I did search forum money and currency but all i found was donation ideas which obviously won't be happening so i'm guessing this idea is not taken so lets start. Color coded to keep your interest plus i was bored.
I think it would be a good idea to have a forum currency system which can be used to buy Pokemon or pay other trainers if they have a level up shop ... ect. For example lets just say that the in forum currency was called
PokeCoins, well if you're looking for a certain Pokemon and some one has it you could offer them
PokeCoins and then at a set time you'd both go in the game itself and who ever is buying the Pokemon could have it gifted to them also that's another thing there should be a gift option not just trade because what if it's someones B-Day and you wanna give them a Pokemon well anyways yea just go in the game and have the Pokemon Gifted and when your back on the forums you pay up the agreed amount (or pay ingame if it's possible to link your
PokeCoins from the forums to the game), or visa versa it doesn't matter who pays or trades first.
Now that you know the main idea here are some things that could make this idea better:
-To earn
PokeCoins you could be active on the Forums or it could be based on how many trainers you beat in battles or both!
-If possible like said before
PokeCoins should be linked from the forums to the game itself making your coins easily accessible anywhere
-Have a section in the forums for Shops where you can buy and sell Pokemon
-
PokeCoins don't just have to be for buying Pokemon but many other things although i can't think of any right now.
PROS: -Easy way to buy and sell Pokemon on the go from your Phone or Laptop... ect
-Will encourage people to be active and get to see how great being part of a community can be
CONS: -Although very unlikely right now the chances of being scammed grow as the community gets larger, but if the accuser has enough proof then the scammer should be banned or stamped as a scammer on their Forum profile for everyone to see and take pro cautions when trying to trade with the user.
The is all please let me know what you think and if it could work which i truly believe it can. I don't get offended easily if you completely hate it and think i'm an idiot please let it out, if you love it and think i'm brilliant (best choice
) then let me know.
