You use the Science Ticket...
Ding!
Congratulations! You know Science!

If only. xDD

Hm...if players get their own 'experience,' maybe that'll be better. :| Like a stat for Pokball throwing and catching (lol). Higher success rate. xD

Well, I think that may be a good idea... but that should really really be a small increase. You have to think of the newbies. If you're thinking of increasing catching rate by a lot, it'll soon go to 100% catching rate, also meaning that newbies would have to start at a very low one, which is not fun...

Or it would be a little like in Pokemon Ranger. I mean like boosting once the catching rate, or twice only and no more.

But I think this is getting off topic...

So, as for the question of quests, perhaps little errands would do the trick like "Could you sent this message to [character in PU] in [town in PU] for me?" like the 'errands' you run in GSC and HGSS; you take a spearrow with a message from a guy in Goldenrod City to route 31, or taking the medicine from Cianwood to Jasmine, or things like that.
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?

Currently playing Pokemon XY/ORAS/Shuffle and Clash of Clans and testing out PokemonRevolutionOnline and Dragonmon Hunter....
Also, forum notification emails are not getting in my inbox... again...

:| I thought that was the point of being a Newbie. Being weak, Freshmen-like, and having low everything. Besides, having a 100% catch rate would ruin about a fourth of the point of any Pokemon game.

I was more talking this.

The whole point of "Hunting" quest types are to allow the player, should they be in a tough bind or just lazy, to fall back on something they can repeat--after a certain number of whatevers. "Errand" quests usually begin chain quests, leading the player from one "significant" point to the next, which wasn't the goal of this quest idea. ;)
