New kind of Tournament : Wonder Trade

New kind of Tournament : Wonder Trade Since I joined PFQ and played at the tournaments, I never saw a tourney concerning... Wonder Trade. Even when I checked the tournaments I missed because I was not here yet, none of them were about Wonder Trade. And when I looked at all the suggestions (accepted/refused), none talked about this (if it does, please let me know, I may have missed it). So this is what I'm proposing now : creating a new tournament objective where we need to wonder trade Pokémon to add more diversity, and to maybe help the Wonder Trade system to shine a little more by possibly attracting players that don't really use it. I saw some players complaining about not liking a lot all those hatching tournaments, and for this one hatching is not a necessity if you have a lot of Pokémon you don't need in your fields, or if you have a lot of shelter adopts left. Also, players hunting should still be able to hunt without problems. Of course, like when we're clicking to find bags (maybe a tourney could be created around sparring but this is not the subject here), we'll have to constantly check the Wonder Trade page, something that can be easily done if the page is in another tab (at least for PC, I don't know how it his for other devices). However, unlike fishing that prevent us a lot to click because we need to stay on the page (correct me if I'm wrong), we can still click when we are waiting for our Pokémon to be traded. This tourney could be also a good thing for players that cannot massclick, not because they don't like to massclick, but for health reasons (just an example). Now, what about special mons ? What will happen if we wonder trade a delta, a shiny, an albino, a melan, etc... (will probably not happen but we need to consider this possibility). Well, to prevent a possible "abuse" for points, players will not receive any bonus points for sending a special mons. After all, it happens players send special mons via Wonder Trade without being obligated to, so nothing will change about that. And, of course, because special mons don't give bonus points, it need to be precised to prevent some players to be upset. However, we may grant more points for each unique specie sent, like the tourney asking us to hatch a variety of Pokémon. Ex : if during the entire tourney we sent 5 Magikarp, the first one will grant us 5 points, but the others, only 1 each. This system could also results in 2 differents WT tournaments. One where every Pokémon give 1 point, and one similar to the "hatch a variety of Pokémon" where each unique species give 5 points. Also, in case someone receive a Pokémon right at the end of the tourney, but put it in their fields after because they were busy, sleeping, etc..., the point(s) will not be lost ! You'll receive your point(s) when you receive the Pokémon, not when you put it in your fields, so no worries ! Concerning players that cannot trade because of trade locks, well, it's obvious they cannot play if they cannot trade. New players cannot trade right at the beginning, so they would be excluded from the tourney, but iirc, there's a similar issue with the garden tourney. I'm pretty sure the garden is not available at first. Some may think it's unfair that locked players cannot do the tourney. However, Cele, a mod, clearly stated there that those players earned their lock and so it's normal if they can't do this tourney. Please, do not bring this discussion back. + (14) > It'll add more diversity for the tournaments

---

> Players that cannot massclick can do the tourney

---

> Players that are not fans of hatching tournaments may be interested by this one

---

> It may help new players getting cool or high leveled Pokémon, especially if some players show generosity by sending some special mons

---

> May give the will to players that normally don't Wonder Trade to actually Wonder Trade for the tourney

---

> If you're hunting your hunt should not be impacted because you don't have to hatch eggs to participate

---

> May help players to create breeding pairs more easily if there's a lot of players using Wonder Trade

---

> Nobody is advantaged by boosts, etc...

---

> This tourney can be done during a typerace

---

> As long as you have some Pokémon you don't need, you can participate because there's technically NO LIMIT on how many trade you can do

---

> 2 differents tournaments around Wonder Trade, with one a little more challenging for those wanting a lot of points

---

> Will help to do the Wonder Trade achievement

---

> You get your point(s) when you receive the Pokémon, not when you put it in your fields

---

> If there's a lot of players you'll not have to wait for ages to get a trade done - (6) > Like every tournaments, if you can't play a lot, you may not be able to place in the leaderboard

---

> Maybe there'll be message like "give this Pokémon back" or "send this Pokémon again in WT" despite the Pokémon being not anymore the property of the player that send them (if you're being harassed personally by someone due to this, report them to the staff. DO NOT report them just because the Pokémon is called like that !)

---

> Like the fishing tourney, having to check constantly may be annoying for some, which is understandable (only solution for this is to check time to time but you'll get less points)

---

> No goal are currently decided, I honestly have no idea what the goals could be for both WT tourney, but it's probably something the staff will decide themselves. It's also possible the hard goal is very high, and may be difficult to reach for the tourney where all Pokémon grant just 1 point, meaning you may have to check a lot the Wonder Trade page so you'll have less time for the rest

---

> Some think there's players that will Wonder Trade all day to get as much points as possible, and also that there's a lack of challenge and you just have to sit without doing anything else to do the thing... but we have the same issue for others tourneys (all of them for the as much points as possible part, garden or scour for the sit and do nothing else part). So if that's a cons it's not the only tourney that would have those problems because all the existing one already have the first problem ^^'

---

> There's a lot of ideas for different versions of the tourney (V-wave, egg hatched after x date, egg hatched only by you, etc...), but may be just too much for a lot of players and will probably have the same problems as hatching tourneys. I guess it's to the staff to decide how many different tourneys based around Wonder Trade should be created if it happens (that's why I'll stay with the only two in the pros, doesn't mean the others are bad ideas tho !)
