Forum Thread

I don’t care much tho if you compare PH and PFQ, because I don’t know PFQ is.
Honestly, I must say that PokeHeroes is an awesome Pokemon site. I started this game when I randomly clicked a BB code of a Pokemon in Pokemon Legends. At first, I’m so nervous when I first joined here. Thanks to the warm community, I’m now confident. Only one thing I can say:
I love PokeHeroes :3

---

honestly, i hate pokefarm. the mods are EXTREMELY rude, niet has said racist (called black lives matter a terrorist movement) and transphobic ( made fun of someone’s pronouns, calling them stupid.. they were nonbinary i believe) things in their public forums, and has admitted in the staff chat (which was leaked by someone on a different site) that he spent a lot of the money that was meant to just be going to the site on this massive new PC. yeah. the community there is INCREDIBLY rude and i only found like three people that were actually friendly, not counting my sister. the staff have favourites on the forums and if you report those people, YOURE the one to get in trouble. it sucks honestly.

and don’t get my started on the mechanics! the pc boxes made me angry. the clicking was a nightmare. the daycare was innefficiant. the premium cost an arm and a leg. i eventually left after a few months just because it was so horrible. i VASTLY enjoy PH more.

Main reason why I left PFQ is that the economy is horrible. Premium currency (ZC over there) is worth way too much, shinies are worth dirt, melans are worth way too much... I think the issue is that there's just too much happening at once on that site; three currencies, three "specials" (shiny, albino, melan), type race, tournaments where if you don't win then you need to spend an absurd amount of currency to get the newer Pokemon.

Also the pokedex was like the games one, where even if you trade away a Pokemon the data still remains. I don't like that very much. Also one of the things gregoryk mentioned, there's no efficient way to interact on PFQ, which is also a major downside.

I don't know much about moderation and community over there nowadays; I've heard it's pretty bad still. I do remember the old days, on PF1, the staff and Niet were absolute nightmares to deal with. A simple google search shows Niet's incapability to be an admin.

There's things on PFQ I do prefer over PH, such as how megas are done, I think PH's system of mega bubbles and mega stones isn't that great, versus PFQ where they just have the mega stones- a system I much rather prefer. I also like PFQ's shelter idea much better than the tall grass here. Overall, though, I like PH more.

Title: heck no

no cause raikois a lot kinder and garthic keeps asking for personal infoits freaking me out

if garthic is asking for personal info, if you’re a minor, report then to authorities.

Personally I find PH to be a much more welcoming community. No one made an effort to show me around PFQ, tutorial was trash, interacting was inefficient, and currency was hard to obtain. It was nearly impossible for me to navigate PFQ.
PH has just been such a better experience for me, since you could actively interact with the community and everything is much more easily navigable and it is so much easier to obtain the items you need for whatever you plan on doing. I personally will stick with PH, but that's just my opinion.

I personally don't like the clicking on this game. Idk if its changed since I last played over a year ago but it was horrible. On pokefarm I can use my number keys and arrow keys and click through partys or large fields for *hours* but on here I have to use my mouse and I feel like Ima break it and its so freaking loud its annoying. I also like how over there I dont have to own the pokemon to keep the dex...Ive always hated pokemon sites that get rid of the dex when you get rid of/evolve the pokemon. Im also exceptionally confused over here and basically have been since I joined. Pokefarm has a wiki and some pretty helpful people when I have a question. Maybe Ive missed things but here I couldn't find much of anything.


Idk I just prefer pokefarm Q. Maybe its cause I spend most of my time there. Maybe its because it left a better first impression then this site did. Idk but yeah. Those are my opinions.

I personally dislike PFQ. When I didn't know any other Pokemon web games existed, I liked it for what it was worth. I like the melanistics, shinies, and albinos. I like the unique Pokemon variants and the fakemon.

What I don't like is the game itself. Like here, you have to gain clicks for your Pokemon and hatch them. But it takes much longer to click in PFQ. Thankfully most people sort their Pokemon Boxes so it's faster, but I much prefer the clicklists here.

Also, the tutorial is rather lackluster. I'm glad that PH has an in-depth tutorial to help newbies like me figure out what we're supposed to do. Overall, I much prefer PH.

I was in PF before PH, then Kolink decided to vanish it... I was in the most shinies list, so imagine how much time and money was lost there... I guess this is what can happen with intangible things. And I guess that's the reason why I don't put so much effort in this site now.

But yeah Kolink and co were weird, IDK if PFQ has it, but the old PF had a mature forum where they were gross. I still remember details I don't wanna remember lol, and also there were problems with minors and stuff.

It's interesting seeing the differences between the two sites. I only joined PH yesterday but there definitely seems like there's a lot more going on here!

---

UI wise this site kills PF. But, overall content PF has it in the bag. Probably a bigger dev team on their end.

