I'm not sure if this was already posted but i didn't see it if it was.
Anyways...
So in Ruby version (last pokemon game a played) you could basically buy items and customize your own secret hideout (in a tree, bush, or cave). That was one of my favorite random things in the game. The only problem was that you could only set a limited amount of items in your hideout. So I was hoping you guys where planning something like this for this online RPG :D
Basically you'd buy your own items (couches, lamps, poke dolls, ect.), and even friends could come by and check it out, and you could have like a whole "mailing" system and mail box in front of your own place where friends could send you items. Although with the thousands who are going to be playing this, im not sure how this would be made possible.
Anyways just an idea ;P
If anyone wants to add on that's cool too :]
-
After what I know so is this planned to be added in the game.
-
Hmm. It could very well be possible, however, if several hundred people are making bases, I would think the world would become very clogged. Not exactly sure how it would work in an MMO version. However, I do like the idea. I think it's great.
-
Well, the talk that went on in the IRC channel was about player apartments, so pretty much the same thing.
-
Hmm. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how everything plays out. It'll prove to be pretty interesting. xD
-
I agree with carbon XDDDDD
-
Yes, we're planning to make apartments which users can rent and customize to their needs. Note that this feature will not be in the first beta ;)
-
good idea
-
spirit, use your long rambling of ideas attack!
yes, master marik!
...
*ahem*
...
anyway, i am really excited to see this feature, and to receive updates on how it's playing out. but here are a few of my suggestions.
as we know, player customization is key in pokemon, so i propose that players be allowed to upload their own posters to their rooms. this way, if i want to share a picture i recently drew, i can just put it on the wall of my room, and let my friends view it.
this same principle should be employed for music as well, so that my friends can listen to a track list i upload to a jukebox or stereo system in my room.
this would also be a fun feature to have on a pokeradio like they had in gold and silver that attracted different pokemon to you when it was played.
...and while we're at it, why not allow users to have 30second video clips playable through their television sets in their rooms?
okay, as for secret bases (because i loved this feature), i know we're going to be getting apartments, but to me that doesn't mean we can't also have smaller rooms, ala secret bases. you would not be able to store items here, with the exception of decorative items like chairs, and tables, and therefore would not be an identical clone the apartments.
when set as offline, your character could be idle in your room so that friends could come and challenge you (obviously you would be a CPU at this point).
now i know the problem on everyone's mind is with how cluttered the game would get with everyone making secret bases, but i do not feel that this needs to be the case. when people become friends in the game, they should have the opportunity to give each other a ticket as a token of their friendship; this token would be like a secret pass to their friends secret base. only people with your secret ticket would be able to see the entrance to your secret base, so this should drastically decrease the clutter.
also, when you look at your map, you would be able to see a little icon indicating where a friends base is (of course this feature should be toggled)
if you want to add extra fun to this feature, you could also employ that friends need to locate their friends base before being able to find it on their map.
as for the problem if two people build a secret base in the same location..... again, this is easily solved, just have a text box pop up asking which base to enter....simple
im pretty sure there was something else i was going to write here in these regards, but i can't remember what it was, i will get back to you if i remember.
oh, well.... what do you think team?

You know. Instead of Apartments you could have guild houses. And to get a house you need a minimum of x players + fillers. What about that?

Yes, that's also something we will implement, but to own a guild house you need to fit more requirements than for a normal apartment (the only requirement for that is that you can pay the rent).
-
I'm liking this concept more and more, this game is gonna be cooler than world of warcraft!
-
:X But World of Warcraft is boring.
-
is a level system gonna be implemented in the guild system? like leveling up gets a reward, guild banks, more max members, more space in the guild house, stuff like that? =x

Yes

i will make my own guild!! but instead of guilds they should be called organizations

Guild is just a general name, we don't know how we will call them.
As for making your own guild, this can only be done by high level players. And it will not be implemented the first few versions of the game.

i know i am experienced in mmo type games lol though i think Organization would be the proper name for it in the pokemon world because Team rocket, magma, aqua, and galactic are all organizations
-
it'd be cooler to just name your guild/organization w/e you want, which im sure was gonna be like that anyways.
I'm just trying to say the whole guild/organization isn't gonna really matter since the general public will call it what ever they want.

Of course you'll be able to name your own guild/org.
-
ok guessing we should probably get back on topic don't want the godly power of the banhammer coming down on myself
-

I concurr, but the MMO you have to pay to play that I'm stoked about that will impale WOW is Star Wars The Old Republic! At Long Last I can Play in the Star Wars Universe in an Era I love!
-
that looks sick when is it coming outt?
-
Stay on topic.
-
What are you going to do in the guild castle/apartment though? Awe at all the expensive useless furniture you bought like in Platinum? I think you should be able to sell items in your house like a shop and hold your own tournament systems.
-
Tournaments hosted by guilds is an interesting idea. I don't know how hard it would be to implement officially in the game, but guilds could certainly organise them via a website.
Addition by Kamaran:
*This Website*
Not necessarily this website, it could just as easily be hosted on the guild's own pages.
-

They're pushing for a beta within a few months.

