Title: Trade Pokemon?
Post by: Seveer on May 26, 2010, 05:06:14 PM
OK I did look up (Trade) and (Trade Pokemon) an nothing came up even know this seems big.
Will there be trade?
And if not how will some pokemon evolve?
But if so how can you prevent some pro from trading a level 100 to a noob?
I know in Ruby if you were not far enoph in the game you could not contol them, so will this be the same?

Haha, obviously there will be trade :P, why else would you be playing with other people?
Also, trade will not be restricted to pokemon, items will be tradeable as well.
There was some kind of discussion about what stops massive trade differences and I think the out come was that it would be related to your player level. Unfortunatly I can't find the thread anywhere...

Yes, it was said in my thread a long time back...

http://pokemon-universe.com/index.php/topic,605.msg7580.html#msg7580

We prevent pokemon from being traded to 'noobs' by making high level pokemon not obey the trainer if the latter doesn't have the necessary requirements (ie badges)

well if a trustworthy friend is what your looking for then you found... me hehe


so yeah i guess trading is a big part of the game and the restriction to avoid pros trading with the noobs isn't a bad idea at all :D

Ok, so it seems its the same as the core games.

Do the higher level pokemon just flat out not listen thoguh? Or is there a percentage to wheter it feels like listening or not, going up and down depending on how many badges you need, compared to badges you have?

More then likely there will also be a lvl the trainer has to be in order to even trade...to stop people from creating toons over and over to get and sell starters to other players.

Better be disobey 100% to totally discourage unfair trading...

Legendaries are OP, also in most storylines there are only one of each and so it makes no sense for every Tom, Dick and Harry to have one.

I have my own ideas on how trading will occur. Still, we're mostly working on getting the game running flawlessly. (Or maybe I just haven't been around for the cnoversations.) But, a few ways we could stop players from abusing it would be: make them have to reach a certain trainer level to trade. They must have a certain number of badges. They must have at least one Pokemon at level 20. They must complete a quest which will give them the option to trade. Or, they must have a certain item earned through some means.

Pick and choose, or combine, the ones that work best and that's how I see us deciding it.

I think that people should be able to trade at all times. Only, starters should be untradable and pokemons you are unworthy yet to control over will disobey (so you'll have to suffer the consequences of letting a high lvl give you a high lvl pokemon). Also I think that a pokemon should always be traded with pokemon (like in the GB games and the anime) but never get these situations: Butterfree > Potion ... Fire stone < Venesaur ... Items should be traded for money :)

Also, Raikt, you mention this:

They must have a certain number of badges. They must have at least one Pokemon at level 20.
Imagine the following situation:
Person 1:"Please, give me an antidote, my pokemon got poisened and i don't have any!"
Person 2:"Well, do you have 3 badges and a lvl 20 pokemon?"
Person 1:"No, I just caught my second pokemon!"
Person 2:"Sorry, can't help you then" * Person 2 bursts into a dance and walks away*

Thats why people always should be able to trade but with other bounduaries or however you spell that word xD.

The team is planning to use the trainer levels to control trading, and use the badges as another means to prevent unfair trading as the too high levelled pokemon would disobey their new trainer. Nothing was said about an item or the pokemon they have.

I just got another idea. Maybe we could only do trades in specific places, some will be in specific places, where the starter trainers cannot reach at first, but quite far in the game (I mean, it's difficult to go there just when they have weak pokemon, as they would get easily beaten by the wild pokemon/NPCs)

hmm... nice. but i hope you have like a special pokemon (we get from event or another way) so it will be nice for who has it,

Yes, there are daycares. Use the search bar next time.
For the two other questions, they were not asked yet.

I think that people should be able to trade at all times. Only, starters should be untradable and pokemons you are unworthy yet to control over will disobey (so you'll have to suffer the consequences of letting a high lvl give you a high lvl pokemon). Also I think that a pokemon should always be traded with pokemon (like in the GB games and the anime) but never get these situations: Butterfree > Potion ... Fire stone < Venesaur ... Items should be traded for money :)

I think that trading items and trading pokemon should be carried out separately, except when making pokemon hold items.

And PU never said that you could trade items with pokemon or vice versa.

If I missed the post where they did say that, post the link please.

If that post was meant for me I think you missunderstand me :)
In my post I say that people shouldn't be able to trade pokemon with items (my opinion). I never said that the team said there would be or wouldn't be an option to trade pokemon with items.
Title: Re: Trade Pokemon?
Post by: Jerry on June 12, 2010, 07:04:44 PM
Ok, we are on the same wavelength then, trading pokemon for pokemon and items for items :)

Yes indeed ;)

I wasn't talking about what was already stated, Jerry. :p

Most of the concepts aren't solid yet. There is still a lot of talk on subjects. (Quite a bit, actually.) So, I was giving you some heads up on some ideas I'll be tossing around to balance out trading.
