When GPXPlus first started, it was simply an adoptables site. Throughout its time, the community here helped morph it into more of a clicking site, where users would mass-click people from the online list. At first, this wasn't natively supported by the site. We saw how the site was changing and made it so people could mass-click from the online list without having to use 3rd party browser add-ons.

A section was introduced on the party/Pokétch page for viewing which users clicked you, which ones you haven't clicked back yet, and ones that you clicked but haven't clicked you back. This made the site feel more community-like in that most everyone felt a strong need to pay everyone back with clicks that appeared in this interactions section. Clickbacks were plentiful. However, when we introduced the new and improved Users page, which offers a lot more features than the original, this section was removed. It was no longer needed, since the Users page has methods for viewing the users you still need to click back, and it caused more overhead with all the data it had to fetch at once.

Because of this, though, people stopped clicking others back as much. Raising Pokémon and eggs simply by going out and clicking now takes longer because the people you click aren't clicking you back as fast, or at all, and it's making the site seem harder to use and less community-like. We understand, and as the site changed before to help users, it's changing once more. Now, clickbacks will actually be encouraged!

When you click people back, you will receive a new type of currency, so to speak, that you'll be able to use in a completely new section of the shop (which is not available just yet). You're not the only one, either. The person you click back will also receive it, because hey, they did click you first. So you're helping yourself and them in two ways. For every 100 Pokémon you click that belong to users that have already clicked you (or, that belong to users that eventually click you back) the same day, you will receive 1 Pass Orb.

To break this down more easily:

20 people click your Party of 6 eggs. You then click all 20 of these people back, and we'll assume they all have 5 Pokémon in their Party. That means you clicked a total of 100 Pokémon during clickbacks, and will receive 1 Pass Orb.

Those 20 people will all receive 6 points towards 1 Pass Orb as well, because of them having clicked your 6 eggs and you having clicked them back. By points, I don't mean the points you spend in the shop; I just mean if they do this same thing for another 94 Pokémon/eggs, it'll convert into 1 Pass Orb. Any points for that day that don't fall into a multiple of 100 will simply be discarded at reset. In other words, they would have 0.06 Pass Orbs, but that would turn into 0 by reset, which would give them none.

If another user clicks your Party, but you don't click them back, they won't get the 6 points towards the Pass Orb, despite having clicked you. You didn't click them back, which is what this is all about.

The same is true for the reverse; if you clicked those 20 parties first, and then they clicked you back, the same outcome would occur. It doesn't matter who clicks who first, so long as you two have mutually clicked each other. It also doesn't matter who clicks who more, as long as you both clicked each other, you will both get points towards a Pass Orb in the amount of how many clicks you gave that person. So if a user one clicks you, don't sweat clicking them back; they'll only get 1 point out of it.

Now, if 1,000 different users click you, and you click all of them back, and we'll say they all had 6 Pokémon in their party this time, you would get 6,000 points towards Pass Orbs. 6,000 would be divided by 100, to give you a total of 60 Pass Orbs for the day. If the total of Pokémon were 125 for the entire day, you would only get 1 Pass Orb, and that extra 25 would be forgotten.

I hope that made sense to everyone (then again I hope everyone actually read all of that).

Finally, I wanted to point out that it's still very easy to click people back, despite the interactions tab no longer being the way it was. You can still go to it, and it'll have shortcuts to the Users page that filter the list to only show the users that are relevant to what the shortcut was named. Otherwise, you can just go to the Users page yourself, and at the top of it, you'll see "View users who..." Simply click the link under it that reads "who I have not yet interacted with", as this is a sub-link to "have interacted with me today", which means it'll only show users who clicked you but you haven't clicked back yet. You could also just use that "have interacted with me today" one and re-click them if possible since the new clicks would count towards your total, too.

When will the new Shop section be available? Hopefully sometime this weekend, or the week following. Look forward to it! We're announcing this now so that you can start clicking people back, as Pass Orbs are already being earned. This way you will have some to spend once the Shop section is opened. Note that you cannot currently see how many Pass Orbs you have.