We want to make the item system in a way you'll be able to sell ALL items we have in-game to other players and/or npc merchants.

Possibly, yes
-
Oh, will there be dolls like in RSE and GSE? ::)
Perhaps making the system more real by adding:
Players wishing to upgrade the guild/org have to invest some money into it (either immediate upgrade or count-down system, I don't know which of the two you prefer, or will be easier to make for our programmers)
-
Something I just come up with;
After buying a room in an apartment/flat [several flats on each island) you get an code on your trainer card/profile card/profile thingy xD.
If someone wants to visit you in your personal room, they have to go to helpdesk/elevator/NPC and fill in the personal (room)code from the owner of that room.
- They can only enter if the owner is also in the room??
- Or you can put an password on your room??

You'll be able to grant other player access to your house/apartment. If they have access they can always access it even when you're not around.

And was the rest of this idea already worked out? :D

I fully agree with this idea! it would add so much fun to having a home/hideout. If you can get collectibles or trophies in the game you should be able to put them in your house on a shelf or something.
-

Yes, I have already read that ;)
But it doesn't explain how you wanted to give millions of players a house or living place :D
-
Oh, I haven't though of that, Dvys... you raised a good point there.
...
Ok perhaps the simplest way to do it is to make a player's house/apartment visible only to him/her and to his/her friends in the game. The one who doesn't have any friend will only see his/her.
In the case that person has friends, it will automatically mean that they are in the same group/clan/etc and share a common apartment/guild/etc.

How about you go into a special estate agents building (one on each island) and a box comes up where you type in the trainer's name. This will then take you to their house, without the need for all these buildings clogging up the map.
-
Nah. The houses will be on the map and they will be for rent. We will make sure there will be enough houses. Just because we'll actually place the houses on the map doesn't mean we can't create an appartment complex.

Well, that's our problem right? As long as you can get a house.
Renting a house will only be possible by very active players, since they might be expensive.
-
I love how my idea has the most posts and views in this section of the forums. lol >:]
-
Eidt: When havin your own guild house, will we be able to lets say...upgrade the house structure? Just only havin the guild logo is good too.

That is indeed your problem.. I'm sorry that I was trying to help ::)

For those wondering how you fit that many people's houses onto the map, it's a lot like the real world.
Big apartment buildings can hold maybe 100 people, and there can be multiple buildings. For people with enough cash, there will probably be 100 or so individual houses, the ability to rent rooms in random npc's houses in various towns, shared houses (maybe 2-6 bedroom), maybe even beach huts and canal boats!
Player accomodation will be used instead of "filler" buildings that appear in the official games. Because there are so many buildings, there might be a poster or symbol on the outside of buildings which have no purpose other than as player rooms, so you don't waste your time looking inside for quests.

haha sharing houses sounds cool as hell. I'm starting to get real excited now >:D

Maybe in the guilds. members would be able to pitch in to pay the rent. frat house style

That's up to the guild leader. He can just ask for money from his members.
-
If you could update the guild house like was said earlier what if one of the updates was apartment rooms in the guild house? Then the apartment rentals could help pay for the building for the guild.
Also I know the prefix system was suggested as an achievement but wouldn't it make more sense if it was a prefix of your clan. Like sat as an example I'm in Team magma it would say [Mag] Tater160. This would help make it more obvious to rival clans.
-
I like the residence/villa from Platinum is there any possibility to implent that ??
-
What I find not so good about the villa is that you cannot move things around, or add things of your own choice to it.
-
hehe sharing houses ^_^ how fun
-
this will be cool, :) everything should be pretty expensive though because owning a house in a certain area should be a great accomplishment, or even house in different town are differnt prices and some would be nicer than others
-
I'm not really that into the whole roleplaying thing, I'd just like to play the game competivily.. So the house thing, do they have any practical aplicance? For example, does your pokemon get an extra boost of somekind for resting in a homely enviroment? Or maybe your own character? Rested xp has already been denied, so that's out of the picture.. so is the houses only for apperance?? it just seems a bit boring to me.. I don't see why you'd want to spend money on them unless they generate some kind of an advantage.. unless you're a roleplaying person that is.. Do you have anything in mind here? :s

No. Read the FAQs. They won't be catchable.
And what does catching legendaries have to do with customizable home?
