If you let Leah the mermaid buy fish, we can earn quick cash just by fishing, and it can encourage more players to go fishing. And also we do not have to waste inventory space and we do not have to go to the auction house auctioning off somethings that not much players want.

I think this might mess with PH's economy quite a bit. I don't even fish that much and I have plenty of fish rotting in my fish box so I'd get a nice pile of cash for them even if most of them wouldn't sell for a lot.

The difference of selling them in the auction house (from the economy perspective) is that you're receiving money from other users so it's currency already in circulation. If you could sell them to Leah, you'd get brand new PD that didn't exist before.

Different from the Berry Garden, the things you can make at the Beach can already be sold to introduce new PD on site and the amount of pokémon you can get in a day is severely limited.

It's also a lot easier to get excess amounts of berries as opposed to an excess amount of fish.

Honestly, I don't see a problem with selling fishies to Leah, even for the barest minimum of PD or simply new trades with Leah for a wider variety of items. There are too many catchable fish that go unused in Leah's trades, in my opinion.

I suppose you do have a point there and I was being a bit short-sighted. I guess it just seems a lot to me when looking at my piles of fish. :b

bump, and Fin, I fish to the max every day, because the fossils are good for selling. My box is probably more filled than yours.

I guess that could be good, so I don't have so many tentacool in my fishing box

Took some searching to find a thread that had something like this suggested...

But I think that something needs to be done for the fish exchange at the beach. I don't fish nearly as much as I used to, but I still have a bunch of fish in my apparently bottomless fishbox that just sit there. Now, whether it's selling them to Leah, or if some new items for exchange are added that use them up, or even if existing items just get their requirements rotated so that one day, the item needs this and the next time the item comes up, it needs another Pokemon, if we could just implement something that would allow people to use the fish in their fishbox instead of having to just throw them out if they want to empty it, I think that would be better.

a couple suggestions might be:
tasty and delicious bait currently only take Magikarp and Gyarados... maybe they could rotate and the next day you use Tentacool and tentacruel.
For the shiny bait, which takes Squirtle, totodile, and mudkip, perhaps the starters could be rotated? but one day it could be squirtle, totodile, mudkip, then the next day you need Piplup, Oshawott, Froakie. it would use them up, and I'm sure other combinations to swap in for other items would work better.

that's for switching around combinations, that is. if new items are added, they could use Pokemon in the box that don't get used for anything else, and if the feature comes to just selling them to Leah, that's fine too. I just really don't like throwing them away just to get rid of them. seems wasteful.

Just to add my 2 cents to this old suggestion that looks like it was forgotten about.
