	I am curious about the premade decks. I would like to buy the Vaporeon one right now if you don't mind. ^^ (The Electabuzz one also looks cool, particularly with the Surfing Pikachu, so I might buy it at some point as well, but not right now because I only have enough for one at the moment. XD) [Read more]

	Abomasnow. And, in the most insane coincidence ever, I found her on my birthday. o.o (Of course, my DS' clock was off, so the game didn't KNOW it was my birthday, but it was in real life, so that was shocking. XD) [Read more]

	May I please buy ten packs? ^^ (And do you prefer that the PD is sent before or after the packs? I'm sending it first now, but if that's not preferable to you for any reason, then let me know for the future. ^^) [Read more]

This is amazing!
I do prefer Nessy's idea for Zinnia to yours, ~~Retro Dratini included,~~ since it makes a lot more sense given her role in the official games (although I know you said you forgot about her when you chose the name and she could have a different name, in which case I also support her), but I fully support everything else! That would be so much fun (and given that the last several updates have all featured actual interactive mini games, it's almost definitely something Riako would realistically be able to do)! And we do have an open space in the Town tab, so yeah. XD

There are, in fact, a number of inaccuracies in the sprite. I wouldn't support this if it was just opinion, but in cases where the sprite is actually incorrect as opposed to simply "ugly" in one user's opinion, I do have to express support. Here are all of the inaccuracies I've found (let me know if you see any more):

> The whiskers should be white, not black.
>> This may be because of the model in-game, which makes the whiskers look black; however, that is actually only the outline, which takes up too much of the whisker due to how thin they are. The official art shows that they are, in fact, white.
> The teeth should be white, not yellow.
> The "tusks" feature three points, not one knifelike protrusion.
> There are red protrusions on each of Mega Gyarados' segments, which the sprite used lacks.
> There are blue spikes on the top of the first four segments as well. The current sprite has them all round like normal Gyarados.
> It's difficult to tell because of the angle, but it seems like the "fins" don't line up properly between the top and the bottom.
>> Speaking of the fins, they should have three points, not two.
> Mega Gyarados is a different shade of blue. (Not as important, but the current shade does look too deep and too purplish, so it might as well be listed with the other inaccuracies.)
> The shading of the different segments gives them the wrong shape. They are each (roughly) spherical other than the top four, which have spikes; there shouldn't be separate bulges on the top and the bottom, which the current shading shows.

That said, many of the mistakes are understandable, as they probably did arise from images of poor quality and just generally bad references from the time the sprites were made, which was soon enough after X and Y came out that I don't think they would have been able to see the mistakes. The official art didn't come out until after Mega Gyarados was discovered if I remember correctly. I think too many changes are needed for the sprite to merely be edited, so it would probably have to be remade; however, I thought listing them might help anyway so the spriters watch out for them the second time around.

Hiding it still prevents interaction for anyone who doesn't actively seek out the link to your Pokémon, so I still don't support whether you directly talk about interacting or not. In fact, all I see that you edited is removing mention of things that still apply anyway and are merely implicit rather than explicit, so I don't know how that would change anyone's mind except by tricking people who haven't thought of them. It doesn't address the problem - just gets more people to support by refusing to acknowledge it.
(And no, it doesn't cost more than a normal storage box - following the price you stated in your post, to store 100 Pokémon [the same as a normal box] is only 140k PD, plus 10k per ten Pokémon added, which is not only less than normal box extensions are, but also WAY less than normal boxes cost. Each box costs more than the last, so within just a few boxes, you'd be SAVING money by getting a box that already benefits you with the Pokédex.)

EDIT: Never mind, I am a complete fail. ;-; Sorry!! It's 50k for the first ten, but 10k each per individual slot, not per ten slots. So my calculations were completely wrong. Thank you, A_wild_CHARIZARD, for noticing this. XD
It would be 50,000 + (90 x 10,000), not 50,000 + (9 x 10,000), so that would be 950k for a normal box. Which is indeed way more than a normal box.
Even so, why not just report beggars? With this price, it's way more cost-effective to buy Everstones, so this still wouldn't see any use except as a means to avoid begging, which, as Karp said, not only can, but should be reported. Hiding your Pokémon doesn't stop them from begging to other people, and ignoring the problem instead of simply having beggars dealt with only makes it worse for other people... while costing you way more than a box plus every Everstone you'd need would be worth? Where's the logic in doing that?
Still no support. ~~Although I do apologize for my complete and utter failure at reading the post and determining the price.~~

I support the idea of implementing Pokémon Contests in general wholeheartedly!
However, I do think there needs to be slightly more detail on this, as the method used in the official games would obviously not work due to the differences between games and PH. Perhaps clarity on the Talent Round (move appeals) in particular would help, since, currently, we don't have moves?
I might try to contribute a possible method as well, but since you're the one who initially posted this I figured I should post this first rather than basically stealing your thread by changing your own suggestion in ways you don't agree with or something. XD

BSP_ShayManiac, it simplifies getting GC and makes getting the prizes way too easy. It's incredibly easy for many people to recognize the silhouettes of Pokémon to the point that, while it might take a bit of time, you can, without fail, get as much GC as you want.

