Gameplay Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

I wish it had occurred to me earlier that it's WAY better to have actual players running your Join Avenue shops, as visitors can give you as much as 800 points each if they ask to visit a particular shop based on the information you have on one of the players (IE, asking to go to a shopkeeper who's a younger brother).

Huh, odd mistake for Game Freak to make with the PWT.

I wonder if they'll ever offer an actual fix for people who have downloaded it beforehand?

Would someone like to trade keys? I have the Regice key.

PM me on here, please.

Of course, GSC still had a really low level curve regardless. And the wild Pokemon levels never got very high, even in the remakes (which did smooth out the curve much better for trainers)

Maybe for the wild Pokemon, but I felt like the trainer levels were pretty fair. Except for the massive level bump when you get to Red.

Would it have been higher if they made it so that the player couldn't travel back to Kanto? Or do you think Johto is just too small for such a hypothetical scenario to be considered entirely?

No, Johto is too small, it's meant to be an add on to Kanto. I really wish that we'd have a HGSS2 someday where they can expand Johto into a full, independent region.

They kinda did that with the new routes beyond Cinnabar but it wasn't really that significant.

What are they to do? Stretch the distance between the cities or just move some of the gyms?

I don't get what you're referring to.

For HGSS2? I was thinking you would get to explore new areas north and maybe west of where we did in GSCHGSS. But that's enough about that, I'm starting to get into next game speculation territory (God I hate that rule).

How would you guys feel about mini-maps for Caves and places of the sort? Not saying the caves and stuff are hard, but to have a way to know where you have and haven't been and where items still are.

For me, I don't move on to post-game activities until I have the map cleaned out. I just think it would make my job so much easier.

What are your thoughts?

Nah, I think it's fine. That'd ruin the fun of exploration.

better yet, make it so the Map forms as you explore, so you know where you have been, but not where you havn't been.

I like this idea better.

That's what I was thinking. And have a specific quadrant of the map glowing red or something if there's still an item there.

That's pushing it.

A man can dream.

[Excitable Boy]

That's pushing it. I wouldn't mind having accessible mini-maps showing what you've seen, though, especially for places that need Flash.

Maybe for items, just put a star on the map once you've obtained everything or something. That way, you'll know when you're done, but you don't have hints as to what you still need.

I like the marking system so if they utilized it in some way it would be nice. Maybe have the map accessible once you get through the cave or you find it within the cave

[Excitable Boy]

Map within the cave certainly isn't original, but yeah, that's probably the best implementation.

Marking system was stupid, just let that die.

Yes not original but it would keep the cave a surprise until you discover it. It would keep you exploring things for yourself

And ya, that's probably a good idea.

Oh my god if they could add cave maps that would save so much time for me

That's what I'm saying.

It would be so nice for post-game cleaning
