Is there any word on how the economy will work in this game? Do we just go around and beat other trainers or are there other ways to make money?
-
i'm sure there will be money or else me gfx shop will go out of business :'(
-
Battles, selling items, making the items which you will then sell, completing certain quests, etc, etc.

Basically the standard MMO Economy.
-
I'm really hoping that leaving your pokemon at the Day Care won't be the only way to breed them. Maybe there should an option to buy a house/farm and letting your pokemon run free/have copious amounts of ditto sex
-
one qesion though, do we call it poke-economy or pokeconomy?
-
Both?
-
Fair enough then.
-
on this note, will we be able to open our own stores or at one point tun a daycare or a gym, something in the area of mass money making
-
Gyms make money? No, plus you cannot be a gym leader.
Stores is still not decided and I personally don't see why I would go to a daycare service if I can create my own daycare service...
-
i thought i erased gyms lol sorry, but of course it would have to be a very far experience type ordeal inorder to open a daycare and a store sort of a thing to show experience and earn cash
-
Yea, if you put it that way :)
-
perhaps we could do something along the lines of purchasing a already made store or paying for the build, or even complete several high level needing missions to unlock the opportunity. either way i'd be happy to see any way of mass money making :D
-
Stores (or Player Shops) have been suggested already here: http://pokemon-universe.com/index.php/topic,3707.msg83149.html#msg83149
Feel free to read up about it if you like.
-
much obliged i would enjoy the version of your suggestion but would you have to be online to trade, sell, etc..? i would (as im sure others would too) enjoy a way of earning currency during offline hours
-
That's what I said. Setting up a shop is only for Offline mode.
-
oh then very well lol cant wait to see the turnout
-
Personally, I think that being able to earn money whislt offline wouldn't work. It would not only be lazy, but would also could mess up the economy with some players being able to make money by doing very little.

To add to that the value would decrease if someone can just rack up cash while not online and come back a month
later and be rich

Well, I don't quite like that argument... because when it concerns shops, a player cannot get more money than the money he gets from items and how many items can be put on sale?
But if daycare was put into that, then yes, this can be an issue, though the way I think this would work would be to have some machine/NPC at the place of the pokemon breeder (who won't be online at that time) to make the check ins and outs of their pokemon. Otherwise, people would have their pokemon locked in a daycare they can't even have access to...
-
As I don't plan on using any daycare service I can't really relate to your argument, but yeah that would piss me off.
Another way to look at it is this: Employees. Bam, just like that the offline problem is solved. Being able to "employ" people from all around the world, with different time zones would allow people to have access to any user created business at all times. Still, I don't think you should earn Pokedollars while you are offline, trust me I would take advantage of that, unless your buisness was one that allowed the customers to use it with no moderation of money. They pay, they get to enter and use the service. But that could still breed laziness, so having the money deposited into some kind of bank that the owner then has to withdraw could help with that. Ideas...
-
We should be able to rob stores using an evil pokemon like lovedisk :) j\k y wouldnt we just shop at regular stores? Will breeders breed beter pokemon than the ingame breeders?
-
ingame breeders don't breed your pokemon. They give you an egg and send you on your merry way. Breeders do the nature and IV hunting for you.

I agree that could be a problem, but there are ways to prevent that. One, like Jerry mentioned already, he would earn at most the amount of money his items are worth (he sets the price). That doesn't mean that his items WILL bought, it is just a possibility. Also we can introduce a time limit, which if expires, so does his shop. So he would have to log in and set up a new shop, preventing him to be idle and just gain money. So it would work like an Auction Item on Bid, if the Time expires, it is taken off the bid, and you have to set up a new one.

yeah but u can just keep going back to them untill u have the right nature are u saying that player breeders can choose a pokemons nature because i would think its random for them as well...am i wrong

No you see what he meant is that you don't have to go through that process. The breeder will do that for you.
-
What they could do is have the player "employ" an NPC while offline, that way people can still have access to their pokemon/eggs, and you still get money. Just don't give it to your mom, she'll just spend it on berries and drugs.

Just saying, if you can't spell Luvdisc then you can't make Luvdisc jokes.
-
Um then, you should have to pay the NPC ;D

Actually it was always my dream since Sapphire to be a Pokemon Breeder. Not because of the money (I honestly can say I did not think of that until someone mentioned it a couple of months ago), but because I think running a Pokemon Daycare would be so cool. ^ ^
I would be willing to use pokedollars to pay NPCs to watch the Daycare while I was offline or gone or whatever...I just want to to be able to get a Daycare, even if I had to work for it. :)
I've done something similar in-game before, where I would get friends a certain Pokemon with the good inborn moves and pretty decent stats through the daycare.
-
It sounds cool but I never been a Pokemon Breeder. Just a Pokemon Trainer at Tournaments and more. That's how I earn POKEs.
