I've noticed that at least one person on here has complained about their Pokemon in boxes evolving. And it just came to me about what might be possible. I was thinking about something like the Egg things in the box section. If you had a box with less amount of spaces than a normal box, that can't be interacted with, then maybe it will work. It can cost a lot to buy too many Everstones, and this would allow multiple Pokemon not to be interacted with. The drawback would be that you yourself couldn't interact with them, but if you truly go so far as to put any Pokemon in there, you might not think it's so bad. It allows some people to be appeased, and it still makes it so that most Pokemon are able to be interacted with. Some will say "It doesn't really cost much to buy Everstones, though." Which I have to say that's wrong. If they aren't on sale, then they cost a lot for mass amounts. I've started to give Everstones to Pokemon, and it gets kinda annoying when I forget to put Pokemon in there. It also gives time to people who want to put them in there temorarily. Say that the Everstones get bought out (which I've never seen myself, I don't think), or the person has to go, but their Pokemon is close to evolving and they don't want that. They could temporarily put the Pokemon in the box, and when they return they can give them an Everstone. Lastly, it would be useful if you want one of your Pokemon to be stronger than another. I find that I want some of my newer Pokemon to be the same level area as the ones that are older. This would not only allow those Pokemon to level up when the other isn't, but it also could possibly mean more Mass-Clicks. I know that I personally do a lot of Mass-Clicking, and when that person has a million (not literal) Pokemon it takes a lot of time, and it gets me exhausted. They might want to click shorter lists, or they might want to Mass-Click more people, which would both lead to more clicking of Pokemon. Thanks for reading, and I hope you like the idea.

(Also, yes I'm aware that this is an interacting game, which is why I said that it could have less space.)

@blizzardkitty, I already stated above why not. (Sorry if this comes out as rude, I'm in a bad mood, and I have a bad way of words when that happens.) Also, the Box idea would make it so that if there were to be a locking option with any Pokemon, it wouldn't make the Pokemon's page any more complicated, but instead it would just show up in the Boxes area, where you can buy and upgrade boxes.

@Nessy, I didn't know it had been suggested. I don't remember ever seeing it when I went through the rejected or the other suggestions catigories. Must have missed it. The less space would probably be about 50, because as I said it would be best used for everyone as a box to temporarily place a Pokemon. I don't know the exact amount, but definetly half of a regular box has to begin with. It would probably cost about 10,000 to 20,000 if I had any say in it, but that also kind of depends on what is talked about here. If it gets so that other things might happen, (ie. less space, more space, I know I thought about adding a possible time limit to the amount of time Pokemon can be in the box, etc.) then the thought of price could easily change.

No support. Firstly this has been kind of suggested here and rejected. However, this is slightly different so I wont move it.

You mentioned that a box for 50 pokemon would cost 10,000 to 20,000. That already makes it more expensive than buying everstones? ^^ An everstone costs 200 pd (if I remember correctly) when not on sale. 200 x 50 = 10,000 so anything higher than 10,000 makes it more expensive. Keep in mind that normally, buying a second box/expanding a box costs even more. So your suggestion would just make things more and more expensive.

Instead, it would be much easier just to mass buy everstones when there is a sale on them.

Although, I'm pretty sure, like Nessy said, this has already been suggested. But, I can't seem to find it.

@SilverStar, I said that I didn't know exactly how much it would probably cost, and I'm bad a pricing things. That's shown in my cheap Berry Market prices, so I wouldn't know how to price it well. That's why if this would get accepting, then I probably wouldn't have anything to say about the price. I just came up with some numbers in my head, and only suggested those because I know a lot of things are really expensive. In actuality if this ever gets accepted, which is already in low chances, then it would probably be cheaper. I also find that buying a bunch of Everstones and having to singularly place Everstones on them while I'm trying to find a place to put them can be rather tedious, and I enjoy doing Mass-Click lists, but it subtracts time in which I could've been using to get Pokedollars, go to the Berry Garden, go fishing at the beach, etc. Also, I haven't seen the Everstones on sale for a while. If I need to elaborate on anything I said in this singular post (right here, not any of my ones I've said before) please tell me, because it's hard to explain in some ways.

