    Well, I feel like there's a thread already for this, but let's see if we can make a change! What do YOU want in the URPG? Please, explain, and don't be an idiot about what you want.

    Honestly, I want a Shiny Charge: A one use item that allows a player to show the shiny coloration of their 'Mon and increase all stats a little. Semi expensive, but worth it.

    @Splus13; it's good that you're coming up with new ideas to help URPG, and I appreciate it a lot! Looking at your idea here, I just want to let you know of a couple things:

    I like shiny Pokemon too! Some are really cool looking 8) URPG allows players to freely use Shiny Pokemon in their stats or even any coloration you want! Your Pokemon are your canvas make them look as you wish =)

    Increasing a Pokemon stats is probably not a great idea for a few reasons: One, the URPG already uses the stats a Pokemon has at level 100 with all Individual Values set to 31 and all effort values set to 0 with Neatral Natures. (To learn more about these things, just ask! But they do basically have no bearing in URPG). Increasing a Pokemon's stats any other way could prove a bit too messy. If you mean a one-time-use item for battle, keep in mind that URPG only creates our own items in very rare circumstances, and they are never battle items. Usually they will be items for using in the Park or used to evolve a Pokemon or change its form.

    Again, I appreciate your input! Try to keep suggestions within the Trainer's Court as well to keep all of our ideas in one place. I'll move this thread there after I post this.

    EVs are max (252 each), not zero. Overall though, I agree increasing stats is a bad idea both for balance reasons and because it would simply be a pain to change the calc so it works.

    It's always nice to hear new ideas though, even though not all will work! Feel free to look around this subforum and check out other things that have been suggested and things currently being worked on.

    Never be sorry for opening up a discussion! One never knows if they never ask/pitch ideas.

    I had an idea of making some kind of Game Corner and have some fun stuff where you can win money (and maybe even Pokemon!).
    Like a Lottery: Every person buy some kind of Lottery Ticket for 250$ , and fron all the nicknames of people who bought a ticket will be chosen 1 person, a winner. He/She will get 250$ * number of participants (example: 3 participants = 750$)

    Lotteries/raffles are usually drafted as events and paired with auctions. You can generally win items, money, or Pokemon from them. They are also free.

    As for a regular money lottery, we have the Donation Pool, in which users get to deposit money (they usually make their money even at get rid of 250s and 75s, etc) and then after the end of the month, a winner is rolled to receive all of it (which usually results in more, as rounding of the amount can occurr).

    The Park and Contest section also have event wheels where you spin and you get a prize, which can be a useful item, money/CC, or a Pokemon.

    Events like the New Life in Easter are also lotteries in which you pay 2k (or more) for a Pokemon egg that is randomly rolled from your stats.

    Because we have several events already that do lottery-like things, it's doubtful we'll have one that sticks around. Harry, our leader, is mostly against gambling outright. Plus, URPG is about merit/effort, and we don't necessarily promote the "let's just give away free things for nothing" all the time.

    Hm.. Ok! Only also wanted to ask do you have New Lifish events not on Easter? It will be nice if you can get Only ghost Pokemon eggs in Halloween or something like that.

    Not at this time, no. Like I said, doing it too often focuses less on merit and just giving free things out for no effort. For Halloween and other holidays, there are usually other types of events going on. Can't have too many events on at once; gets too cluttered!

    Going to go ahead and lock this thread. The original discussion is over, and this thread should not be used over Trainer's Court as a whole as a means of suggesting new ideas. They would just end up getting lost( as if that doesn't happen enough already lel).

    Locked.
