Caramel0: "As a fan of incremental games and PBBGs, PokefarmQ is fantastic :D"★★★★★

Posted: 22/Sep/2017 02:19:42 (6 years ago)

(PBBG = persistent browser based game, generally text based games where you click and auto attack 50 times etc) This game is fun for people familiar with pokemon, both for those who were children when Gen 1 came out and haven't caught up much since then (like myself) and for the younger generation alike. Any browser game's community tends to make or break an otherwise well-designed game, and this community is very helpful and friendly. There are a lot of children/teenagers on the site so the site overall is child-friendly, but there are 18+ sections which is a great accommodation IMO. There are account upgrades that need premium currency, but as a free player you can unlock everything including the shiny charms and shiny charm box (which costs £27.50 worth of premium currency) in a few months if you are smart about it. In that sense, this game is not 'pay to win' but 'pay to go faster'. This is a common model these days, and PFQ should be commended for implementing it well. My only criticism is that it can be hard to get started. All the information is provided in FAQ, guides and the wiki, but it may take time to get familiar with the navigation of the site to find that information. Meanwhile the tutorial takes you through sections of the site that are 'optional extras' at this stage (ie fishing, dojo) instead of focusing on the core game. Some examples: - A friend didn't know EXP share existed until I told him (if you had only played pokemon red and blue, you wouldn't know you can share xp amongst all 6 party members like you can in the more recent games and thus wouldn't expect it to be a thing). - It took me about two months before I found the guide that said having a pokemon and an egg of the same line in your party increases the egg XP by 40%. - It also took me a month before someone informed me that clicking the most recent users online instead of "jump" was a more effective way to get clickbacks, IIRC the tutorial tells you only about jump (which I think gives you a random assortment of players online, instead of the most recently active ones). All in all, great time waster 10/10 would play again

bobpaw: "Fun game"★★★★★

Posted: 21/Sep/2017 22:47:07 (6 years ago)

Fun, but can be hard to get important game artefacts. I greatly enjoy playing, but getting the Albino Radar, Pokéradar and Mega-ring was hard. Also, without being online every day or more, the game can be very hard.

ohush: "TLDR: Decent for New Players & Lacking for PF1 Fans"★★★☆☆

Posted: 20/Sep/2017 02:37:46 (6 years ago)

I posted this awhile ago on a feedback thread and I'm going to reiterate it here and with a couple new points. To me, PF1 was, and will always be the best Pokefarm. I started out with nothing on PF1 and ended up being very rich. I did not want to lose it. I loved hunting and collecting shinies. That was the only thing I wanted to do. I never got the Dex filled because I was focused on shinies and boxes. I come on here, when it's open, and find out shinies are very rare to get. It took a very long time for me to get the Pokeradar and the Pokeradar+ and when I got them, I was choked to find out that they don't even chain up to highest chance of getting shinies, so getting shinies is pretty much impossible unless you're very lucky. Also, I am unable to pay for Hypermode. So, getting shinies for me proves to be a challenge unless I can somehow get enough ZC to buy one. That being said, I feel like PFQ was designed to generate more money. I understand that but I do not understand why it is as bad as it is. Most things are very hard to get unless you either pay for it with real money or spend a lot of time trying. Scours, my main way of generating money in PF1, have been severely cut off. You can only send one Pokemon with low chance of bringing back something decent unless you somehow get enough Goldpoke or buy the GP with real money. This is the same for the Shelter Passes. (Which in turn, makes it harder to shiny hunt for people who can't buy Hypermode/GP/ZC) I feel these should be put back to the way they were on PF1. On here, there is a huge gap. There's the very rich people and the regular people. The very rich people are the ones who tend to able to pay real money for things on here. They tend to have a lot of shinies, albinos and the like. Some very rich people may not have ever paid for anything on here in their life, but there is not many. And if they are, they have been playing for a considerably long time. It seems to be very hard for a regular person (who is unable to spend money) on the site to become rich. On PF1, it was generally easier and everyone had equal opportunity. I never paid a cent in my life and I had over 50 summons and nearly three fields full of shinies. I was as rich as the people who did pay money. Perhaps they have done this to give incentive to people to pay money for things. But for the people like me that can't pay, it's really not fun. Also, another critique I have is that the layout for new people is very hard to understand. My friends and I had a hard time trying to figure it out how to get to a lot of pages when we first started on here. It is also generally an eyesore. For the positives, I will say that the community and most staff (besides Niet, from the comments on the lower ratings) are very friendly and willing to help out. I like the idea of the community as a whole working toward a goal with the counters on the right hand side. I am also a big fan of the sprites the art team has created ESPECIALLY the Shinxel. Overall, it is a decent site and may be fun to you if you have the time and/or money to put in. However, in my opinion, it will never live up to its former glory so I cannot give it more stars. This is the reason I, and many other diehard PF1 fans, have quit. I do come back from time to time due to friends dragging me on but I can't see a day where I commit to this regularly. P.S. SHOUTOUT TO GARTHIC WHO IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND.

You're right about it being harder on PFQ: that's because PF1 was unfortunately quite broken indeed. Everyone was rich, so nobody had anything of value, and the game was stale as a result. PFQ was designed to reel back the things you get, to prevent the game from becoming stagnant. As an extreme example, Beast Balls are still selling for over 5 times the price of any other Summon item. If people still had 27 Scour Missions at once, they'd quickly become worthless. It's difficult to explain, but perhaps this quote will help: "When everyone's super, no one will be." For a multiplayer game to have any kind of functional economy, it has to be imbalanced in some way. Official Pokémon titles use "Version Exclusive" Pokémon for this purpose. PFQ has two: people who invest a lot of time, and people who spend a little money. These two kinds of players then become the source of rarer things, and both will gladly sell them to "more casual" players as it helps them boost themselves further. For example, people Melan Hunting a rare Pokémon will gladly sell off their Shinies for a handful of Gold Poké, which a casual player can pick up for free every Friday/Saturday, and every 5 days of being online. The "hardcore" player then accumulates this GP from multiple "casual" players and uses it to buy Daycare Passes and advance their hunt. This kind of thing wouldn't be possible if everyone had access to more GP than they would ever need, as they did on PF1. I would like to hear more about the design issues you're claiming. I'll admit I'm not a designer, I'm a programmer. But I do have a grounding in UI design. So if you have any more specific comments and suggestions regarding this, please send them my way. Contrary to popular belief, I don't bite :p

Sonicgirl341: "my sister got me addicted to this site but I don't regret a single thing"★★★★★

Posted: 19/Sep/2017 08:38:45 (6 years ago)

this place is amazing. the community is kind, and everyone is so caring for each other. I even got to get one of my absolute favorite pokemon (Giratina) and I can contact one of my friends that already moved on to highschool while I'm still stuck at middle school. This place is like a home through a tablet screen, and I don't ever want that to change. I adore the art team's work, and I adore absolutely everything here. My sister helped me sign up and now she's gotten me addicted to this place, but it's still amazing.

I practically eat, sleep, and dream Pokefarm. One of the best games I've ever played and I've tried a lot of games but none as good as this one.
