Hello, everyone! This month's theme for the Coin Event is based on a celestial theme suggested by Sealeo, Linoone, TwiliTerror, and Rookie Roo! The event will run from the 23rd of October until the 8th of November at reset. (October 22nd 11:55pm ET -> November 8th 11:55pm ET) If you had any leftover Coins from the previous event, your total will be reset to 0 when the event begins. The Event Shop will remain open throughout the month of November. When the event begins at the designated time, the following celestial themed Pokémon will hatch with a Coin: Absol Amaura Blipbug Carbink Cleffa Elgyem Gothita Igglybuff Ledyba Lunatone Minior Munna Nidoran F Nidoran M Porygon Roggenrola Sableye Skitty Solrock Staryu Swablu Teddiursa If you've saved enough Coins, you'll be able to exchange them for some lovely prizes in the Event Shop! Prizes range from 1 Coin to a top prize of 600 Coins. Note: There will be a bonus prize for 5,000 Coins. It didn't feel right to not include it with this theme. Good luck! : : We hope you'll have lots of fun with this event! -------------------- |

Lots of good comments to respond to so I will place them all in a single post.
@KitsuYuuki Regarding unlimited summons items it changes the historical game balance. Over 10+ years (but some time off) I managed about 1000 summons. With the last event alone I earned well over 200 summoning items... and one hatched shiny! I was happy to summon and hatch but this makes summons more of scheduling matter than something special. Getting tons of them from explorations doesn't really compare when I earned two years worth in a single two week period. Yes, I was one of the top coin gatherers but am planning to try and moderate this -- so asking for limits makes my change easier. @The Kraken I think we mostly agree? Jade provided a more thorough explanation of how the old coin system was 24+ hour madness rat race sort of unhealthy choices. New system much better for more balanced play and planning and not a few winners take all. I also agree that coins should just carry over. The difficulty of earning coins and their purchasing power hasn't really changed from one event to the next. Until we get a 'Karp event... NO! Allowing carry over would be a real boost for those who wish the Sh. Legendary voucher but it might take them two or more events based on their style of play. Or carry over could be capped at 600 coins to avoid any hiccups in changes to the earn/spend economy. @Professor Euc Healthier is not playing all day (most every day) and something both of us have considered and adjusted somewhat over the past while. At least I hope we are both making adjustments towards how we would prefer to play. I know I enjoyed a lot of summer excursions away from screens and my mouse/keyboard are happier to not be worked so hard. Hoppy's summoning spree (and another later than night) was quite wonderful to stumble upon and a joyful sharing. But it also was just another party of legendaries after having dozens of parties of legendaries over the preceding week. So... not quite as special as it would have been pre-event shop. Seeing multiple legendary eggs in a single lab screen and having to consider which was most special was a new experience. @Jade Thank you for explaining the old coin system. I agree the new one is much better balance for all levels of player activity. Sh. Vouchers still bother me relative to game play balance but that is my personal choice and I do not have to ever use them. I know other players have been very happy to earn and use their vouchers. -------------------- * * * |

@Jade Thank you for explaining the old coin system. I agree the new one is much better balance for all levels of player activity. Sh. Vouchers still bother me relative to game play balance but that is my personal choice and I do not have to ever use them. I know other players have been very happy to earn and use their vouchers. I suppose the way I look at it is simply that just because the site has become more gracious in these top end prizes (which, I mean, from responses still does appear to be quite a bit of work for the average player), I feel like it doesn't necessarily negate the value of the shinies acquired beforehand? I mean I'll always be proud of getting Virizion and Ditto in my second run through of their explorations. Or that Jaden my darling Jolteon took 1.8k eggs to get and started before multipliers were even a THING on this site. Or that my shiny Easter Buneary took an insane 1.5k lol. Oh and I don't forget spending literal HOURS in the shelter waiting for someone to drop a Zapdos egg back when legendries didn't have explorations and the only way to get them were from the "gift drops" (and actually managing to get one!) - list goes on but they are all my proud accomplishments. But I'm also like..... really grateful that I have more freedoms I didn't really feel I had before? Like, prize points. I no longer feel I need to horde them just so I can mass summon Rayquaza anymore. I finally felt free enough to USE the trove of shiny legend vouchers I gained on the site throughout the years from events because I now am confidant I'll get another. I finally can consider throwing other things in my daycare that aren't novelty only pokemon if I wanted to (because my list of wanted novelty shinies was also like a mile long LOL). And those are just personal positives on top of the overall site/economical ones I mentioned before. But you know obvs that's just me. I'm not trying to negate your - or anyone's - misgivings on the matter. Just want to provide another counterpoint to it.
