Well, it's my understanding that the small change to the shelter passes was meant to help people who hatch a lot of eggs, yes? thing is, not everyone needs to click 50k times a day in order to hatch a lot of eggs, but the shelter pass grabs are only increased based on interactions. would it be at all possible for just the amount of eggs you hatch in general to also affect any increase to shelter grabs? this could help people who are able to hatch a lot of eggs, but don't necessarily have to click that much to do so.
EDIT: though, I suppose the want for something like this really depends on how much the shelter grabs get affected per how many interactions. the update wasn't specific on that. if it's only a few more grabs per a few thousand interactions then I think something like this could be useful. but I don't know exactly how many more grabs we get per so many interactions.

The way they worded the new mechanics in the help page seems to make it look like you still get four extra grabs per shelter pass, but you sometimes get additional grabs along with those four grabs based on how much you click/proper berry interactions.
Regardless, I'm also curious to see if this is the case. I was actually about to ask this same question. This post has been edited by Galahawk: Jul 27 2010, 01:15 AM -------------------- [align=center]

Yeah, that's exactly how it is - you get four, and an additional amount per pass based on your interactions, and your proper berry interactions.

Then you won't get as much of a boost as someone who takes the time to feed lots of Pokemon the proper berry, yup yup. -------------------- "Java is to JavaScript as ham is to hamster."    |

hmm...well if I've done my math right...then it looks like 1 per pass per thousand interactions. but with me and my maths...I could be way off

You're way off, and moreover, you forget about proper berry interactions' effects as well, yup yup.

well at 10 extra grabs for a little over 2k interactions, I figured that was a logical assumption. and seeing as how my proper berries are at less than 10% of that, I didn't really take it into account...I figure proper berries give a bonus on top of the regular one. guess I was wrong though. it's too late to try and figure this stuff out...I need sleep

Just to clarify, based on what could be a faulty assumption, 1000 correct berries out of 10,000 interactions is worth less than 1000 correct berries out of 1000 interactions? There's a ratio involved, yes?

I do like the idea. I did not often reach my daily shelter limit, but when I did it was always a hassle to switch to the lab to get the eggs I was looking for.
It's just... I just wish there would be more information about that. IT'S A MYSTERY, I know, I know. But there will be questions anyway. Transparency is a virtue. --------------------  |

Just to make it all clear :
The bonus grabs gained from Interactions are for the daily ones. But what about the bonus gained from proper berry feeding ? With the MC day bonus, i can't realize how much my Shelter grabs are right now, but it looks like i already got a bonus, while i hadn't started clicking yet... Hence my wondering. x) I think it's daily as well, and the increase i see is only from the MC day, but just to be sure... ?  EDIT : BB's post right under this kinda answers my question, it IS daily. As a side note, i'm totally in love with your new avatar, Big Bidoof. *3* This post has been edited by Tsukichi: Jul 27 2010, 08:25 AM -------------------- Member of :      |

There's a ratio involved, yes? No. It's number of Shelter Passes * floor(((some number * interactions) + (some number * proper interactions))/some number) that get added, yup yup. -------------------- "Java is to JavaScript as ham is to hamster." |

*steals BB's yup yups*
Anyhow, i'm glad to hear that you get your x4 + additionals rather than just additionals. I was slightly worried before reading this thread. Thanks for the confirmation. --------------------  |

sooo....
Extra ShelterGrabs = Shelter Passes ∗ ⌊ (( x ∗ interactions ) + ( y ∗ proper interactions )) / z ⌋ ? Hmm, I wonder if we could possibly figure out the three numbers some day.

What happens if you use up all of your shelter grabs for the day, and then interact with more pokemon? My assumption is that you still have to wait for the next day to adopt more anyway, yup yup/nope nope?

Yesterday I used up all my grabs, clicked around, earned a grab and used it, clicked more, then earned two more grabs and used them.
 Thanks so much for implementing this into the site. <3 -------------------- |
