It is a good idea to have stones for sale; however, i think it would take away from the old Pokemon experience that I loved. Do you know what i mean?

Uh... not quite...
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

If Evolution Stones can be bought, then they need to be a special event, and you should be limited to one until the next event.

That's not a bad idea... but there are so many pokemon evolving using stones... now, I won't make the list up, it might be too long.

So... perhaps making the events a little more frequent if such a feature is introduced?

Or perhaps make the stones 'buyable', but in remote parts of the region, so that there some part of effort in getting them...?

Actually, the eveolution stone event might be a good idea...maybe you should submit that to PU.

I don't see why it has to be frequent, there could be an event where a traveling stone salesman comes, I don't know, four times a year? And you can buy the stones, but not all of them are available every time; Have like fire, water, sun and dawn stones on one event, and others at other times.

 I could see that as a possibility at least.
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

I don't see anything wrong with stones being buyable. Having some type of event to win them would be fun but i just think there are better items to be won other then stones. Maybe they could be a hefty sum or maybe to complete a nice chain of quests before you are able to buy them. I also like the idea of the traveling stone salesman...i would like him to come more often then the 4 times a year but that would keep up the rarity of the stones so i could see that as being a nice number of times for him to appear.  I just would hate for them to be so rare that people sell them for ridiculous amounts.

Maybe stones could be buyable, but for ridiculously high prices, except for a few times a year when the stones get really cheap, like a sale.

That actually sounds like a great idea. Have them high price but for a season or special event have them as a sale.

i think this would be ok as long as they are very high prices, like near the price of a bike(if there is a bike) I wouldnt like to just see everyone walking around with all the evolved forms of eevee's, it should be an accomplishment that you have o work hard for to achieve

Hmm......lets see.

Half of you want to buy them, Half want to earn Stones.

So, There could be Evolution Stone Crafting, The materials needed should alltogether be less than the actual stone.
and have certain stones unable to make until a set skill level.

That way, People can make stones, then Trade to other players.
By loving so many, I have touched their lives and helped them rebirth as well. To be strong is to instill strength in another.

yeah i like that too, it would kinda be like a runescape skill, we could start of with something small like making pokeballs and once you get good enough at it you can make stones, great balls and all that

and you could get the materials to make them randomly in battles with wild pokemon

Or found once in a while in a certain place like volcano for fire, at sea for water, near a mountain for electric, in a cave for moon stone, etc...

Or materials given for quest rewards.

But if we use materials, they have to make sense, In PWO, They had materials, but they were used for multiple items, and didnt make sense.
Example: Give me a plank and some berries, and I will make you a Thunderstone

It isn't Alchemy.
