Presenting,

The Retro Shop!


Why this idea?

Well, I came with this idea as some Retro(s) like Retro Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, etc. which were available earlier in Retro Radar, are not available now and there is a serious need for them that you can see by their demands.

What is this shop?

To avoid and to give relief to all the users who need those unavailable & unobtainable Retro(s), I came with this suggestion as the title says, the Retro Shop, here is the idea of how it will look like.


A shop where all the current unavailable & unobtainable Retro(s) will be present for the exchange.
They can be exchanged with the Retro Tokens.
The Retro tokens can be obtained through finding them in Mystery Boxes, by Golden Slot, maybe finding them in Rumbles or maybe by various other means.
Or by exchanging them with Nuggets. According to me the rate of exchange with nuggets for Retro Tokens should be 1 Nugget is to 10 Tokens. The price can be different.

-BENEFITS-
This shop will help to make users to get those Retro(s) which they need seriously.
This Shop will avoid the crazy price rise of them. And also it will help to keep the Price Value of these Retro(s).
The idea of collecting tokens maybe fun and challenging while doing tasks... :D

Retro Pokemons Token Exchange Prices: (just an example)

The Token exchange rates for Retro Mons are listed below: (RT = Retro Tokens)(They may not be correct or actual, as this is just an idea, i.e., example for the rates.)
-Starters-
Retro Venusaur = 3000 RT
Retro Charizard = 3000 RT
Retro Blastoise = 3000 RT

Retro Meganium = 3000 RT
Retro Feraligatr = 3000 RT
Retro Typhlosion = 3000 RT
-Legends-

Retro Moltres = 8000 RT
Retro Articuno = 8000 RT
Retro Zapdos = 8000 RT
[Some Retro(s) here, maybe missing which are unobtainable. They would be added.]

As Retro(s) have so much chances of being shiny, so while buying these Retro(s) there maybe some chances that they will be shiny.

This would be an AWESOME addition! Full support from me! :D
They'd still be very special, as it sounds like the tokens would be hard to come by, but they'd be available.

This would be a great addition to Pokeheroes!

Problem is that it would be weird if you get the retro Starters when their fully evolved, and it would make retro vouchers useless, maybe, instead of buying the Pokémon, you get it as a voucher to redeem at the Game Center, and that could be a possible task at the dream shop-buy a Retro voucher from the Retro shop | REWARD : (at 0 stars)6

Edit: Okay, I thought that they can evolve(eg. Retro Charmander ———> Retro Charizard)

@Yvelette the retro starters in the game center can't evolve. That's why the fully evolved retros are so sought after.

The Retro(s) which are unobtainable currently will come in this shop. The basic stage retro starters can be obtained by Concentration game to get a retro egg or by buying a premium month to get a retro starter basic stage voucher.
Ahh, and also, they dont evolve. :P
You can read more about them from here.

Well, I kinda don’t mind this suggestion, given that the tokens will be hard to get. However, I feel that 500 tokens for a retro would be a tad low. since it has a chance to be shiny, like a 1/50 chance, the price should be really high, like, i dunno, 3000 points for a retro charizard? This way, it’s 300 nuggets for a retro, instead of a mere 50 nuggets, which I feel would damage the price of retros.

TBH i am meh whit this, i agree that unobtainable retros should be released again but i fell this would be like SCS, i think it would be better a new feature like a minigame for obtaining them

The minigame which was Retro Radar was replaced by the Shadow Radar. So, Retro Radar cant be back. Even, just for these small amount of Retro(s) there would be a Hard Coding for making minigames.

No support from me, actually.

Tbh, I never thought there was a 'serious need' for the retro starters. Retros as a whole kinda always just struck me a cool collectable thing. Also, this process seems incredibly tedious, and giving me event shop/SCS vibes, which seem to be money/time drainers from my experience. I can see why people would want this, but I personally don't see all the hype for the retro starters. This isn't something I would use. Like, I get they are rare or whatever, but a dated looking charizard isn't really worth the effort imo

No support

There really is no use for retros, other than collecting
Having a shop for them would decrease their value
Also, this would lead to easily obtainable shiny mega ables
[Which can't mega evolve, because of its retro, but still

Sure, I understand that newer members can't obtain them except by trading
But there isn't really a use for them
keep livin'. keep dreamin'.

Just to keep their value, the token exchange price will be adjusted according to their rarity & value, as already said.
And this shop will be for all the incoming future retro(s) too, so this might be helpful. 🙂

no support sadly.
id prefer if the retros and shiny retros were made available more on luck basis then on grind.

I was thinking how about a kind of rumble mission where we can recruit retros by a small chance, with a very small chance of them being shiny.
the gasty line can stay a Halloween thing. the johto starters can be from burned tower. While kanto birds and kanto starters can be from a new rumble mission.

Yea, as Yvelette said, it would make retro tickets useless, just it would be hard to exchange them, as they are quite hard to get nower days, so I suggest maybe some quests on the bottom that give you retro tokens so it doesn't make it hard to afford a retro. (I totally forgot retros don't evolve)
