Just a general chat thread for Pokemon Prism! (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?5423-Pokemon-Prism-Adoption-Center) Basically it's a VPP clone that includes Pokemon of multiple different hues (colors), and you can breed Pokemon to get even more colors! Its also HEAVILY based off of and inspired by a website called Pokemon Hue, in-development by a friend of mine!

There's been a bit of chat in the threads, so I thought I'd redirect it here.

You don't have to be participating in Pokemon Prism to post here, but it would be appreciated if you could check it out!

January 16:

--Edited the rules so that Pokemon without an evolution take 30 posts to hatch as opposed to 15.
--Created the Trade Center.

January 17:

--Added a new type of color to the mix: colorless Pokemon! These will not be able to breed, will be completely grayscaled, and will only appear under very rare circumstances. More information about this is available in the Breeding Center thread!

January 20:

--Lightning Dash has joined the party! LD is going to help me out with generating Pokemon and recoloring the sprites. :D

April 3:

--Added a currency system and a bank.

[PTGigi]

Woooo chat! /o/

Questions/thoughts!
A huge difference I notice between this and VPP is that there are features of your Pokemon selected for you, ie color and gender. This could make a situation where you end up getting a Pokemon you may not want (due to the wrong gender or color) or you get a duplicate color. Are there any plans for allowing some kind of a trade system? (I'm going for Absol in all 12 main colors so I'm bound to get a duplicate XD)
Another thought in this vein is maybe to allow people to use "items" that cost a certain amount of posts to change your Pokemon's color or gender?

[Suicune's Fire]

I did ask about trading and I think it is going to become possible. :] I reckon we could even use this thread to do trading. :D

I LOVE THIS AND IT'S AWESOME.

[SassySnivy]

That's kinda the point, so that you post more to get what you're wanting, and to breed for what you're wanting. ^^ So therefore it isn't really given to you off the bat.

Xanthe has previously mentioned a trading system...I actually forgot about that until now. XD I'll figure out a way to implement that.

And as of items to change gender and color, that's not a bad idea...and it wouldn't be difficult to think of limitations for that, but what would we use as the currency? I think that's really the biggest problem there. ^^; If we did use posts as a currency of sorts, how do you guys think we should have it work?

I could implement something that assures that you don't get duplicate colors for the same Pokemon...but then again, I wonder what we'd do if people DO want duplicates. Like for breeding and trading and whatnot.

What do you think? I love suggestions but I don't work alone. xD and I'm glad you guys are having fun with This! I am, too.

By the way, Gigi, I love how you organized your stats! That looks super cool.

I get that's the main point, it was just the introduction to my thought XD
The items could use posts as a currency too. So if you want to adjust one of your Pokemon you have to halt your posts applying to getting a new Pokemon kinda deal maybe?
I feel like duplicates should be a part of the system. I can also see situations where people might want either gender/color duplicates as you said, for trading or breeding.
And thank you! :D It's going to be super awesome when I get all 12 colors of a species =P

[SassySnivy]

True! But I think I'm having a little trouble understanding just what you mean here:

So if you want to adjust one of your Pokemon you have to halt your posts applying to getting a new Pokemon kinda deal maybe?

[Suicune's Fire]

Can I just say, MAKING A FAMILY TREE AFTER LOTS OF BREEDING WILL BE FUN. Although since pokemon can only breed once a week it'll be slower, but oh well. xD I LOVE family trees. *has giant family trees written down for Chao on SA2B*

[PTGigi]

Speed-X sorry for the confusion! Let's say you got an item @100 posts and it needed 30 posts to be paid off/take effect. Between posts 100-130 you couldn't also ask to raise a new Pokemon. So you can't simultaneously raise a new Pokemon and adjust an old one.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

That's a cool idea Gigi! Like instead of asking for a Pokemon once you finished your current one, you would ask for an item and have to pay it off in posts before you can claim another Pokemon or item!

I like the trade idea too!

[SassySnivy]

Oh, so you wouldn't be able to claim another Pokemon or item if you decided to go after an item? If that's the case, we may need to really adjust the "prices" of each item according to certain factors.

Or maybe it could be simultaneously with the Pokemon you're raising? Like, you can only raise 1 Pokemon at a time and save up for 1 item at a time? Or do you guys think that would be unnecessarily confusing?

[Suicune's Fire]

I like that idea too! 8D Sounds good.

I think it would be easier, Speed, to rotate it rather than be able to raise a pokemon and have an item being paid off at the same time. :] And items should cost a hefty amount since changing the pokemon's colour is basically like raising a new one.

[SassySnivy]

Yes, the color-changing feature would definitely cost quite a bit. x] I was thinking, though, why not have other items, too? Similarly we could have a gender switcher, something that influences the color of an adopted Pokemon to be of a color you want, etc!

[Suicune's Fire]

Yeah, why not? 8D Sounds like a plan! Also I wish I could organise my sprites how Gigi did but it's too confusing to put them beside each other. xD Damn forums and their confusing codes.

[Ganyu]

Omg I just discovered that there are other colours obtained from breeding? :o

[SassySnivy]

Yes! They are, indeed. 8D

[PTGigi]

Omg I just discovered that there are other colours obtained from breeding? :o
Yeah it looks like the bred color is halfway between the parent's colors O:

[Suicune's Fire]

xD Ghostwriter, that's half the reason why I breed!

[SassySnivy]

PTGigi: that's precisely how, actually. XD Just taking the average and then rounding down if it's a decimal. :3

[PTGigi]

Out of curiosity, do you account for the other way around? Like if you had 330 and 30 it's closer to go from pink-ish to red-ish for 0/360 as opposed to going the other way to 180 (cyan?)

[SassySnivy]

Yeah, it does depending on which one it's closest to. Fortunately instead of doing the math myself, I take both colors, set them on different layers and make the opacity of the top layer ~50%, then copy the merged image and use the hue it generated. :>

But yes you're exactly right!

[Ganyu]

It's such a pity that I have an estrogen party so far. xD

[Suicune's Fire]

Im beginning to think you just don't read things. xD You breed with other people's pokémon if you want to. Doesn't matter that you have an "estrogen party".

[Ganyu]

Im beginning to think you just don't read things. xD You breed with other people's pokémon if you want to. Doesn't matter that you have an "estrogen party".
Haha, truth be told, I did skim through the threads xD;; Guess I'll put my Strawberrylite up for some night exercise ;3

[Suicune's Fire]

Okay. x) I don't know if anyone else has anything that can breed with her though. xD

[PTGigi]

Yeah, it does depending on which one it's closest to. Fortunately instead of doing the math myself, I take both colors, set them on different layers and make the opacity of the top layer ~50%, then copy the merged image and use the hue it generated. :>

Well that's smarter than what I was thinking XD

[SassySnivy]

Just don't hesitate to add a comment if you want to ask a question or suggest anything else. Even if you think it sounds like a stupid question, I don't bite.

