Ranking System

Suggestions and Contributions

Is it possible to add a ranking system to this game? Because I dunno.

I think it would be pretty cool and entertaining to put something, like in the Delite Plaza to show the top 10 of stuff. It could push players to hit that top 10, giving them a sort of goal. But this would require the ability of staff to be able to see the amount on one’s account, and I have no idea that would work. And then again, there can be people against their work being shown to everybody. But anyway, I feel like it would be an awesome idea to implement for hardworking, and even possibly competitive players.

Some examples of things to put in it:

of poke

of dungeon wins

of pokemon collected

of play time

of level 100s

etc

This idea sound’s quite interesting but there would be many flaws within it.

I like the idea, though, i don´t know if the staff will find it appropiate.

Some years back i wanted to make a topic of the “highest” lvled players (ie. highest Politoed) here in the forums and they deleted the topic. I see no harm in being a bit competitive as long as people don’t brag and be kind about it.

But well, it’s been a while, probably things are a bit different now. You could add a poll to this thread asking players if they would like the idea or not, that may help.

I actually like the idea… it’s interesting and unique. :3

Actually, the solution to this is pretty simple! Perhaps somebody could send a screenshot to a member of staff via Skype or something, and just look at the highest scores there?

Not to be picky, but could you state some of these “flaws”? It would be nice to know some of the negatives so we have a better understanding of it. x)

Edit: Loki does have some understandable reasons… there could be people who just don’t like the idea because of it counting as “bragging” or somewhat. But hey, every suggestion almost comes with it’s own bad effects! It’s the staffs choice and all, I guess. xD;

There could be flaws in some of the rankings. A ranking with play time, there could be a player that would just leave their computer on while they go out; a ranking with the number of Pokemon, you could have pages full of Pokémon that you don’t use; a ranking with dungeon wins, you could easily run Pebble Cave over and over until you’re at the top.

I believe this may be because the rankings that are listed would include players that would stay up there for a very long time, such as the amount of money somebody has or the amount of time they have been online; they will be there for a while before being knocked down by someone else.

I have two suggestions for this if it was to be implemented:

  1. Make the rankings temporary, so that they would last only a week or a month before they are cleared. This would make it so that everyone has a chance to make it to the top, but nobody would stay at the top for long unless they worked hard.

  2. Only record activities which would take effort to get to the top and stay at the top. (# of runs through a certain dungeon, # of missions completed, etc.)

This would make it more fair for all players to get in the rankings.
