Single post in Finding the right balance (HM vs Shiny hunting)

This is... really interesting. I think I like it a lot. For a long time I felt like the mechanics of melans requiring shinies/albinos to overlap meant that there was always going to be too many S/A and too few melans, just statistically. Buffing melan rates alone is definitely a wise plan. The overclocking business does seem to be cheaper than maintaining HM, which is very nice. I'm still processing it all a bit so I'll probably edit in further comments... but I'm so glad to see changes to S/A rates. I know it'll probably upset some people, but so does every change-- I think this will hopefully breathe some life back into the economy, assuming it's not too little too late.