Title: i prefer

the both

I know this thread is 3 months dead but I'm gonna chime in as a multiple-year user of both sites.

I used to be a hardcore PF player a few years ago. I took a good amount of art commissions over there. I was pretty close to hitting arceus rank before I stopped playing. I partially stopped out of lack of interest, but another reason I left is because I saw things I didn't like during my time there. Before you continue reading this, know that I am not trying to "talk smack" about PF. These are observations I made by playing and being involved in the community for years.

Tournament pokemon and the shiny hunting system used to be pretty paywalled a few years ago. I don't know if the tournament pokemon situation changed at all, but shiny hunting was made much more fair to free-to-play users. I don't feel it's necessary to go into detail on how since that was changed a while ago. I will point out that the discussion surrounding fixing the tournament system got a little heated, and that thread is where I saw the most attitude from the site owner.

As far as staff goes, I can't speak too much on that as I tried not to interact with them unless I needed to. That was partially because of what I've seen about the staff. All the problems I personally saw tended to be isolated to the suggestions forum, but there are others that have seen much more nastiness than I did.

As far as the community, it was a mixed bag. Some were nice, others not so much; just like any community. The biggest problems I had with people were in the suggestions forum. The suggestions are where you found out what some people were really like.

I've never had a negative experience on PH yet, never noticed anything pay-to-win yet either. I can't speak about the community here since I haven't really interacted that much during my time tbh. Nobody that has commissioned me for art here in the past has given me any problems. Never had a bad encounter with someone yet, and I hope it stays that way.

I'd say pokefarm is better because there seem to be more things to do. PH isn't really.. engaing for me.

PH is the better 1, i have no idea what pokefarm is trying to make, mega lampent? bug type rats?

---

I think pokefarm is better, since there is more to do, but the problem is its takes longer to hatch eggs in pokefarm then it is in pokeheroes. I'm thinking none of them are actually good, since 1: pokefarm does not have shiny hunts but pokeheroes does although it takes so long to get the pokeradar since you might be too busy to. And 2: because vouchers suck but there's none in the one I think is better (quite) which is, pokefarm. Well there is so many other reasons (so much that I can't fit them all in) so my opinion: none of them are quite good (just a quick note: pls interactions with lugia fam!) ✓

---

Lol I can't seem to agree 0-0

I prefer PFQ as I played it before PH and I’m just used to it. I still like PH but I’m more active on Pokefarm.

not to be somebody who kicks a dead horse, but having spent 3-4 years on pokefarm q & a while on here, i'll have to say that ph gets the shiny gold medal here. i've met most of my long-lasting internet friends on pfq, but there a HANDFUL of terrible people onsite. the moderators approve suggestions only for them to be left to rot in the "approved" section of the suggestion's forum for years. some mods (not naming names, but the head mod is one of them) have said some HORRIBLY racist & transphobic things. one of the mods knowingly leaked a racist conversation they partook in into their journal (not even their mature journal [assuming they have one]) where everyone could see.

they ban ACAB but when somebody is blatantly racist, they turn a blind eye to it. not all of the mods are terrible though, and i dont think they should be dragged down just because of a few rotten apples in the bunch.

on the actual gameplay, i've. never really enjoyed it. it felt VERY p2w with the shiny box (used to charge shiny charms, which help boost your chance of hatching a shiny) costing 2k zophan canisters (20 USD) !!! the ubercharms (upgraded shiny charms) cost 2USD. & the shiny charms cost 1.50 USD. you obviously could play the game without spending a single cent, but it takes a LOT of effort.

i've got even though i've only had short bursts of activity on the site, i'm enjoying my time here !! everyone seems so nice, and the staff here seem really dedicated and easy to approach !! layout-wise, i find it a bit disorganized, & i found it quite hard to navigate when i first joined this site. however, i really do like how the clicklist here is formatted.

i also know that this is quite minor, but thank you @staff team for not making the legendaries gendered. and the fact that cosmoemm's evo isnt dictated by its gender. it genuinely makes me smile c:

I played PFQ before joining PH, and honestly, I prefer PH. Yeah, they have a lot of Fakemon events rather than all the events being basically reskins of existing Pokémon, but PFQ cranks out tournaments WEEKLY and I got tired of them. I like both games, but I just kinda got bored of PFQ after a while and shifted over to PH

---

Actually. i prefer Pokefarm and i only Start a few month ago. I started pokeheroes much longer(4years+) but if i play it it only is interessant for like 1 week and then i need a break. I enyoy Pokefarm way more. I never payed for this side, but you Actually dont need to. You can buy anything from the markt if you have enough credits.The click System is so much easier in my opinion. I dont even have to play this on my pc to click fast and many pokemon. Pokeheroes is still a good site, but i just dont enyoyed it that much i enjoyed pokefarm (my english is not fluent..so please go easy on me and maybe correct me)