Also, if everyone started to choose to put their pokemon into non interaction boxes that are quite cheap... the amount of clickable pokemon would massively decrease ^^ Which would ruin the whole point of Pokeheroes: to click.

As for the sale of everstones, just watch out for it :) I usually buy around 50 each time to make sure of the sale ^^

Not everyone would put them in there. I might be a weird autistic kid, but I'm pretty sure that many people I know on here, and I myself would love to have really high level Pokemon which is achieved by interacting. There's just some Pokemon that you have little time in between evolutions to buy the stones. This would allow you to place Pokemon in there when you don't have time, and things like that. I also mentioned in one of my comments above that I thought about mentioning a time limit, but this is what I didn't say: If people really think that it undermines the point of this awesome website, to click, then you could put a time-limit on it. It would make sense to have it cheap if there's a time-limit on how long a Pokemon can be in it, and if it holds less Pokemon than other boxes it also just adds to why a decently cheap price would work. It's a thought in process, though, which is a reason why I didn't mention it in my original suggestion even though I thought about it.

I can see where you're coming from, but if you want to complete your dexes, you should be willing to put a lot of time, effort and money into it. It's no simple achievement, and is not meant to be completed easily. I believe that the requirement of Everstones just adds another layer of time, effort and money required to complete your dexes.

@Pancake, you're making sense, and I understand where you're coming for, I believe that that is how it should be played, with commitment and everything that comes with commitment, but I also have mentioned that there could be a time limit, which I was thinking maybe it being anywhere from 3 days to a week, and if the Pokemon isn't moved by the owner by then, it just gets moved back to the first available box, in which case, others can still click it, and it doesn't really effect it much. Also, if the person is truly committed, then there shouldn't be any issues. If they have a very specific reason that it was placed there, and they keep running out of time for it to be there, then they obviously are committed to spending time on this website, and they also must have very strong reasons for wanting that Pokemon there. The Everstones would still be useful, and it would make sense to use them all the same. And there could be uses for putting a Pokemon in there that has an Everstone. One, I believed I mentioned it, is if you want your other Pokemon to catch up with it in level. Another would be if you're running out of space in boxes, and need to rearrange, but say that takes days, and you need to go find a specific Pokemon (say to talk about it, and you want proof that it exists, or something along those lines), you'd be able to find it without having to search everywhere, because you would likely remember if you had a Pokemon in that box. Does that make sense, or do I need to re-explain, or elaborate? I have to do that all the time in real life, so I can try to explain it another way if you don't understand what I'm getting at with this comment/post.

Could it be you're thinking of this suggestion? =3

Yours allows for more pokémon and there's a difference in price which you told us to ignore but the essence (putting away pokémon so they can't be interacted with) is the same, so I'll be giving you the time to check it out and comment, before I'll probably lock this.

(Also, if the boxes would work as I understand they'd work, your suggestion would be helping scammers a lot, so I definitely don't support this as it is; the only method to make pokémon unclickable is make them "disappear" so they don't show up in your boxes or in your clicklist. This way, scammers would be able to hide their scammed pokémon and we'd have no way of knowing this for sure)

(Also also, you'd only need 61600 PD to give all pokémon who need it an everstone. And if you want to "even out" the levels, throw the lower-leveled one in the DayCare and keep the higher-leveled one away from your party; they'll be caught up in no time :) )

Okay, I understand what you mean about the scammers, so that makes sense. Yeah, you have a point with the scammers bit, but I will say it's definitely different than what that person has. Mine is probably different, though, because it's thought up by someone who has different types of brain functions for what I do, and why I do them. But honestly, if this would be a risk for scammers, I'd rather not have it. After all, as an honest player who couldn't do anything against the rules without wishing I wasn't alive, and knowing I was doing something wrong, I guess it makes more sense for the good of all honest players not to have it.
