I think the idea of the super repel is to repel Pokemon you don't have egg dex info for. At least, that's what I get from the description.

...Isn't the normal repel like that...?

"For example, if you have already obtained a Beldum and its egg but not Metang or Metagross and wanted another egg"

So...if you already hatched a buneary once, but never had a lopunny, and didn't want one, you'll still find buneary eggs in the lab anyway even if you used the super repel.
:/

Actually I believe that is the point. Currently the repel works if you haven't obtained the egg yet. The super repel would work for all pokemon you haven't obtained. For example, if you have a weedle but not evolved it to kakuna or beedril you'd still see those but you won't see any caterpie if you've gotten all 3 forms.

As far as your 'want' vs not want... that's what happens with a regular repel. If I wanted a buneary and didn't have one yet but also didn't have a caterpie, it isn't guaranteed that I'll find a buneary when I hit the repel button (since I might have 4/5 other pokemon I haven't gotten yet, and/or the egg wasn't in the lab at the time).

This wouldn't affect ditto since ditto only has one form, it would however effect the couple of legends with forms.

Just clarifying what I believe you were going for. It is an interesting idea but I don't think it will stick

That is correct. If you don't like this idea (such as with the Lopunny), then you wouldn't buy the super repel. It's not like it's an item that you have to buy, just one that might be helpful if you were, say, making a living Pokedex.

One new idea: On PC hover-overs, if it is shiny, then have it say "Shiny (Pokemon name here.)

~Torrita

It does say that when you hover over a shiny in your PC.

I still don't get the point of the super repel. Like, at all. If you have the Pokemon already, and you need the evolution, then why not just evolve that Pokemon? Yes, a couple Pokemon evolve into more than one thing, but I don't see why you wouldn't just stalk the shelter for that egg like everyone else. You've even got a one up on others who don't even have the egg dex, because you know what the egg looks like.

Say a person was collecting one of every Pokemon; this person doesn't just want the Dex data, he or she also wants to own all of the Pokemon.

In the Pokedex, it shows on every Pokemon whether it is summonable and whether it has a fossil. My idea is to Put the "summonable" picture only on Very Rares and the "Fossil" picture only on Novelties.

And as for the hover-over, I was just referring to when you are looking at someone else's PC; it doesn't show it from that point of view.

I still don't understand how a super-repel would help...

I think I get it.

I don't know that that is a popular enough quest that it would require a whole new item though. I mean it's really not hard to use the search function on the PC page to see if you have a particular Pokemon.

True, it might not help significantly, but it might help finding some of the less common Pokemon that you don't come across as often (i.e. some of the uncommons that no one breeds).

New idea: Shop Coupon Miscellaneous item (see first post for more details)

How is that any different from the Discount Coupon we already have?

http://gpxplus.net/help#shop
"Discount Coupon: May be used once, and only once, and then for the rest of that day, until Reset, you will have a 10% discount in the Shop."

It would only work on one item, and it could have values other than 10%. I'll add that to the notes.

[Torrita]

As for the Shop Coupon itself: Be able to use the Coupon on the Shop page.

The PC hover-overs already say if it's shiny or not, but only if you're looking at your own PC edit screen. If you mean seeing this on OTHER peoples' PCs then I can see where this suggestion would be viable.

Shop Coupon suggestion: I'd like this, but it doesn't take much effort to go to your page, use it and go back.

Yes, that's what I was referring to.

And you're right, it's not that hard; it would just be kind of nice.

For the user census: Could you put what category you fit into by bolding it? I'm always curious whenever I look where I stand.
