Comments on: The Pokemon will be moving http://www.hmtk.com/archives/the-pokemon-will-be-moving.html It's all in the luck of the dice Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:13:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: HMTKSteve http://www.hmtk.com/archives/the-pokemon-will-be-moving.html#comment-108037 HMTKSteve Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:01:03 +0000 http://www.hmtk.com/archives/the-pokemon-will-be-moving.html#comment-108037 This is going to be rolled out in several phases. Phase 1: Blog (just like what you see here now) Phase 2: Forums (post to trade, battle, whatever) Phase 3: Pokedex (100% searchable and complete) Phase 4: Integrate the entire system so that all users can go into their profile and modify their personal Pokedex as well as list Pokemon for trade/farm. Phase 1 and 2 will be quick to implement. Phase 3 will require a lot of code writing and database filling. Phase 4 will take even more work! Phase 1 should be done in the next two weeks.

I tend to farm tons of pokemon to find one that is the right gender, so i have lots of extras. plus, I can farm all 3 sinnoh starters, bulbasaur, charmander, torchic, and tododile. along with diamond specific guys like aron and cranidos.

Naturally there'd be a list of current farm offers. If we implemented a specific "want list" then any time a new farm went up notifications could be sent to all users seeking that poke. The farmer could even be given a list of people seeking that pokemon. The want list would have to be small, say 5-10 pokes, but users could still get notifications if a poke is offered that they don't have. They just wouldn't be given some sort of priority... we wouldn't want users tagging every poke they don't have as a "want" just to get higher up on the list. Forgot, more details…

But what I'd love to see is to take that a step further and also give the base for the real "farming" Here's how I envision it: I have someone request a Bulbasaur from me. In the process of getting his one, I also hatch a batch of 6. I hop on the site, start an open ended farm offer for the other 5. Once I've traded them all away I take the offer back down. Contact info is stored in my site profile of course, and my friendcode gets tagged onto any farm/comment/whatever I make. The current farmings would go up with a timeframe instead of open ended, unless the farmer wants it open ended. Basically I'd like a system the current farmings would work with, but would also allow any user to put up an offer. Pokedex would cover the have/want bit, yes.

Each poke is assigned avalue, (easy, they are already numbered). The images used need only be the small icons, not full-size sprites. The have/have not needs only be a binary value (1 or 0), cause either you have it or you don't. With something basic like that, then people know what they can offer you for trade, or a more appropriate trade.

Something where we can, of course, list the pokes we can breed and what we're seeking... but also allow for any user to offer up a "farming", heck it could even be open-ended farming. If the user farmed a batch but didn't trade all of them on the farm day they could leave it open until they all get traded (or released to make space for the next farming). I'd love to help with a system like this if one is planned. Only web platform I really know is Ruby on Rails... but I might be inclined to learn other stuff if I gotta :) I’ve actually been tossing the idea of a user system around a bit myself.
