[X] My Assistant

[mxgrieves]

This is something that came into my mind today, and has been annoying me for quite some time.

I interacted ~5000 times a few days ago, and I haven't clicked in a while. That's really not a large amount for me. Usually, a good day is ~15,000. I went through the total amount of shelter grabs fairly quickly. After that, there's really not much I could do. I have pretty much all Pokemon and novelties (besides Latias and a good number of event legendaries), and hunting for shinies is all I could do. Depending on their rarity, I may not see them in the lab at all. My clicking is hindered by that. I know this may sound a little selfish, but because mass-clicking is so easy nowadays, maybe we should increase the number? Even the shelter passes (I have all of them) isn't enough for me. Am I just being picky?

(On a side-note, I never noticed this before because I used to block ads on the site, so my interactions may have been high, my maturity gains were low, and the limit never bothered me.)

Some solutions?

-I'm not sure about this one, but maybe an account upgrade that lets you grab one shiny hunt Pokemon an infinite amount of times in the shelter? 20,000 points, and it only lasts until you complete the shiny hunt Pokemon. You'll have to buy it again for another shiny hunt Pokemon.

-Just increase the base total?

-Add more shelter passes?

-Make shelter passes add more to the total?

-Remove the limit completely?

I'm sure there are some problems with this, and you may or may not agree with this, but I'm curious about your opinions (especially the staff's).

I like that Shiny Hunt thing idea a lot o.o!

What I could suggest would be some sort of...Shelter takes increase with Daily Clicks o.o for example..every 5k/10k clicks you gain some more shelter takes ._.

[Tyranisaur]

I suggested in the old thread that we who run out of sheltergrabs can be allowed to pick eggs from the amounts that are overflowing from the shelter, as anything over 100 will be deleted every hour. The point of limits on sheltergrabs are to prevent active users to grab all the stuff in front of the not so active users. But when some eggs are deleted anyway, I can't see why we can't be allowed to pick eggs out of there.

I also support any other way to give me more sheltergrabs for my shinyhunts, as I try to hunt for eggs that are easy to find I need to get more of them.

Or possibly, when you get say, 15000 interactions, you get say, 3-5 more shelter adopts?

Every 15000 interactions you get an extra 3-5 shelter adopts or so?

I don't think that would be enough. Maybe every 5,000 or so?

[mxgrieves]

Thanks for the input. The suggestion you guys came up with can be another solution, too.

An hour and a half into clicking, I have no shelter grabs left :P

15,000.. not enough..? Surely you mean "too much"? Because 5,000 is less than 15,000... therefore making it too easy to obtain more shelter grabs by that method.

I personally like the idea for people out of shelter grabs to be able to only obtain pokemon that are over flowing the shelter. I also support having an extra 5 or 6 grabs (just random numbers here) for any of your four (counting races, of course) hunts and for those only.

I think he meant the ratio of 3-5:15,000, that wouldn't be a high enough ratio and is a smaller ratio than 3-5:5,000.

I think these are pretty good ideas. Maybe a different kind of shelter pass for hunt pokes. Same rules as the pass, but only applies to Pokemon you're hunting.

[Mad as a Hatter]

Yes, I agree. I try to use the lab more often, but sometimes 30 minutes of clicking gives me no hunt pokeymans so I need to use the shelter.

Maybe a shine recorder update? Like, you pay 20k for buying the update, then 5k for every type of pokemon?(max 3 hunted pokemon at a time)

[Saki234]

I just want to throw my support in for this. especially if you're shiny hunting three difference species at once, the hunts go incredibly slow when the most you can take of any one species in a normal day is 26 (or less if you split it between the two or three you're hunting). I might find a couple later on in the lab, but really nothing significant. for the most part, I hatch the eggs I'm hunting early in the morning, and then by a couple hours after reset or so, I'm done with that and have to settle with random lab eggs the rest of the day.

[ForeverGone]

Waiting for an official something to be instated, i suggest you only pick in the Shelter what you know you can't find in the Lab (Rares and such), even if it means having to browse the Lab for a few minutes, knowing the egg you want is in the Shelter. Given that it will keep you some grabs for the rarer eggs, overall it should hinder your clicking much less...

Aw, several lines-sentence... My apologies if i lost the grammar along the way. >____<

[Crystal Shards]

The only one I would back is the shiny hunt one. The limits are there for a reason, and I mean the limit if you have all shelter passes is like 26 isn't it? That's already pretty a high limit.

[Tyranisaur]

26 is 4 full parties + 2 more grabs, which isn't really much.

Btw, yesterday I ran out of sheltergrabs 2 and a half hour after reset, and then started picking lab eggs, idk how many I ended up hatching, but I'm sure it was around 130 eggs.

You see that my record for hatched eggs is from the first day of the shiny swinub hunt, all because you could grab as many as you wanted could hatch.

[Crystal Shards]

That's enough for most people, really. If you're in the, like, 1-5% that actually uses it up, then I guess good for you?

I dunno, I mean I really like the Shiny Hunt idea, because especially when hunting for things like Magikarp, it's... tough to say the least... to get anywhere since they hatch so fast. But... I dunno I mean obviously I wouldn't be upset if the numbers increased, I just don't really see the point, and I see the point of limiting it. So...

[Darth Krytie]

Anything to increase the ability to use the shelter would be great. So often I find myself with one last shelter pick (I try never to use the last one just in case) and there are no eggs in the lab for any of my hunts at all.

[Retrospect]

I don't think it should be unlimited (since there needs to be some reason to log on tomorrow), but I do think something should be done to help the ultra active site members. I really like the Shiny Hunt item idea, and I wouldn't be opposed to a few extra grabs based on daily interactions. Something like one extra grab per 3.5k interactions or something.

[ProfessorAnthony]

^^ Good idea! 1 extra grab per 3.5k interactions! I like it! Or maybe you can purchase something that allows that to happen.

[mxgrieves]

Thanks for all the input, again. It seems the most widely supported ideas are the account upgrade which lets you grab one shiny hunt Pokemon an infinite (or a large number, say 100) from the shelter, until you complete the shiny hunt OR your shelter grabs increase depending on your daily total of interactions.

100% Agree with this. My case as-well

I'd say 100 would be pretty decent yes, and until you've completed your shiny hunt... I agree.

but I still like my idea of a few more shelter grabs depending on daily interactions

[Commander Wymsy]

The only one out of any of these ideas I agree with is adding extra grabs based on daily Interactions.
