Help needed!

Post by Pikachu3828 »

The Pika Club Adoption Agency needs your help! The Breeder Manual is out of date and we need your help in updating it!

You don't need to know HTML to help but if you'd like to write a section for the Breeder Manual that is not yet covered in it then please submit it here, using the same format as the Breeder Manual currently does (eg headings/sub-headings etc).

To enter simply submit your breeder manual entry below. Please make it look as nice as possible (no spelling mistakes!) and make it as informative and helpful as you can. Don't worry if someone else has already written at entry for the topic you're covering. The best entries will make it into the Breeder Manual!

Breeder Card
What are breeder levels?
Breeder levels are where you as a breeder can get exp. and gain levels just like your pokemon gain levels.
What are breeder levels used for?
Breeder levels are used to gain perks that change your experience at the Pika Club. When you gain enough levels to gat a perk you get to choose from a few different choices. The perk you choose is permanent so make sure that's the one you really want to have before you pick.
How to get breeder exp. and money?
Breeder exp. and money can be got from petting other people's pokemon, showing Professor Rowan the pokemon he wants to see, and completing the daily quest at the Trick House. Money can also be found through random events.
What is karma?
Karma is whether you do good or bad. You gain karma from random events, but whether it is good or bad karma depends on how you react to the random event.

Here's a bit of my ideas! This is all I have time to write for now but hopefully I'll come up with some more for you later! ^_^

Updated:

Eggs and hatching
How do I hatch eggs?
Eggs hatch automatically after a certain amount of time has passed since conception (when you obtained the egg). The amount of time an egg takes to hatch depends on the rarity of the Pokémon inside of the egg; the rarer the Pokémon the longer it will take to hatch. You can speed up the egg hatching process too. Read below to find out how. (Note: Eggs you have bred yourself in the Breeding Center will hatch, by default, in one hour, no matter the rarity of the pokemon inside.)

When will I know an egg has hatched?
Eggs hatch automatically over time. The feature of alert messages was added during an update. Of these alerts there is one that tell you when an egg has hatched and what was inside. This is not sent as an email or PM but a pop up message on your screen while you are brousing the Adoption Agency. (Note: The egg must be in your party in order for it to hatch.)



New:

Pop-up Alert Messages
Sometimes you will see Pop-up Alert Messages on your screen as you brouse the AA. These messages are to help inform you of events that have happened. There are multiple different kinds of Alerts.

Left-side Alerts:
These pop up on the left side of your screen.
Egg Hatching - An alert that will pop up telling you an egg of yours (that is in your party) has hatched. It also tells you what type of pokemon was in the egg. (Note: Does not tell you gender)
Pokemon Level-up - An alert that tells you when one of your pokemon has levelled up.
Trade Acceptance - This alert tells you when someone has accepted a trade. Weither it be one you set up to a specific person or open for anyone in the Trade Center. It tells you who accepted the trade and what the trade was. Meaning what pokemon you gave and what pokemon you recieved.

Right-side Alerts:
These are random events that happened as you brouse the AA. They appear on the right side of your screen.
Money Found - A message that pops up telling you that you have found some money and exactly how much.
Injured Pokemon Found - This message pops up telling you that you have found an injured pokemon. It will give you an option to help it or not. Helping it will gain you Karma. (Note: Helping the pokemon will send you to a new page if you don't open the link to start in a new tab/window. )
Pokemon Scurrying By - When a pokemon randomly runs by. There is no Karma lost or Karma gained.
Karma Lost - This alert tells you that a wild pokemon ran by, much like the alert listed above. Though you will notice in this case that you lose Karma. There is no sure-fire way to stop this from happening. It's just a random event. Though your chances of getting this alert are increased if you ignore the 'Injured Pokemon Found' message.


~Pikachu if you'd rather it be just one discription for the Pokemon Scurrying By and Karma Lost then here's a reworded version~
Pokemon Scurrying By - This is an alert telling you a pokemon randomly ran by. There is a chance that when this happens you will lose Karma. There is no sure-fire way to stop this from happening. It's just a random event. Though your chances of getting this alert with the 'Karma Lost' bit are increased if you ignore the 'Injured Pokemon Found' message.

You don't actually ALWAYS lose Karma when a pokemon scurries by. I've had it happen before and there was no change in my Karma ^^'

Ive found that they scurry by when I dont heal an injured pokemon and they keep scurrying by till i lose karma. Often seems like the more pokemoni heal before i miss one, the longer it takes for scurrying to have a negative effect.

I understand that. Just saying that the only time they seem to bother me is when I inadvertantly F5 a page before noticing the pokemon needing help on it.

What is supposed to happen is when an injured Pokémon comes to you for help you have the option of healing or ignore it. If you ignore it then the next time a random event comes (might be specifically the help a Pokémon or any of them, can't remember) up, it'll give you the karma loss for ignoring the Pokémon.

The idea for and implementation of the interactive random events happened quite late in development and the code is a bit more rushed than I'd perhaps like. I plan to alter the script so that when you come across an injured Pokémon it stays available for say 30 seconds-1 minute after becoming active, which means even if you change or refresh the page it will still show for a short period of time. This will help the people who are randomly clicking around or refreshing the page over and over and just notice the event too late will still be able to help the Pokémon and avoid an unfair karma loss.
