Single post in General Feedback thread

I understand this, though I see no obvious way to customize them, so this is still a potential problem. Nor do I see a way to customize my forum avatar and signature, and if these are stuffed in "More..." and "Settings" alongside all of the other buttons and menus varying from meaningless to moderately helpful, that's a problem too. You still don't need two links in different places going to the same page if one of them is significantly more prominent than the other; it's completely pointless! As for your next point, what if I don't have a summon item? How about an interactive world map? Easy, familiar, intuitive, and especially fitting alongside the general idea of the website. It would allow you to free up a lot of clutter at the very top for other things, too. I figured it'd be obvious, but since it isn't, let's look at this. Why are there two buttons placed to the right, and why does one of the options "seep" into the second line of options? And for some reason, "Dress up" and "Send in trade" are nonsensically sectioned off together despite holding no correspondence or relevance to eachother. Those are my main problems aside from very minor psychological button readjustments. I understand this too; consider creating clothing and the trainers' bodies seperately so you can mix and match clothing too, if you haven't already. I've given plenty already strewn about my post, but if you want me to summarize, I will. The entire top section of the site is cluttered with loooots of junk, to be honest. Wiki and Rules should be either put into one "Important Links" button, or in a page that new users are forced to read upon signing up. Pretty much every single button involving the word "OFF" could be removed and displayed in an inventory page for their respective items, which should also be placed up top, since I'd say an inventory is very significant. Make a shop where people can purchase account upgrades that shows how much they cost for each individual currency, greying out the ones that they cannot be purchased for. The point of this is to be streamlined and simplified, and while it's nothing new, if you're thinking about how it's not "unique," there's no need to be "unique" when it comes to designs like these; at least not when being "unique" requires you to be unintuitive in the process. In essence, don't fix a system that isn't broken. I disagree. You didn't seem to acknowledge my points about the entire sluggish and unfun process of making interactions, and I'd like to know why that is? Scour missions give a very slow rate of credits since the only method to get them from scouring is either obtaining sole credits (which you don't get many of) and selling items. It's faster to do interactions, and even then that's still unbelievably slow. Comparing this relatively small website to an actual, sizeable MMO is quite questionable. This is a simple egg-hatching simulator, which doesn't stack up at all against something as big as Runescape, or WoW, or...you get the idea. It should not be as big of a problem as it is in legitimate MMOs for how unpopular and relatively simple the website is in comparison. I did notice this and appreciate it, though you should still make the website more streamlined and friendly for new players in general. New players aren't going to know about sorted/stacked fields going in the first time, since it just isn't knowledge given to them directly through the website or tutorial. I already covered your "originality" point. By "inferior," I was talking about how it doesn't compare to the actual games in the slightest. And that's why other fangames that do are the ones that get taken down. It has absolutely everything to do with competition, because at a base level, protecting an IP involves proving that you are more capable of handling it than anyone else. An IP is in danger if it has to compete with itself, whether it be with a fangame, or even an officially licensed game. That's why we will never see another XD, another Colisseum, or another Stadium ever again once the main series of Pokemon moves to the Switch, because at that point a 3D console Pokemon game would become infinitely redundant, and turn into sales suicide. Companies want sales, their IPs give them sales, and if they see something that they believe endangers their sales or IP, whether or not you agree with them and their mindset, they will do something to ensure that it is taken down. I'm sorry if you can't accept this, but it is a pattern that I've seen time and time again, and it is in fact how it works every single time. How many of those 100k users are consistently active, though? There's a difference between a total number of users, and an active userbase, which I tried to make apparent in this line: Saying you have 100k users is like saying "i have 100k subscribers" on YouTube when you only average about 5k views per video. If the content you make can’t keep people interested or hooked, people aren't going to stay. There's likely a lot of stagnant profiles within that number, which begs the question as to how popular Pokefarm really is. And that's what I'm trying to get at, because I want to help this site become more successful and popular, since it's obvious you've put a lot of effort into it already. Thank you for your time as well; it's taken me about five hours to write all of these responses, and seeing as it's almost 7 am, I'll be heading off to sleep now.