[PTGigi]

Any plans for how Legendary Pokemon will be obtained? O: i want mah rainbow mewtwo army X3

[SassySnivy]

Not that I know of as of now. Legends will have to be pretty special events. Unless maybe you got an idea! :3 Otherwise I'd need to figure out how I'd implement them. I'd wanna do something different from VPP. ^^

Also, guys, I'm trying to think up names for the following types of items to sell for posts (or more ideas for items):

An item that allows you to breed a Pokemon again before its week is over - 15 posts (these are just guesstimates for now)
Item that lets you pick the resulting color of the next offspring so long as you already have a Pokemon of that color currently in possession - 50 posts
Item that lets you change the color of any of your Pokemon so long as it is no more than 30 hues away - 25 posts
^ Might have 20-hues-away and 10-hues-away variations costing fewer, maybe (maybe the 20 one could cost 45 and the one after could cost 75 or 60)
Item that lets you change a Pokemon's gender - 15 posts (want to make sure that this one is cheaper than most others)
Item that influences (lets you choose) the color of the next Pokemon you adopt from the adoption center, so long as it's a "pure" color - 30 posts
Item that permanently lets you raise two Pokemon at one time - 100 posts, at the very least
And I'm thinking maybe it will be a little more practical to let people raise posts for items along with Pokemon. I think they'd need to raise posts for the item before they can actually use it, though.

[PTGigi]

Sadly I have no ideas for Legendaries :C


Item that permanently lets you raise two Pokemon at one time - 100 posts, at the very least
*intense stare*

I'll offer some suggestions, though they many not be the best XD

Pheromones - An item that allows you to breed a Pokemon again before its week is over - 15 posts (these are just guesstimates for now)
DNA Primer - Item that lets you pick the resulting color of the next offspring so long as you already have a Pokemon of that color currently in possession - 50 posts
DNA Palette # (#=hue change) - Item that lets you change the color of any of your Pokemon so long as it is no more than 30 hues away - 25 posts
Gender Swap - Item that lets you change a Pokemon's gender - 15 posts (want to make sure that this one is cheaper than most others)
Writ of Color/Palette/Paint/??? - Item that influences (lets you choose) the color of the next Pokemon you adopt from the adoption center, so long as it's a "pure" color - 30 posts
Breeder Application - Item that permanently lets you raise two Pokemon at one time - 100 posts, at the very least

Had another thought! What about grey/colorless Pokemon? O:
Had another question! What do you do about Pokemon exactly opposite? Like 0 and 180 are the same distance between 90 and 270. How do you decide which direction to go then? Though the color it spits out is technically grey...maybe that's how you get grey Pokemon? =P

[Corey]

Are there any plans for Mega Evolution? I really like Mawile, hence my asking! I'd think they'd be something that's like x more posts to complete, but get some sort of a benefit. :p

[Ganyu]

PTGigi I love those suggestions (as a biology student) especially Pheromones and DNA Primer XD

I've only got a few name ideas so far. Feel free to use them if you like~
In-hue-ritance: Item that lets you pick the resulting color of the next offspring so long as you already have a Pokemon of that color currently in possession - 50 posts

Pedigree Palette: Item that influences (lets you choose) the color of the next Pokemon you adopt from the adoption center, so long as it's a "pure" color - 30 posts

[SassySnivy]

YES TO ALL OF THESE. I LOVE THESE NAMES SO MUCH <3333

You guys are way better at thinking up names than me. xD

And as for your question, Gigi, that's a good question! I'm not sure, I'll actually check.
OH MY GOD. That is SO wicked! It actually DOES turn into a gray, because they cancel each other out. That is super cool! Maybe those grays (the ones that cancel each other out) will be special, rare colors that are infertile because of the lack of color compatibility between the parents. Because this is focused on hue and hue only. Would you imagine if it was focused on Saturation, too? xD That'd be crazy, and crazy-hard to accomodate for in the recolors. So for now if we get a "gray," we'll treat it as a special wild card of sorts to commend you for your unbelievably awesome breeding efforts. >w<

And Corey, I honestly thought about Megas at first but I really can't figure out a way to implement them since they are more like form changes in the sense that they're temporary. If I do include Megas I'd like to include another super cool thing about them. If you have any ideas then feel free to share!


Also Gigi I totally want to thank you for bringing that up because my friend Bennett and I, I think, totally overlooked that. x]

[Suicune's Fire]

THE IDEA FOR GREY ONES SOUNDS AWESOME. I like the item idea a lot too!

Maybe the Megas thing could be an item? It could have no special benefits other than an appearance change. x) Maybe for your friend's site it would give them battle benefits though. xD

[SassySnivy]

I actually JUST now implemented the colorless Pokemon. 8D Also, it will have to be two colors that are exact opposites to each other; otherwise, even if the outcome of mixing the two colors does happen to result in a greyish color, it won't be colorless unless the numbers are pretty much exact opposites. (Leeway of 1 little digit of 1). This will hopefully make it so that for people who want to mix colors, this won't be like a semi common occurrence...and at the same time, makes it more challenging to get them for those collector types of people.

I'm going to try to work on implementing the items tonight or tomorrow. It'll be its own separate thread, I'm sure.

Also unfortunately I don't think PH will have ANY alternate forms of ANY kind for the beginning stages of development. Have to figure out a way to implement them more easily later down the road.

(Word of the day: implement)

[PTGigi]

Yay greyscale Pokemon :D And glad I could help ^-^

Out of curiosity, when will Pokemon Hue be up? It sounds like a really cool idea O:

Also I got the first duplicate Pokemon! I'm now the proud owner of two Yellow Absols =P Different gender though, so I think I'll keep both of them for breeding purposes~

[Ganyu]

I wonder what was the inspiration for Pokemon Hue. It's a fascinating idea and I feel like I have to write something about it.

Congrats Gigi (can I call you that?)~ ^^

[Caite-chan]

I just realized I have the same Pokemon for VPP and this. xD

[SassySnivy]

Well I think I got your answer here, Ghostwriter. xD

Well I ended up getting some people preeeettty interested in Pokemon Hue. Someone is wanting to know where you got the inspiration for it. x]
[11:00:37 PM] iPokemon Coder: I honestly don't know
[11:00:58 PM] iPokemon Coder: I had made my little brother a little game with pokemon to buy and sher
[11:01:25 PM] iPokemon Coder: And I was just like, what if you could get them colored differently

So two people lol
[11:06:12 PM] iPokemon Coder: And who knows when it's gonna be up
[11:06:19 PM] iPokemon Coder: It's not my full time job lol

[Caite-chan]

Well tell 'em it needs to be their full time job. xDD It's to awesome not to.

