Feedback and Input! Round 2!
Hey guys!
Since we've just come out of a major event, we'd like to take this opportunity to ask for another round of feedback and input similar to what we had a few months ago! We'd like input both on the event itself and on some game mechanics that we are wondering how to streamline right now.
The Event
Basically, we heard from a few people that it was difficult to know how to really jump in. Additionally, as mods, we noticed that people were reluctant to group up with each other; at the beginning, there were many solo threads waiting for a response. We can't respond to everyone's threads individually, so during events, we really do need for groups to be able to happen. Our response to this was to allow the event to go a few extra days, but we'd be open to hearing any suggestions about how to streamline future events.
Feel free to give any other comments about the event, too, positive or negative!
Wild Pokemon Bonding
First off, thank you to Nor for having helped us since our first round of Helper apps! She has asked to step down, so everyone thank her for helping us out so long!
This brings us to a question/concern we currently have:
What would you guys like to see from the wild Pokemon bonding in this game? Is having the option to have someone thread Pokemon with you someone you guys want to see continue? At the moment, there is a possibility that we will scrap this mechanic based on input received and on discussion with our Helpers, past and present. (Helpers, we'll initiate a conversation with you probably tomorrow!)
Anything Else
We're open to hearing feedback about anything else, too!
This post will be open to anonymous comments. However, we cannot screen the post as anon would then not be able to see our responses to them.

I also like the bonding threads, but since that's a lot of work for the mods....what about a compromise? When you roll for a Pokémon you can specify whether you want it to come with a gender and/or personality assigned, as well as where specifically the Trainer found it. Something like (I'll use Haruka's first roll as an example):
"Congratulations, it's a male Murkrow! Murkrow will be level 8.
Haruka will encounter this Pokémon as it chases a Budew across her path. It's a bit of a bully, and thinks it's hot stuff."
That way, there's still an element of surprise to the Pokémon you roll. Or you can opt out if you have ideas for that Pokémon already. Would that work?
