I'm not even really sure he changes how he plays. He's always fishing and always making assumptions that make him look like he knows things he shouldn't. It does help that my assumptions do tend to actually be correct, such as what happened to Jeod when he went to investigate. 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 An idea I considered for the training situation, is a sort of auto-balance effect, where if a player has lost a pokemon, they get extra training for free to help them get their remaining roster back up to speed quicker. Maybe limit the extra training to the number of training sessions the fallen pokemon had taken. Still no more than 10 levels per pokemon per night, though. Putting all eggs in one basket should still hurt. Allowing us to just spend multiple coins on training might work, too, but I suspect that might cause issues for how Orange balanced the NPCs against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've called it the Exp Share plan. There are still a few speedbumps and stuff though so I've not settled on anything just yet. My self imposed deadline is hammer tomorrow, so there's plenty of time. I'll probably brainstorm in the shower later or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the word is called balance changes, which quite clearly do effect decision making. If there's less of a penalty to losing a level 20 Pokemon, then one would be more willing to actually risk that Pokemon today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you live, for now TBH I don't really fish either, and when I do, I'm typically looking for shiny magikarp (I have great luck with it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught a shiny magikarp the day after I decided to upload Crystal's red Gyrados to my pokemon bank, figuring even if it's the only story shiny, it still counts as a shiny. It was the first ever shiny I got legitimately, after years of play, and I feel as if my luck was wasted on getting a duplicate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shade939 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 In Jeod's case, if he loses two Pokemon he has to watch out for any sort of surprise attack. But when you're sitting at three Pokemon on the other hand, and there's such a large aware for winning... Regardless of your alignment, it should be in anyone's best interest to actually try to win a battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first was from the egg in crystal that has a high chance of being a shiny (tyrogue). I don't think I really understood what happened other than it was blue. I believe my first randomly found shiny was wingull in sapphire. Again didn't really understand importance. Then my friend roped me into shiny hunting around ORAS. 12 minutes ago, Sunflower said: Not saying he should battle, but it still might be nice to know.
