesweeper game with different space backgrounds There are many different 'areas' (playing grounds) with different prices. To give a rough idea of how I want it to look, I'll post a screenshot from a very popular past feature.... and also of how I want the game to look.

1. The gaming screen (borrowed from www.codeproject.com) (EXAMPLE))


2. Suppose I click on a block, and that block contains a dratini, an image like this will appear


The game structure-:
In each gaming 'area', we need to choose any ten blocks. If we are lucky, a block may
contain a price, which may be a space-related Pokemon, some item, or some Cosmos*. Each area will have a 'boss' item, which may be a space-related Map, or a summon item. Note that the Pokemon will need to be captured with a pokeball, just like the honeytree. If we do not want the Pokemon, we have the option to send it back**.

There are different levels of areas. Once we explore some levels, we can unlock the next one. A higher level has more chances of obtaining a price.

Space Suits
"Hey Trainer! Before paying the fees and exploring the ESS, you need a Space suit! Space suits can be found rarely from mystery boxes!"

Cosmos
Cosmos are the space currency. I plan to get in a NCP, which keeps with her some items and Pokemon, which she changes everyday, to sell for some Cosmos. She may give the user a random quest which may reward in a special retro (I vote for retro dratini)

Note-: I will develop this suggestion further as I get time, and you are encouraged to post any add-ons or opinions.

Meteor Shower Phenomenon
I'm thinking up that the chance of finding rewards would be more when there is Meteor Shower in Emera Town.

List of things found from different areas (Subject to change as users express their opinions)
I. Normal Items


II. Boss (Highest level) items


*Cosmos is the name I came up with, but PH community is free to choose another name.
**Releasing may be optional, again to the convenience to the PH community.

Thanks!

EDITS
I forgot to add it at first, I suggest that there is a entry fee for every time we take an ESS mission. The cost will increase at every level. I suggest 5k Pd for the first level.

Added "Items list" and "Space Suits"

Added 'Meteor Shower Phenomenon'.

I really wouldn't use this. I like the existing Shiny Hunting method for the Shiny Hunting thing. And there aren't many space-related Pokemon, but you can get them from the lab, AH, GTS, or Rumbling. Also, Maps should stay in the Mystery Boxes only, and Items... uh, I think Items can stay where they are.

---

I'm not saying that the manner of shiny hunting to open again. I was looking about for anything that may be most relevant to the mini game, and the Shiny Radar thingy looked nicest for the purpose.

Bump!

I support this
But emera beach let it come then let riako see this thread!:S

Added "Items List" and "Space Suits"

Cool, part of it should be implemented!

What should you change:

1.Maps and summon items were always found in the boxes, so it should stay like that, because being able to find them in space too would increase chance of their finding (they're supposed to be really hard to find since legends are rare!)
2.Shiny hunt fee should be bigger, 100 PD is not enough for being able even to find a shiny mew

---

My suggestion IsN't about shiny hunting. I used that image to show what will happen if we click the correct block. For example. I clicked a block in the minigame. It contained a dratini. So the screen will change to the second image, and will say" A wild Dratini appeared" (or similar).

(Cropped the image a bit)

---

No support. There has already been suggested something similiar to this about the Sinnoh Underground, lemme find it real quick.

Plus, theres no much space pokemon.

---

I guess, regarding the Sinnoh underground...
1. This is totally different from that.
2. I highly doubt that the Sinnoh suggestion involves games and currencies like that.


And I suggested MORE prices than just Pokemon.

No support. If you have Deoxys, you can already "explore" space via the rumble area. Grant it, I think some tweaks should be made to the rumble thing (Such as the possibility of being able to find more than one item, but only one meteorite per trip. I mean, seriously, 1 week rumbles and usually my Deoxys finds an item on day 1, then can't find anything else. That seems illogical!)

But I do not think a new feature needs to be added for space.

Edit:
Actually the sinnoh underground does involve games, currency, items, and other things. It was a well developed suggestion from a while back.

Edit again:

Quote from Navuso

I agree with Diana... The Royal Tunnel is a quiz type thing where as this is a mini-game like minesweeper where you might get a prize at the end of it if you're able to dig it up. One challenges you with facts of all pokémon and gives you the chance to find gems. The other one [this suggestion] is more relaxing and calculating while trying to find items. [again, think minesweeper]


It's like the treasure game in the game center, but with more squares on the grid and with a variety of rewards to be dug up. [And multiple turns instead of hit or miss with 8/9 chance to miss]

A list of possible items could be:
PD [or another ancient form of currency that can be sold for PD]
Relics [instead of PD, for an option]
Gems [you can find gems in mines irl]
Fossils
Ancient Boxes and Keys? [would be a new item where the boxes are only found in mining, while the keys can be found in mining or through Rumble Missions]
Vitamins?
Star Pieces?
Explorer Bags?
Pokéball ?
Greatball ?
Ultraball ?



The Explorer Kit would be an item that could be added to the shop. Greg could be the NPC in charge of this feature (as well as the Gem Collector features) and you could pay him for every trip into the underground that you get to take. (I vote for a PD price for this, much like the Royal Tunnels. Maybe have different levels with chances at finding different things? The rarer stuff being more costly at a chance at it, though you might still get nothing as well.)



Okay, I think I've put too much energy into this post for something that I'm doubtful will come to light XD And I think I haven't explained it as well as it could have been explained.

---

I didn't know that such a thing was suggested before... But has it any chances of being implemented after the rumble areas?

---

Support, i think this is a cool and original idea
