The Shiny Pokemon Quest!

(1/7) > >>

Janus:
When you enter a pokemon center (I'll leave it to the PU team to choose the location of where), and as you go up to the desk a scientist who apparently works for the professor who gave you your first pokemon has an invitation for you...

recently, a man who has washed up on the shores of this land after being shipwrecked on an Island for 6 years has spoke with scientists that the Island he was stranded on was home to some very strange pokemon (no not as in new pokemon), all the pokemon on that Island were shiny pokemon!  Most of the scientists who heard the castaway's story said he was crazy in the head for living alone so long.  however the professor and a small hand full of his aids found reference to such an Island in a book of southern native legends, where pokemon that shone like the stars (later known as shiny pokemon) were worshiped as deities by the tribes of Islands north of this one and they believed it to be the gates to the spirit realm, the only other people to set foot on that Island were tribal Shamans during their initiation to that status who were to go and seek knowledge at these spirit realm gates.

the Professor who gave you your first pokemon has invited you and several other trainers who have exceptional talent to join him and his research team on an expedition to this Island with a modern shaman as a guide.  You are free to catch any pokemon on this Island that you wish.  and the people of this tribe would consider you among the heroes of their tribe, for in their belief one to catch one of these "star-shine" pokemon as they call them is destined for great things!

This is a good idea, but you should change the reward. It would make it way too easy to get shiny pokemon and they would no longer be rare...

SnowWolfAlpha:
Yeah awesome idea, I can't remember if they said shinies were in the cards or not.
Maybe the pokemon flee and the quest unlocks a low encounter rate in the rest of the region or the professor gives you a pokedex program that can detect them in Miryus.

Then again I don't know if they're planning to do achievements that raise trainer rank/ level and 'Encountering/ Battling a Shiny Pokemon is one of them'.

I agree, an island filled with shiny pokemon is too easy. Unless it's an island that's really hard to get to, and when you do get there, the rate of actually encountering one of these pokemon was really low.

Otherwise shiny pokemon aren't going to be worth showing off in an MMO, and everyone will try to get one.

dtp882:
Maybe it could have a very low encounter rate of only shiny Pokémon and be timed or step counted like the Safari Zone. After you are there for the time limit/step count, you are asked to leave for disrupting the island by the Northern Tribes. That way you have a chance to get one but its too limited to make it over used or special.