[Suicune's Fire]

And if he's looking for employees... ;D

[PTGigi]

Congrats Gigi (can I call you that?)~ ^^
Of course! As my user title states, "I'm Gigi" =P

I just looked at the breeding thread. We now have 4 yellow Absol XD

[Corey]

I'd say Megas could either be like VPP, where they're optional and purely for aesthetic, or they could be something special. I really don't have any ideas. ;-; Perhaps a Mega Stone could be an item you buy that functions like multiple items, but at a slightly lower cost than all the items individually. It's really up to you, this is your thing after all! :)

[SassySnivy]

I know that this is up to me,.I just enjoy seeing what others have to say / their suggestions, opinions, etc. ^^

[PTGigi]

*waves* I coded a thing that'll tell you what breeding combinations will produce if you're like me and wondering what to breed C: Only input the colors of compatible Pokemon though, because it just takes color input. Underlined colors are one of the main 12 colors. The code outputs a table with males are on the left and females are on top. To change what colors are being used edit the "female=[#,#];" and "male=[#,#];" lines at the top. Add in your Pokemon's colors with a comma following each C:


<script>
female=[0,30,60,90,120,150,180,210,240,270,300,330];
male=[0,30,60,90,120,150,180,210,240,270,300,330];
x="<table border='1'>";
for(i=0;i<=male.length;i++){
x+="<tr>";
for(j=0;j<=female.length;j++){
x+="<td>";
if(i==0 && j==0) x+="<b>M/F</b>"; //[0,0]
else if(i==0) x+="<b>"+clr(female[j-1])+"</b>"; //female header
else if(j==0) x+="<b>"+clr( male[i-1])+"</b>"; //male header
else {
f=female[j-1], m=male[i-1];
if(f==m) x+=clr(f);
else {
val=(f+m)/2;

high=f,low=m;
if(f<m) high=m,low=f;

if(high-low==180) x+="Grey";
else{
val2=((360-high)+low)/2;
val3=val2+high;
if(val2+high>360) val3=val2+low;

if(val-low<val2) x+=clr(val);
else x+=clr(val3);
}
}
} x+"</td>";
} x+="</tr>";
} x+="</table>";
document.write(x);
function clr(num){
if(num%30==0) return "<span style='color:hsl("+num+",100%,50%)'><u>"+num+"</u></span>";
return "<span style='color:hsl("+num+",100%,50%)'>"+num+"</span>";
}</script>

Let me know if there's any issues with what the numbers are spitting out! If you need a place to paste the code to use it, I recommend this site (http://htmledit.squarefree.com/).

[SassySnivy]

DFSKJFSLFKDNJKNFjdnFJhdfiuhawenfewbufbw nc OH MY GOD THAT IS SO COOL 8D
Did you write up that entire script yourself? o A o

But nonetheless I actually know of a really cool site that allows for semi-permanent HTML hosting, called pasteHTML. Click here to see the table! (http://pastehtml.com/view/ey14y5ywy.html)

Thank you so freaking much. I am TOTALLY adding that to the Breeding Center OP. 8D

[PTGigi]

Glad I could help! ^-^ And yes I coded that myself while watching Sharknado 2 C: Was looking to see what combinations my Absols could make (so I narrowed it down to just the male and female colors I had). I might make some more adjustments down the line to make it more user friendly though (like making it so you can add/remove colors)

Though for some reason I can't see the table when I click your link D:

[SassySnivy]

I had to manually copy that link from my phone to my computer because work has pasteHTML carelessly filtered out. >_> What do you end up seeing?

[PTGigi]

Absolutely nothing, a blank screen.
I can post the code on one of my sites and give you the link to use. I'm currently in the process of updating it as well C:

EDIT: here you go! http://giginuzlocke.weebly.com/prism.html

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

That chart is really impressive Gigi! :O

[Ganyu]

I can confirm that I too can't see the link. Gigi's one works fine~ ^u^

[SassySnivy]

Wheeee~ I added that to the first post of the breeding center. I actually didn't realize that was ALSO a table that allowed you to put your own inputs in! Awesome~
PTGigi
Hey, I think I might have caught something overlooked in your script, maybe. With colors that ALMOST but not quite cancel each other out, anyway. Anyway, my program is telling me that the average between 90 and 285 (for instance), is 2; however, your table is telling me that it's 83. Do you have it so that it wraps around and finds the average the other way if that's the closest way to do so? (i.e.: the two colors are closer together if looked at it going RIGHT, rather than if you were going left)

Just wanted to let you know! :3

[Suicune's Fire]

GIGI THAT IS SO AWESOME AND YOU'RE COOL AND I HAVE NOT A CLUE HOW TO CODE.

Speed, do ya reckon your friend would eventually introduced multicoloured pokemon? xD I imagine that'd be pretty complex, especially with breeding, but a two-coloured pokemon would be cool. :3 Well, I mean, zangoose for instance are technically dual coloured, but for another one to be introduced, like blue and red.

[Ganyu]

I just realized that my Zoroark is Lime Green. :o Is that supposed to be normal since it's not a pure?

[PTGigi]

Sorry about that Speed-X! Double checked my math and found the issue, should be all fixed now! =P

Ghostwriter I think your Zorua was dropped on it's head as an egg X3 Because 190% would be between Cyan and Blue, not Green. There's also no Lime Green pure color but there is a Yellow-Green at 90% so maybe a 1 accidentally was put at the beginning of the number?

Suicune's Fire Thank you! C:

[SassySnivy]

Yeah, the 190% thing I think was a typo on my part. It actually is 90%.

@Xanthe: there is a rare variety called "fallout" Pokemon. They are put through a certain Photoshop filter...they're supposed to look rainbow-like But they're actually pretty eye-blinding. But I'm not complaining, filters ftw. x] Gets things done faster.

Awesomeness, Gigi! I figured it was something overlooked. Good thing it wasn't a big issue! :3

[PTGigi]

Yeah, at least it wasn't like earlier where it was giving me hues above 360 XD

I think I've reached the point where I have enough Absols to be able to chain breed the rest O: Of course I have to wait awhile to get some of them ready to breed XD

[SassySnivy]

The color/hue wheel is really complicated when it comes to applying algebra to it. Imho at least, but then again I can't math very well anyway. If I find any more bugs I'll be sure to let you know. ^^

[PTGigi]

I love that you're mixing up the sprites being used! C:

[SassySnivy]

Thanks! I like to try to keep things interesting both for you guys and myself. xD

Pretty soon I'm gonna show Lightning Dash the ropes a little bit and he's going to help me with approving stuff and recoloring the sprites. So...yay! It's good to have help! :D

Edit:...you know, I should really work on item / item shop implementation tomorrow. ._.