You will still earn regular Shop Points the same way as always to spend in the current sections. Nothing is changing with those.

Update #1: Pass Orbs will only be credited at reset. You won't instantly get them the way you get points. So, if you click a bunch today, you won't get any Pass Orbs from it until reset. The amount of Pass Orbs you currently have will be displayed at the top of your Inventory and on the Shop page. I will also have it display the amount you have earned so far for the day, which will be credited during reset, on the notification bar. Amount of pass orbs you currently have should show up within the next 30 minutes while the amount so far for the day will start showing up within the next hour or so.

Edit: Ones that have already been credited to your account will also display at the top of your Poketch where your URL/Login name/Points are.

Update #2: Stats tab (on Pokétch/User pages) now has how many Pass Orbs you earned yesterday, the most you earned in a day, and ranks for both. Also, under the Interaction Stats on the right, you'll find how many total Pass Orbs you've earned (not to be confused with how many you have on hand, as once you're able to spend them, this total will continue to only go up).

Stats have also been added to the Stats page. Under Daily Stats, you will find one for Most Pass Orbs Earned Yesterday and one for Most Pass Orbs Earned in a Day. Under User Stats (Misc), you'll find one for Most Pass Orbs on Hand and one for Most Pass Orbs Earned (which, again, is a cumulative count).

Edit: Changed my mind and altered a couple of things. I've gotten rid of the Pass Orb stats for yesterday and added stats for today. Note that no records/ranks/values were lost in doing this.

Thank god, click backs.

Oh wait, guess that means I'll have to click back too on my lazy days. >.> <.<

Posted by: Tamat May 20 2011, 05:34 AM

Wow, this looks awesome.

Any hints as to what the shop will sell? Will it be something like battle items (like Gems?), summoning/fossil items, account upgrades, or a wide assortment of things (almost like the regular shop?)

I'm praying for Flame Orbs... or Sweet Honey... :P

Can't wait to get the new currency. When I click I try to click back so it's fair for the people that clicked me. Now that were getting encouraged to click back it just drives me even more then before.

Interesting. I should probably clickback now..

Posted by: SilentPsycho May 20 2011, 05:48 AM

Definitely happy about this! I always clickback, so I can see the difference between those who I click that clickback, andthose that don't. In addition, I can see how much I clickback compared to those who click me, and there's nothing more discouraging than seeing that I've interacted with X's party in double or even triple digits, while X has only clicked me once or twice. As you said, it kind of ruins the community feel.

Posted by: Tamat May 20 2011, 05:50 AM

Here's a few more questions I thought of:

If one of the people I clicked back changed their party out with 5 new mons and I clicked them all, would I get 5 more points, or would they have to do another set of interactions with me? Is there a cap of how many points we can get from interacting with one particular member, or is it just limited to how many of their mons we can click?

Posted by: Mudd E May 20 2011, 05:58 AM

Yessssssssss I've been waiting for something like this! I was totally getting bummed by how many people I've clicked versus those who actually return them!

This in addition to the sprite changer update has made my day.

Oh thanks! Every time this site becomes more and more interesting, thank you! ))

Posted by: MiTYH May 20 2011, 05:59 AM

This seems really interesting... and good! As a mass clicker, it does get annoying seeing 10/20% of the people you click respond back. And even then, no telling if it's full party or just one. I support this! *raises banner*

Posted by: ze gobou May 20 2011, 06:01 AM

Sounds good, BUT :
Won't it make the Social Network achievement harder to get ?
If people start clicking / clicking back even more than before, you won't need to add anyone to your Pal Pad...

You would get the 5 more points towards it. You could click a single person 30 times (just a random number, there is no maximum amount) and they could click you 5 times, and you'd get all 30 points while they'd just get their 5.

No caps as of now. We're going to start monitoring how Pass Orbs are earned now that people know to start earning them. Whether things are tweaked once we have more data to look at, I can't be sure.

Posted by: Myth89 May 20 2011, 06:03 AM

Now THIS is a nice change, especially for those users that were here before the user-list change and were (like me) very fond on the interactions tab!
Thank you very much!

