The original concept of vouchers started quickly after the weekend event we had last year. We wanted to target a few areas that we felt based on player's feedback we wanted to improve upon. One such area was having players choose their prize, yet at the same time make it so lesser prizes value wise was still desired. This brought into the idea of tier prizes with players selecting the prize within the tiers and each tier costing so many vouchers.
Since then the tiers have evolved and changed over time. The structure originally started with just fossils. We quickly added egg pokemon into the mix as we felt it was a good way to get baby pokemon in game. Finally we also decided to add a few TMs as prizes as well to have something other than just pokemon. Thought at a time, 1 TM per tier.
Since this early development we have had discussions and changes to what prizes are available and in what tier. Even now not every staff member agrees on the prizes. We have changed a few things with a full consensus such as originally earthquake was suppose to be a tier 3 prize, however we all felt such a needed tm should be attained in a more rapid fashion, and as such was replaced.
Here is the current tier structure with the prizes:
tier 1 - vouchers
tier 2 - 3 vouchers
tier 3 - 7 vouchers
Now that you have had time to experience the system, discuss and speculate after, we now invite you to further voice your opinions, provide feedback, and help us to continue to make it better.