[Suicune's Fire]

I agree. xD I like that too! It gives each pokemon a different personality. xD Wewt!

[PTGigi]

That's great that you got help! Having a short time in addition to sprites meant that'd be a lot of work for just one person. I was going to offer but it looks like that job is taken now! XD Good luck to Lightning Dash and if you even need another helper feel free to ask me if you want =P

EDIT: Speed-X had an idea for Legendary Pokemon! totally not because I'm already going for this Since getting the 12 main colors of a species is difficult no matter what way you cut it, maybe completing a set could earn you a Legendary Pokemon?

[SassySnivy]

That's actually a pretty good idea! Though with those new items introduced, that would make this task too easy. Maybe we should have them complete a rainbow of pures for several different species? I'll think on that some more! :D

[PTGigi]

That sounds like a good C:

You could potentially have differing sets needed for different Legendaries either different amounts or different types. Or maybe even just different requirements like Mewtwo needs you to have X number of "Purple" (range specified) Pokemon, Raikou needs X number of "Yellow" Electric Pokemon, Ho-oh needs you to have 3 complete rainbow sets, Lugia needs 2 complete sets of a Water/Psychic/Flying type, etc.

[SassySnivy]

OH MY GOD THAT IS SO COOL 8D I'm really liking the color idea. Have x amount of these colors to get this legendary. Legendaries can be adopted and are one of a kind...or at least, maybe it takes a month for that legend to be able to be adopted again. Or it could rotate like VPP. I'll totally start work on implementation of this here. :D Maybe the types would also come into play, but we'd probably have to make it so that the excessiveness depends on the legendary. Like, rather than requiring a type and color combination for the legendary beast trio, we could do that for events. Or maybe that actually would be really cool to do for legendary trios.

Edit: scratch that, we can save event legends (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys*, Shaymin, Darkrai, Arceus, Meloetta, Genesect, Keldeo, Diancie, Hoopa, Volcanion) for promotional events and such. :D

*-because Deoxys wasn't really an event in ORAS so idk

[SassySnivy]

Update: I've added a couple more rules / bullet-points in the Adoption Center (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?5423-Pokemon-Prism-Adoption-Center) and Breeding Center. (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?5424-Pokemon-Prism-Breeding-Center) They're pretty important, so I'd take a look at them if I were you! I'll tag everyone just in case.

Okie-dokie, checked it out.

[PTGigi]

Read the updates! C: I might as well offer my help again if you'd like X3

7/12 Absol colors so far! :D Just need 0, 150, 180, 210, and 240. Got combinations for 0, 150, and 240 at least so hopefully those will be the right genders to chain breed 180 and 210 C:
Going for Rapidash next/simultaneously too~ Only 3/12 colors there and so far they've all been female X3

Thinking of going after an Eevee evo, Ampharos, Flygon, Alakazam, or something else entirely after that. Not sure though X3

Not sure if this has been discussed before (90% sure is hasn't, ban me if otherwise), but what if you...don't want an egg from the breeding center? xD I wanted to help Xanthe out by getting her a colorless Pokemon, but I myself don't really want Absol. Hopefully this doesn't sound ungrateful! Ideally, you could choose whether or not to take the egg, like the Daycare Centers in the games.

[SassySnivy]

I don't see why not! I mean, your Pokemon will still have to go through the breeding grace period, whether the trainer likes it or not. But in all honesty I see nothing wrong with allowing people to reject an egg if they don't want it. Thanks for bringing that up!

Yeah, awesome! I want to get all the Pokemon (except Diancie, of course) done before I start poppin' out eggs or start any other Pokemon. :')

[SassySnivy]

Well, trying to work out how legends will work right now. It'll be like a system like VPP where you need to obtain certain Pokemon to get certain legendaries; and the selection will also rotate every so often. Since the requirements, however, are already pretty difficult as is, I don't think I'll do a one-legend-per-person thing. First come, first serve. Like with VPP, if the requirement calls for one or the other type, one Pokemon only counts for ONE type. For instance, if the criteria call for 5 Grass-types and 5 Water-types, then Ludicolo can only count for ONE Water or Grass "credit."

These will not require pures (unless otherwise stated), so the ranges in parenthesis basically say what hue numbers count as what color "credit." Anyway, I'd like to know what you guys think. Too excessive? Too easy?

[Noblejanobii]

There's no Shaymin on this list.

[SassySnivy]

Nope, event Pokemon will be distributed for special events. :P

[Ganyu]

I think legendaries should have both type and color requirements. Since type is way too easy to obtain since you get the type regardless of hue, the type:color ratio could be 1:3 or 1:4, so like 1 Ice type AND 4 Indigo for Articuno. (And pokemon can't be reused for type and color at the same time.)

[PTGigi]

Mega Mewtwo X/Y aren't on the list and they aren't event Legendaries :C

Legendary colors will be random I assume?

[SassySnivy]

Still though, some legends are more rare than others. Gotta give people some relatively-easy ones. I'm a little confused to what you mean, though.

Oh! I forgot about Mega Mewtwo. And yeah, they'll be totally random. Out of ANY possible color.

Also, I dunno if I need to clarify but one Pokemon can only count toward one legend. Meaning if I used my Serperior for a Virizion credit, I can't use it again for...oh, say, Shaymin assuming Shaymin wasn't an event Pokemon.

[Ganyu]

What I basically meant to say that the requirements for legendaries should be type and color based. So basically remove the word 'or' to put it simply xD The type:color ratio is up to you as you see fit, 'twas just a suggestion on my part.

[Corey]

Legendaries need to be difficult to get, because if there's only one, then they has to be enough to last until more legendaries come out. I don't think we'll have a problem with that, though. I don't really have any ideas. xD

[SassySnivy]

I see better what you guys mean now. Yeah, with all the items it WOULD make things too easy and we want this to be like a race but also a project for people to work towards. Also the legendaries will rotate. The gens that they're from, I mean. :P I REALLY want to make this both difficult but as balanced as possible, so if this new reworking seems excessively difficult in a not-cool way please do let me know. :D Thanks for all the feedback you guys.

For examples like Articuno, if it's an Ice-type that's also indigo do you think that should just count as one? Or...nah, let's count that as two, maybe.

Tbh I only got rid of the and/ors. I just need feedback on if it's too hard or not balanced enough or whatever xD

[Ganyu]

The numbers look balanced enough. Not too high and not too obtainable in a week xD And yea, for your Articuno example, it'd be better to count it as one. Pokemon used for color cannot be used for type and vice versa~

[SassySnivy]

Thanks for your feedback, Ghostwriter! I figure that the best feedback comes from the players of a game. x] Before I figure out how to implement them, I think I'll wait a bit longer and see if anyone else has anything else to say! 8D

[PTGigi]

Looks good to me!