Cool addition, though I doubt it'd give ME much an incentive to click back XD If I do mass-click, I just use the online page. I don't click much anymore--mainly because my computer is a pain to work with, even with only 2-3 programs open at once -.-;-- People not clicking me back doesn't bug me anyway

Posted by: Keynir May 20 2011, 06:24 AM

Oh my god I love this. <3 I always clicked back and now I get even more benefits other than a good feeling. 8D

Posted by: SagaDavid May 20 2011, 06:32 AM

Sounds good! I did notice that clickbacks were worse than before, so any improvement would be nice. And new shop items would be nice too. I wonder what we will be able to buy...
It will probably help in hatching tons of Porygon eggs too!

Posted by: MiTYH May 20 2011, 06:32 AM

Quick question... I think I've done at least 100 pokemon/egg clickbacks... where would we go to see the pass orbs?

As the post states, you cannot yet see the amount you have. Though, I actually enabled this yesterday, so any clickbacks you made on May 19th have already netted you pass orbs.

Posted by: Slix May 20 2011, 06:49 AM

i'm kinda iffy on this mainly because if the other person clicks you first when you click them back they get points so essentially someone never has to click back and just keep doing what there doing to gain as many as possible but then again thats prolly just me being pessimistic

Yes, it will work fine. The pass orbs are, as of now, calculated during reset. But I will be making it so that they're calculated during the exp calc so that the amounts update frequently throughout the day.

Posted by: Nokrow889 May 20 2011, 07:10 AM

i have a question i know its sort of already been answered here but i still dont get it

say someone clicks you and you click them back, but then later in the day you click them again do you get more pass orb points for it or are you capped at how much they've clicked you?

I don't see why someone would not click back (this is guaranteed points towards the pass orb), and instead go and click more people who may not even click back (unguaranteed points).. if that makes any sense

Holy Garbodor, guys... You're fantastic.
TBH I've never imagined you would actually not just make additions but revamp this whole thing.
I had been here for only a few moths when the new system was added, so I couldn't really get into this click-or-be-clicked community feeling (exceptions are always there) ... but now I sense awesomeness.

Can't wait to be able to buy loads of stilldunnowhat with the Orbs, but I assume it will be something amusing/usfeul/both.

Don't know about everyone else but I am already seeing fantastic results. Some users I would click 20-40 times a day and they would only do 6 back... going through my 'users that have interacted with me' list is now showing wayyyy more people matching my clicks! Also hatching eggs way faster than normal.

Maybe I have a shot at Creationist on my days off of work coming up... [tents fingers and laughs maniacally]

Posted by: Pandatia May 20 2011, 08:20 AM

Excellent idea! =]

I click back anyways, so this is just a bonus for me! Haha.
Hopefully this will encourage people to click me back now too.

I may need to buy those shelter passes as well now, if people will now click me back more, thus hatching eggs faster. Lol.

Just in time for school to get out as well. ;D

Posted by: Killer Zylos Wolf May 20 2011, 08:24 AM

...Must...click...back...ARGH!!!

I admit I don't normally click back, but one reason for that is laziness to click at all that day, and sometimes I just forget. This will help me not be as lazy or forgetful though.

Now what will these items be...hmm. Battle Tower Items? Summoning Items? Blue Stone(...I just want one so badly). I doubt vouchers will be in it, can't make everything too easy. Can't wait to find out what the items are, hopefully I'll actually want them.

Posted by: kopyrite May 20 2011, 08:26 AM

This is a really good incentive to help people get more active! Some days it's a little disappointing when less than half of the people you interact with click back, and hopefully this new system will increase interactivity!

Posted by: Superbob May 20 2011, 08:29 AM

Really interesting, are orbs earned every 100 or does the total amount earned at the end of the day get added at once.

Posted by: Flintfang May 20 2011, 08:38 AM

Clicking on GPX Mobile still will qualify you for the Pass Orb points, correct?

This is a really great idea, by the way :] I hate clicking a bunch of people and never getting clickbacks

Posted by: Truth May 20 2011, 08:42 AM

Oo, incentive from the site to click back! I love it, and can't wait to see what we can get with them. I'll get to click backs a bit later.

