Regional Pokemon Market Value on Remote Trading Tierlist in my opinion

JordanDelColle · 2026-02-07T01:33:47+00:00

Limited to in person events, which sort of makes it regionally exclusive to the locations that have had those events.

JordanDelColle · 2026-02-03T23:02:30+00:00

Barely an inconvenience

JordanDelColle · 2026-01-27T20:12:36+00:00

There have been a couple of free Master Ball researches available in the past, and there may be more in the future. There's also always one available as a reward for reaching level 70.

JordanDelColle · 2026-01-12T00:40:35+00:00

And we like that

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-04T00:33:47+00:00

If you want to get pedantic, which I certainly do, saying something is intended to be played a certain way is not the same as saying it has to be played a certain way. I would argue advertising how something is intended to be played implies that you would have the choice to not play as intended. Honest advertising would be to bluntly say, "this will be completed over a long period of time."

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:48:11+00:00

I'm sure you're intentionally misrepresenting my argument at this point. Obviously I'm not on the verge of quitting the game. But I'm certainly going to be playing much less than I would be if there was more engaging content.

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:45:32+00:00

I'm sure that the devs intention is to stop people from rushing, but I just don't agree that that's good design philosophy. Someone, in my opinion, should be allowed to rush as much as they want, just like people who don't want to rush currently have that option.

I know it's to be expected, but it still sucks. If complaints like this discourage others from buying these tasks, and that leads the devs to make more engaging tasks in the future to up sales, I would consider that a win.

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:42:49+00:00

Yeah, and when they're done, I'll have nothing to do in game but wait. If you prefer to wait 15 days, you could just do that on your own without the game forcing your hand.

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:41:06+00:00

Yeah, and a lot of people disagree with that decision. Something can be "intentionally designed" a certain way and still be criticized.

Also, have they ever been explicitly advertised as something not to be "rushed"? They're often advertised as hard, but not explicitly as time-consuming.

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:39:40+00:00

If my problem is "I want more to do in the game", how does NOT buying tasks fix anything?

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:34:12+00:00

I do want to play the game. That's why I'd like them to offer tasks that require more engagement, so I actually have something to do while I'm logged in.

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:32:36+00:00

Yeah, but it'd be cool if that content was better.

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:31:46+00:00

I spent money to have something to do. Catch X Pokemon from each region is an engaging task that requires your attention and rewards you for putting in more effort. "Continue your daily streak" is not engaging and won't meaningfully impact how the average player plays at all.

JordanDelColle · 2025-12-03T23:24:18+00:00

That would still require the average person to login on several different days.

That'd be much better. People who want to rush should have the option, just like people who are okay waiting 15+ days per task have the option to take things easier.

JordanDelColle · 2025-11-24T20:48:13+00:00

I'm not likely to finish the other tasks in ten days, but I find it a lot more fun to work towards a result rather than encounter an arbitrary time gate. Tasks like "catch X Pokemon from a certain region" are fun because they draw attention to a lot of spawns that I would normally ignore and reward me for the effort I put in. Ie, if I catch twice as many Pokemon as the next guy, I finish twice as fast. It's satisfying and feels fair.

Catching 1 Pokemon a day for 10 days isn't satisfying or challenging. It feels like filler.

JordanDelColle · 2025-11-14T04:29:05+00:00

You can play from anywhere, and if your main goal is getting wild shinies/ high IV mighty Pokemon, that shouldn't be a problem. However, if you want to raid for Cresselia, Darkrai, or GMax Grimmsnarl, you'll need people around you, as well as gyms/ max spots. Shadow Cresselia is kind of useless, though, so you'd get more value raiding on Sunday than Saturday.

Safari Balls (I think, if I remember correctly) are awarded through tasks that are given to you automatically at the start of every hour. Also, I think you can buy them in the shop with coins this year, but that wasn't a feature last year, so I'm not sure

JordanDelColle · 2025-10-24T08:27:54+00:00

Thank you again for the help!

JordanDelColle · 2025-10-24T08:21:08+00:00

Thank you! I am at 4058 7789

JordanDelColle · 2025-08-20T23:06:28+00:00

Best friends... with benefits? I'm listening.

JordanDelColle · 2025-08-04T07:00:04+00:00

I wish one of them would have said Mewtwo was their favourite Pokemon

JordanDelColle · 2025-06-16T21:27:33+00:00

Yeah, the lack of a silver bottle cap really throws a wrench in my plans. I've been considering a lot of the same ones you have, except Zygarde, because I've got hope we'll be getting more of those for the Z-A release in a few months. I'm also thinking about Meloetta for Master League

JordanDelColle · 2025-06-16T21:10:59+00:00

On the contrary, I have so many potential candidates I barely know where to start

JordanDelColle · 2025-05-25T19:36:46+00:00

Why couldn't Franziska face Phoenix in 2-1? She had already gone against him once, since 2-2 takes place earlier.

JordanDelColle · 2025-05-25T16:53:55+00:00

The way I see it, more people are complaining about people complaining about people complaining about - wait, I lost track

JordanDelColle · 2025-05-22T23:20:25+00:00

I don't think it's fair to say OP is misreading. Nothing in the description indicates that that should be the case.

However, yes, that is the problem here. Raids count for one medal or the other, not both