Question! Would we be allowed to draw and use our own images? The sprites are wonderful but I keep wanting to draw some rainbow'mon to use =P I guess my reason for asking is (as I assume it'd be okay to replace the images on the stats page), is that if I started to do this I wouldn't want you or LD to take the time to make an image I wouldn't be using. So when I'd ask for a Pokemon I'd include a note that I'd be drawing my own image, wait to be given the gender, hue, and post count; draw the Pokemon to be used, and then post to get it leveled up.

[SassySnivy]

If you'd like to create your own images, in all honesty I really wouldn't mind at all. I may still recolor a sprite for archiving purposes, though. But yeah, if you feel like drawin' you up sum rainbow pogeymanz then please feel free to! :D Any kind of cosmetic customization is allowed, so long as you try to stick to its color!

[PTGigi]

Of course I get art block when I ask that |D Maybe some other day I'll go back through my stats page and draw them all X3

[SassySnivy]

GUESS WHAT GUYS MEGA EVOLUTIONS AND LEGENDS ARE A THING NOW!!! GO CRAZY.

I still have to add the Mega Items to the shop, though.

[PTGigi]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees now I'm tempted to code something to give a progress bar towards legendary pokemon XD

[SassySnivy]

DO IT. How would that work, though? I guess just a personal thing for each user to use if they wish?

You making these scripts and stuff is so awesome. I know you probably don't think it's much...but it's. So. Much. Help. AND it makes the game more immersive, too!! And convenient. You have NO IDEA how much your chart has helped me.

Never did I think Prism would be so active. T v T MY BABY IS GROWING UP AAAAAAA

[PTGigi]

Glad I could help! ^-^ It'd be something people have to keep up for themselves. Especially since you're going to have to fill in all your Pokemon. And I'm glad that chart is helpful! It's helpful for me too XD

I know I've offered a few times but I figure I should offer at least one more time if you'd like my help for making the sprites or managing anything because I'd love to help more! C:

[SassySnivy]

In all honesty, I could always use more helpers with the sprites. I'll see if I can send you a PM with like a guide of sorts to help you get started. I mean you're like pretty much the most active player of PCBL. If you'd really like to help with the sprites and such then you're more than welcome to! Just don't view it as a responsibility, cause it seems like you already do a lot anyway. :3 so yeah, just don't let it stress you out!

I'll have to make a little list of people who can approve posts and such here in a little while.

And yeah, that progress script would be super super cool if you'd like to make something like that! :D Maybe it could be a progress bar with a checklist of sub goals or something along the way.

[ZrowNoodles]

I wanna play too! ' ^' How does one start? .n.

[PTGigi]

ZrowNoodles go to the Adoption Center (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?5423-Pokemon-Prism-Adoption-Center) and follow the instructions there C:

[Ganyu]

GUESS WHAT GUYS MEGA EVOLUTIONS AND LEGENDS ARE A THING NOW!!! GO CRAZY.

I still have to add the Mega Items to the shop, though.

Late to this but WOOHOO.

I bet Gigi's gonna be the first to be a Mega trainer; look at her Absols! XD

I wish I contribute somehow but I can't sprite ;;

[Lovecraft]

Hello people!
(What would your opinion on possible fake evolutions be? Even if only aesthetic for ****s and giggles)

[PTGigi]

Late to this but WOOHOO.

I bet Gigi's gonna be the first to be a Mega trainer; look at her Absols! XD

But see, here's my problem: do I...
...Mega Evolve all my Absols
OR
...get 13 more Absols (one in each colors + colorless) and Mega Evolve those so I have 13 normal and 13 Mega Absols!?

But first I need to get Mewtwo. /o/

[ZrowNoodles]

I started at 13 posts and now I have 100+ \o/

Also, I've raised two pokemons so far. .w. I'm feeling pretty good. ^w^

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Hello people!
(What would your opinion on possible fake evolutions be? Even if only aesthetic for ****s and giggles)

That would be kind of cool. The best thing about these games are there are no real restrictions. :D

[Ganyu]

Hello people!
(What would your opinion on possible fake evolutions be? Even if only aesthetic for ****s and giggles)

Hmm, how would that work? XD

[Lovecraft]

Normally I suppose. Like, do you have that fake (mega) (pre)evolution you'd love to see?
If you can get a sprite of that, you'd be able to do it like normally (with the fake megastone I suppose for megas) and just add the appropriate amount of posts.
In the end it's something aesthetic (and if the final evolution is fake and has a different typing it wouldn't count for legends)
E.g.: If I make a Mega Shedinja for example and let's say it's Ghost/Dark. I'd just do another Shedinja, buy a fake megastone and "evolve" it, like I was handling a normal mega evolution. Mega Shedinja would still be Bug/Ghost for legendary purposes though.

EDIT: To clarify, it wouldn't be up to Speed or Gigi to do the sprites though. You (as in the person getting the mon) would need to have the appropriate colored sprites if you care about them.

[ZrowNoodles]

Like Mega Mega Evolution? Or Evolving after Mega Evolving an X amount of time? . w .

[Lovecraft]

I was thinking of like:
- Pre evolution of Pokemon that don't evolve and hasn't evolved (like Lapras or Tauros or Miltank or Kangaskhan)
- Pre evolution of Pokemon that evolve once and hasn't evolved (like Scyther or Houndour)
- Pre evolution of Pokemon that has evolved once and can't evolve (like Houndoom or Scizor or Volcarona)
- Evolution of Pokemon that don't evolve and hasn't evolved (Like Lapras or Tauros or Miltank or Kangaskhan)
- Evolution (split) of Pokemon that can evolve (like Poliwag, Scyther, Eevee, Riolu, Pawniard, etc.)
- Mega Evolution / Primal Reversion of Pokemon that can't mega evolve (FLYGON, MILOTIC, BUTTERFREE I'm looking at you Gamefreak)
- Mega Evolution (alternate) / Primal Reversion of Pokemon that already can mega evolve (think something along the line of Mega Evolution X and Mega Evolution Y)

Pokemon that only evolved once are treated like they evolve twice for completion status
Pokemon that evolves twice don't change quota, just has different name / aesthetics
The same procedure to Mega Evolving would apply - you'd just need to buy Fakite (TM) or whatever name you want.
(To stop at the pre-evolution or a middle stage you'd still need an Everstone though)

Mega Mega wouldn't really work because you'd need a Pokemon to hold a Mega Stone while holding another Mega Stone.

[PTGigi]

That sounds like a neat idea. C: But what happens if an official evolution/pre-evolution/mega is released? Pre-evolutions also make no sense unless you use an Everstone, it only makes you take more posts to evolve.