Posted by: seaslugs May 20 2011, 08:51 AM

Thank you so much; this is awesome The previous clickback rate was atrocious (around like 20%), so I'm happy to see a new system to fix that.

Really excited to see what goodies are in the new shop

Huh, this is pretty cool. I've been slowly losing motivation to click - mainly I've been using Explorations as my motivation, but once I run out of those to do I get bored - but this might actually get me back into it, depending on that the Pass Orbs can get you. I'm highly intrigued.

Posted by: tj4bigred May 20 2011, 08:54 AM

Definitely awesome. Thanks GPX, I always click back, and when people don't it can make the game frustratingly slow.

I can't wait to spend some Pass Orbs. I wonder if it will be anything like the games, where you can get Pass Powers like Higher Hatching rate, More Experience, More Befriending Power...

Thanks again!

Posted by: Nyara May 20 2011, 08:58 AM

Encouragement of click-backs? I like.

Especially since I do try to click everyone who clicks me, even on my slower days. I can't wait to see what the Pass Orbs can get us.

Posted by: Liliac May 20 2011, 09:00 AM

Well I always been used to not get that many clickbacks as I click xD (Despite being one of the most clicked users in the site). But I'll enjoy this (: Of course there may be times I won't click at all, then I can only be sorry for who clicked me... ;x But if I'm active, I'll try to make up.

Posted by: Sabourok May 20 2011, 09:01 AM

This is pretty awesome. Though there's one issue I'm currently having with the shop, and IDK if it's just because I'm using Safari as my web browser. A bar is covering up a good portion of the screen, it's the bar that is normally at the bottom of every page with the information like what web browsers gtxplus was tested on, etc. It's covering up the evolution stone drop down so I can't sell my extra stones and it's covering the shop tabs.

Fantastic! I do most of my interactions by clicking back, I'm happy to see that something good came from it. Hopefully more people will click back now, it drives me crazy to click a bunch from the online list and not get even half the amount of clicks back.

First the menues for the shop inventory (thank you, thank you, THANK you for doing that!) and now this...I am now a much happier mass clicker XD now for people to read the news and click back!

Posted by: Mizuiro no Yume May 20 2011, 09:45 AM

This is great! I love this update like woah and motivates me to initiate clicks not only while on explorations. Because even though I always click back (even if I'm busy I log in oen hour before the rest just to click back everyone who clicked me that day) normaly the lack of click backs doesn't motivate me to go to the online list.
But now that should change, so yay! I'll be playing more than before~

Posted by: Synn May 20 2011, 09:48 AM

Hoping the new shop will stock Flame Orbs

I have a question though:

If you click someone with a party of 6, then straight away use the Odd Incense, and click the same 6 again, will you gain points from that or not?

Posted by: TurtwigFan1 May 20 2011, 09:53 AM

Pass Orbs sound awesome ! It'll give us all motivation to clickback instead of just clicking the online list. I do have a question - is there anyway that we can see how many Pass Orbs we've earned and how many more interactions we need to get another before reset? I just think it'd be kinda annoying if you got 99 interactions and missed out on another orb :/

Posted by: Swizzle May 20 2011, 10:07 AM

I'll admit that I do not mass click as often, but I always return clicks given to me, so something like this was right up my alley. Can't wait to see what the new shop will be like! : D

Posted by: Kanra May 20 2011, 10:16 AM

Thank you soooo much for doing this. I don't always have time to clickback everyday because I'm a grad student, but now that summer has rolled around, I've noticed hundreds of people not returning the clicks I give them and it does get really frustrating. I'm really looking forward not only to the new section of the shop, but to seeing more people return clicks. Yayyy!

I can has question. What if you have internet that already makes the site and forums run stupidly slow, and you want to click back, but it's a hassle even to click 5 people back once every day without your internet freezing up on you? I come on to battle mostly, and not only does that load a little better than opening like ten pages at once, it shows I'm online and that gets me clicks. However, when I get on at the library or school I try to click back a lot.

