Picking a favourite is based on your pokedex. Your pokedex doesn't count for shinies though, so I grab shinies from your inventory for the fave shiny part of the list

I wanted to hear a Shiny Lopunny lawlz but I gave it to Yuyu

But yeah that makes sense :]

Sorrry... I'll try to get you a new one, I promise.

You can now pick 5 additional pokemon in your PC, to make up a team of 6. Here's yuyubabe's pink collection:

Woooah, sweet. Can't wait to toy around with this.

Evolution paths are now recognised in RMRKMon

Here's Eeevee for example. Here's Chansey.

Is it just me or is the cool down freaking out?  I last caught a Pokemon around 1:30 pm (my time) before I went to pick my nephew up. I just arrived home around 10 minutes ago and decided to check for another. Now if I currently own a Pokemon or it's in my pokedex (thank you, Roph, for making that easy to see at a glance) I don't catch it. I keep looking. And I've stopped using multiple tabs because I want to catch the Pokemon I want.   I did that just now and finally got Sharpedo.  I clicked on him and got "Sharpedo escaped (!)" 

Even the RMRKMon list shows that I last caught a Pokemon at: last caught: Apr 21st, 5:17 pm (which I assume would be 1:17, and that's about right)


And just in case the time becomes an issue:

I'm showing Sophist last caught at: Last caught: Apr 21st, 9:26 pm  Which is about 3 and a half hours into the future. Unless he can time travel, that isn't it.

Also, I posted this, saw a , clicked it and caught it. And it took me about 5 minutes to type up that post. :confused:

All times in RMRKmon (trainer since, last caught, cooldown comparisons) are based on the timezone of the server, which is UTC.

Cooldown rates haven't changed since they were first added. Whether you have seen it before or it's in your dex or you own it makes no difference. It's just a comparison between the current time and the last time you caught something. The only exception is if the pokemon is shiny, then it's locked at 95% chance.

I think it'd be nice if the cooldown affected encounter chance rather than capture chance. In addition to being less rage-inducing when you see a pokemon that you'd really like escape because you just caught a stupid Jigglypuff, it would also cut down on people just ctrl+F5 spamming RMRKmon pages just to catch more Pokemon, which is really lame and defeats the whole point of the minigame. Like I understand doing that now and then - even I do it too when I realize I haven't seen one in a while so I just go to an RMRKmon page and catch one - but I suspect there are quite a few users who abuse the system as it is just because it's so simple to do so.

Dangit, how come I hadn't thought of that!  I do cheat and use this board a lot though lol If it's about time for another capture and I haven't seen one in my normal browsing, I come here and check through the threads xD

YES!

I use Ctrl+F to find pokemon... but I only catch one like every hour o:

Right, I don't think anyone will say there's a problem with doing that. It is a problem when someone goes from having very few pokemon to being one of the people with tons of pokemon in a very short amount of time, most likely from ctrl+F5 spamming. Even with the cooldown, if you refresh enough you're going to catch a lot. Some people admitted to doing this a while back, and while no one may explicitly say that's what they're doing now, it's pretty obvious.

Not to be all on the issue, I really don't care that much, it's just kind of lame. The bigger problem I have is that encountering pokemon should be a good thing, but with cooldown affecting capture chance rather than encounter chance, it often isn't.

ctrl+F to find them isn't really a problem. It's the same thing as scrolling down an entire page which is what people do anyway.

EDIT: Thinking more on it now, I'm not sure how much cooldown on encounter chance rather than capture chance would make a difference. Roph would have to clarify on that issue. Maybe cooldown should just be more severe for capture chance. After a few minutes, I believe, the chance is 15%. That's not very high, but if you refresh enough you'll still catch one. But then the cooldown should wear off after 2 or 3 hours like it does now, for people that don't abuse the system, so tweaking the cooldown for capture chance might not be a good idea.

I'm getting confused now :x

Yeah, Ctrl+F is always a big help for me, since I tend to be rather oblivious. I never use Ctrl+F5, since it'd basically just be grinding for bytes of data and would lessen the fun and challenge of the whole thing.

So how about, up to 30 minutes after capturing you cannot encounter any more, and from 30-60 minutes after encountering, encounter rate is halved?

Sounds fair, I suppose the best way to see is to try it out! If everyone hates it we can always change it/go back to the way it was.

It's now active on RMRK =o

I saw, but never caught a shiny charmander. My sightings shows me as having caught it. I own a regular charmander.

Yeah, I've had similar issues. If you own the normal pokemon but saw a shiny and didn't catch it, the shiny will show up as caught anyway under Sightings. It does that for me with Haunter and a couple others.

Ditto = o

The sightings section toggles the transparency based on whether it's in your dex. Pokedexes don't care about shiny-ness, though if you've seen a shiny of a particular pokemon, the sightings section will make that distinction.
