that's less convenient than using a good browser 24/7

Dude. Chrome. I was an IE guy for a loooong time until a virus caused me to try a different browser.

Anyway, just caught my first one, this seems fun, good show and all that.

EDIT: Okay, I just spent more time than I'd like to admit to hunting for Pokemon. This is fun. 

IE is also not very secure.

Insecure Explorer? hurr hurr...

Actually, Dr. Mc's birthday got me thinking... why don't we give someone a free shiny/pokemon on their birthday? =o

(also shinys will be a great idea for prizes and stuff!) ;o;

(note: I had this posted in the other thread but deleted and reposted)

I like that idea

*seconds the motion*

Cooldown system mostly complete, was not enabled for this update. TDS is a dick, cooldown / capture blocking system is now top priority. After which, pokemon deletion. Which will be tested on TDS.

I'm sorry, I wasn't really trying to be a dick. I was just trying to get a Squirtle. All I did was press F5 + search the word "appeared" which only took a few seconds to find a pokemon on the page. If you want people to bypass the trick you could use an image to denote the appearance of the pokemon rather than using plain text which is easy to track (Not needed for the actual name since it's not feasible to track the name of the pokemon). Again, I'm sorry about what I did. I was not aware I was being such a big problem and I'll stop using the system.

spamming it was just sorta against the spirit of the system. it's not supposed to be an instant gratification thing

Strike basically hit the nail on the head.  Back during first testing I wanted to see if there was any diminishing returns so I pointed the refreshing method out to Roph.  I'm glad to see a cooldown system being implemented.  It would suck if everyone had all 251 of them before we implemented trading.

I always anticipated a jerk would try spamming threads to try and mass-capture which is why I generate & send a key along with the ajax encounter request. For now it's unused, though eventually it will also rate-limit your encounters.

The cooldown on capture is already implemented.

Also, I'm aware of a little bug where your sightings page section will list double pokemon if you've seen a normal & shiny variant. I'll fix it and make the shiny version appear shiny

Also in the next update, the "owned pokemon" page will be the default view on a trainer's profile.

Spamming takes the fun out of it, I think. It's way more rewarding to catch one by simply browsing... like that's ever stopped anyone from using an exploit in a game. Yes, controls ought to be put on.

BTW, TDS, I don't think you were being a jerk.

I think the Pokemon avatars are throwing some people off and making them think they've seen Pokemon. I've heard more than a couple people say that.

Well, ninetales avatar, it's been fun.

Here's how the release area should look like:

That pika

;_; pikachu wants to wake up ash cause he turned to stone ;________;

I missed a pokemon or two before because .. well I will load a page, quickly scroll through to see if a pokemon shows up, then read the new entries. But with all of the pokemon avatars sometimes I still didn't see them in time to catch them  

Also when a page takes you to the last seen reply you have a chance of missing one if it spawns on a higher post.

Yup, thus the reason I scroll through and then read the posts, just caught Alakazam by scrolling to the top of this page before reading your reply xD  lol 

Can you implement microtransactions that reset your cooldown? Thanks.

This isn't EA's Pokemon Keeper

Also in the next update, you will be able to click on pokemon to see who else owns it

...switched over and I've been using FF by default the past couple days.. It's working out okay, though now I have to go in and import all my favorites lolz

That's pretty much what I do too lmao.. That's how I caught ALL except my shiny so far hahaha

I keep forgetting to hunt first and read later. I've missed out on two and failed to capture four so far! Although, the escapees were probably due to the difficulty multiplier. I have been quite the forum potato this evening.

I can't seem to update my trainer image, for some reason. :O

I struggled with updating mine as well, so I assume it's because of the same reason. When you select the trainer, keep your mouse inside the trainer pane so it doesn't collapse and hit the update button inside said pane at the bottom, rather than the one under the favorite pokemon pane. I didn't know there was one in the trainer pane because I didn't scroll all the way down to see it and it auto collapsed before I ever could.