How will I get these new passes if I can't even get two thousand interactions in the year i've been on gpx+ (this does include a small hiatus, though-)?

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten May 20 2011, 10:32 AM

I highly appreciate this change. Whenever I'm in a mass-clicking mood, I feel like I'm getting cheated out of my return-clicks. Most of the people I click don't seem to return my favor. I took time out of my day to interact with your 'mons/eggs. I deserve to have that repaid. Now, when I mass-click, I'll at least see more people returning my favor.

Good now I may be able to get my eggs to hatch more, not like every two days if I'm lucky. It bugs me that I'm taking my time out of my day to help others but they won't help me back. Sorta annoys me, but will help. And that's a good thing.

I truly do like this new system and the store and all, but now I'll feel guilty and on edge if I miss a person, get called away from the internet/my connection goes out, or take a break from clicking after doing a mass click spree, all of which have happened to me in the last few weeks.

I like the new mechanic, but not the attitude I see creeping back up with it.

Shiny! Super shiny. Most days I never make it past the "users who have interacted with me" tab because I do Pal Pad--interacted with me--online list whenever I do a clicking spree and I refresh until no eggs or Pokemon shows up on both.

...of course, I may have to go and click other people first now, if a lot of people switch to doing things like this.

But still, awesome!

This is fabulous. Clickbacks are my favorite way to interact! ;3

Posted by: Dalek Omega May 20 2011, 12:39 PM

Nevermind on this section - I saw the post that fleshed this out.

How does this work when it comes to one-clickers (which I know a lot of people don't like)? If I am clicking full parties (which I normally do & let's pretend that they have 5 eggs in each party) belonging to 20 one-clickers, I'm assuming I'd have earned 1.00 (my 100 clicks) Pass Orbs where each of the one-clickers would have had .01 Pass Orbs. Is this thinking also correct?

Now let's also assume I use my Odd Incense during the day (asked about a few pots ago by Manah). If I'm correct about adding the Int To stat on the "Users who interacted with me" page, then my returning to all of those parties should just get me "Mo' Pass Orbs, Mo' Pass Orbs, Mo' Pass Orbs" too, right?

Posted by: zangetsugirl May 20 2011, 12:58 PM

Awesome! I already did my clicks on the "have interacted with me" list, simply because it's easier on the mobile site (I think, anyway), and that's where I do most of my mass clicking. And now, bonus! New stuff! Can't wait to see it.

Posted by: Kristastic May 20 2011, 12:59 PM

I like this because I re-click parties already, so now it's like... getting a free reward for something I was already doing anyway? Can't argue with that.

What will annoy me is all the people who whined about not getting enough clickbacks. Yes, they help both parties, but no, not everyone has all the time in the world to sit and return clicks, and complaining about people who would rather do something else than sit at a computer and click you back just sounds silly to me xD So I hope this doesn't continue to encourage that mentality >___________<

Does this include interactions you make with yourself? Like, say I hatched 100 eggs, and interacted with all 100 of those. Do I get a Pass Orb for that?

And what about Professor Cypress? Do clicks toward her count as well, since she always returns your clicks?


EDIT: With this implementation, I wish I could sort the Online list the way we used to be able to. Sort it according to who has interacted with me, but including ones who haven't. That way I can just go down the list and get to those who have clicked me first, then those who haven't.

Sorry if I overlooked the answer to this, but is the item auto-added to your account once you meet the requirement? I'll explain, I do most of my clicking thru the mobile site and I know using the mobile site gets rid of some benefits such as random item finding, so if I do do the required about of Clickbacks on the mobile site do I still get the Pass Orbs? Thanks in advanced, I want to get an answer to this before I clickback on the mobile site.

Posted by: Merchant May 20 2011, 03:25 PM

I enjoyed reading your post, Zerxer. It makes me feel fired up to try as best as I can to get as many interactions as I can handle. Your post is also why I like this site more than any other I've been on, which weren't that many. Not only is the community friendly, but it's kind of like a family, too.
We help each-other out, and in return those same people return the favor and then some. While we may be complete strangers, we all share a single thing in common: clicking.
With each click, we get a new visitor, a complete stranger at times, who took a bit out of their schedule to help us out. We feel grateful and click them back, initiating a small bond between us that will strengthen with each click afterwards on the next day.

