The Retro Shop
Forum-Index → Suggestions → The Retro Shopif you personally don't care much for retros then that's fine, but in my opinion entirely unobtainable pokemon shouldn't exist; it's just not fair at all to people who started after they became unobtainable
(this isn't even about prices of pokemon, because people also won't really sell unbreedable unobtainable pokemon that much unless they somehow got plenty of them when they were available, and even if, it wouldn't be enough for everyone on this site to get one as far as i know (and even if, eventually people would run out of those unobtainable unbreedable mons anyways cause new people signed up for the site)
so it just really isn't fair to have unobtainable pokemon)
old event mons are also obtainable for new users eventually via event shop (or people breeding them)
(fyi retro starters can't evolve, so the retro starter tickets would not become useless if the evolutions were made obtainable again, as was mentioned above)
What's that Pride Flag? (with gem prizes)
train my friends?
i obviously do unreturned favours
It’s not fair that only ppl who were on ph when the retro radar was introduced can have those retros
Agreed. The Retro Radar retros should be made available somehow. It's been quite a while since they were obtainable and it's a bummer for there to be pokemon that users who joined after they were first released can't get with their with their own OT. I'm not sure if a shop is the most fun or interesting way to make them available again but it'd be better than nothing.
This, I disagree with. The retro girafarif and marill do have their own way of being obtainable. It's not often, but the Berry Battles are recurring events and there's no reason to make those events less relevant or near obsolete by making the prizes easily available throughout the year.
Same goes for the haunter and gengar. As much as the evil RNG of the retro gengar has irked me, I'd say it's pretty clear now that they have a thematically appropriate home in the Halloween event.
So, in conclusion, I think I have to vote no support as long as the Berry Battle and Halloween retros are included in the suggestion.
2) Retro prices will go low.
So I'm in the middle..
(retros can't evolve, so a retro starter egg voucher can never give you a charizard)
this suggestion specifically is about completely unobtainable pokemon
