Limitless TM's?

Once people had enough money, they would buy all the TMs they wanted and then they wouldn't have to worry about that aspect of URPG. And worrying is half the fun of Pokemon . Granted it would take an extremely long amount of time just to get the elementals (flamethrower, ice beam, thunderbolt) but it would happen and then Pokemon would lose that aspect. Also, does this mean that in every game from now on, there will just be 1 copy of each TM avaliable in every cart? Or only 1 possible to have on a cart like HMs? *shudders*

 

What I may not have mentioned increasing prices of TMs specifically, but I did mention the G5 stuff that if we did this we would have to balance this out with something and in turn balance it with something else.

Basic economics folks. In order to have a good running economy there has to be a perfect balance or else we are screwed.

 

Imo, just leave it alone. The URPG takes mechanics that it likes and overwrites ones that it doesn't. We don't follow the four-moves-per-mon rule, so why should we follow this new TM convention? We've got a fine economy: why tamper with it?

 

For the record, we don't have much of an economy; that implies an exchange of goods or services. What we have are sources of income and money sinks, and the only cash exchange is through story deals (limited to 2 a month), auctions (which only one person actually spends on) or a gift station (which happens twice a year).

 

Thank you. No one please ever mention URPG economy again.

Anyway, I think unlimited TMs kind of ruin the spirit of the URPG that involves getting everything for every Pokemon. Even if they were 10x more expensive, trainers would start saving money as they use it on their 11th Pokemon, and this continues as it is used more, while making savings that are potentially not what we intended to give.

 

No, I like this idea. In fact, let's make it a free market where the higher-ups like hkim and leman are the government/owners of the 'Pokemon marketplace' and we be the shoppers. We'll have a supply, and demand where they'll only have a certain amount of TM's/HM's per month and the amount, plus the demand decides the price each month, so moves like water gun and bubblebeam are .25k and others like substitute, protect, and earthquake are 150k. Leman and Hkim, being some of the people getting the money from this market, become billionaires; the Bill Gates and Warren Buffet of the URPG. Next we'll get onto credit and have tons of new people and bmgers buying these TM's/Hm's and evolutionary items and ect. with credit, then finally the system will crash and URPG will go into a depression. PE2K and BMG will get into a war as PE2K 'purges' all of its 'newbs' out of its land in a massive genocide. BMG wins, it's market place stabilizes for the next few decades, but then the URPG gets into a few more issues and people branch off, leave, or simply don't agree with anything and must feel like it's their duty to argue back.


THE END.

 

I always thought our economy was more like an MMO.

 

I'm pretty sure there is no economy, seeing that any money spent is basically sucked into a void and/or lacks the ability to circulate.

 

Are you threatening to crash the economy? BAN PLZ :mallet:

what's sad is that most people won't get this

 

You could in theory look at it as all the money that goes into the Marts are used to pay all the wages and battle prizes. I mean, everytime someone wins/earns money, they're doing it so they can spend it.

 

YES!


And lol, to those people who don't get that, they must live under a rock, oh, and they're stupid too. :]

 

Oh no, Muse is May all over again!

I just want to point out that in BW, it was said used TMs weren't going to disappear. Instead, they were going to a Used TM section of the pack, or something like that. I don't recall ever hearing that TMs had become unlimited use, except here on BMG in another thread, and even then I think it was speculation on if it was possible, not someone saying it was for certain going to happen.

Anyways, like someone else already said, unlimited TMs would ruin the fun of the URPG in the long run. I could easily shell out several dozen k at the moment on essentials like Protect and Substitute, and never have to buy them again. Imagine me giving all 76 or so of my Mon both Substitute and Protect for maybe 170k (going by Harry's idea of making TMs x10 their current amount) as opposed to the 1,216,000 that I'd need to shell out over time if buying both TMs 76 times. When you see examples like this it quickly becomes apparent that the unlimited TM thing won't work for the URPG.

 

Dog of Hellsing: LOOK HOW MANY POKEMON I HAVE!

=P

 

XD Hardly. If anything I have too many, yet I'm crazy enough to want even more. But because I have such a large number, I figured it'd make a good example for why limitless TMs aren't a good idea. Heck, you could take someone like Haze or Ataro and still see that unlimited-use TMs would be way too broken, even if they were increased by 10 times their current prices.

Heck, even if a person only has, say, 20 Mon, they'd still need to spend 320k for a Protect/Sub for each of them. 170k is considerably less than that, no? I suppose maybe it does seem a bit arrogant to use the number of Mon I own when a smaller number shows my point, but I figured bigger numbers would make more of an impact.

 

Ataro isn't a good example... he already has pretty much everything TM'd more than they need to be... @[email protected]

 

Lol'd. I saw her on AIM the other day and was about to say hi, but I only sort of knew her, and I doubt she even knew/would remember me lol.


EDIT:

Lol'd at that too.

 

Wow, that's cool. Maybe now I can use a TM in game.

Topic- The system is fine the way it is.

~Jack~

 

That's the I feel xD. Anyways, unlimited TMs in my opinion will just make TMing every mon easier in the URPG and I know how we all hate having everything easy... but yeah, this isn't a good idea ​

 

If this does get implemented, we will still need the normal, one-use TM's, at the same cost. Why? Because of the new members. How will they afford 30000 for their first TM?

The system is fine as it is, guys.

 

YOO GOTS TOO MUCH POKEYMANZ?! GEEV ZEM TO MEEEEEEE!!! *heaving breath, bloodshot eyes, and drool*
no but srsly, no unlimited TMs topic over.