While we may not talk to the person, there are plenty of ways to communicate with them and this is one such way. We're acknowledging them, letting them know we're here to help out, though it may not seem like it. Some people click others just to get an achievement of sorts or to money, and there's nothing wrong with that. They're helping you out without knowing it half the time.

I think I've put too much thought into that statement. Ah, well.

Sorry if this has already been asked. I skimmed the pages for an answer but there are already so many.

Does the Odd incense affect this?

Like if someone clicks you, and they have three pokemon and you click them back, and then you use the incense and click those same 3 again, will you get 6 total, or does it not count the same pokemon twice?

Sorry if this has already been answered, but how will multiplier days effect this system?

For example, if it's a 3x multiplier day, do you get 3 pass orbs per 100 click-backs, or perhaps it only takes 33.33 clickbacks to get 1 pass orb? Or is there no effect?

Posted by: Petronec May 20 2011, 08:07 PM

Not to be a neigh-sayer but... I was under the impression the possibility of click-backs was encouragement to just click people first. Now, since we get pass orbs for being clicked back as well as clicking back what's stopping people from simply spending their time clicking first and not clicking back in the hopes, once again, that they will get clicked back themselves. I expect the hype and effect will die down soon and the masses will reach a similar conclusion.
I couldn't care less about a new shop because what is in some people's opinion a best case scenario (ie. summoning items/fossils and other such things) will surely just make seeing fossils and legendaries yet less rare and exciting. It's the same problem I have with shiny hunting being endorsed... It's just everywhere. It makes things boring. If the pass orbs sell battle items and things that are just in the shop usually what's the point. It just seems more logical and far simpler to spend time streamlining the system than coming up with "new" ways to entice people to do what they alredy did until you made an unpopular change.
Maybe I'm a minority here. I can only hope the change is effective but that's my two cents right there.

About what you said, I would be both. I usually click the ones on my pal pad, but now I feel encouraged to click anyone who clicks me. I don't demand full party clicks, but I just don't want 1-2 clickers clicking me. But it will be OK now, I want to get lots of Pass Orbs because the items are new.

I just have one question, lets say you click someone or they click you, then the clickbacks happen...later on either person or both people get new eggs/pokemon in their party and the other person comes back and clicks those too. Would we only get points for pass orbs with initial clickback or do we get something for the return visit clicks too?

Does a pass orb buy you 1 item or one day of access to that gonna-be-added-section of the shop?

YES!!! This makes total sense for me. I love this. You know why? I rarely click first and always click back. So if I balance them out more, my eggs and pokemans will be clicked more. YES!!! Thumbs up!

Ooh, I'm intrigued!

I definitely haven't been clicking back as often as I should or used to, and I feel awful. Now I have an incentive to! Looking forward to this.

Posted by: Kirvee May 20 2011, 11:40 PM

As long as the Users page no longer randomly generates the order members are shown in. That was my only problem with it when compared to the old version. I liked that the member order on the old version was actually in the order that someone clicked you in. It made calculated click-backs like I do easier, but the new on randomizes their display and I haven't seen an option to make it stop doing that.

Posted by: Rua May 21 2011, 12:34 AM

You can chalk this up to me being tired, but has this officially been enacted yet, or will this 'Pass Orb' feature come out when the new shop comes out? And will we be able to see our Pass Orbs in our inventory?

So in my inventory where it says my pass orbs is that what it will be after reset or is that what was given out to me already?

The shop's "My Inventory" section has been updated to display your inventory in a more-clean way. Items are now hidden underneath their categories. Click the category name to expand the items you have. The category heading also displays how many total items you have inside it and the total selling value of them.

I presonally don't like this, because my inventory is not so big that I would need it... Can't there be a checking thingy in Poketch, allowing us to either choose the current style of viewing items in shop, or the previous style? please?