1 more Absol until I get a complete set! :D Though it's really proving hard for me to get the last one (180%) because of how my genders are spread. Does anyone have a 120% or 240% Male in the Field egg group that would be able to breed before the 8th? (one of my Absols will be ready by the 8th to get the combination needed but that's sooooo long to wait XD) Got it :D

Also figure I should advertise my post in the trade thread since no one else has posted there =P Currently offering up a Violet Venusaur and a purple Ninetales~ http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?5452-Pokemon-Prism-Trading-Center&p=128266&viewfull=1#post128266

[SassySnivy]

Hey everyone. Sorry about the hiatus from Prism! I'm back now. ^^;; I'll be taking care of the Breeding Center and updating the OP in the Adoption Center when needed. And of course, if you need any help, PTGigi, I'll be here now. XD

Well, better get started! o3o

[Dash]

I'd also like to say i'm back now because i have a long break and well I have nothing to do for 4 whole days, so yay me.

Having already talked to Speed about this (maybe about a month ago? I've been having a rough time), I'm going to be introducing a new system to Prism that might open up more options and the such. I'll be making a bigger post on it later, but I will ask this since I feel like it might help me a little bit:

If there was something you'd like to see (Besides the custom megalutions), what would it be?

[PTGigi]

I'd like to see a little more activity in the trade section. XD shameless plug: I just added a Lime Espeon to my list of offers C:

[SassySnivy]

I've also made the second post in the thread a uft section, just in case things start to get cluttered. :>

[Caite-chan]

So I was wondering is it possible to do breeding and save the eggs for later? I'm working on Minun now and was going to breed. Can I breed and then start the egg when I finish Minun?

[SassySnivy]

To avoid confusion, I think itd be best to wait. Also, Pokemon do have to be raised 100% before they can breed. What's the rush? x] Caite-chan

I'm also giving away Mew to everyone!
http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?5922-Prism-Free-Mew-Distribution!

Gotta ask for one to claim it, Though. :P

[PTGigi]

Got my Mew /o/
I think I'm gonna keep him how he is. Was thinking about getting items to change his color depending on what I got but I like my little faux-shiny Mew C:

[SassySnivy]

You know what would be really cool? To do trades that not only can be done for other Pokemon, but maybe for other things as well. Like, eye-dee-kay, maybe you could ask for Pokemon from here in exchange for art or something. <Almost> anything goes, here! I added that to the trading section.

I figured that being able to gift would be common sense, but hey, maybe not! Also, I made an option for someone to just post it up in the trading center to be adopted by whoever comes by to claim it first.

[PTGigi]

Sounds pretty sweet to me! :D



Plan of attack:
-Hatch two Espeon to free a slot
-Mega evolve one of my Yellow Absol with that slot (but now which one...?)
-After Mew hatches and the Absol Mega evolves, devote one slot to Eevee evos and the other to Mega Absol /o/

Maybe add more to my "Stuff to consider going for later" list too, and decide who I'm actually going for after the Eevee evos and Mega Absol. My options (after I complete Mega Absol) are to either go for all of them now or complete some of them now and the rest later, and whether I'm going to devote two slots to them or one and work on another species simultaneously.

Decisions, decisions, decisions!

[SassySnivy]

I'm wondering if we should do something to make Prism a little more involving. Hmm. Maybe I'm just over thinking things...but what do you all think could make the game more involving? Some rough battle system? A better economy other than posts being currency? I mean even with posts being currency is limited, because the only thing you can really do is gain posts.

Or do you guys think Prism is a good day to keep people posting around the forums as is?

I think it is quite popular as it is and I dare say it's been doing better than VPP. I had this roleplay idea for Prism but idk how that'd work out...

[SassySnivy]

Yeah, I guess I'm just always looking to do more with it xD it's been a little slow lately. What kind of idea did you have? Don't be afraid to share! 8D

[Ganyu]

Yeah, I guess I'm just always looking to do more with it xD it's been a little slow lately. What kind of idea did you have? Don't be afraid to share! 8DOh, just the typical sort of roleplay. A trainer or PMD roleplay would be most suitable and friendly to all. I was thinking like we could roleplay as the coloured pokemon (or as trainers who own them) and our characters would've to be the ones we've already completed in the stats.

Maybe there'll be a reward for finishing the roleplay, like a completed pokemon with a special colour.~

[PTGigi]

Challenge/contests could be a good idea. I definitely could see art contests being fun C:

Challenges could be something like make X posts in Y forum section. Raise a X color/type/etc Pokemon. Trade/Breed with X people. Stuff like that C:

Not really a roleplayer myself, but that roleplay idea sounds pretty cool! O:

Sounds like you're suggesting an achievement section. Achievements are an awesome way to get people to keep pushing, as if the legendary goals aren't enough. Then again, the legendary goals are pretty long-term goals, and achievements could be like short-term, sub-goals along the way in a sense.

Okay, that definitely did not make any sense. Sorry. Lot going on. Anyway, what I'm saying is that you could consider going for legendary Pokemon as achievements in a sense; except achievements are usually many short-term goals rather than a few long-term ones. I think an achievement feature could be a great idea, but the big question is what we would use to reward users with. A new "color" of Pokemon? Maybe rainbow Pokemon or two-tones? Giving away regular-colored Pokemon seems a little...well, it just doesn't sound too motivating. Maybe we could have prizes for certain, lower achievements that are where the user can pick what Pokemon and/or color they want. But rainbow Pokemon and/or two-toned Pokemon could be a kinda cool special thing.

Roleplay would be neat, too, but that would have to be an independently-run thing. I mean I'd totally sponsor it 100%, but someone else would have to be responsible for the elements of the RP and just the RP itself since I can't run an RP to save my life. x]

[PTGigi]

That made sense to me C: Another thought it maybe achievements could be worth points and those points could be converted into "posts"? So if you get achievement(s) worth 30 points, you could use it to "buy" a fully grown, 2-stage Pokemon. So sorta along the lines of the alternate currency you were suggesting earlier?

[Ganyu]

I don't mind helping to co-host a roleplay provided I have the time and motivation to write (I always have that so it's mostly whether my life permits xD)

[SassySnivy]

Well guys, I plan on implementing a basic currency system for the game that is much more...practical than posts. Also, two-toned Pokemon will also be included. Two-Tones have a very rare chance of occuring for every breeding session. There's a chance that instead of being a mix, the baby will be BOTH of the colors of the parents. Like colorless Pokemon, they will also be unable to breed...for now.

Expect those within the next week or so!

[Rival Max]

Hey I joined ;) and im on my 3rd one right now !

[SassySnivy]

I saw that! You're doing great. 8D Welcome aboard!

[Rival Max]

I saw that! You're doing great. 8D Welcome aboard!

