Possible bank Option
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → Possible bank OptionYou know how some people save up for things (Pokeradar, auctions, etc) but always spend the money? Well I think there should be an addon for the bank/maybe alarm clock that reminds you to save your money! It could be useful for users who tend to forget things (like me somedays)
I'm sorry if this sounds stupid.
I did a silly x3
But yes, I think they'd go together quite well!
"Ding dong!
Don't forget to save some Pokedollar!"
Or, for the bank, there would be a button that says "Start a Savings Account"(or something like that xD)
Why?
Because, A) this is a really common mechanic that almost every video game and browser game already has, and it just makes sense. It wouldn't already be a thing in the industry if it weren't practical, and as a "kid's" site, it teaches a lesson in practicality and real-world applications. Save aside some pennies today, be able to buy what you want tomorrow. B) two words. Friendly. Charity. There are two types of people on the internet. Those that hold their money to themselves and don't help other users when they ask and those that give everything to give a friend a leg up. I'm one of the second types, I try and help everyone and often end up even more poor than I should be. Forever, I've put in almost as much hours as you, with less months, and by all means I probably should be just as rich as you, but I don't have the mentality to "just save". Like I said in my last post, it's hard when stuff is expensive to just save up if you need something, and it turns into a sand trap that you can't get out of.
Here's an idea I just thought of as I was typing this: Make it so you set a goal for the bank, and then after the goal has been met you can take the Pokedollars out. That's just an idea, though.
Also, here's what my parents always tell me: Put money in a bank, keep some for cheap expenses, and put a good portion of it away for later. If you do this, you're less likely to spend your money all at once, and instead just spend it when you feel strongly about it. It makes your choices better for you, and it could help interacting because if you put Pokedollars into the bank daily, then you will deplete some of your expenses, and are more likely to notice "I'm low on Pokedollars, I should interact to get some more." This is some of the main reasons why I not only agree with, but completely support, this suggestion!
