... I just planned a little hiatus and taking early break even before this water week ends, but now they show this.
Still, I'm not the kind who easily trusts people. I'll just be thankful that none of the Alolan formes are that impacting, although this also pretty much denies my hope of Party AloRaichu....
I also hope I'm just pessimistic, but while it lessened from what I experienced before, multi-accounts still are an issue, and this trading is sadly otherwise devised greatly carefully without them in thought. Still, at least kudos to Ntic for devising this.
The only thing I could think of using this is probably gamble my stardust with someone willing to do it for me to reset IVs of Eevees to perfect one, which is one in 15^3 odd. And that's if someone's willing to, and I'm no fan to gambling anyway due to my lack of faith to RNArceus.
Still, this is also going to make stardust the currency of this game. A
weird currency.
Although hey, as I typed this post, I realised this can also be the currency sink of the game now.
And possibly potent one if movesets are retained, since this could mean people would dump dusts in hope to resetting their legacy stuffs or other awesome stuffs with bad IVs.
Not that I'd even bother touching it even with prospect of the medal. I'm just
that much of stingy strategist with resources and loner with self-reliance and wouldn't like to senselessly dump my resources for medals, unless they reward me unlocking some fairy princess' dress or other fancy outfits to justify the dust dumping.
Seriously though, holy Miltank, I won't be using this trading feature so much, if at all. I could even clean up my Dex on my own and for those that I have never gotten, it'd be like how I'm lazy in re-completing my Dex in AS and U-Sun, except with more deterrent of dust cost and a friend in close proximity instead of easy GTS.
I feel like I want to be excited, but somehow I don't
EDIT: Actually, scratch what is scratched, if what I heard here is true, that apparently traded Pokemon was shown possible range of CP that never exceeds its current, meaning that it's almost always guaranteed to be worse. Surely this needs actual testing once it arrives, but I won't hold my breath. It's possibly for the greater good anyway.
And now I'm getting
really paranoid to the potentials of multi-accounters. Obviously, all these new features needs to be tested, but I'm looking forward to reading a well-written article about potentials of multi-accounting and its effects to the game in the long run.
