I've always hated never having enough stones to evolve everything.
Will we be able to buy stones? Or will they be some sort of reward?
Oh, and a forum discussion question:
Do you bother with a pokemon even if you can't fully evolve it because of a lack of a stone/lack of people to trade with?
-
I don't really go out of my way to try and "collect 'em all" in the Pokemon games. Is that just me?
I like to see all the different Pokemon I can, and geek out when I come across a rare one (or just one I haven't seen before... I think I'm pretty familiar with most of the first 4 generations now though), but to answer your question if I like a Pokemon (especially if I particularly like its highest evolution) I will train it up, and if necessary use an evolution stone on it. But even if I don't have access to the required evolution stone I will still usually train them up and have some fun.
Trying to think of an example Pokemon...
Can't atm lol.
-
As long as I can get a fire stone for my Typhlosion/Ninetales Flash Fire combo (if flash fire's in the game), I'm all set lol.
-
Yes, stones should be a feature that is buyable. I would hate having to look for stones. That would be wasted effort. Also, there should be a easier way to get pokemon that evolve through trades. I don't want someone stealing my pokemon that evolves in a trade.

yes.... Let us have it as easy as possible... Some of us still cheats. I can't stand if I should go find or win my own stones...

Maybe if you Q.Q less

I don't know what you mean by Q.Q less.

Q.Q means to cry or complain, the Q's look like eyes with a tear drop :)

If you don't have any friends in PU that you can trust with your pokemon, then maybe you are doing something wrong ;)

i trust you miss Alais

Having friends in PU is not what im worried about. I've played PN before it got C&D ordered. The issue with trades is people backstabbing other people and keeping there pokes. There was some issues of this in PN. I did not experience any of these. It is just what I had heard.
-
The point was that you only need one person you can trust when trading for evolution. If a trainer doesn't have any friends then it's probably his own fault that he can't safely evolve his pokemon, and not an issue with game design.
-
Stones should be Rare and Kept that way.
-

Haha. I'm the same.
Yeah, I liked how I could by them in the first gen! Much better. Now I can't obtain both an arcanine and a ninetails because I only had one firestone):
-
This is a very qood question and I think it would be very beneficial that we are allowed to buy Evolution stones. But, however, it has to be set at a high price ..bcuz it would be like pokeballs everyone has em ..
-
i liked how they could be mined in d/p/pl. not sure if something like that would be possible on here though. would be good if it could but im sure there will be some technical difficulties which would limit something on this scale
-
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...
-
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...?
-
as long as it is possible to get/buy/find all the stones needed to get every pokeon in the game im all set.
-
I think that they should be bought. It is alot easier to buy then find 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.
-
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.

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.
-
For example, a certain stone is an ingredient for the evolution stones, but you must find something, like a lightning orb. You must then combine them at a certain place.

I'd always get really aggrevated in Sapphire/Ruby because there were barely any stones to be found there. I remember starting a new game on Sapphire, and trading a Pichu and Igglybuff from FireRed there to act as "starters" or sorts you could say. Luckily, I think there's ONE Moonstone and ONE Thunderstone (Ievolvedmypikachuthistimelol) to be found in the entire game. But I have absolutely no memory of a Sunstone or Waterstone, unless you traded them for shards (which I could mysteriously never find...)
I liked it a lot more in gen 1 when you could just buy the majority of the stones. Moonstone was the only one you couldn't buy, so it didn't aggrevate the mess out of me and discourage me from using one Pokemon the needed a Stone to evolve. So, I think the stones that are used more to evolve (Thunder,Water,Fire) are better off being bought, while others, like Dusk which have only a couple of evolutions to be gained from them, should be more like quest rewards.
-
I think a Sunstone could be obtained in the Safari Zone of RSE... I'm not quite sure though.
For FRLG though, I'm sure of where it is; in the Sevault Canyon.
-
Ill just train them
-
I would like it if there were NPCs for every pokemon that could be evolved through trade. Such as a person who wanted to trade a Machoke for something, and another to trade a Scyther holding a metal coat for something. That way you don't have trust issues.
Or at least have a way to get your pokemon back if something goes wrong, but that could be more complicated than the first. I do not want to raise a Geodude from level 10 to 50 then have it stolen by someone.
Or here's a thought. Have pokemon that usually evolve through trade just evolve by level. Would that be hard?
-
I don't like using Evolve stones, I like training them
-
I think the best way to solve the trade trust is find someone with the same pokemon, and item. And do it that way, so its a win-win Situation. ;)
-
Yeah, but thats Trade-Evolutions.
Were talking about stones: Thunder/Water/Fire/Leaf/Moon/Dusk/Dawn/Oval Stones..... Theres too many, and difficult to get, So What shall we do?
-
There really are many, but we don't really need a lot. A couple of them should be enough if you use to try to complete your pokedex. If you are planning of getting several of the same pokemon, then that's something else :P
-
I had a Level 100 Machoke, until finally I got a DSi and managed to connect to Wi-Fi, so that I could arrange a trade-trade back with someone. I don't really care if I can't evolve a Pokémon, if you train it right, you could have an unbeatable... Oh, I don't know... Pikachu that for the gayest reasons doesn't WANT to evolve... jackass.
-
Missing the point.
There are people that want evolved Pokemon. Question is, How to get stones?
-
I'm hoping they will be sold in shows, albiet expensively.
-
Shows?? =3
-
Shops. I meant to type shops. Not sure why I accidentally typed show. The W key is nowhere near the P key. Then again, I'm a "hunt and peck" typist anyway. Not like they teach in schools.
-
Well, I never learnt to type the way that normal people do... I just learned by myself.
Going on topic, what I want would be the same about the stones.
Either:
Occasional events with special shops to sell exclusive items.
Special shops dispersed around Myrius.
Any way, I would prefer the price to be not so accessible to an average trainer.
-
Kinda like Mt Stark, in Pt.
You had to be strong to even get to the top, and you had to have a decent amount of Pokedex Data to gain access.
