Training Changes

[HMTKSteve]

I was talking to Nik the other day about adding a training benefit for gang members. Here is what I am thinking:

1) Pay a gang member $1,000 x member level to train your Pokemon.
2) In 12 hours time your Pokemon will be trained.

I'm going to create a formula based on what we now have for training wherein the member's stats will determine how many EVs your Pokemon gains under tutelage.

Because you can only hire a fellow gang member to train your Pokemon this will put some importance on gangs (or whatever we decide to call them). It also rewards members for having high stats in that they can better train their friends Pokemon as well as perform missions easier.

Comments or suggestions?

Since the cost will be higher for those of a higher level, will that mean that those of a higher level will train pokemon more effectively, regardless of stats? Because you can get to really high levels without having high stats, if you just don't go to the gym.

And someone that gets paid to train, what do they actually have to *do* to train the other person's pokemon? Nothing?

Also wondering how this will affect the other methods of training - the vitamins and the manaul, click to train thing. Which I still don't quite understand btw. :-P

I definitely think something like this would be awesome. Definitely need some benefits to being in a gang and I think this could be a good one. :)

I think maybe payment in crystals should also be an option??

oh trust me, there are benefits of being in a gang.... <.<

Like what??

Like whatever the leaders of that gang provide for their members. Before just signing up with gangs, you should all inquire as to the benefits each one offers.

What's there a gang can provide, though, at this point? You can't transfer pokemon, EXP, BP, success, etc. Only thing I can think of is money, but it's plenty easy to get money without being given a hand-out.

The cash for training system has been completely removed from the game. I am now working on the gang-based training system.
