You should all join it's like if neopets weren't gay as balls

 

[mawk]

YEAH POKEMON

honestly it's pretty alright

it's sort of empty atm but I guess it's still technically beta?

but idk, I like it alright and I usually don't give a shit about pokemon so

 

[Ellie]

If anyone knows the staff I think we should affiliate.

Anyway,

I'm playing, Johto (I think - the original set).

Still learning tho. Started doing dungeons. Got confused that I always do 1 dmg to the boss, and can beat it by going back fifty times. There must be a better way; I hate farming.

 

[Ellie]

Oh, I just found trials. ;x

 

[bashful crobat]

;x

 

[moxie]

FUCK YOU PIKACHUDSJO{:; wasted 4 balls on that little bastard

i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing but it's kinda fun

 

[Ellie]

I just found a Luxury Ball?

 

[Toams]

does it have a little sofa in it

 

[moxie]

oh nifty i guess it doesn't use up the ball if it escapes


sorry pikachu

 

[bashful crobat]

I cant afford any balls because I keep spending my oney on other things

1000 per piplup egg I mean what ;_;

 

[mawk]

yeah I kind of wish the economy wasn't based around advertisement quite as much

like, two hours playing the game and a capped $500 in interest from the bank will let you buy a great ball

hopefully they'll even things out a little when the beta's over with

You can get 800/24h from growing and selling the quickest-growing berries, but it's a choice between 1PP/berry fed to someone else's pokemon, the exp when fed to your own pokemon, or selling them for 50 each. Other than that your only options seem to be dungeons, selling stuff to other players, or donating to the site to get special items and abusing them to get money from other players (selling them outright or making it easier for you to get rare pokemon).

also:

 

[moxie]

whoa neat how do you get a GBC-style pokemon?

 

[bashful crobat]

they're encountered like any other pogeyman; there's a chance of it being a retro sprite or a second animation frame sprite

Shirogane explains it in full here

 

[bashful crobat]

actually thinking about it 1000 a piplu isnt so bad

I paid 1300 for the torchic (100 for a gacha ball, then 300 for a mystery egg) and my other mystery eggs, and gacha adopted pokemon were still 1000

okay I am less upset about being poor I mean

I was the one who squandered all but 9 pokedollars, right?

 

[Ellie]

I made the mistake of doing my shits at 2am so now I'm waiting for 2am every day so I don't lose hours ;x

 

[moxie]

so what's the point of the training/raising the pokemon's stats? is it just for the hell of it? i haven't noticed anywhere you can battle or anything

 

[united washcloth express]

They'll add battling eventually. For now, it makes you look cool.

 

[moxie]

my trusty :ditto: is never leaving my party btw, it's too fucking cute



infact i'mma just train its cuteness up even though that probably gimps it stats-wise(maybe? idk how all that works haven't really played pokemon since genII) because it deserves it