I wish I would have asked about this sooner ;)

[PTGigi]

Yeah, welcome! :D It's great to see more people jumping in =P

Yaaaaaaaaay self advertising time~ I figured since I had so many Pokemon if people want to use some of mine to breed I'd be more than happy to! Send me a VM if you wanna breed a Pokemon! =P

[Rival Max]

That is a lot of pokemon ;)

[Dennis Jansen]

Yoooo.

At first page it says i have 840 posts, i have 1257 posts
It also says i have 5 Pokémon, i have 22

I know its probably very hard to keep that updated but im just saying :p

[SassySnivy]

Yeah, I stopped updating that tbh

[Dennis Jansen]

Lol okay, i get it doe, keeping that updated would be hard

[SassySnivy]

Nah. Actually, I had completely forgotten about it. I'm gonna update it now that you mentioned it because otherwise it's gonna bother me. P: x]

[Dennis Jansen]

Okay! By the way i put up number of Pokémon at the top of my stats because Wynaut? :3

[Ganyu]

I like how I'm the richest person in Prism atm. xD

[Dennis Jansen]

I like how I'm the richest person in Prism atm. xD

Psst... Gimme some money... Pls...

[SassySnivy]

Hagan, also notice how you and Gigi get a honorable mention in the description for the Breeder App Plus.


http://i.imgur.com/qXyQBHX.png Breeder's Application Plus: Allows you to permanently raise three Pokemon at a time, total. costs ¥1,000 PokeDollars OR reach 50 fully-raised Pokemon. If you're eligible for this upgrade by the latter method, then make sure you still post that here. We want to make sure that we can keep track of this stuff. Upon saving up enough posts for this upgrade, it is automatically valid / active and therefore should be added to your stats post. YOU MUST HAVE THE BREEDER'S APPLICATION ITEM TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THIS. I have a foreboding feeling about this. I think I'll regret it later on....

Made especially for those crazy people! I'm looking at you, PTGigi and Ghostwriter

x] I couldn't help myself.

[PTGigi]

I like how I'm the richest person in Prism atm. xD
I was close, but I quickly spent it all XD

[SassySnivy]

Hey, everyone! Two-Toned Pokemon have been added now. Check out the Breeding Center for more information. And of as usual, if you have ANY questions, comments, suggestions, etc., feel free to post them here!

[Rival Max]

There is a lot of stuff to go with this game...lol.

[SassySnivy]

Yup! Just keeps building up.

This should be the last big update for a while, though.

[Rival Max]

Limited space in my brain...I will not remember all of it. Though Im not really a fan of getting two pokemon at once. It will take me forever to get anywhere unlocking that.

Also If I read it right I need to unlock five or six different colors of the same pokemon to get the mega of that pokemon?

[Dash]

Since I figured it needed it after all these updates and features that have gotten added, I've decided to give Pokemon Prism an upgrade - aka, it now has it's own subforum. If anyone has any disagreements however, let me know.'
Shadow Tracker Max, to get a mega for a Pokemon, you must acquire all the Hue colors for it that are possible from the Adoption Center.

How many hues are there ?

[PTGigi]

Subforum! :D


How many hues are there ?
12!
Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime Green, Green, Seafoam, Cyan, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Fuchsia, and Magenta!

[SassySnivy]

Main hues, anyway. Technically, there are 360 possible hues

[Rival Max]

12 !!! uh can you get repeats? Like if I had a blue porygon if i requested another could I get another blue ?

[SassySnivy]

Yup, it's possible to get another blue Porygon. You can't choose, though, because it's random. You can get the 12 main hues from the Adoption Center...but only those. The other colors have to be bred for.

[Rival Max]

IF you claimed an egg in the event and found all 20 does that mean you get two celebiis?

[SassySnivy]

No, just the colorless one. ^^; maybe I should have clarified that xD

To be honest, it's kinda undecided. I figure that its your choice whether you want the one of a random color or the colorless one so long as you get all 20 eggs. :3

[Rival Max]

You should offer both! or maybe for those of us who werent around for mew we can have that as option if we were able to claim and find all 20!

[SassySnivy]

I'll definitely consider it. I mean there's a crap ton of prizes all in all anyhow, so I figured that if anything it would be satisfactory. We will see how many people end up finding all 20 eggs and I'll decide from that. :>

[Rival Max]

Thanks! also I did claim the two pokemon i finished since the bank opened. Unless I was suppose to claim the gible line as well.

[SassySnivy]

Yeah, that was 100% my mistake. So preoccupied that I didn't put two and two together, hahah

[Dash]

So everyone knows, since with the moving you guys got your own section, your stats will be able to be freely posted as threads and edited in any way you like. I'm currently doing the moving of them, so feel free to edit once you see it up!

[Ganyu]

Awesome - we have our own subforum~ ^^

And omg three pokemon at once is just amazing, for me XD I think I have almost 50 pokemon hahaha I might decide to save my cash :3

edit: oh wow I have 55 pures and 5 non-pures so I can get my BA+ xD

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Congrats on your sub forum! :D

[Rival Max]

Yes, congrats!

[Caite-chan]

Woo hoo our own section...lol.

When can we claim our Easter Egg Hunt prizes?

[SassySnivy]

As soon as I get home and can put the thread up.... ^^;;

[Rival Max]

You shouldnt have let me into your game.. I post like a crazy person twice as much when im motivated ;)

[SassySnivy]

Hahah, that's a good thing. Just slow down a little right before you get your Pokemon. It'll be another couple hours before I can get to you, lol

[Caite-chan]

We should just put Shadow Tracker Max on a leash and yank him back when he's just about to reach the limit. xD

[Rival Max]

Yicks whats the limit ;P

[Caite-chan]

You know so you're not doing 8 million of them before they can be gen'd. xD

[Rival Max]

hahaha but i dont like leashes they make me look fat!

[SassySnivy]

Hey guys, I think I need some help coming up with item names. Here's what they do:

Name: Eliminates the chance of getting a dual-toned Pokemon. costs ¥25 PokeDollars. Upon using this item, please state so in the Breeding Center along with your breeding application.

Name: Guarantees that the next Pokemon you get will be a Male. Does not work for Female-only Pokemon. costs ¥100 PokeDollars. Upon using this item, please state so in the Breeding Center or Adoption Center along with your application.

[Caite-chan]

Name: Monochrome Stone Eliminates the chance of getting a dual-toned Pokemon. costs ¥25 PokeDollars. Upon using this item, please state so in the Breeding Center along with your breeding application.

[Rival Max]

maybe some kind of
Y powder and X powder for the sexs

[Caite-chan]

I didn't know guys used powder...lol.

Y Powder for Females and X Cologne for Males.

