Increase SOS encounter rate with badge required

[Tiki]

While talking in PM with Tarlar

As an encouragement for others to role play more, maybe by badge 3 you can increase the percentage of SOS Pokemon by an amount (like 5?) Obviously this meant the later encounters might have their math reworked or something, IDK.

and while I'm at it

Maybe badge 4 or 5 can also increase alolan encounters provided you at least also did the first quest?... Or take it as a no.

Or maybe badge 4 you can change requesting wild Common/uncommon Pokemon to reaching page 4 instead of page 5. Obviously people with bikes this might not matter much.

Alolan encounters are tied to the Amulet. Doing more of the Alolan Trials powers it up. The only flaw in this system we've got is that we don't have anyone creating the trials themselves ^^; Currently there's only 3 of the... 9?-ish planned locations. With the Eevee one as a bonus just for the z-item.


We were also just talking about revisiting some SOS stuff now that we have seen it in action. Definitely any feedback you have on it we'd love to hear :3 Having badges affect things could be interesting.


Not too keen on making a bunch of special rules that need to be remembered all over for various things that aren't inherently related, so not as on board with the final suggestion there. As you mentioned, by the time you have 3+ badges you'd just get a bike to make it go faster and then the 1 page difference doesn't really matter much. Also, we don't generally like to encourage staying on a route forever trying to capture every single thing when you could move along and either find it later or trade for it.

The page 4 thing was more like for training. I was looking at the math that around Level 40+ is when you'll need more battles and if I could? we could? control to the wild pokemon for a specific pokemon we would send out first would be helpful.

the rest I understand.

also the SOS perk would be PER character. obviously if your second char hasn't beat it yet then no bonus.