In regards to the argument that it's "selfish" to reject a suggestion because it's too easy, it's not at all selfish and it is very different from the example provided.
> Coinflip is luck-based. While it is "easy" to do your part, there is no way to guarantee victory.
> Recognizing silhouettes is skill-based. When it is easy to do something skill-based, it is possible to guarantee victory.
> With Coinflip, you have the potential to lose GC when you lose the game.
> With GUESS THAT POKEMON!!!, you have no potential to lose anything even if you lose the game.
> With GUESS THAT POKEMON!!!, you can easily get infinite GC.
> It does actually negatively affect people by reducing the value of the GC prizes. People who already put in the effort are being undermined by this sudden way to get them with time but almost no effort or luck.

Lastly, for the aforementioned reasons, I also won't support having footprints as an optional "hard mode" if it means having the silhouette mode at all, because the latter is too easy and, as explained above, makes it far too easy to get GC prizes, including the currently valuable Shiny Legendary Beasts and Shiny Manaphy.

In summation:
This does simplify an existing feature in an unnecessary and unfair way (unfair to the people who already did put in the hard work), and I support, as stated previously, exclusively the footprint mode and will not at all support the mode that involves Pokémon silhouettes as a means to obtain GC.

This is entirely unnecessary, as you can simply ignore any offers that aren't what you requested. The PokéHeroes GTS isn't like the official games; you DO already have to approve an offer for the trade to go through. As such, anyone other than the person for whom it is intended can be ignored (you can even let them know in the description so they know why their offers aren't being accepted) and anything that isn't what was agreed on can be refused as well.
It seems like all you think should be added is a notification that someone wants to trade, and I don't think that's necessary.

Keeping your Pokémon unable to level up actually makes a major feature - prevention of evolution and the completion of the Pokédex - way too easy (and it's already easy enough to just buy Everstones for 200 PD each), especially if the boxes cost nearly as much less than normal boxes as your post seems to imply; if anything, they should cost slightly more than normal boxes (by at least as much as the price of the equivalent number of Everstones), because of the evolution prevention I mentioned. I can't support this suggestion.

I don't support.
There's simply no point to this other than to provide an alternative way to get items, and it's already basically a clone of the Golden Slot with different prizes. It makes it easier to get items that don't need to be easier to get, and there's enough incentive to interact as is. All this does is make the site easier.
And don't you dare call people "old-fashioned" for not supporting. You haven't even actually DEFENDED your suggestion - just insulted people for not supporting. That's not how you get support, nor is it okay at all.

	There would also be a Justified align, which is like reading a book - spacing changes so that the text touches both sides equally. I personally support, as I would use it sometimes, and while most people wouldn't find it necessary, it's not like anyone is impeded by its existence or anything. I mean, it's not like centered text causes bodily harm to its readers, right? .w. [Read more]

I don't support, simply because I think this would make it too easy.
I kind of like that they're near-unattainable goals, and you aren't required to get them to fill your Pokédex anyway - if you want to be a completionist, you can't expect your goals to be made easier; that defeats the purpose and undermines the effort of the people who already have gone through the difficulty of getting one. This would lower their value too much, and to be a completionist is to go through the difficulty and be up to the challenge, not to have the challenge reduced just so you can make your way through more of them.
(And while it is unfair that people who have hunted for months are beaten to it by random Shiny Megas, and that some people have chains of three thousand without getting one while others have gotten four Shiny Megas in less than one thousand Eggs total, this wouldn't change that - it would simply reduce their overall value so that their efforts up until this point are even more in vain, since it'd be easier and less luck-based to simply start over with the Shiny Mega Radar and just throw away what they've done so far.)
So while I get where you're coming from (and I apologize if any part of this sounded rude or critical - I wasn't sure how to phrase some of these points, but they weren't meant in such a way at all), I still disagree and don't support. ^^"

	I agree; they should have to accept the gift themselves. Otherwise, you could spam them to fill their boxes, or to fill their party when they're trying to do something that requires an empty slot. [Read more]
