Category 5 Hurricane Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 No, not that bad. Just really unfortunate moveset. Everyone on my roster has a really unfortunate moveset, which I only hope can be fixed by leveling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Jeod, can you state your case on Shade? He's probably my number #1 suspect, too, but I feel like I've lost your reasoning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 6 hours ago, OrangeP47 said: Okay, how does everyone feel about this solution to the level problem: When a pokemon faints, you get half its levels to distribute to other pokemon. So for a level 10, you'd get 5, a level 20, 10, etc. You can break up these levels however you want across pokemon too, so say you had 10 to distribute, you could send 5 one way and 5 another. The level cap would still be 50, but you'd also still need to reach an "effective" 60 to evolve twice, for pokemon that do so. I'll also publicly reveal that every 10 levels is what gives you a chance to learn a new level up move. How do we feel about this? If the change is made, Jeod would retroactively have 5 levels to distribute. I kinda feel like this is too powerful. I prospective person with a level 50 who loses could get a level 10 up to 45 in one night. I think this would make putting all your coins into one pokemon the only way to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeP47 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Eh, there might be more alternatives that don't involve levels. If everyone's willing to table the level issue I can investigate other non-level solutions and have something worked up by D3 start, though the caveat there might be that said change would be a secret perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with that point in making it the most effective strategy. But it's mainly about reducing the amount of time it takes to create a viable build after you've lost a Pokémon and have to replace it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably my number #1 suspect, too, but I feel like I've lost your reasoning. His assumptions on D1 made him seem like he knew more than he should. He hasn't seemed concerned about how he looks in the eyes of other players, which tells me he's more concerned worried about being able to hold his own...which leads us into his complaints today regarding the proposed changes to the system in place. It's the same kind of behavior I witnessed in PokeMafia 1. He's not town. May not be Rocket either, but he's definitely not town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade939 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Otherwise you run into situations where a player has basically been sidelined after a single bad matchup. Which reduces a players ability to engage in the game if they can't battle for a couple of days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retaliation Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Do the effects of level differences start to even out as you get higher in levels? By which I mean is the difference between level 50 vs 60 as extreme as level 10 vs 20? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 If you put all your eggs in one basket and drop the basket, you better expect to not be able to get back in the game right away. A one night turnaround resulting in a 5 level deficit is too much. I do think that this game could have been designed to allow us more freedom to develop our rosters, but I don't think someone should be able to come back in one night. If you do want that to be possible, then we shouldn't have had levels to begin with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take yesterday's investigation for example. It wasn't just that Jeod was 10 and Psyduck was 30.... Pyduck had Hydro Cannon, which is a power 120 move with STAB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeod Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Could force level distribution, so if you get 10 levels from a loss, you have to split them between 2 Pokemon. Therefore, even if you only have one "life" left, you're still not fully prepared to make a comeback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only worried about Rocket winning a fight, so unless they're actaully willing to fight each other despite the fact they should be outnumbered by Town... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 What if it was half minus 10? Afterall, we're trying to make up for wasted training, but everyone started at level 10. So a 50 loser could only get back to 35 in one night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, still makes training pokemon even more of a no brainer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
