I have a small suggestion, which I hope can spark a discussion hopefully resulting in some improvements to the Token Store. As it is now regular pokes are 6, 9, 12, and 15 tokens with a 2 token increase for the "shiny chance" of which many of us have found is next to no chance (not the issue). Many times people will donate here and there over a long period of time, and really just have the worst luck, terrible ivs, and no shinys at all. When a person has membership there is a one token discount on all purchases, great addition, though in the search of that epic or shiny it doesn't quite cut it. I personally find the donation system here rather depressing, unrewarding, and very frustrating. I know PWO absolutely does not wish to become "pay-to-win", though I fail to see how it isn't that way in the first place. People who spam the token store with lots and lots of money are seen waltzing around with that shiny many wish they could have, but never will. As well those that sell tokens, rake in a lot of money, tbh this game is pay(ridiculous amounts)-to-win(get what you want).
Now here is my idea, no change in the shiny chance whatsoever it is fine as is, however make all pokemon bought in token store have shiny chance meaning that the 6, 9, 12, and 15 have shiny chance. Now for the bonus chance, my idea is to change the extra 2 token bonus pokemon to a guaranteed 15+ iv in ALL ivs. With this idea people can get just epic battlers they wish without breaking their own budgets, and shiny chance is just a teensy bit closer. This is a small change, and I feel many people will believe that it will be unfair for those not donating; or that then everyone will have good pokes(lol why not let us all have good pokes ;p). In response I simply say what about those of us that are frequently buying many many pokemon never to get a good one or a shiny, ones we can't even sell. I realize donations are a chance we are taking, I am just asking if we can get a little bit more out of it.
Another idea(though I doubt will ever be appreciated by the majority of the community here just yet) is in pokemon DoD, at the beginning of the month they give out a limited amount of customized pokemon. Where the first to purchase of this limited amount, get a shiny of their choice, with all 31 ivs, and the evs of their choosing. Yeah that idea is absurd and way out there, just thought i'd share ;D
