Well this is pretty self-explanatory; My suggestion is that we should be able to earn Activity Points by fishing at Emera Beach. This would give us a new way of earning APs during Event Distributions.

APs earned from fishing could be categorized under 'Other'. Every successful catch could earn a set amount or AP, or this amount could vary according to the rarity of the catch. The AP limit for each category would remain unchanged and reset every hour.

This would be good especially since many of us are playing the new Emera Beach feature!

Would the amounts be set? Or would it be like coin flip where it gives a small random amount each time you fish?

I think the rate could be 1-2 AP per successful fish.

Yeah, or it could vary according to fish rarity

Has anyone compiled a list of fish rarity yet? I know Toothie's working on a complete Emera Beach guide.

Although I guess in a way I'm working on such a list, I've been keeping a fishing log for the past several days here

Or, alternatively, it could be based on energy-use? Some Pokés require 4% of energy (ie, Magikarp) while others require 8% (ie, starters). Though I'm not too sure how that'd work according to items (they take up 2% energy).

What about a catch escaping? Energy cost is 1%, but should AP be rewarded for something that gets away?

@Argentis, if this does happen, and this is just someone else's opinion, but it could be that you get half of how much percent it takes to do it. Meaning that you wouldn't get anything from not catching something. Just a thought.
Just remember: You can't prove God didn't crawl out of the ocean.

@Shino, that could work, and would stop the numbers from adding up "too quickly". Like catching 5 Tentacools in a row is still 20% of energy and suddenly boom, 20AP.

Or maybe it should be less? Since energy can be renewed by eating food/waiting for it to replenish.

Similar to how one flip at the coin flip gives 1 AP, 1 successful catch should give you 1 AP.

But like I said earlier, more APs could be given for different rarities, depending on Riako if he decides to implement this

I was thinking of this the other day, and was all like 'what if someone else already suggested it?'.

maybe the AP starts at one for easy
2 for medium etc etc.

@DavidS I heard from somewhere that coinflip gives random AP? I don't remember where I heard that from though, so that might be misinformation.

What about hourly cap? Would 50 like Game Center be fair? It is possible to catch 50 things in an hour (or so I've found personally), but not necessarily every hour (see: energy replenishing rate without food)

@Argentis No the this thing should be under the 'Other' category, instead of a separate category.

Implemented!

1% Energy spent = 1 AP in the "Other" category.

Wow. I never see risk comments when I'm online. I feel slightly accomplished (and disappointed because I'm up at 4am and haven't slept)
