Single post in 2024 plans: Round 2!

No questions.

The rank bonuses have yet to be determined. When we know is when anyone else will know! They will need to be manually claimed from the Party page.

The Shelter's role is one of facilitating player interaction within the community by serving as a platform for the release of other players' Daycare eggs and Pokémon. This shared space is integral to the dynamics of the game, particularly in fostering collaboration for the creation of eggs. Without active participation from players in this field, the Shelter would become barren. With this in mind, the changes that are being put forward seek to maintain this setup but also to introduce a level of balance within the features available. While we recognise the importance of the Shelter and its role in assisting PokéDex completion, it is essential that it doesn't become the sole hub for all player activities. In essence, these changes aim to strike a balance. The Shelter should remain a valuable tool for players, but it shouldn't overshadow the diverse array of features that fulfil similar roles. By addressing the Shelter's effectiveness, we hope to encourage players to explore and utilise other aspects of the game, promoting a more well-rounded and overall engaging experience across the platform... Of course, if a user wishes to stick to solely using the Shelter then that is their prerogative, but we want other options to be viable in comparison so that they are at least looked at as an option.

Assuming both Pokemon are of the same species (not just the same evolutionary line), they will have the maximum possible base compatibility under the new system. Actual compatibility will continue to be affected by level, happiness, etc. We are considering eliminating RNG as a factor, in favor of environmental factors such as the V-wave. In the mainline games, you can't breed Tauros eggs unless it's with Ditto. We have already deviated from that in favour of what we have currently. Though we will offer it some consideration. Something worth noting from what was said though, is that Tauros is the one with the special rule to get Paldean Tauros. No matter what you pair it with, you will always have a 50% chance of getting the other parent's egg. Though it's worth noting that getting normal Tauros from the Miltank side is not reducing your chances of getting Paldean Tauros. It cuts into your chance of getting Miltank eggs, that's all. Since you already don't care about getting Miltank eggs if you're going for Paldean Tauros, there's no loss there. It is unknown at this time. The impact of Deltas to breeding hasn't been determined - it may just use the base species type for that but it also may actually use the Delta type. More information will be provided at a later date. They're still tradeable. Depending on how we go with things, pairs will meet and their compatibility will be calculated and stored/saved from there onwards. The only thing that would change it in this instance would be if the recipient of the pair was the OT of one of the traded pair.

So first - absolutely, there was indeed a poll conducted. However, it's crucial to clarify that the poll focused specifically on addressing the existing issue with Ninjask / Shedinja without altering any other aspects of the gameplay. Niet initiated this poll with the intention of finding a solution to the problem he identified at that specific moment. That thread, of course, led to a particular discussion wherein it became evident that the issue extended beyond Shedinja alone. This prompted us to look at the entire situation, leading to a comprehensive buff across the board. While the buffs were necessary for various reasons, maintaining Shedinja with 0 Delta Points is even more necessary because, along with these buffs, it would result in it being disproportionately powerful compared to everything else. It's important to note that the decision to remove the DP value from Shedinja is to ensure that it is not overshadowing other Pokémon. It is a strategic move to ensure a balanced and fair system. With the extensive buffs in place, if we allowed Shedinja to retain its old DP value, it would make it excessively advantageous to pursue compared to other Pokémon. This imbalance contradicts the intended gameplay dynamics because it would enforce hunting a single Pokémon (Nincada) to maximise DP gains. Gains are meant to be, at the very least, roughly equal across the board. Additional consideration was applied to this decision to have Ninjask be worth the full turn-in value, and that is due to the inherent risk that is associated with Nincada's evolution. Keep in mind that obtaining a Shedinja requires a free space in your party or fields, so there is a possibility of players inadvertently missing out on half of their DP turn-in value. In such a case, this would result in a significant loss for players due to a simple oversight. You've answered your own question in the first sentence! "Regarding deltaing specials not hatched by you." -- If you adopt something from the shelter, did you hatch it? c: To joke around a bit less! - It doesn't change the OT, that's always gonna be the person who hatched it, it's just considered foreign for the purposes of breeding compatibility bonuses unless it has actually been traded.

Absolutely not, but it does seem a bit plain! We are exploring options but hey, sometimes simple is the best answer! There are plans for the Q-Fossils, we just haven't gotten around to them yet - that, or the plans will change. We aren't entirely sure at this moment in time. When we are more decided on something, we'll release the information!

It will start opening the parties of the most recently online people who have gone offline! For comparison: The current system stops a user showing up on your clickback list if you have interacted with them even one time. The new system will have a user show up on your clickback list if they have more things in their party than you have made clicks. This does indeed mean that if you have clicked someone 7 times then they will not show up (since your Party caps at 6 Pokémon) whereas someone who you have clicked 3 times will show up if they fill their party, meaning you can click them.

Realistically, you're not going to hit such a hard cap but it can certainly be considered!