[PTGigi]

All this X and Y talk makes me think of the games =P
I like Caite-chan's suggestion of "Monochrome Stone" for the negating dual-tones, but I'm not 100% sold on "X/Y Powder/Cologne". But I have no better suggestions so I'll shut up XD

I see someone is going after Articuno =P Maybe I should target a Legendary...I wanna target Articuno but she seems to be claimed already and I'd feel mean sniping it D: Mewtwo's a bit out of reach for me at the moment if I want to go for him without breaking my system ;0;

[Caite-chan]

LMAO! I was gonna say you touch my Zapdos and I'll drop kick you. :D

[PTGigi]

WELL good thing I like Zapdos the least of the 3 Legendary Birds XD Guess the Fire bird it is then!

[Rival Max]

who is targeting one ;)

[Caite-chan]

You touch my favorite legendary and I'll....I'll....do bad things to you.

[PTGigi]

But a warning/challenge! If/When I grab Moltres and IF Articuno is still free I'm gunning for Articuno =P Then IF Zapdos is free after that I might have to go after him too XD

[Rival Max]

Most of you have a huge head start on me..lol

[SassySnivy]

Hahah you guys. Glad that we've got some people aiming to get a legendary. I think I'll save my efforts for the Gen III Legendaries. <3

Also I love the idea of the Monochrome stone. I'll just have to recolor an evolutionary stone or something and then I can add that. Thanks Caite! :D

X and Y are a good idea, too. Not sure about powder / cologne, but it's a start!

[PTGigi]

How's Legendary rotation going to work Speed? Do we have to wait for all the Legends to be claimed before new ones come in, will after a time new ones just be shifted in, or when 1 is claimed with another be put up in it's spot?

Also, how do Two Tones work for Legendary Color requirements?

so many questions!

[Rival Max]

Can someone explain how the colors work in this..lol. Im looking at the prism chart here.

[PTGigi]

Can someone explain how the colors work in this..lol. Im looking at the prism chart here.The colors on the Prism Breeding Chart (http://giginuzlocke.weebly.com/prism.html)?

The colors down the Left are the colors of the Male. The colors on the Top are the colors of the female. Where they intersect is the offspring's color. You can also narrow it down with the boxes above by adding/removing colors (so ideally, put down the colors of the Pokemon you possess in those boxes)

[SassySnivy]

I'll have to add two tones to the legendary info.

Since two tones are so rare and difficult to get, I'm thinking that maybe they should be the only Pokemon that are able to count for two color requirements...but only for the color requirements. Thoughts? x]

There are 12 main colors called "Pure" colors. You can breed Pokemon to get Hybrid colors as well as other Pure colors. In total, there are 359 colors available, not including the special types of Pokemon. (Colorless, Two-Toned)

The legendary requirements (usually) state that any color between the colors x and y count as Color Name. So for instance, for the purpose of legendaries, any color from 346 to 15 counts as red. ^^

And I was thinking of, for the legendary rotations, waiting until all the legendaries have been taken for one region. Or we could do it like VPP ddoes...like, how they have one region rotation last 2 months.

[Caite-chan]

I like the whole two tones being able to be good for both when it comes to Legendaries.

[Rival Max]

I looked through there already. My question to speed was why is 256 and option for Articuno when there is no 256 on the color scale created for prism. Just a 225-240 and 255.

[SassySnivy]

Uh

And I was thinking of, for the legendary rotations, waiting until all the legendaries have been taken for one region. Or we could do it like VPP ddoes...like, how they have one region rotation last 2 months.I feel like we'd get stuck on a Legend if the rotation changed when all were taken either because you get a Legend no one's interested in at the moment or what have you. I wouldn't mind going the VPP route, but I also feel like we should try to do something different.
I guess a suggestion might be having a set number of Legendary slots and when a Legendary is claimed, rotate in a new Legend. For example, right now we have Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Mewtwo X, and Mewtwo Y. Let's then say Articuno is claimed. Raikou, being the next Legendary on the list gets added. So now available Legends are Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Mewtwo X, Mewtwo Y, and Raikou. When someone else gets claimed, Entei gets added, etc, etc. A timer could also be added, to ensure certain Legends aren't hanging around too long (so a Legend can hang around for a max of 2 months, then automatically be removed). Just a thought if we want to do something different from VPP ^-^

The breeding chart just shows the pure colors by default since that's what most people would be breeding, but all 360 hues can be gotten through breeding. So you're very unlikely to find someone who has a 256% Pokemon, but it is possible.

[Rival Max]

Sounds good to me!

ohhh okay, Speed said something like that but I wasnt sure exactly what it meant. Now I get it. The color scale only covers the main colors. Thanks

I like that idea. I think maybe I'll add that to the legendary post and we can give this system a try! This means, though, that only 6 legendaries can be listed at a time. I think that should be plenty, though. Maybe we'll just leave it at that for now so that it's not too complicated. If it doesn't work, I think I'll go ahead and revert to how VPP does it since that's a pretty simple and efficient system itself. ^^

[Rival Max]

Its an interesting idea. I like it because unlike VPP Prism seems to focus on all areas.

Curious though would a legend get shuffled back in ?? Cause VPP gives you a chance to claim a legend the next time it comes around. Even if its been claimed before.

[PTGigi]

Sounds good, Speed! The average per region is about 9, though 6 is just as good a number =P

Yeah you'd just have to wait for it to go through the list of all Legends before any particular one comes back. Depending on when people grab them, it could either cycle them back through faster or slower than VPP.

[SassySnivy]

I was actually wondering the same thing myself, Shadow Tracker Max xD

While this would never happen, what if only 1 legendary was claimed at one time? So like, Articuno is claimed. And then somehow, without ANY of the other Kanto legendaries being claimed, we go through EVERY other legendary and it loops back around to Articuno. While I can't see that happening any time soon, if we need to I think I will add like some kind of time cap for previous-gen legendaries to stick around for. Like, 2 months, kinda like how Gigi mentioned. x]

[Rival Max]

I just wanted to make sure that they will rotate back in. Since some of us wont get our favorite legends because of where we started. This applies to people joining in the future.

I was going to address that but then I figured it was so unlikely, there wouldn't be much need. But a cap would solve that =P

[Caite-chan]

I'm only 2 away from getting the Breeders Application for FREE! xD

[Rival Max]

I read that Nidoking and Nidoqueen can breed in Prism. Which is awesome. Does that mean that in Prism Nidoqueen is in the same egg groups as Nidoking Monster/Field?

[SassySnivy]

Yep! I find it ridiculous that Nidoqueen can't breed in the games. At all. It makes no sense and I wanted to correct that in this game. So yeah, Nidoqueen shares the same egg group as its other Nido counterparts. :3

[Rival Max]

Awesome!