Posted by: Mizuiro no Yume May 21 2011, 01:38 AM

68 Pass Orbs... not bad, I think?

Posted by: Sladin4Ever May 21 2011, 01:50 AM

I don't think I saw it in the original post, but will there be a new statistic in the statistic tab for the orbs--adding your record of orbs in one day and how many you earned already--at some point?

Posted by: The Yatagarasu May 21 2011, 01:54 AM

165 orbs at the moment. I didn't expect to have that many.

Posted by: Galactic Anthem May 21 2011, 01:55 AM

I have 3 Pass Orbs. I like the fact there's an icon of a Pass Orb next to the amount on my Poketch instead of the words 'Pass Orb(s)' next to the 'x3'.

Posted by: blum May 21 2011, 02:09 AM

So far I have 85 orbs. That's fine, I guess.

Posted by: ThunderMoss May 21 2011, 02:28 AM

313 Pass Orbs which is more than I expected.

I spend most of my clicks returning so this plays naturally into my present playing style. This is too many to just be from yesterday so perhaps it also includes the day before as that would be about right.

Posted by: Zakariah May 21 2011, 02:35 AM

Posted by: Kirvee May 21 2011, 02:39 AM

@Thunder: Ooh, so that's why they keep constantly switching positions.....but I don't want them to do that, I want them to go back to being stationary like they were before. That way it's easier for me to keep track of my numbers, otherwise I end up not clicking as much because it screws with my preferred system.

Posted by: Numbuh 893 May 21 2011, 03:01 AM

Ohhh, I have 18! I bet that will buy me nothing. ...Wait, I've had 18 for ages and have been clicking back. What gives? O.o

This is pretty cool so far! Can't wait to see what we can buy!

Also, does this, by any chance, have anything to do with those tokens we got from that one exploration?

Posted by: Silent Oppressor May 21 2011, 03:04 AM

I was bit worried about this, since I'm already asleep when most of you start clicking. Can't click back for those.
Looks like there was no reason for worry: 195 orbs already.

I'd probably have more if I were in another time zone, though.

Posted by: Jacin Tatt May 21 2011, 03:55 AM

Lmao I only have 3 orbs, with another 1 coming tomorrow so far. Haven't had much time to mass-click due to university assignments. Got some spare time now, and a Palkia egg to hatch, so I guess I'l go do some clicking and click-backs.

Posted by: The Brain May 21 2011, 08:44 AM

Sweet idea!!! Can't wait for the 'buyables' And can you say 'Future Achievements'? I see a "Earn X Pass Orbs in a day" achievement set in the near future!!!!

But....I have one question, if it was already answered I apologize. How does this work as far as your effort versus another person's?
EXAMPLE: Person A clicks Person B's full party, so that's 6 pokemon/eggs. Person B only clickbacks 1. Then Person A goes and clicks another 6 on Person B.

Would Person A get 12 points? Or 1, since they only got one 'clickback' while B gets 12 for being clicked 12 times?

Posted by: Kanra May 21 2011, 09:37 AM

I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet--I can't got back through all the pages--but I would be interested to see if the points values earned for each click might be adjusted in the future to further encourage feeding the proper berry. If users earned an extra point for clicking the proper berry, I think they'd be more inclined to take some time out of their mass clicking to feed correctly.

That list is different for everyone. It sorts all the active members in the last fifteen minutes from who clicked you most to who clicked you least. You and Professor Cypress will almost always in the top ten (unless you don't click her or yourself). The first number is how many times you clicked them, the second is how many times they clicked you.

Ummmm, this is really neat and all, but I have a technical question, and I read the original post and the entire thread pretty carefully and I don't think it's been answered yet.

Is there protocol for if, uh, you know, you hypothetically swallow one?

...I mean, hypothetically, if they were hypothetically so shiny and round that you hypothetically couldn't resist putting one in your mouth, and hypothetically you sneezed and...

...look maybe this wouldn't be a hypothetical problem if someone didn't give me hypothetical choking hazards and leave me hypothetically unsupervised, okay?

oh God why are they so shiny and round

I like the new stat. It's a bit of a motivator for me! Now we just need to see the shop whenever it's ready.
